Tip one: Uninstall Fallout 76
Tip Two: Install The Outer Worlds
Tip one: Never buy fallout 76 in the first place
Tip Three: Uninstall the Outer Worlds
If you have Fallout 76 installed in the first place there are no tips that will help you. You are beyond help.
@@aedryk imagine liking your own comment lolll
@@aedryk Why?
Quick tip:
Hold your reload button to holster your weapon. ✌
Jay C maaaaan thanks 😂
You Angel.
You're the most heroic man out there. Don't let anyone tell you different. That was annoying me so much, you don't even know how much grief you just saved me lmao
@@kodywilliams5322 Right on!! Happy hunting!
@@longjohnlongdong4692 Right on man, you're welcome and Mahalo!
Important : you can buy the pc version of this game on the windows store, not just epic's.
And it's included in the game pass so you can play for 1$
Scorix just started my subscription today to preload the game. One freaking dollar, insane
@@whereta3097 Thats my plan, play it on gamepass until they take it off then buy it on sale.
Damn, I wish I had known that. I just bought it on epic and am not a fan of their store or app
Eugh, I'd rather just get it on Epic than mess with the window store.
Say what you want about Epic, I know their exclusivity deals have been annoying, but as long as I can get the games I don't care, and I've gotten a fuck ton of free games from the Epic store without paying them a dime. Like, does anyone know Epic just gives away tons of games for free?
Buckle up courier we're going to spaceee!
I love the quote that they put on the trailer: "Be a hero... Or not"
When it comes to the scrapping tip he gave you something I didn't hear him mention was if you do decide to go to a weapon bench you do get more scrap.
Also worth noting that unless you're selling most of your weapons, it wont be long until you've scrapped enough that you won't need any more parts for a while
I can confirm if you upgarde your weapons/armour it costs less at an workbench. Not sure about scrapping.
So based on the replies to your comment I'm getting this:
- You get more scrap by going to a bench.
- BUT it doesn't take much scrapping before you don't need more anyway, so you might as well go ahead and just scrap on the spot without a bench to save time.
- Always upgrade your weapons and armor at a workbench, though, because it costs less.
I gave most dps guns to my companions because they definitely shoots the targets better than I do.
2:11 I really had the intense thought you were about to say "It just works..." Nice tip/review video, was going to buy it anyways but always like some confirmation I am going to make a good purchase.
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT xD
Lol, it would've been very fitting.
Frankly if you played Fallout and/or Mass Effect you'll feel right at home. It's very polished and player friendly. Even have modern day ammenities like respec (so no issue if you dislike your initial build).
I wish I had it! Oh wait, that's right I've been playing it all week too.
WHY U TEASING US
Lol dont be a dick
Camelworks HAHAHAHAHAH
@@MrMattyPlays lmfao dont encourage him lol
Must be great playing it earlier , feels even better when you have a real job and buy it with money you actually earned not from donations and ad revenue 😊feels great knowing when I finish my real job tonight I get to play it knowing I earned it.
I'm having a blast playing on Xbox gamepass
Me too, no idea why it was added to game pass feels like a total mistake cause this game is awesome unlike gamepass 😂
Good way of trying to get you on there ennit, hopefully ppl will continue using it, us gamers know better though or have already played to death anything decent on there and the games prob cost next to nothing now anyways. Good for declutering though.
@@soaponarope8995 game pass is great lol obviously you're just playing on console or you're not really into quality games for almost free.. Or $1 if you were smart and did that deal and used it for your remaining time of gold (which for me was 2.5 years) and then you can play gears 1,4 and 5 on pc, metro, outter worlds, Blair witch, dishonored 2, shadow warrior, saints row, hellblade, dead rising 4, forza... I don't understand how it's a bad deal honestly lol
A blast of boredom only; this unfinished crap is not even worth the $1I wasted for one month of game pass.
Should have kept Fallout 4 installed, at least that glitchy unoptimized mess was fun, unlike Outer Worlds.
@@soaponarope8995 "Unlike game pass"? But then this unfinished Outer Worlds crap is fun?! What's wrong with you people???
Rocket League, Outer WILDS, Deus Ex, Gears of War, Fallout NV, Astroneer, Metro, Sea of Thieves, Call of the Wild... all of these masterpieces are on Game Pass, but somehow people are wasting time playing this BS game.
