For all its faults, it's still better than Starfield

the bar has been lost and thought to be somewhere down in the molten core of the earth

The Outer Worlds is super LIB . No, shutting down the space tuna cannery that's literally causing its workers to get sick and die isn't necessarily good, the answer is somewhere in the middle.

You can't just get rid of the megacorporations, because the guy who leads the faction who wants that is kind of weird, I guess? You need to work with the good megacorporation led by the Musk/Gates type philantropist for a compromise to get the good ending.

i stopped playing the game when the very first big "decision point" was just a lesser version of the helios one plot in new vegas, but instead of having five options (one of which being to use the power plant to power a giant orbital laser gun that you can later find the detonator for) you just get two "equally bad" options where the game wags its finger at you no matter which option you choose. what a lame ass fucking game

Same. Was super disappointing for me

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

it was incredibly disappointing. It is the most heavy handed caricature I've ever seen right up to the point where you would take action and then it just shrugs and refuses to make any statements at all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

The heavy handedness is like a shield for any real critique. Like it is a barrage of "wouldn't this be messed up?" with no sense of the society this would create beyond these individual fucked up corporate acts. I was shocked that I got more out of fallout 4 than it. I think why is because as lib or limited as fallout can be, you get to actually see a society, even just in its ruins. You get to hear about how government and corporations interact, how institutions degrade or are strengthened to oppress more effectively, how average people just sorta accepted these extreme violations of their humanity through cheap goods and advancements in luxuries. It does not just have a mega corp operate on its own doing bad super capitalism as a monad, no when Nuka-Cola is doing evil it is subsidized by the US military to help with weapons research and in turn has part of its themepark just be a recruitment ad. You get this interplay, like quantum being started by a Nuka-Cola scientist as a horrific weapon, that Nuka-Cola could also use by making a barely non-lethal drink out of.

Outer Worlds felt like it was always a series of onion headlines and nothing more.

It'd probably be cheaper for them to give away Fallout New Vegas and Thief 2 (maybe sub Dishonored here idk) since those are better games lol

I beat this but cannot remember a single thing about it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

damn wasn't it supposed to be the spiritual successor to new vegas

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's like New Vegas except extremely bland and with absolutely no intended message about any form of political beliefs. Just exists in the same default liberal mush that is every other not-explicitly-leftist-or-fash media.

I already beat it and the DLC doesn't look worth the disk space since it's just pallete-swapped enemies and no new weapons

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

It's also free literally every single week on rarbg clones.
