    Yea, no thanks dawg. First game was boring AF, and on top of that, now you want 80 bucks?

    Best of luck with that. I got the first game for free and still haven’t played it. I say that as a fan of obsidian/old Bethesda i.e. the person you should be trying to get buy your game.

      It’s kinda mid, id suggest Tainted Grail if ya want a Bethesda like game. Doesn’t quite scratch the itch but it’s close enough.

        Better than Starfield as a sci-fi RPG. Had some pretty boring balance choices imo. Dialogue was decent but I didn’t really love anything.

        Yeah, I don’t like it, but mid is fair… And I’ll buy #2 anyways if the reviews hold up.

        People are free to complain about the price point but it’s pretty absurd to think gaming is somehow immune to inflation.

        I’m now replacing this game with Clockwork Revolution to keep an eye on since it’s the producer of the first 2 fallout games.

        I was probably a bit uncharitable. TBF it is on my backlog of games I intend to play. It’s just not a game I would want to pay $80 USD for based on what I’ve seen review wise.

    People are struggling to buy groceries.

    CEO: Let’s raise the price of a good people don’t need because money.

    I can only hope this move backfires spectacularly.

      It’s The Outer Worlds. It will.

      The first game was shit. The game it was confused with became the greatest game ever made. Go buy that one instead.

        No man’s sky is not anywhere near the greatest game ever made. Id honestly take outer wilds over either game being discussed. Outer wilds has a charm that’s impossible for a AAA studio to match, and it’s a solid gravity sandbox besides that.

        The NMS game loop is just trying to make number go up as efficiently as possible for nanites and credits. It’s not fun. It is and always has been a grind.

          This was peak satire given you genuinely thought that they were talking about NMS and then proceeded to talk about Outer Wilds, the true game that OP was referencing, by accident.

          Where does No man’s sky come from ? How could it be confused with The outer worlds ? People confuse it with outer wilds, both no man’s sky.

            Other commenter said NMS, I confused it with this one thinking they were talking about the same thing.

        What game was it confused with?

        NVM, I just realized it was No Man’s Sky. Though I seem to recall that the launch of that game was also a shit show. I’ve heard it got much better as time went on.

          No, they’re referring to The Outer Wilds. They’re absolutely right, The Outer Wilds was infinitely better than The Outer Worlds. Granted, they were doing different things but holy shit I wish I could replay Other Wilds for the first time again. One of the best experiences ever!

    Was there a big contingent of people waiting for a sequel? I recall the original game being massively hyped and actually being pretty disappointing once I played it.

      Agreed. $40? Id think about it and probably wait for a sale anyways. $80 is just laughable and completely removes any temptation i had to check it out.

    I don’t mean to sound mean or dismissive, but… I feel like I’m the only one who played the first Outer Worlds. It just feels like it’s one of those things that was supposed to be a thing, but wasn’t a thing.

    Don’t get it twisted, I’m not complaining that they’re making a sequel. I’m relieved and hope it does better, I just remember more people complaining about Outer Worlds than talking about it. So I’m hoping this second chance for the franchise really helps it get off the ground (Unless it was a big hit and I’m just badly misinformed about how well it did)

    But that 80 dollar price tag? Lemme tell you that’s not a consumer friendly choice, that’s Spacer’s Choice.

        Parvati was the only light in the darkness for me. I love her and her quest line, and hope there’s more good ace rep like her in other media.

        I stopped playing the game as soon as I finished her quest line because I was bored with everything else =\

      I also found it underwhelming which is a shame because I generally love Obsidian RPGs. They did a much better job with Avowed recently in my opinion.

      I played it in the hospital waiting for my wife to go into labor haha. I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason I remember it. I tried to replay it recently and made it about halfway through before moving on.

      I ain’t paying $80 for it and there’s no game pass on Linux. Guess I’m waiting for a sale. 🤷

      I was interested in Outer Worlds and No Man’s Sky around the same time and played OW first.

      I enjoyed it while I played it and completed the story of the main game.

      Then I played NMS and enjoyed that a lot too but when I went back to OW for the DLCs I got bored quickly.

      Outer Worlds just seemed less fun after No Man’s Sky.
