You're kidding. FO4's gunplay? I mean I dumped hundreds of hours into that game like everyone else, but the gunplay wasn't anything much different than what we had always gotten from Bethesda.

TOW doesn't look any better or worse.

It was never meant to be FO4 in space. It's not the same scope, size or depth. It's a small team working on it compared to the bethesda team. It's being hyped up for some reason even though the devs themselves put things straight when it was announced.

You got to be kidding if you think FO4's non-vats gunplay "wasn't anything much different" from FO3/FONV's... Laughing

They had a good run. Now they begin the slow, glitz and glamour filled slide down to mediocrity, just like Biowere. All it takes is one sellout (in this case Fergus) to bring it all crumbling down. There's a chance this will be decent, but even if it is, I can almost guarantee it'll be last decent thing they put out.

I expect, if this game sells well and I think it will, that the sequel will try and reach the Fallout New Vegas II level of world seamless world building.

I like the "Knight of the Old Republic" comparison the developers have made as it puts the scale really in focus.

Also Obsidian has made two of the better RPG's I've played in the last decade so I'm not particularly worried about TOW. Also Alpha Protocol was criminally underrated.

Though the Obsidian team is pretty different these days from my understanding thanks in part to executive meddling although Chris and a few other more vocal former employees might have been pushing that angle a bit further in how they report it but it does seem something was going on although far as the sale and such goes they probably needed money as the Pillars games were probably not selling as expected even if they had their fans and before that various lost pitches to publishers and the way they tend to be in various development messes from their own and publisher problems.
(From how it sounded like around the Pillars of Eternity 1 Kickstarter they had a few issues such as how QA was handled but they've also had actual problems with publishers too and tight deadlines and such.)

Will be interesting to see how this turns out, it looks promising at least but it's going to be made clear once it's actually released though I'm hoping they can still pull off a nice RPG even if the scope might not be some large AAA type affair but it's also nice when not everything goes Ubi-Template open world of course. Smile

Though to be fair that particular angle has been overused for a while now on how the player tries to go and See every little POI or scripted encounter on a massive map for minor rewards or collectibles but there are exceptions and cases where it works better too.
(Or how to call it, 40-second rule or some such where "Awesome!" happens about once every half minute to minute to engage and interest or intrigue players although from hearing it that almost sounds ridiculous but it's a thing used in for example Witcher 3)

Damn this thread was far in the back.

Are there any early reviews yet?

I really need this to not be bad.

Sad to say but it seems pretty underwhelming.

Certainly hope the writing and CC can match Disco Elysium baby

Very much doubt that given how text heavy DE is and how OW has turned out.



1 and 2 are still amazing.

If works on Win7, then works on 8 also. GTX650Ti can have 1Gb versions, so that probably.

Well those games are good games really, but the sad thing is those are the best you can list.

The best games for me this year was pixel/old school games only:

Amid Evil
Sea Salt
Blasphemous

and Subnautica because it was a backlog game I've finished it in feb.

Sad wasn't an outstanding year for me either.

Not to mention Disco Elysium only just came out, nobody knew if it was going to be good

Which also goes for The Outer Worlds - maybe it'll suck.

And Red Dead Redemption 2 is overrated, gorgeous, but overrated. Not to mention a port released over a year after the original release.

Control was great tho.

Apart from Disco Elysium not a single PC exclusive title on that list either.

But Disco Elysium is out, and it's pretty... amazing. Asgard's Wrath is also reviewing great on PC.

If you haven't had a great time gaming on your PC this year then that's a you problem. Also moving the goalpost to "games you can ONLY play on the PC" is stupid: there are a non-significant number of people who only game on PC (or maybe PC and Switch). I have bought more PC games this year than console and I didn't think I would ever say that.

As for The Outer Worlds, looks exactly like I expected: open-planet Fallout: New Vegas. While I loved the heck out of PoE and Tyranny, I have been waiting for a return to FPS-RPG and this looks like it. Really not understanding the hand-wringing about the writing. If anything this is what Obsidian is known for (hell even Alpha Protocol had decent writing).

Well combat is pretty bad from what we've seen where it feels like there's no impact and everything is floaty. But we'll see once it's out.
