We clearly have very different expectations when it comes to new games, the things that impress you about this game don't impress me. So I don't think this conversation will bear any more fruit.What exactly are we talking about here? Writing, graphics, mechanics, story? Because I'm honestly lost.
The writing is solid. It balances serious moments with ridiculous ones really well. And there's no woke nonsense anywhere. I even went through the game's JSON translation files searching for certain words just to check and nothing came up.
The art design is beautiful. It's a gorgeous game and it's been a long time since I've taken this many screenshots in anything.
As I've said before, the mechanics are tried and true RPG systems. Interesting perks, weapon and armor mods, skill checks, traits, flaws and tons of fun build possibilities.
Can't fully judge the story yet since I haven't finished it but so far it's engaging enough that I can't wait for my next session which means it's doing its job perfectly.
Great RPG.
The original post was expressing worry about the gaming industry if OW2 flopped. My point is it doesn't offer enough to the consumer to convince them to buy it when OW1 and New Vegas can be picked up for pennies.
You can't just put out a sequel and expect it to sell. You can count the franchises that get away with this on one hand.
