Thought it said Outer Wilds 2 for a split second and got excited.
From what I've heard of the plot of that game, this is kind of apropos.
And I will be skipping it.
It literally took 30 years for the most expensive games to go up by $10.
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.
This is to make Game Pass appear more valuable, nothing more.

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.
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

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.
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.
Similar. Although I happily leave it at my wishlist and buy it once it's diacounted like $15... I still have way more games to play than I can manage.

Don't worry everyone, it'll proabably be on gamepass on release. You should all get that /s
Ugh. I hate subscriptions, people parroting this "just get gamepass, it's cheaper" is just silly. Once they got you hooked in- they'll increase the prices for sure.
Like others said, it is mostly done to make gamepass more appealing vs the 80 bucko's.
I say No to either and settle for i'll wait for a nice good sale at some point in future time.
I personally am at a stage where I have a few games I rotate with sometimes something new(er) in between.
I got so much at this point that I am not interested in full-price titles due to "lack" of things to play, I tend to not often stick to 1 anymore as I used to.
$80 is twice the annual mountain biking pass at my local state park.
Not a chance.
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.
Audacious, if nothing else.