That section of the vid when you bring up Spacers Choice I was expecting you to say “ITS NOT THE BEST CHOICE, ITS SPACERS CHOICE!” xD
Matty hard at work! Can’t wait for the stream today!
Just gotta say i really admire you keeping your coverage of TOW spoiler free, but still incredibly informative. You're helping tons of us out here, and unlike some other video game news sources *cough* ign *cough* you do so without ruining our initial playthrough
The words 'game news source' and IGN should really not exist in the same sentence unless it's one like this or one explaining why they are not one.
I wish they had 3rd person like in new vegas. Playin FPS fully makes me feel weird idk lol never was a fan of fps.
When I'm exploring, stealthing and travelling, I love 3rd person. When I'm in full battle, 1st person helps.
@@sitizenkanemusic Exactly same here. I do everything in 3rd person. just when the big gun fights come around ill switch to FPS kill everyone then switch back to 3rd person. Lol hopefully they'll add it in the future maybe in the game. FPS is cool for like call of duty and battlefield type games multiplayers. But in my story role playing game I wana see my character. Makes me feel more immersed and invested lol plus its easier for me to see everything
If it's a motion sickness issue, change the FOV setting higher. Default is 75 but it'll go up to 110 which solved the FPS view issue for me.
Not the game for you then. Fallout 4 is right there lol
@@darthsparrow1358 fallout 4 is trash lol
"The Fallout game we always wanted." Yes
This is missing some things I’ve always wanted in Fallout.
LOL, not even close.
Foremost, Fallout was fun and immersive. It was also a lot more complex, alive, the AI was also able to think while in combat instead of just blindly rushing towards you, and combat wasn't so bullet-spongy boring.
I was going to say Outer Worlds felt like a past generation game in every regard, but then it's not even near as good as Fallout NV, so that would be unfair for the latter.
@@ArcherAC3 you obviously haven't played it.
and fallout doesn't have bullet sponge enemies? i'm now convinced you've never played FO3, NV or 4 either lmao.
@@leeonardodienfield402 Not "bullet-spongy boring", there was a (important) bit more to it.
Take Gears of War for example, it also makes use of a bullet sponge system instead of a realistic ArmA like system; yet it never fails to demand for tactics, quick thinking and change of play style.
Fallout NV and even more Fallout 4 are also a bit similar, different enemies behave differently in combat, damage is more critical (instead of just a floating number from an HP bar), AI is not plain dumb and knows how to use cover and flank at times AND combat in general was much more complex and have more variety.
Oh, and I did play, even if for some unfortunate 2,5 hours in which I happened to uninstall, reinstall and finally definitely uninstall this crap again.
Also, the attempt at an Hardcore more they tried to implement with "supernova" difficulty is so cheaply ridiculous. Almost every food item in New Vegas had an effect on both Hunger and Thirst (commonly on Sleep as well); while in this broken crap I was almost dying of Thirst because every single food and beverage item you can find in early game doesn't affect Thirst.
The first tip was great and I haven't seen that ANYWHERE ELSE great job Matty! You have truly brought unique tips that will really help
I really like that we always get the same number of points to spend, because when one stat gives you more points to spend (Intelligence, generally), that's an important stat. When the numbers are equal, all stats are important.
This is the only video I have watched for The Outer Worlds. Jumping in pretty much blind tomorrow!!!!!
I have xbox gamepass and this game is included - pretty excited.
Same so happy to have the pass
First full priced game I've bought in a long time, and partially that's based on your review. Your enthusiasm is contagious and believable.
Dude this game is definitely the peak of 2019. So far, this year is easily one of the shittiest for gamers. Obsidian gives us a sense of hope
The Game is a 6/10 at Best
@@aedryk For you.
aedryk wring
2019 is only "one of the shittiest for gamers" if you are a console peasant.... grow up and get a PC, duh!
aedryk It is slightly overhyped, but I’d put it at 7 or 8/10 so far. I’m only a few hours in so far though.
