    what i dislike about this game is that you spend all the time making your character look a certain way but there is no way to see your character beyond your menu . you never see your character in a cutscene and you cant switch to 3rd person like in fallout. so what is the point of character creation in a game where you never see your own character.

    The over-praising of Outer Worlds is likely the result of gamers being so desperate to get their hands on a solid RPG. It's been almost a decade since Fallout: New Vegas came out and it's tragic that games have (mostly) only gone backwards since then.

    Can’t believe I’m finally hearing, someone got negative points on Outer Worlds.. Good on you Mack..
    Was searching for ages yesterday in RUclips to see if someone else thought like I did, that this game had some problems, and it was all like 100% positive reviews with no criticism, and amidst all that nonsense, Mack rises above!
    All the issues I had you nicely summed them up.
    The models that look like balloons, the color pallets, the copy paste feel, the small areas, the dialog problems(I actually found myself bored on it after playing some time I had to open a movie next to it ,lol, and just let them speak while I watched a film...*ding*) ROFL loved the COD reference!!
    The issue with the x-ray vision was totally annoying as well.
    And EPIC store shayyet mention at the end like a cherry on top.
    Best review ever Mac, thanks.
    For me it all just felt like I’m playing a moded version of Fallout 3 or 4.
    The looting also had no feel of fun for me.
    You can ransack whole places, but that loot is just useless,had tons of cash with nothing real to invest in etc,something was fail in that as well for me.
    There`s nothing new, it’s all same, just different story, and I wasn't impressed by Bethesda version of Fallout (I’m a fan of the first two games, for me Fallout 3 was just Oblivion with guns)
    Think this game is built well like triple A game should be but theres no innovation here.
    Personally I think,If you loved Bethesda versions of Fallout you'll love this,otherwise not worth the buy.

      Yeah I'm surprised no one has been pointing out the flaws. The weapon selection is meh, and seems to push you toward using energy weapons. The lock picking and hacking systems seem pointless after you level up a little and get boosts from armor and companions. The perks aren't particularly interesting. The game seems to want to push you to have companions; only 3 perks boost solo play style, whereas there are 12+ companion perks for the player and more on each companion. Personally I find most of the characters to be ugly and annoying, including the companions. I don't particularly care for any of the factions yet either. Some of those are personal gripes and nitpicking, and I'm still going to play the hell out of it, but it's not a perfect game.

    As for the colour palette, agree it's bollocks, you reckon they might've had colour palette options in the settings like some games do. Could probably tweak that saturation down with ReShade if it gets a bit much and use a sharpen filter to make enemies a bit more visible as it's quite water-coloury.

    1. Ai is very stupid
    2. You can walk up behind an Ai without them noticing you and there's no option to stealth kill them, you have to shoot or hit them and cant kill them in one hit (all other enemy's are now aware of you're attack) (but not necessarily, because the ai is stupid)
    3. Graphics are satisfactory but not mind blowing, comparable to fallout 4 but fairly better.
    4. Music is very dull and lonely.
    5. Dialog options are great and there are many, your choices really do change the story and ending.
    6. To many loot crates that need lockpicking, but even if your lockpicking skill is high enough to pick the lock, you never find enough lockpicks to open all of the crates!
    7. Not enough types of enemies.
    8.NPC'S are too lifeless, they lack emotion and lip syncing is bad.
    9. Not open world, but does feel like it is, and theres always hidden loot to find if you explore.
    10. Start on hard mode as combat is easy and ai is not "intelligent".
    11. Overall I'm glad that I bought this game. It's not bad and it has a lot of customisations, perks, skills, and choice's to make. You can also have 2 companions following you.
    However I feel that there is still a lot to be desired. 😁

It's no full-blown cRPG (though more full-blown than any other AAA rpg recently), it's narrative-driven, that's how it was marketed, it focuses on adaptive storytelling as the main RPG element and did it very well especially given the games scale and scope.

    So before i say this , i love the outer worlds , but the thing you said about the witcher. What about being able to allocate points into stats makes it anymore of an RPG than the witcher, or killing npcs? This isn't fanboying about the witcher, it's that an RPG isn't just a term that means it's only made this way or it's not one. You role play as geralt in the witcher, not as who you want to be.....I know this is an obvious statement, but i just don't understand what would indicate that one is a more proper RPG than the other, outer worlds is more of the old school style of an RPG which i love, doesn't make it any more or less than other RPG's though.

    For women in the game, I too could not stand Parvati, who is obviously a gay knock-off of Kaylee from the Firefly series. Couldn't stand the companion chain quest from her and the 'should I ask her out?' line of questioning was tedious and nothing more than developer virtue signalling. I quite liked Ellie at first, but was difficult to respect once her companion quest revealed she was just an emo with rich parents. Nyoka was more wholesome.

    The art style is so derivative and boring. It is like what would have been considered creative in early 00s games when this kind of style seemed to be original. There is not one original element here. Crates around, everything walled off by "obstacles". Characters look like they are from Destiny, planet environments look like they are from worst levels in Mass Effect Andromeda. Character models look like they are people at a cosplay party.

    I was looking forward to Outer Worlds. I’ve played a couple of Obsidian games in the past and I’ve never forget how my friend eulogised over New Vegas, how open ended it was, you could do almost anything, kill anybody to achieve your own goals.
    So far, I’ve only really played a hour or two. I’m on the first planet. Playing on Supernova.
    The combat is just kinda meh. Similar to an mmo.
    The AI is pretty dumb, they seem only able to spot you from no further than 10ft.
    And the worst offence? Enemies appear ‘tethered’ to their spawn location...... NOOOOOOOO!
    I really hate that in games!
    What that means is you run from the enemy about 20-30ft and they will then run back to their spawn location, regardless whether youre shooting them or what..... And forget all about you.
    Which really makes combat feel generic, and one dimensional and often rote.

    I hated this game. Having replayed Fallout 4 recently that was much more enjoyable. I know people hate on Fallout 4 but 3 and NV just feel too old now I don't enjoy them half as much as I did in 2008 and 2010, which is when they came out. It's just a shame TES and Fallout are my favourite series because I'll be waiting a long time for Fallout 5 and TES 6.

    Heads up, if you have sound problem, map dosnt load, npc don´t talk etc. Change your fps cap settings to 60.
