what is this

Far Left fantasy

>make half of game
>release as full

jesus i couldn't even begin to imagine slogging through twice as much of this 'game'

>Western Video game developers
>West coast subhumans attempting to create anything of value
Only an idiot would've expected this to be good.

The absence of interesting mechanics made it feel like an unusually long game. I haven't had such a flat RPG experience since Wolfenstein 3D

Tim and Leonard were hyped up as developers of the original fallout when in reality one was a programmer who made the fallout 1 engine and the other was just an artist, they have very little actual knowledge of game design

wasnt hyped for it, because im jaded as fuck and just cant be arsed. pirated it anyway, liked it in the beginning. stopped playing right before the final mission. would recommend

i wasn't hyped for it either, when i played it it showed how garbage it was very, very early on

>game design
You mean with setting and lore of Fallout?

People thought it would have Sawyer-tier writing but Sawyer was working on Deadfire at the time. Deadfire ended up with the story Outer Worlds wanted to have.
>Deadfire: submitting to the not-Japanese Emprire's economic rule gives you stability and safety at the cost of culture and religion, submitting to the not-East India Trading Company gives economy at the cost of worsening the slave trade
>Outer Worlds: CORPORATIONS BAD ANARCHY GOOD

there were only two characters: flawless can do women and fucked up dudes who mess everything up

You mean communism. There's lot's of communism propaganda about how good it is and how other ideologies suck compare to it

>game releases with essential NPCs
>NOOOOOO IT'S COMPLETELY TERRIBLE, YOU HAVE NO FREEDOM WHICH IS WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IN A GAME

>outer worlds
>non-linear game with no essential NPCs
>NOOOOOOO WHY CAN'T IT BE MORE LIKE CD PROJEKT RED??

His*

Game is good user

No one is complaining about that though. Outer World's problem is it's fucking awful writing and that it's somehow less of a New Vegas game than FUCKING FALLOUT 4.

Poorly managed hype, mostly. This shit was heralded as the next New Vegas when it was first teased, and they did very little to correct that hype, so expectations didn't meet reality and everyone was disappointed.

Low bait faggot. I don't like this shit not because you can kill everyone

What is your point?

i'm sorry you have such terrible taste

No there's not. Outer Worlds doesn't present any kind of viable alternative to capitalism. Even the so called 'anarchist' sect in the game barely represent anarchism at all. As political satire OW is incredibly weak.

I didn't play it. It just looked like all the bad parts of Fallout - ugly environments but with a vomit of colour, stiff animations, shit physics, endless mindless looting, etc.

Let's also not forget the fact that it's an EGS timed exclusive and STILL not out on Steam yet.

>satire

They didn't understand that satire is best when it's subtle.

Yes, everything. Cain and Boyarsky were there for all of 1s development, but left early on in 2s development. Caine contribution to 1 was a lot of the programming of the mechanics and Boyarsky did art, but their input never extended to designing or directing the game. If you really look at the facts it’s realky not a surprise that it failed, these two had zero experience in making the original fallouts what they were and are terrible at actually directing the development of a video game. What do you get when you tell a computer nerd and an artist (as well as some female writers) to make a game? You get outer worlds

Yet somehow, it's still getting awards.

>female writers
hitting the real crux of the issue now.

I like it and hope there’s DLC.

The didn't get why people loved new vegas and too full of themselves.
Someone post that insane game design triangle from gdc presentation

>Nebula Award
Those things are worth less than used toilet paper.

The problem is that OW don't have much of themes except making fun of corporations. Even New Vegas has lot's themes to talk and think about

OW is just proof of what i always say, obsidian cant actually make good games and nv is 1 part fluke to 9 parts bethesdas work

how do you manage to make the same thread every couple of days?

It's called autism, user. Where the fuck do you think you are?

Barely any of the NV devs worked on Outer Worlds.

>Zig Forums is only a single person

seethe more, autismo

>communism
Where, I can't remember anything like that. Edgewater's anti-corp faction was full on anarchy and looting, their entire culture relied on stealing from the working class people to live. The MSI tried to break off from the economic bloc but ended up having to return to it. Groundbreaker relied on the black market and crime.

>their entire culture relied on stealing from the working class people to live.
that's what communism is, though
