Fallout 4 even with a worse lore than NV and 3 is still infinitely more fun than Outer Worlds. Modded Fallout 4 gave me over 1,000 hours where as Outer World wasn't even interesting enough to get into, same for Part 2.
Mods can turn any Elder Scroll or Fallout game into a beyond 10/10 game and the only games in existence that has the power to do so. There still hasn't been a new game that's more fun than a decently modded Fallout 4 since 2015. Only a decently modded Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, or Fallout New Vegas could rival or beat it.

It's a really good game if you view it from a AA lens, which it 100% is. Fallout 4 probably has 5 times TOW's budget. It is certainly punching above it's weight, but the combat in TOW gets really old and repetitive the more you play. I'm excited for TOW2 because so much can be improved upon, especially with a bigger a budget

Nah, 4 is way better.

What if I like both. F4 is not as good as 3 mostly because it didn't know what to do with the story at the end, but still an awesome game to get lost in its world. Outer Worlds is less about exploration but works as a humorous action game that has some RPG elements in it. Avowed is better than it though.

I didn't care for F4 overall, but no. Story was not better, or the dlc stories. Battle system...maybe. Didn't have any depth to it or the characters.

I should give OW another try. I bailed pretty early to play other games at the time.
Its on pc gamepass so Ill reinstall and play it alongside Avowed back and forth.
Fallout 4 got really repetitive around the 60 hour mark. But 60 hours is still a lot of good content.

honestly it's comically worse, and fallout 4 isn't even a good game. the outer worlds is shallow, disgraceful muck.
it is bizarre that obsidian's destiny was to make one game so good that it would torpedo bethesda's reputation, only to never produce anything close to as good again, to the point where now the lack of interactivity of their own latest game has people reminiscing about oblivion in youtube videos

I never played Outer Worlds but you are correct. Everything‘s better than FO4.

Definitely enjoyed Outer Worlds more which at the times just felt a little less system heavy than Fallout.

Bullshit.
Pre-release TOW was the Fallout 4 killer and everyone loved shit talking F4. Post honeymoon phase people realized how much better Fallout 4 actually was and OTW was considered inferior. In fact, the last decade of propping up Obsidian and shitting on Bethesda just got exposed by Avoweds release, which proves this poor indie developer isn't even in the same league as Bethesda.
And just to rub the salt in, Fallout 4 was released a decade ago and had as many peak players today, 10 years later, than OTW has ever had. The days of pretending Obsidian is the superior developer are over, they've been exposed like Biden post debate.

Fallout 4 was a disappointment but outer worlds was a bigger one.
The first planet was okay, after that it feels like there's no galaxy of any substance to explore... shallow and stretched very thin
I would agree on the less buggy part. Not a better story in terms of events that transpire or interesting characters but maybe you could say better writing?

Same, I really hope they don't go the same route with the second one or it's an easy skip for me.

Because it feels like a game map, not a world. And shallow would be a mile wide, inch deep. TOW was an inch wide, inch deep.

I prefer Fallout 4 by a large margin.
I think its much closer to Avowed in terms of flow of gameplay. Scavenging stuff, upgrade weapons, keep doing quests.
It took me two attempts to get into it, simply cause how different it is to Fallout 3. But its great once I got it.
Focus on weapons and loot instead of story or even exploration.

Outer Worlds built a really cool world, and had decent humor, but became more and more barebones as you went through the game. Byzantium was so small in scale and lacked exploration in places where there should have been more. It felt like they maybe ran out of time or resources for what they wanted to do and just had to stick with what they had. Fallout 4 did not capture me in the way Fallout 3 did, but it was still a much more fleshed out world and story than Outer Worlds. The replayability of FO4 is also way higher. I had absolutely no desire to play through again with Outer Worlds.

Ew no. Fallout 4 is a much better game with a lot more depth.
Outer Worlds felt WAY too small for a game of this genre. I was really surprised when I finished it, I don't remember how long it took me, but probably 25 hours or something while doing side stuff too, it felt like the story was only 5 hours long or so. There were not a lot of places to visit, the maps weren't that interesting, and the characters were moslty bad (and so ugly lol).
There was something that felt unfinished, really lacking, in Outer Worlds. It wasn't terrible to play through, but it just felt like a minor, forgettable game, really not on the same level as Fallout 4, at all, which I got almost 300 hours out of.

I didn't really like either, but I don't find them all that comparable. Outer Worlds is a zone based Biowareish RPG, Fallout is in the open, Bethesda style.

I like both but they are different in size and scope really, what i liked about TOW was they brought the old dialogue back that was missing from Fallout 4, but Fallout 4's game world is far better and bigger and once you add some mods, The Outer Worlds can't compete really, but i liked the game for what it was.

I’ve hardly played The Outer Worlds but Fallout 4’s first half or so was really good for me and then around the halfway point the game started to fall off a cliff and became tedious. So in the end Fallout 4 is around a 5/10.
And that Far Harbour DLC is very overrated. It’s hardly better than the base game. Just better or more traditional choice and consequence gameplay but everything else is pretty much the same as the base game.

Outer worlds was boring until I realised you could play as a psychopath and massacre everyone.
Left empty towns in my wake after that..
It was like the doom slayer was in town

The peak of fallout 4 was literally at the beginning of the game where you interact with your baby and husband/wife. Watching the bomb drop as you go into the shelter was well done and i enjoyed the game up until that point a ton. But the game lost me the more i played it, and the more i played it i just saw how shallow it really was.
First off the romance in the game was shit pure shit and they didn't even bother to make it realistic or make sense in the slighest. Then you got your companions themselves who i found shallow and uninteresting outside of piper, codsworth, and nick valentine. I can't even remember the other companions because they left 0 impression on me and feel dead as characters because the writing gives them little to work with.
But the biggest ball buster was the fact that the entire game is supposed to be about finding your son and yet i really didn't give a shit about finding him. We only interact with him in the beginning of the game for a brief few minutes and it's just not nearly enough story wise for us to care about this kid. Then when we do meet him he's just an asshole that's kidnapping people from above apparently and effectively killing them i think, idk because the story is incoherent nonsense and the institute that he's apart of makes absolutely 0 sense. The game simply sucks story wise and the gameplay felt like something from a ps2 era level of shooter.
