Fo4 vs outer worlds

[Rodrigo]

i've never played a fo game before so.....

[Rialm]

I've never played outer world, I know that it was made by Obsidian.
Fallout is about exploration, there is a bit of RPG. Fallout New Vegas is the one with more RPG, made also by Obsidian.
One thing that Bethesda does very well is to make the world alive with so many details and interesting things to find.
The other unique thing about this game is that you can build.
The best thing about Fallout is the universe, you play as a lone wanderer. The humor is a bit unique.

If you end up buying this game I recommend to get also Far Harbor, because that DLC the story and characters are way more interesting than Fallout.

Comparing apples to oranges. OW is ok, but has absolutely nothing compared to the details and free roaming you get in Fallout games.

If you want to play both, I'd strongly recommend playing OW first.

well OW is overpriced but on a sale none the less, and why would you recommend that?

Outer Worlds is absolute drudgery, the Obsidian brand that made the likes of New Vegas is dead and buried. Game has little content, is ultra repetitive and even the regions are empty outside the odd monster to shoot at. DLCs, have not bought them, but from reviews, look exactly the same, merely extending what little there was.

Fallout 4 is just as mediocre a game, story is utter nonsense, on rails and has little effort put into it, graphics are dated (when you consider this was out same year Witcher 3 did and then look at both), 70% of DLCs are a bit of a laugh made as filler for the season pass (their reviews mirror the sentiment), but then you step on the nexus and have 40.000 mods to change/improve anything you please, all the way down to striping the entire base game and turning it into apost-apoc survival title a la Stalker.

Between an (even on sale) overpriced outer worlds and 30 bucks for this, might as well take the latter.

For all the faults I find with Fallout 4 (still a number of bugs, bland to dumb main story, terrible dialog options (get a mod that "fixes this"), boring weapons and armor (without mods at least) ) I still do find myself coming back every now and then to sink a bunch of hours in this game. I just like exploring and building, kinda relaxing. The RPG elements to this game are also kinda meh. Yes this game is an RPG, just not a very good one.

Only played a few hours of OW when I had game pass. Wouldn't say it was bad, just didn't keep my interest to bother playing it further, and even on sale it's over priced IMO so haven't bothered buying it to try out again. Usually $30 for the base game on sale where I live, and that would be expensive still if that included all DLC.

Find lets plays of both. Just beware of spoilers... but you can still get a good idea of content and gameplay.

What do you like anyway, even better, what are you lookin for when you stepped on here?

I browsed your reviews in the diagonal (also noticed que falamos a mesma lingua), and id rate most of what you do, Euro Truck 2 is terrific, Subnautica was original, very nice game, Divinity OS yes sir, Long Dark, was a backer of that in early access, all they done was add massive maps yet no means of transportation, today the game really is a boring walking simulator.

If you lookin for something post-apoc, try Fallout 3, which is 4 but done better, try New Vegas, arguably the best 3D Fallout to date, but they both of them suffer from stability issues and might crash (and pick a fight with windows 10). Theres Stalker as well, dunno what it is you after.

Eh, merely saw ow on a sale and thought, might get it, but wait, there's fo4 might as well check it... aaaand things turned out as they did. Might even buy cooking simulator idk man.

They're good for different reasons. Fallout 4 is good for the exploration, the looting, the environment, etc. while The Outer World is good for its story, lore, and general world-building. It is a very short game though.

I didn't, I said if they want to play both. I also think OW is overpriced, but I got it in a sale.

My point is, playing OW after FO4 will make OW seem extremely small and linear in comparison.

[Langkard]

Other Worlds is much shorter. It's set up as just the first part of a series, I think. It isn't bad. It just isn't as extensive as Fallout 4.

Not to mention some major issues with hard railroading towards a certain set of choices (with npcs acting out of character or shoving you towards the route the devs wanted ... many of them clearly hashed in after the playtesting showing certain paths were not being selected)

in fallout 4 you get horny for no reason

Outer Worlds was okay, but make sure you have all of the DLC before playing if it matters to you. A second playthrough is not likely to be forthcoming.

Fallout 4 is chock full of little stories in scenes, as Skyrim was. It's way more replayable, and, of course, has a huge modding community. OW is a good game, but not in the same league as FO4.
