  • Well, to be fair, they sold out since a while a back.

    “At that time where our finances had become healthy again, I brought up that since we had the means to do so, we should pay back the employees who gave up their paychecks to keep us going. That comment was met with silence by all the owners.”

    They are not in there for art anymore. Money’s the game now …

    The outer worlds world building was cool, the voice acting was nice… I can’t remember the game story at all. The gameplay had only one quality : it existed. The weapon selection could have been cool but it was not. They didn’t weave the good world building they did in the other elements of the game and it was a shame.

    So, I think it’s a lost opportunity of a game. It could have been way cooler with not a lot of efforts. I feel it took some risks while avoiding all the risks a game should take.

    TL;DR : This game is like horseradish. It starts strong then offer no more flavor than what it started with. Then you get tired of that flavor and ask yourself why you are eating horseradish in the first place.


  • Anti-communist propaganda is all the rage everywhere.

    If you like the game, but the propaganda is affecting you, sorry.

    I know games are an escape but you don’t have to be ideological about everything… playing a game with bad takes won’t make you less communist if you really are communist.

    You can take that as a test of your resolve, to make it more fun.


  • Obsidian is an AA studio.

    They used to be indie and produce masterpiece games that didn’t get sold because they didn’t have mass appeal. Both Pillars game are awesome - it’s kinda sad that they now do 3d games with minimal deepness - and i’m not saying Avowed and The Outer World are not awesome in some ways, just that they lack the little something both pillars had.
