Look at this fricking piece of shit

@Soren why did you downmarsey me and then remove the downmarsey again? I noticed. Now explain you are self.

!soren

Why would IGN give an absolutely incredible game a measly 7 and call it "competent"?

I'll probably buy it on sale and then act like a total chud in the game. If theres any HR speak, I'll just kill that character.

Really?

I probably play it eventually. Everything i have seen from it seem uninspiring.

Patrick Mahomes.

it's really unsettling like a swamp creature from my childhood nightmares

That's probably the character editor

That'll just be someone making the ugliest character possible in the creator. I bet you could do similar in baldurs gate 3

I was gonna say this one slaps

Do you really think even 1/4 of the team who made NV still works there?

Nah, Obsidian had a lot of great games. Kotor 2, NN2, Alpha Protocol, South Park, even Tyranny was solid and I would have liked to see a sequel that improved upon it.

But it's clear that the studio now is just Obsidian in name only.

Obsidian used to make good games. Chris Avellone carried the whole studio though and without him and the other writers that left they're a husk.

Knights of the Old Republic 2 was also a great game but they got to basically copy the original. That is where Obsidian was at it's best give them a good game to make a sequel for and let them just upgrade the gameplay a little while making a better story.

Obsidian made a bunch of great games. They're all buggy as heck, but they used to be able to tell a story. I'm still interested in this, a lot of the stuff in those screenshots doesn't look too far removed from some of the character designs in the first two games. I'm more interested to see the writing, if Outer Worlds was an anomaly or the new normal for them.

It's a true return to form for Obsidian!

I don't even think it's chuds. That's just genuinely ugly, it's not DEI shit. it's just ugly lol, maybe if someone makes a de-ugly mod or smth.

Yes, yes, HOWEVER...we owned da chudz so it's a critical and financial success

Can you at least hire a slave team of bugpeople to manufacture and sell shoddy prosthetic arms, while simultaneusly running an underground dinosaur/villager fighting club to create market niche for yourself or are we stuck playing Kenshi for the rest of our lives?

Is this another woke game? It just looks uninspired but I haven't seen anything like the bear s*x or veilguard .

It's Obsidian, of course it's broken as shit. Have they ever released a game that wasn't a complete mess on the technical side?

on gawd

I don't think there's been much evolution in gaming since 2013.

But yeah this looks slow and dated.

Its the genre difference I think. To me, combat looks fine, almost fun, but only because it has the classic everquest feel to it, so it might just be nostalgia

I like some of the concept art

Looks extremely by-the-numbers. It doesn't try to have interesting movement, or powers, or combo mechanic, nothing to differentiate itself.

From what I have seen it does look pretty bad. Really floaty and low impact melee combat with health sponge enemies that take twenty swings each to kill. The magic gameplay looks better I guess but only relatively so.

Honestly I thought it made Veilguard's combat look good in comparison lol.

BG3 uses dice.

The better the combat looks, the more likely it's one of all of the following:

• assasin creed-like 'push button to do [COOL THING]'

• zero difficulty

• zero depth

• makes you fall asleep

The games that have good combat like archeage or wow look like a clown fiesta on a video, but are actually great when played
