This is better than Starfield and New Vegas.

Combined. Thank you Epic for making this one out for free. I'm truly having way more fun than both of those games.

Well... to each his own, but, Starfield and New Vegas smoke this.

New Vegas does but Starfield absolutely does not. Your comment surprised me because I seen 2 posts yesterday in Starfield groups and every single comment on both of them said The Outer Worlds is better. Which it is. Even Starfield fanboys agree TOW is better.

Well, objectively, it isn't better (check ratings from games mags). I also think subjectively (for me) it isn't nearly as good. And, I say that although I only played Starfield for 10 hours, and then left it, because, the gameplay isn't too my taste (it tries to juggle too many balls at once. I want an action RPG, not a buildup simulation, or a space combat game).

Let's be honest: The story of Outer Worlds is completely dumb, the characters are equally dumb, and the gameplay isn't exactly challenging either. It's just super mediocre. And, if you read here and elsewhere, you will see that I'm absolutely not alone with that assessment. It's just a very average game for the majority of players.

You know, it's great for free, as it just was on Epic Store. But, I wouldn't pay any money for it now. And, I surely wouldn't put it on the same level or even above classics like New Vegas. No effin' way.

Do you mean gaming magazines? People still read those? Anyways, gaming reviews no matter what source they're from is still subjective no matter what. Gaming reviewers aren't the by all be all for objective truth.
I just think lots of Bethesda fanboys won't give it a chance because it's not a carbon copy of Fallout.. But it feels more like a choose you own adventure Mass Effect game which is way better imho.

I agree. It poops on Starfield from every aspect. As for New Vegas, they're both alright, then again I wouldn't touch New Vegas without mods as with all bethesda games that are older and allow modding

Going by that logic, every "superhit" getting 40/100 on Metacritic would be the greatest thing ever, if someone says so.

The Outer Worlds is still a totally mediocre game. Subjectively and objectively. If that kind of a story and writing is something from a "masterpiece" for you, then I highly doubt your judgment.

Even the gameplay elements aren't exactly "original", but, it's all just decently tailored stuff which already has been in loads of RPG games.

Again, it's fun for a while, if you don't mind the super stupid characters and story. But, it's really far away from the writing of New Vegas, and, yes, also Starfield. Different league really.

When Outter came out i wasn't impressed. Time passed, they upped up the game, more games came out, Starfield came out, guess what? Suddenly Outter doesn't seem so bad, trying it again, on the contrary is great. Its universe that it conveys, characters (Which I used to attack as all being feminist looking women) I just don't care anymore and seeing Starfield now, Outter Worlds has soul.

It has nice aesthetics, nice world build up and lore, gameplay is alright, story is subjective, it still captures and does things much better than say, bethesda's recent titles.

In Starfield for instance, there's no soul, it's all bland, it has a void lore/looks that attract me in 0 shape or form. No game is perfect but at least have that candy going to keep people on chewing, Outter is candy compared to Starfield.

The story, writing and characters in Starfiled are a different league that The Outer Worlds'. But, maybe you simply like The Outer Worlds' setting better than Starfield's, which is fair enough. I vastly prefer Starfield's approach.

Now, if it wasn't for the "I want to be everything" gameplay... I want an action RPG, no build up simulation, and space combat simulator. Apart from that, the sheer size, and the empty planets really suck the life out of me. Bethesda should have concentrated on a single thing, and do that well, and not try to do a behemoth of a game which does everything.

People like quantity over quality these days. It's a shame.

lol in what universe does starfield beats this game? From almost no aspects it does other than being overpriced, lacking content and probably having a "brand" name behind the game + "more expensive" voice actors, which Outter does better anyway.

Easy there cowboy, did someone from this game's dev team rubbed you the wrong way? No way you'd prefer starfield over this if you slightly like rpgs.

Starfield tops this game on ambition alone, irrelevant of the execution
of course the execution is times better, also

[gungadin22000]

After playing the game for 15 minutes, I can confirm that the OP is drunk as hell.

The Obsidian that made FONV is long gone. What we are left with is more FO3-level trash, this time in spaaaaaace.

Absolutely. Bethesda making vast desolate planets.
