The Outer World is the better Fallout and Starfield

[michelbeck1966]

Starfield is OK but not super good. There is a lack of attention to detail and variety. The journey to the planets is basically always the same. The facilities and buildings are always the same. The objects you find are always in the same place, no matter which system you are in. The difficulty balance for the Ki is total crap. If I'm in a level 75 system and my level is 85, then the difficulty of the enemies should be at the same level and the loot you find should be increasing to what you have. This is much better with The Outer World.

They gave away the spacers choice edition on epic for Xmas.

I'll probably give it another shot, but I wasn't huge on it when I tried it at launch.

That makes sense though, I always did prefer the map and gameplay of fallout 3, to the faction systems in nv

And outer worlds is the faction system condensed into one smaller RPG

I simply cannot play a game which all female has short hair and all their bodies were covered up completely.

Yeah that game is like proto-woke

It's not too bad, but some of that dialogue is super.... Gen Z?

to be honest i play bethesda games for the open world sandbox, the modding and i also mainly play them in 3rd person.

i never bought outer world simply because the game does not have a 3rd person mode.

better than starfield? sure. Fallout, no way

Sure, SF may be none too hot but OW is also a horrible game.

The colors in the game is just so 'loud', too colorful and too silly. I like the Rick rip off though.

The Outer Worlds is a very nice game on it's own and I like it for it's overall "space cowboys / space pioneers vibe". Sadly it is too small / too short. For me, that's where Starfield jumps in. I'm a sandbox cRPG player, A 150+h cRPG is nice and all (e.g. BG3), but for me after investing that much time in my character(s) and the gameworld this is the moment when the fun starts. "Normal" cRPGs tend to and around that mark (or earlier - like it is the case with TOW).

i love how no one ever compares initial launch. it's always the goty, master, ultimate edition that fleshed out all the issues

outer world initially had a level cap. a level cap that was not bumped up initially w/ dlc releases, and was easy to hit before you even finished the main storyline. the story wasn't nearly strong enough to level cap that low, so you ended up in a stagnant limbo where you were trudging through the story w/ no progression.

I would take Tetris over Out Worlds any day.

I've played through Outer Worlds twice and I barely remember what happens in it. I remember it was fun and that companions were excellent (Parvati is Chef kiss) but if you asked me to lay out the moral dilemma from start to end I couldn't do it.

EPIC gifted me that game for Christmas so I'll give it a try later. BG3, CP2077 Phantom Liberty, Dead space remake, NMS, I can't let play now cause by too many attractive games. I'm grateful to EPIC, so I buy games from time to time.

The Outer World.

yes, I personally played The Outer World and I can say that it has the quality that Starfield simply does not have.

The outer worlds is a hub based game with a very limited open world. This does usually make the game better because open worlds tend to be larger but shallower.

I will totally agree here.
