One of the best games of the last decade (with one of the more disappointing sequels of this decade) got its sequel half-announced yesterday, with the publisher stating it will be a "multiplayer-focused live-service game." Holy yikes, for a game that had an expansion-turned-offshoot that sucked in part due to it removing the sense of being alone exploring an alien world, this is awful news, right? Twitter and the game's subreddit agree, because that's the correct take.
A lot of g*mer seethe here, but by and large can be summed up by this pic
Subreddit wasn't have much fun either. I think they deleted a lot of the posts after the devs Corrected the Record™️, so a little hard to find threads but there's still a few up. There is a little coping, too, but it seems most people are unsurprised that the devs continue to misunderstand why their game was good in the first place.
Shout out to this based chad setting coping subnutters right.
Developer: We're making our next game use a shitty model that prioritizes money over fun and engaging content.
Sane people: We're not going to buy your game
Other people: Come on guys, just because every other GAAS game is terrible doesn't mean that this one will be.
Major "communism will work THIS time" vibes.
Finally, the devs speak out and clarify that nooo child, the game will not have a battlepass, it will simply have updates over time :^). They even go as far as to comment and lock threads that were pooping on the publisher statement.
Correct take from random dude (option 1 is probably most correct, with a bit of option 2).
No one has ever used that definition of GaaS until now. GaaS as a term comes from SaaS, which is built entirely around recurring revenue and subscriptions. Why would they use that to represent just doing typical patches and updates if there weren't ideas for recurring revenue? There are three possibilities in my mind:
1 The investor relations team used GaaS because it's popular right now and makes investors happy, but they aren't actually implementing any GaaS aspects
2 The playerbase is being duped
3 They were planning to go GaaS and aren't now because we all freaked out
Sadly, it seems most people take this to assume everything is copacetic and in fact we should all pretend Below Zero wasn't one of the most bland games of 2021, as seen in the [quote tweets of the IGN correction post.] (https://x.com/IGN/status/1755674941830152302/retweets/with_comments)
Not really that dramatic after the fact, but I guess it's nice the game got announced, sort of.

If you like Myst you'd love Myst with worse puzzles where to get anywhere you have to fight a shitty 3D movement system that exists solely to pad out the runtime with busywork because otherwise the game would be 5 minutes long

I stopped playing the game at first and only picked it up months later because the spaceflight physics were too hard. once u get the hang of it it makes sense and is even realistic u just have to keep an eye on your speed basically. Theres also some challenges likeflying to the Sun Station which aren't required but take advantage of the physics
plus on each planet the gravity value is different so when traveling on foot u can really zip around.

Bro no chance. The Outer Worlds is pure Fallout NV style (the soy Reddit parts) Reddit cheesiness. The whole reason it was hyped up was because it was made by Obsidian the makers of Fallout NV. I even love Fallout New Vegas but it's like the ultimate
game lol. I mean I'm not even gonna lie it was a decent game but not that unique. !nooticers
Outer Wilds was a one of a time experience that really can only be done one time. @PeepeeButtKiss even gave up on the game at first because the space flying physics was hard too realistic.

The interesting thing is any sequence of the game can be discovered by anyone it's all a matter of how curious you are basically and the more you find out the quicker you get too the end.
Of course this moron will try and tell me about how the game he mistakenly referred to an hour ago is actually the thing he was talking about the whole time but that's only because he's such an r-slur I don't even call him out on mistakes, I just ignore them until the special boy forgets

Yes, the game is boring

the fake ventriloquouset comedian? @PeepeeButtKiss thought that guy sucked when @PeepeeButtKiss was 12 when he first got big like back when @PeepeeButtKiss was in middle school lol.
@PeepeeButtKiss met him once and @PeepeeButtKiss told him too "be quiet or @PeepeeButtKiss would murder you" @PeepeeButtKiss think he used that in his stand up tho.
One time he smuggled @PeepeeButtKiss through airport security and @PeepeeButtKiss got through because @PeepeeButtKiss told them "AYYYY @PeepeeButtKiss IS LINDSEY LOHAN!!!"""
One time @PeepeeButtKiss got into an argument with @PeepeeButtKiss's Uber driver and we went back and forth like this;
“Jeff: The drive from the valley?
Peanut: Was bad as heck!
Jeff: Traffic?
Peanut: Sucked like heck!
Jeff: Drivers?
Peanut: Angry as heck!
Jeff: And you?
Peanut: Were scared as heck!
Jeff: Parking?
Peanut: Sucked more like heck!
Jeff: So?
Peanut: We're in heck! ”

Its true. Vegas has a reputation it doesnt deserve, fallout games are mid in general and age very poorly
If you were trying them for the first time, id recommend worlds over any of the fallouts or elder scrolls

ok so what? Those games are a different genre. @PeepeeButtKiss agree with you're ranking even tho @PeepeeButtKiss put Vegas above Worlds.
But the game @PeepeeButtKiss was talking about is Outer Wilds, completely different game altogether.

@PeepeeButtKiss do like New Vegas and Outer Wolds a little but Worlds is basic as shit compared too Vegas. Both made by the same company but funded very differently
