No thanks. The first was not good enough to warrant buying the second at $60, let alone $80.
Nah. I’m good.
Pass.
Guess I’m waiting another two years after launch for this one too.
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.
Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo
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. 🤷
Charge $80 fine but no dlss crap , native ONLY , optimized ONLY , run like DOOM
oh so now its 80 where the prices are. at this rate it will be 200 within couple of years.
Wanna know how i know inflation, cost of living increases, supply chain bottle necks and price increases are all a bunch of fuckin bullshit? Im still paying the same price for an 8th or Oz of weed as I was paying 15-20 years ago in highschool. The last samurai of the lost world of privately owned businesses before corpo whores ruined the world is you friendly neighborhood drug dealers. Lol
Does the quality differ? I think it makes a great discussion and maybe a good analogue of current economic state of affairs
Edit. Nvm read quovadishomines post
I have paid roughly the same price for 3.5grams of cannabis since 1992. The quality has vastly improved but the price remains the same. That does not suggest that inflation is bullshit.

Do you live somewhere where it’s still illegal or something? Because I used to pay like $40-60 for an eighth depending on how good it was before legalization and now I can pay like $6 for an eighth of mids or $15-20 for some good shit.
No I im in a place where it is legal. I paid $45-60 for high grade in the 1990s in NJ and that’s the same price it is now. The higher grade stuff just got consistently better.
Not sure why they didnt fix their comment but here is the comment that was meant as a reply to your comment but was mistakenly left as a reply to my top level comment. Its originally from @bathing_in_bismuth

$80 is twice the annual mountain biking pass at my local state park.
Not a chance.
This is to make Game Pass appear more valuable, nothing more.
Then I won’t touch either. I am not giving Microsoft money.
that’s the game that criticizes capitalism, right…?
(rhetorical, don’t reply to me)
It’s almost funny that the most recent trailer ends with the line “the game about capitalism, made by capitalism.”
You can’t stop me >:C
Oof. I love Obsidian, I really do, but The Outer Worlds 1 wasn’t at all the kind of game I was looking for. NPC’s felt very cardboard-y, each and everyone you had to talk to was anchored to one place, the world didn’t feel lived in or alive.
And then asking $80 for a sequel to that?
That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.That and the completely garbage inventory with no good filter and sort.
That first game felt like a demo with lot of polish but didn’t feel like a precursor for an $80 game. And already cost me $30 for the first time of meh.
It was also short. For 80 dollars I would expect 120 hours in game like RDR2. That’s the bar. If it’s not that long, I think I finished the first one in 25, then I’ll happily wait until it’s lower
RDR2 is such a slow-burn masterpiece that I’m still enjoying that game years after it released. The game is longer than 120 hours given how it implies you take your time and enjoy the views, the immersion and the story.
RDR2 was deliberately designed to be a high inertia experience that takes its sweet-ass time to start off and difficult to slow down when its going.
RDR2 is so great the NYT film reviewer mentioned as one of the best stories that year.
Same. I was willing to keep Outer Worlds 2 on my radar because I love Obsidian and they’ve earned my attention even though I didn’t particularly enjoy Outer Worlds 1, but at that price point the game has dropped off my radar. Unless it’s getting New Vegas level praise post launch I probably won’t be paying any more attention to this game.
I loved The Outer Worlds, it was just my kind of game, but after having watched the new trailer for The Outer Worlds 2, I am worried, the story seems unfocused and messy and some of the weapons seems to just be a big generic blob design.
This being said, I will do what I normally do, wait until release and watch as my favourite youtube gamer shows it on his channel, after one or two episodes I’ll buy it and stop watching if it is good.
Don’t worry everyone, it’ll proabably be on gamepass on release. You should all get that /s
That’s funny, it’s my first confirmed “wait until it’s on sale” game
Same here, though I heard middling reviews for the first game, so I probably won’t play it regardless. Not that I’d pay $80 for a videogame anyways, lol. Even if it was HL3.