I was worried that it wasn’t a full open world or whatever like how fallout is but honestly I kind of like it better because you don’t miss as much content and makes the game move a little faster, unless you’re playing on supernova lol
This game reminds me so much of Firefly, it's amazing, it's like the second season we never got.
the unreliable was definitely at least partly inspired by the serenity, some of the interior is super similar. made me so happy exploring it the first time
Yea, I would love it if they had more references to the show. It would be amazing if we got quests that were like the train job they pull or the getting married without knowing it and she turns out to be an assassin. God that would be great.
Any looting game I always fill up my inventory with needless items and will physically slow walk back to the base to scrap rather than drop anything 😂
questions:
1: what version of the game did you play? (what console?)
2: are there any robot companions (to fill the void that ED-E left)?
If i remeber correctly, there is one bot companion that looks like a power armour suit.
There is a robot companion on your ship but you need to find a item to power him up.
I don't know what he played on, but on a base Xbox it runs pretty well and I haven't had any crashes, so I can only assume that every other version is at least as good, but very likely better
So glad I found this, I just started Outer Worlds and wow is it awesome. This was a perfect guide and answered so many questions!!! Great production and content. Thanks so much for your help! 👍
Been watching your videos for YEARS, loved everything about them & I just took your advice & bought the outer worlds! Hope to see a lot more of these vids
I could never get into Fallout but I love Outer Worlds. It's not as intimidating as Fallout since you don't have one open world but many big planets that you explore in order.
The combat seems far better than what over experienced in Fallout 4 and I love the dialogue options. They are amazing and complimented with great voice acting
Fallout is hardly intimidating.
Very informative video, thanks Matty.
Loving Supernova so far. Only at the beginning because things are a bit more tactical, but game is a breath of fresh awesomeness. Great video.
Enjoying this game so much, it’s what I’ve been missing from gaming these days! Even better that it’s on Xbox game pass. Thanks Obsidian!!
I like the atom being used on science weapons it could be seen as a nod to older fallout games just as much as it could be seen as a middle finger to fallout 76's atom store.
Didn’t know about breaking down directly from opponent inventory. Very useful tip that isn’t in many of these types of videos if any others.
I’ve put five days into this game in the last couple months just about. Love this game, just didn’t play it as my mother had just passed when it released and was in unimaginable pain; love this. Matty we have the same taste man! Love this game so much. Hope the next ones got a lot more money packed into it for development budget so we can have much more!
Im so hyped for this game cant wait to play it
I rarely laugh at any jokes in games but I did a quest last night for some scientist dude who was making Toothpaste. The npc was kinda a dick and my character had a choice to agree or to threaten to punch him in the throat.... That made me laugh. I know I know cool story
It's little stories like that, that make a game so personable and enjoyable !
You are the MVP my man.
Everyone is talking about how you can talk your way out of a fight in this game while I’m here trying to talk my way into one!
I would also prefer to skip the cut scene and go straight to the shooting.
There are multiple points in the game where you can choose a dialouge option like
screw you
And that starts a fight
In TTD if you target your crosshair on the enemy, it sometimes tells you what is their strength and weaknesses, along with their level and hp.
The only issue I have with the game is when you look at the map and move the cursor it takes so dang long to move
Just zoom out man
When I couldn’t persuade that outlaw with the mowhawk because I didn’t know about the skills, I was so devastated lol. Also I sold a damn mission schematic! Goshhhhh I assumed like an ass that it would lock the quest items but it makes sense because “all the flaws”. Grrrrrr. Watch out for selling quest items 😭
I think giving Parvaati the retrofitted heavy armor is a must
Corporate Commander 3:51
Angry Joe: We meet again
Just finished the game on supernova
Did it with dialogue, and companion build.
Get the two leadership skills to 100 as fast as you can and companion perks. Felix gives 40 extra persuade points so you only need 60 points to have 100. Companions are OP in this game, especially if u give vicar the gloop gun and his science perk.
5:02 Nah, Supernova is easy, spec into Ranged Weapons when making Character and high Perception and Inteligence (Gives more crit dmg)
Once you hit Long Guns or Handguns 100 your Crits with those will ignore ANY Armor, and this combined with the right Perks, beginns the Snowball of death.
BUT, be careful about Marauder H00ligans, those full auto weapons can shread you so fast, even with on lvl Armor.
