In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

The Outer Worlds review: "Obsidian operating at the top of its game"

The Outer Worlds marks a strong foundation for a new franchise that seems destined for greatness

www.gamesradar.com

Even though The Outer Worlds has been referred to as a spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas, don’t expect it to feature a full open world on the same scale. Instead, Obsidian has stated in an interview with RPGSite it will be made up of a series of large, explorable zones across the solar system, similar to something we experienced in the Borderlands games.

“We wanted to provide a focused single-player story experience while leaving options open to explore the different environments”, explained Senior Narrative Designer Megan Starks. “Once you get your ship, you'll have a lot of options to explore specific locations, with more opening up as you finish quests or purchase new passes in-game.”

Indications are the game is 25-40 hours which is a decent sized game, maybe not the hundreds of hours some people pour into Fallout 3/Vegas or Skyrim but about Borderlands 3 size sounds good. Visuals, skill trees, etc all look good.

It releases in exactly one week, the same day unfortunately as Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Seems like a weird decision.

Its one of the titles I am most looking forward to and am very happy that it is included in Game Pass, even though that seems like it would cripple its actual financial viability depending on what M$ pays them per install.

I went to their PAX panel this past spring and was very encouraged by what I saw and how free the world was in letting you choose your own path.

MS bought Obsidian and I suspect that a big part of the reason they are giving it away on Game Pass is to undermine the deal that was already made with Epic prior to the acquisition.

Downside to it being on Game Pass is that modding--or even just doing minor tweaks to--games with MS DRM is nigh impossible.

yeah, even locating where the game is on your computer is an exercise in futility with game pass. it's kind of silly

You know what? Obsidian should go ahead and make their own Fallout type game, I mean look at Wasteland.

Wombat · Oct 17, 2019

Honestly, I am happier this is shorter than F3 / F:NV / Skyrim have been.

I'd like to at least look at Jedi Fallen Order & Red Dead PC as well before Cyberpunk steals all our time.

I'm between playing this or Death Stranding.

25-40 hours of gameplay? that's a let down, as with most games this year.

Utnayan · Oct 18, 2019

I am glad it isn't 100+ hours. There is this little thing called game fatigue, and after I beat the main story (with some side questing and exploration) I am ready to move onto something else. Some games are too long. Persona 5 - 50 hours in and maybe half done.... I just gave up. I'll revisit one of these days. Fallout 4 - 40 hours and I was cashed. Skyrim, forgot. But let's face it. We are old as fuck now. With families. We also want variety in our gaming time when we get it. That doesn't mean we can't plunk down in a world forever since most of us are MMORPG vets, but it does mean we start looking at our backlog as a job and we want to get to it to make it worth our money.

Either way, this game is going to kick ass and be buggier than shit at the same time and will be glorious.

Yeah, trying to tie my Razer profiles to executables was basically impossible. So fucking dumb.

Persona 5 is one of the few I've finished in the past 5 years with a 100 hour+ game length. That was mostly because P5 is one of the most chill games to play ever with just the perfect kind of pacing to play each day after work with a few beers for a while.

I need to pick that back up. I played maybe 15 hours in and haven't played since.

The first 15 hours basically being a tutorial suck dick. I clocked the end of my playthrough at like 125 hours.

wait, Persona 5 Royal is coming out in 2020 and it is Persona 5 with 30% more stuff and 30% deeper or some shit, I don't really understand but its a completely new game built on top of Persona 5 but saves and stuff don't carry over

i really enjoyed P5 as well, 120 hours, but i'm kinda pissed they release a new "version" basically. i'm not gonna play a 120 hour game again that I liked, but not enough to replay

Rombo · Oct 18, 2019

Am also on the side of, give me a 15-20 hours game packed with awsome action and adventure, rather than 100+ hours of open world with retarded fetch quest.

Sadly the trend is on the latter.

Valderen · Oct 22, 2019

So embargo lifted and reviews are in, 86 on metacritic so far.

It seems that is has great writing, above average combat(or adequate), lots of options on how to approach quests, and surprisingly...it's stable and bug free.

So basically it seems it's what we expected it to be.

Looking forward to it.
