Outer Worlds - Massive Disappointment

HAH.

I played about 8 hours of it and stopped. It was like everything that was on NMA and Codex was put in a blender and picked out by interns.




And thank you.

Of course it does. I am fully aware of that. I am also fully aware of how little ideas there are and how dialogue is constructed in writing rooms. Why in the hell would Obsidian at all go in this direction unless they watched Equilibrium and just got lucky. Perhaps I am manic. It doesn't matter. It's a funny characture of things of this board and how it has evolved and I have evolved in the 13 years I've been here contributing my shitposting in-between moments of clarity.

As a matter of fact, it's about time something spawned out of this place that was assigned as the destination for all of the artistic types of people who play these types of games as an extension to something else outside of role-playing mechanics like the neckbeard-incel-ocalypse that is the codex. I can certainly say there isn't anywhere on Obsidian or Bethesda forums at all regarding the progression of these jokers that we've been stalking as they make games since forever.
 
Personally I thought that Vicar Max was a take-off of The Shepard from Firefly since the cast seems to line up pretty well generally, but you do you.
 
Yeah I can definitely see a Firefly rip-off.

Believe it or not I haven't seen a full episode or the film so I do not know the character. It seemed like a rip off of something else, which is probably ripped off of something else, and on and on and on.

Aren't I so lame?

However, my experience of the game was a characture of my characture guided by Rick from Rick and Morty or Doc from Back to the Future whatever everything is a rip off of everything else.

Try watching it again and taking notes. After that, context clues.
 
For some reason the unwarranted optimistic thought entered my head that this might be one of those DLCs that absorbs feedback and becomes better than the actual base game. This dream of a tight, well-written DLC with interesting choices entered the brain.

No idea what spurred that since absolutely nothing should give me that idea based on the current track record. But still. Worth idly dreaming.
 
If people did not like the base game I doubt a DLC will change their mind. I have to say I expected more from the writers but why should I when they have lost the good ones? Gonzales and his writing at the very least was what made Fallout New Vegas good in part. Unless I am old and out of touch (getting there) I think he is no longer at Obsidian and partly why they now suck.

I'm just saying that the Fallout New Vegas DLC and Blood And Wine showed what the plot was about instantly.

Ditto Borderlands 2.

They're the high watermarks for DLC.

"CAPTAIN SCARLET AND HER PIRATE'S BOOTY!"
 
It's a very standard tropey DLC, similar to Dead Money.

However it's a whole Asteroid, so I guess it's one more level or "world".

Using my brain power I can suspect a new faction at the least, the same plot as the original game, and side-quests with the same flavor as what was shown in the trailer.

Who knows though? Maybe Abby will make a crossover from TLOU2 and be a sidekick.

He left Obsidian after Fallout New Vegas I think. After that he worked on Horizon Zero Dawn.
I did not care much for that game's story.

As for this DLC. I kind of get Borderlands DLC vibes from it or is that now common with most DLC?
I can't really say that it sounds that interesting. It might be more tighter written than the main game but that is not much of an achievement as that game basically started with an idea for a plot and never really expanded on it.
 
So anyone else agree the Outer Worlds is the sequel to the Mr. House ending?

House believed that corporate rule is the best way to progress in society and the end result is we achieve colonization of space. It's just the problem is that we don't always have a ubermensch Andrew Ryan figure to serve as enlightened dictator.
 
I think i've been eating ice cream so long I don't give a fuck what order the flavors are put in my mouth anymore.