I played when it launched on normal and it was just too boring. Or tbh I just couldn't get into it. Now, I think I'll revisit with moderated expectations and I am taking your comment to heart. Will try supernova!
iv just started this game today (i know im late) but this is a great start for a new player like me thank you.
I’ve done nothing but play this game for 40 of the last 48 hours- I am enthralled. This game is Fallout meets Bioshock in space and it completely makes a terrifically fun game!
Supernova is really difficult. I wish they tone down the negative impact from thirst and hunger. -5 dexterity and sneak is ridiculous for being barely thirsty!
Definitely getting the new Vegas feels playing this. Theres nothing groundbreaking goingon yet, just really good dialogue and the game just feels polished and has a neat style that I'm diggin.
Question! What level of engineering can we breakdown items on screen with the analog. No detail in the skills screen and I won't to decide if I'm going to invest the points in it or not.
Please answer!!
Damn I can't say how I missed games like this. I'm only a few hours in, but I'm loving it to bits.
I won't talk about 76, because I haven't played it, but to get the obvious comparison out of the way: Bethesda Games will always have a special place in my heart, which makes the path they chose for their games even more hurtful for me. I remember the "classic" Fallout games as games where you can really do what you wanted to. Want to play a pacifist charisma build? You can do that. Sneak past enemies, rely on your companions, talk your way out of violence. Huge roleplaying options. Play the character YOU want, not the character the game wants you to play.
The Fallout series died for me and many others with the release of Fallout 4. It was a buggy mess up until the point where they released the DLCs and that shows how greedy Bethesda has become. Little to no roleplaying aspect whatsoever and if you play the game long enough, you will always have the same character, a jack-of-all-trades, who is too OP for everything the game throws at you. Remember the Deathclaws and the threat they posed in older Fallout games like Fallout 3 or New Vegas? In Fallout 4 you absolutely destroy a Legendary Deathclaw after 30 minutes into the game. I remember how sad I was after experiencing that, because seeing a Deathclaw in the other Fallout games was either a tough fight or guaranteed death. And don't get me started on the dialogue choices. Pump up charisma and you'll always be prepared for every dialogue in the game, because there are only speech checks, no medicine or intelligence or anything else. I never finished Fallout 4 because of that.
The Outer Worlds is everything I wanted Fallout to be since Fallout 4.
A universe with interesting characters and places, quests that aren't your typical RPG fetch quests and feel important, fun combat, perfect dialogue design, really good writing, important choices, graphics are not perfect, but good in an aesthetic perspective, there's little to no bugs, almost no performance issues (except for cities, but that might just be my PC) and so on. So just about everything Bethesda failed to deliver. After everything I heard about 76, I'm just not excited about Bethesda games anymore. I don't think I'll buy another Fallout or even Elder Scrolls Game (which I also really loved until paid mods were introduced, wtf Bethesda). But I already know I would buy an Outer Worlds 2 on release.
Buy the pistol "salvager's friend" off of Gladys on Groundbreaker and level that sucker up. I LOVE that gun. I call it the one hit wonder.
First thing I do on Epic Games is to disable cloud saves in the settings tab of the Epic Games loader. Apparently, this setting will prevent the 'Cloud Conflict Disaster' which results in the "Epic" loss of hours of game play. Interestingly, Private Division (Epic Games) is vehemently opposed to this tack, yet they offer no advise on how to keep the "Cloud Conflict" from happening again, other than "Good Luck".
I did the opposite I forgot about myself but gave my companions all the good loot which I often do forget about my own guns and armour
Thanks dude ! Just got game yesterday and Love it ! I only do RPG's - sky,bio,fall,Dishonored style ! 👍
Oh never noticed the whole breaking items down right in the container and not having to go through your inventory. I just picked everything up and either scrapped of sold them from the investory
This was super helpful, Subscribed and Liked.
Sounds promising, I’m pretty sick of the endless slaughter-fest that so many games offer. I like the skill tree, it gives loads of choices for character development.
very good video. I subscribed because of this video. Time to binge your channel lol.
Thanks for the video, Im so stoked for this game. I have One Question.
Will you be able to still play after beating the game. like side quests and such?
He mentioned that the game ends after the "final stage".
