Ya'll remember when pirating was massive.

Yeah let's do that again.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 5 points 8 hours ago

I'll wait a year or two.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 hours ago

Lol $100 games haha

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

Did microsoft really already forget about Doom The Dark Ages?

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Time to join patient gamers who wait for a sale

[–] forgotaboutlaye@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

You can probably wait for this one to be free, or at least bundled.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Best of luck with that. I got the first game for free and still haven't played it. I say that as a fan of obsidian/old Bethesda i.e. the person you should be trying to get buy your game.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

It's kinda mid, id suggest Tainted Grail if ya want a Bethesda like game. Doesn't quite scratch the itch but it's close enough.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Better than Starfield as a sci-fi RPG. Had some pretty boring balance choices imo. Dialogue was decent but I didn't really love anything.

Yeah, I don't like it, but mid is fair... And I'll buy #2 anyways if the reviews hold up.

People are free to complain about the price point but it's pretty absurd to think gaming is somehow immune to inflation.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 6 hours ago

I'm now replacing this game with Clockwork Revolution to keep an eye on since it's the producer of the first 2 fallout games.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

I've seen some previews, looks cool!

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You should definitely play it, it's a cool game.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I was probably a bit uncharitable. TBF it is on my backlog of games I intend to play. It's just not a game I would want to pay $80 USD for based on what I've seen review wise.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah the first is absolutely a "get it on sale" game

[–] C1pher@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Yea, no thanks dawg. First game was boring AF, and on top of that, now you want 80 bucks?

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 17 hours ago (8 children)

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 thanks. The first was not good enough to warrant buying the second at $60, let alone $80.

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 3 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 14 hours ago

Thought it said Outer Wilds 2 for a split second and got excited.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

[–] clarinet_estimator@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago

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 =\

From what I've heard of the plot of that game, this is kind of apropos.

[–] Sauciness6413@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

Nah. I’m good.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago

And I will be skipping it.

Even if it were available on Linux, GamePass isn’t the value it once was.

[–] Nexz@feddit.nl 2 points 7 hours ago

It’s indeed worse. I cancelled at least half a year ago. Standard practice these days, lure consumers with great value for money and then make it worse by the day - line goes up!

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Guess I'm waiting another two years after launch for this one too.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago

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.
