    even if wages increased with inflation and 80 dollar games weren’t so distressing, the first outer wilds fucking sucked and I have no hope for the sequel

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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. 🤷

      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.