Yea like in New Vegas there'll be a slideshow showing you all the choices you made and how you effected the world. This game's meant for multiple playthroughs 😊
@@craftycraff7938 Oh well thats ok, this game seems to have a good variety of different playstyles and endings. That you can work towards to.
thanks for your reply!
You’re gonna want to do the side quests as you go through
Also he says in his review that some mission routes get cut off by the choices you make so you’re gonna need to play through more than once to get everything content wise
I have faith in the future of video games again. It’s been a dark few years but finally a decent game has been made that actually lived up to expectations.
I've been debating whether or not I should buy this right away since it's actually pretty short. You're tips alone have convinced me to buy it. Thanks.
Tyler Hassett I just bought new cod and outer worlds of sucked hard and this game was fun
Buy it at Walmart they were both 45 dollars each
I don't want my character to be persuasive, or charismatic, I just wanna be a straight up liar.

That would be awesome! I love it. Would make for a unique and fun gameplay!

Time for an ultra-violent stealth build run

Stealthy archer!.....I mean sniper
Any news on any game breaking bugs? I usually wait a month or so after a release to see if a patch but it just looks so fun
As of right now, none. Some reviewers mentioned crashing once during their 30-40 hour long playthroughs but that's it.
And that's without the substantial day-one patch.
I noticed ACG talked about how stable it was for an Obsidian game. He said he hit two bugs in the entire time he played and neither was drastic.
Haven’t hit any bugs yet, not any major ones anyway just small stuff you don’t notice
Back to report. So... Might I say I love the game and from what I've played so far warms the heart. However, there is this one annoying bug... No matter what skin tone I pick my character is always the polar opposite of whatever I choose. Like I tried to play as a white due but each time I restarted I was black in-game... not a deal-breaker but it breaks the immersion for me. I've come to tolerate it and hope for a patch soon
@@LiveToRapRapToLive93 breaks immersion in a 1st person game where you rarely see your character, ugh ok
Good tips, very descriptive and nice delivery. Bethesda...this is how you make a game.
Ammo types, skills multiple ways to play what is this a rpg
Its been so long that a good RPG was released that i was starting to forget it stood for "role playing game" not "rocket propelled grenade"
Well I know the game Kingdom Come Deliverance isn’t a FPS but it was one hell of a rpg light years ahead of Skyrim in some areas try it out it’s on Xbox game pass
@@darealistkeyes i havent tried it, but my friend owns it, and i watch him play alot. It looks really good, but my main reasons for not giving it a try is that your character is less customizable since hes Henry. And the other thing holding me back, and this is a big one, is its not fantasy like. I love my RPGs to be less "real" as in either having magic and dragons and shit, or futuristic like Fallout, Outer Worlds, or Cyberpunk.
Edit: The exception i made to playing a pre established character is Witcher 3, for obvious reasons
LMAO the grenade launcher uses the same ammo type as the assult rifle get outta here with that bs
It's a near perfect Bethesda game just not made by Bethesda.
will be playing this on xbox 1 (thus no console commands). looking forward to next vid you refer to. Next vid, please let us know where/what is the best scoped, silenced gun for sneaking at the beginning to keep yourself alive.
Was going to get this on epic but epic still has no working achievements.
You can get it on the windows store on PC as well
@@reckless5834
never tried windows store for pc. is it any good.
@@astrogazer1818 It's basically just like the xbox marketplace but for your computer if I'm not mistaken.
I sell all armours cause I love the cryo suit you get in the beginning
The Enemy AI doesn't look like they react to a kill right near them ? Was this a problem ? Nothing worse than AI with no I.
I noticed that too. I haven't heard anybody talk about the AI yet. Going to wait for more information on that before I buy. I hate enemies that just stand there.
Yeah AI is not impressive tbh. They react if they are close enough but otherwise won’t notice … i compensate bad AI with higher difficulty. also i noticed the world and even the buildings were kind of small. But that said game is fun
@@DerekDomino71 get the game pass off the Microsoft store, you can play the game for free on it for 14 days.
Nope AI reacts just fine. I sniped some creature and then like 6 of those big gorilla things came chasing me was the most intense shit ever lol. Also had the same done with the humans just they are not too hard to kill unless it’s the heavy armor guys.
