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.
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 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. 🤷
Don’t worry everyone, it’ll proabably be on gamepass on release. You should all get that /s
Ugh. I hate subscriptions, people parroting this “just get gamepass, it’s cheaper” is just silly. Once they got you hooked in- they’ll increase the prices for sure.
Like others said, it is mostly done to make gamepass more appealing vs the 80 bucko’s.
I say No to either and settle for i’ll wait for a nice good sale at some point in future time.
I personally am at a stage where I have a few games I rotate with sometimes something new(er) in between.
I got so much at this point that I am not interested in full-price titles due to “lack” of things to play, I tend to not often stick to 1 anymore as I used to.
Lol $100 games haha
Ya’ll remember when pirating was massive.
Yeah let’s do that again.
Yea, no thanks dawg. First game was boring AF, and on top of that, now you want 80 bucks?
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.
Pass.
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
Does the quality differ? I think it makes a great discussion and maybe a good analogue of current economic state of affairs
Edit. Nvm read quovadishomines post
I have paid roughly the same price for 3.5grams of cannabis since 1992. The quality has vastly improved but the price remains the same. That does not suggest that inflation is bullshit.

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.

I don’t know. It seems like they’re addressing the issues that the first one had. It was too safe and far too full of itself. It should have just been one big planet and a bit less goofy. Seems like the next one is shaping up for that. Also, if there is a game company that I trust right now it’s obsidian. I was super disappointed with the ending just being the same slides they used for new Vegas, hopefully we at least get a more satisfying ending.
And I will be skipping it.
Guess I’m waiting another two years after launch for this one too.
