Yea, no thanks dawg. First game was boring AF, and on top of that, now you want 80 bucks?
Was there a big contingent of people waiting for a sequel? I recall the original game being massively hyped and actually being pretty disappointing once I played it.
Thought it said Outer Wilds 2 for a split second and got excited.
People are struggling to buy groceries.
CEO: Let's raise the price of a good people don't need because money.
I can only hope this move backfires spectacularly.
It's The Outer Worlds. It will.
The first game was shit. The game it was confused with became the greatest game ever made. Go buy that one instead.
No man's sky is not anywhere near the greatest game ever made. Id honestly take outer wilds over either game being discussed. Outer wilds has a charm that's impossible for a AAA studio to match, and it's a solid gravity sandbox besides that.
The NMS game loop is just trying to make number go up as efficiently as possible for nanites and credits. It's not fun. It is and always has been a grind.
This was peak satire given you genuinely thought that they were talking about NMS and then proceeded to talk about Outer Wilds, the true game that OP was referencing, by accident.
I'm pretty sure they meant Outer Wilds, which is one of my top games of all time.
Where does No man’s sky come from ? How could it be confused with The outer worlds ? People confuse it with outer wilds, both no man’s sky.
Other commenter said NMS, I confused it with this one thinking they were talking about the same thing.
~~What game was it confused with?~~
NVM, I just realized it was No Man's Sky. Though I seem to recall that the launch of that game was also a shit show. I've heard it got much better as time went on.
No, they're referring to The Outer Wilds. They're absolutely right, The Outer Wilds was infinitely better than The Outer Worlds. Granted, they were doing different things but holy shit I wish I could replay Other Wilds for the first time again. One of the best experiences ever!
From what I've heard of the plot of that game, this is kind of apropos.
And I will be skipping it.
No thanks. The first was not good enough to warrant buying the second at $60, let alone $80.
Agreed. $40? Id think about it and probably wait for a sale anyways. $80 is just laughable and completely removes any temptation i had to check it out.
Nah. I’m good.
I don't mean to sound mean or dismissive, but... I feel like I'm the only one who played the first Outer Worlds. It just feels like it's one of those things that was supposed to be a thing, but wasn't a thing.
Don't get it twisted, I'm not complaining that they're making a sequel. I'm relieved and hope it does better, I just remember more people complaining about Outer Worlds than talking about it. So I'm hoping this second chance for the franchise really helps it get off the ground (Unless it was a big hit and I'm just badly misinformed about how well it did)
But that 80 dollar price tag? Lemme tell you that's not a consumer friendly choice, that's Spacer's Choice.
Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo
Parvati was the only light in the darkness for me. I love her and her quest line, and hope there's more good ace rep like her in other media.
I stopped playing the game as soon as I finished her quest line because I was bored with everything else =\
I was interested in Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky around the same time and played OW first.
I enjoyed it while I played it and completed the story of the main game.
Then I played NMS and enjoyed that a lot too but when I went back to OW for the DLCs I got bored quickly.
Outer Worlds just seemed less fun after No Man's Sky.
I also found it underwhelming which is a shame because I generally love Obsidian RPGs. They did a much better job with Avowed recently in my opinion.
I played it in the hospital waiting for my wife to go into labor haha. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I remember it. I tried to replay it recently and made it about halfway through before moving on.
I ain't paying $80 for it and there's no game pass on Linux. Guess I'm waiting for a sale. 🤷
Pass.
Game Pass! 😜
Even if it were available on Linux, GamePass isn’t the value it once was.
Guess I'm waiting another two years after launch for this one too.
Two years after The Outer Worlds: “oh mods will make it better, I got it for free”
They didn’t.
I respect the same for the second game. But also free. And wasting SSD space.
This is to make Game Pass appear more valuable, nothing more.
Then I won't touch either. I am not giving Microsoft money.
I'll never understand why people just can't NOT buy a game they know is shit.
I didn't buy that either
$80 is twice the annual mountain biking pass at my local state park.
Not a chance.
that's the game that criticizes capitalism, right.....?
(rhetorical, don't reply to me)
It’s almost funny that the most recent trailer ends with the line “the game about capitalism, made by capitalism.”
That’s more sad than funny

Oof. I love Obsidian, I really do, but The Outer Worlds 1 wasn't at all the kind of game I was looking for. NPC's felt very cardboard-y, each and everyone you had to talk to was anchored to one place, the world didn't feel lived in or alive.
And then asking $80 for a sequel to that?
That's gonna be a no from me dawg.
That and the completely garbage inventory with no good filter and sort.
That first game felt like a demo with lot of polish but didn't feel like a precursor for an $80 game. And already cost me $30 for the first time of meh.
It was also short. For 80 dollars I would expect 120 hours in game like RDR2. That's the bar. If it's not that long, I think I finished the first one in 25, then I'll happily wait until it's lower

Wanna know how i know inflation, cost of living increases, supply chain bottle necks and price increases are all a bunch of fuckin bullshit? Im still paying the same price for an 8th or Oz of weed as I was paying 15-20 years ago in highschool. The last samurai of the lost world of privately owned businesses before corpo whores ruined the world is you friendly neighborhood drug dealers. Lol
