From what I’ve heard of the plot of that game, this is kind of apropos.
And I will be skipping it.
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.
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 thanks. The first was not good enough to warrant buying the second at $60, let alone $80.
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.
Nah. I’m good.
Pass.
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.
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.
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. 🤷
Guess I’m waiting another two years after launch for this one too.
Charge $80 fine but no dlss crap , native ONLY , optimized ONLY , run like DOOM
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

oh so now its 80 where the prices are. at this rate it will be 200 within couple of years.
$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