Really don’t underestimate the importance of dialog skills in this game. They open up a ton of possibilities and even money and xp if you use them right. Also science skill is good.
Stealth and Dialog is very important.
Love your stuff Matty... sincerity is a dying currency in which you are rich! Much appreciated! Question: Have you, or has anyone in this thread figured out how to add the whisper quiet muzzler to a rifle? I have the hunter's rifle, but it won't let me add the whisper quiet muzzler to that rifle because it doesn't allow me to add barrel mods to the rifle. Weird! I can't think of a weapon that is better suited for a silencer / muzzler than a rifle!
Fallout NV + kotor + mass Effekt + a little bit of bioshock = outer worlds.
Great game. Lvl 17 now
Loving the game but like with any new IP it’s gonna be rough, let me explain; stick to a crack on the ground between a grassy mesh versus say and rocky mesh. But it’s mostly stuff like that. Getting stuck in and on the environments is crappy but overall not bad
Its the fallout we all wanted. Thank you obsidian. Thank you.
Phenomenal game..... I was let down by fallout 4 after it didn't meet expectations and don't even gonna mention 76...But this is great.... No pre-order bullshit no special editions no season pass no microtramsaction.... That is icing on the cake... Definitely buy this one
Hey Matty, I haven’t checked into your channel for a bit. How’re you liking The Outer Worlds?
I’m really hung up on this game, damnit
If I get it I'm not getting it on the Epic Store. Fuck that place.
@@erichendricks8748 its on windows store too. You could also buy the game pass for 5 bucks and use it for a month.
onetrickshow you wanna pay an extra 59 for a disc?
@@ActNasty5 yes we do
I just got this game yesterday and I’m dying to get into it. Been avoiding spoilers sins it came out.
My frame rate keeps dropping on my xbox one , can anyone explain how I fix this?
In my area Wal-Mart is selling it for $49 to undercut Gamestop.
Do you know if you get any xp for stealthing past enemies or otherwise avoiding a confrontation. Sort of like what Skyrim does.
I feel this will be the new standard for games in the 20s
Is there a way to get to max level without going the psychopath route and kill every living thing in the galaxy? I've reached the end of the game and finished all the quests and I'm only level 30.
I just keep all the unique items I found in my ship's locker, no need to sell them or break them down.
You mentioned there wasn’t a NG+ which kinda sucks but can we continue to play the game after we beat it? Or do we have to start a brand new game?
Didn't realise this was gonna be on xbox game pass woo hoo what a bonus!
Great video Matt, this game is so much fun though I still catch myself wondering where my character is due to the lack of a third-person view. With the launch of this game and the continuous Bethesda missteps, I doubt anyone will ever go back to Fallout or any other Bethesda RPGs, I know I won't.
Spaces Choice, Taster's Choice, who doesn't like a good cup of coffee.
First game I cant stop playing in a long time. Usefull tips, especially the scrapping and perks. How do you ensure you use heavy amo in say an asult rifel or sniper, i.e. how do you load in the amo to the weapon, where does it say?
Should I be exploring a shit ton before doing the main quest? I'm towards the beginning and I'm still not sure if I should be exploring this early
My biggest complaint would probably be no ads toggle. Other than that the only feature I would like to see is custom difficulty. Your companion AI is frankly not so good. Sure you can armor them up and tell them to be passive, ect but them permanently dying on supernova is a pain. I would love to see a difficulty system where you could customize everything. Kind of like what we have seen in skyrim mods or other games with it. It frankly just fits and I hope we see it. Inb4 the game was built so you can kill everyone comments and blah blah.
How do I unlock last 3 planets, i have no quest left to do except the end mission "confront Sophia", are they even explorable planets or just static planet
I can't wait. This game is going to be alot of fun.
A couple of things to mention. If you shoot the person with the wrong type the damage numbers float downward. Also if you go to the tutorial section it will tell you what type of weapons is best for what type of enemy. Another thing is you can change the way your companion acts in fights. I got tired of her rushing in and getting kills so I set it so I had to tell her to start fighting
Ah to heck with all the tips. Just get in and learn by doing, because it is much more fun that way.
Looks great! Can't wait to play it!
