Is anyone making the OT ?

 

[adamsapple]

or you?

 

[Topher]

or you?

I did Keeper. Your turn

 

[Arsic]

the PSSR joke went over your head, and I'm already done with NG4 but I also didn't encounter any "4 fps" segments in the rails in chapter 11 or 12 that you said you were having, so it sounds like you might have been having local issues there

 

[nemiroff]

To be honest I couldn't really stand a lot about the first game. I just started playing, but I already sense that Obsidian had more fun making this one.

 

[Revolutionary]

Avowed was great

 

[GHG]

Give them a break, it's been a tough week.

 

[Jigsaah]

Well I'm definitely not buying it...

This is how they get me...just bought Ninja Gaiden 4...dat Gamepass on PC doe.

 

[adamsapple]

It is good tho, no lies detected there.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Peoples who didn't even try to play Avowed sure are 100% certain they made the right decision. Grifters told me it was bad, ha ha ha, I cannot form an opinion myself, I would be out of the herd and not be cool like peoples saying "AVOIDED"
OMG THAT IS SOO SMART AND FUNNY!

Anyone wanna throw some ideas for the OT title?

I'll give it a go as my first OT, see how that goes!

|OT| Outer Worlds 2: Early Access to Severance

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I think that was John Gonzalez.

Thank you for clarifying, what I meant to say is I don't think New Vegas team worked on the Outer Words - the writer is listed as Leonard Boyarsky. The guy worked on the original Fallout and Vampire Bloodlines, then somehow went from this to the abomination that was Diablo 3, so I don't really know wtf happened here.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

88% positive on Steam got me intrigued. It can't be that bad, right? I will give it a try. If I don't like it, I can always refund it.

ACG proven to be real G, at the end of his review he said full blank game didnt grab him and its at most worth playing on gamepass or wait for sale, in grades thats around 6/10 score since a buy would be at least 8/10.
Glad to see he didnt follow the money/didnt become yet another sellout professional reviewer

Is the real G because didn't liked the game? lol
All those that liked it are shills?

 

[Cyberpunkd]

900p Medium and FSR quality and they are getting sub-40FPS inside the building. What a rubbish engine.

I was expecting worse honestly.

Looks almost like Series S in portable format.

If this gets FSR4 level upscaling, it would be pretty good.

If you agree with my opinion you are a good reviewer, if you disagree you are bad one.

That's about how far it goes.

 

[winjer]

The OC also increased from 81 to 83 since review day.

So far, this seems to have been received fairly well both critically and from players.

GG Obsidian.

I suspect that the user score on Steam might be a bit inflated, considering these are people who are very hyped for this game. So there might be a positivity bias.
Let's see how it goes when the game releases for everyone else.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I was expecting worse honestly.

But why? Game is not a looker, there are no fancy particle effects.

 

[evanft]

Played the game for a bit. Nothing really grabbed me. Seemed like yet another mediocre Obsidian game.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

UE5 - Lumen + Nanite are pretty intensive.

There is no pop in that I can notice normally.

Not sure if this stuff gets disabled in lowest settings, Cronos had ultra low settings where they did that.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

As long as it doesn't have Parvati, whinging and whining like fuck, I may grab this in a sale.

He didnt like the game and informed us about this, tons of sellout reviewers give high scores to those shitty games yet they know deep down those games are pure shit, thats why we call them sellouts after all
U think overall metascore from reviewers, being fucking 83 is how the reviewers actually thought that game deserves? Or 62 for concord? Or 82 for veilguard...
There is tons more examples too, its not about sony, microsoft or w/e, those reviewers are simply not genuine.
Destruction allstars got 62, so bit above avg, and we all know very well that game was super shit, well below avg

Destruction AllStars critic reviews

Metacritic aggregates music, game, tv, and movie reviews from the leading critics. Only Metacritic.com uses METASCORES, which let you know at a glance how each item was reviewed.

www.metacritic.com

4 out of fucking 59 reviewers gave it below 50 meta, so what it deserved, thats 7%, total sellouts (11 reviews, 20%) gave it scores of 75 and above, nuff said

There are hundreds of examples this gen alone of how bad/inacurate/ not genuine majority of professional reviewers are.

Edit:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard critic reviews

Metacritic aggregates music, game, tv, and movie reviews from the leading critics. Only Metacritic.com uses METASCORES, which let you know at a glance how each item was reviewed.

www.metacritic.com

Last but not least example, veilguard got 75 or higher meta from 55 reviewers(thats 75% of all reviews), only 18 prof journos gave it mixed score(50-74) and 0 of reviewers gave it below 50 meta aka what it deserved.
And let me remind u, EA didnt even implemented denuvo into pc version coz upkeep is 25k usd/month and game was so bad no1 wanted to even pirate that shit and ofc EA knew it.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Played it. Not enough to form an opinion yet, but yeah, maxed out on PC with ray tracing on, it looks really impressive.

It looks decent.
I was never fond of this particularly art style and the NPCs look like plastic. I can live with that if the rest is good.

I also appreciate the story backgrounds you can choose for your character, especially the "I just stumbled into this and have no idea what's going on" background. Some funny dialogue with that so far.

Yes, the characters are still stiff, but the environments and lighting, especially indoors with all the machinery and metallic surfaces, look really nice.

I'm playing a gambler background with that lucky trait and I'm having a blast so far. I'm shocked to admit.

I just don't think this game's tone flies post acquisition. It went from the first game being "hell yea these guys get it" to "how do you do fellow economically disgruntled millennials."


Fuck off with that.

I'm having a pretty good time with it. I miss RPGs that give you choice not only in dialogue but also in how you approach situations. It's Starfield x Fallout (Fallfield? Starout?) without the terrible engine.

Visually it's pretty mid but that's not impacting my experience really.

| OT | Fallfield

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Looks like a cool build. Spoils entire character creator so skimmed the video. Could be useful if anyone wanna play this way.

No offense papi but I have never seen you saying anything good about a videogame

IMO graphics look really nice, better than i've expected.

OT going live soon folks, be gentle.

Idk, the IQ is great but I found the texture work to be really flat, a lack of particle effects and the colors/contrast in the outdoor areas feels….off. Like they wanted to go for a NMS look with big colors but only half committed to it - half is super colorful but the other half is drab and muted.

 

[Aressa]

Worth 85 bucks

I would play it for 85 bucks. Paid to me to play right?

Funny, i was going to mention that i love the textures on their suits and clothing but i have played it for an hour or so, so i may be wrong and the textures are really flat as you say.

Same. I'm stopping just to look around and admire, which is always a good sign.

I mean it's imposible to have the exact same team from almost 20 years ago.

But TOW2 is a game made by guys like Brandon Adler, Matthew Singh, Boyarsky which you already mentioned and even Tim Cain.

You can check what theyve worked on but...New Vegas, Alpha Protocol, original Fallout games...
