I have Cyclothymia, its basically less extreme bipolar disorder... Our man Fudgemuppet obviously has awakened his truest mental dysfunction, multiple personality disorder!
Logan Ross my ex girlfriend was a schizophrenic with DDNOS and 15 unique alters. Most of which interacted with at some point or another. We ended up breaking up because being several towns away and having to split our time together between 3 of them (I was with more than one) was getting way to hard.
It probably is one guy. The guy who (claimed) he did a 15 hour speed run, then complained it wasn't long enough. He beat the game but never played it. People that lie about how long it took them to beat the game need to know that will never get you laid. No one cares. So either he is lying, or he did rush through the game on easy and has no right to complain how short the game is
Agreed when I tell people Outer worlds is exactly like Fallout 3 or New Vegas they think I am bashing the game but I am really not. RPGs like this got perfected in the early 2000s with Morrowind,Oblivion and F3/NV all we want now is better graphics and more polish,but instead we got over simplified RPG mechanics Micro-transactions and whatever the fuck Fallout 76 is.

@griffith did nothing wrong It's only 15 hours and no open world.
@ 15 hours is only if you rush through it, without much exploring side quests. Even with 25-30 hours it's on the shorter side, but with replayability as a selling point, I think that makes very much sense and is reasonable. Not to mention the several people that said they were very eager to play a new character right again to see how different choices will play out next time.
Honestly, with everything that’s been happening with AAA Developers, it’s about time we got a game that has actual Heart and Soul and doesn’t exist solely to rob the average gamer of all their money.
There's been a few good games recently and from a good chunk of their review this doesn't really sound like one of them. "Really good" in very few aspects and good in all others doesn't exactly scream passion project. Will have to wait until I can actually play it but so far from what I've seen I'm thinking I'd rather play GreedFall; story, factions, character, game world, lore and combat just seem more fun/complete((?), like what they pointed out about the character background in OW, seems like a half baked trait system along with the factions approvals) to me, but that's not to say there aren't improvements that could be made though.
@@anthonylongoria2638 Haven't played Greedfall as of this writing, but TOW has more appeal to me because it is filling in that void that he RPG-lovers have been wanting since 2011! Also, Don't be a Judgmental A-hole, we have too many of those these days
The biggest criticism is that you were left wanting more...? Aah~ I remember those glory days from the past! Sounds like this is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of our modern AAA game fare? I’ll be buying it as soon as I have some spare cash!
Just keep in mind , this is a double A title , what I'm looking foward to is The Potential for future Microsoft funded AAA sequels from this game. The future is looking bright for Obsidian
I mean arguably the fact its double A might be a good thing atm. The triple A industry has been one catastrophe after another, and lots of people are actually anticipating outer worlds for the fact it isnt yet another triple A trash heap on paper. Now mind you im buying it because i think it looks fun but still
Yea CDPR is a good one, Bethesda is pretty much dead at this point and I have little hope for their future games. Microsoft isn't really to bad with micro transactions and they seem to leave those up to their developers. I guess the only down side is for Playstation players because futer titles will be Xbox and Windows exclusives
@Lúzia A Morta Well i cant say ive kept up as well on that front. But from what i have seen they are attempting a similar aspect but in an aggressive way. Projekt Red is trying to actively stand against the current triple A norm, they dont want that idea to be "i think they might be different" they want "its different, and its different because everyone agrees the current system is awful". Its an ingenious usage of current gaming politics and will certainly serve their game well sales wise. Its kinda like indie devs rejecting epic exclusivity money. Sure you lose the money, but just the fact you took a revolutionary/pro-consumer choice is enough to earn huge amounts of fans/sales/free advertising via news and videos.
@@joshuabillings5108 Well, i wouldnt say bethesda is dead. Fallout is dead maybe for almost everyone, but bethesda still has the trump card of "The elder scrolls 6". Anyone who played skyrim is prolly gonna buy TES6 if it isnt fallout 76 levels of bad. Its kinda like steam and valve. If valve was ever really in danger they could put the number 3 on any of their three main series and watch sales ascend to untold levels. Microsoft simarly has the advantage of being...well... Microsoft! They are MASSIVE already, if they drop even like 5 mil hypothetically on a game and it fails miserably, its still just kind of a small poke to the company. Hence they can afford to let companies have more autonomy
@@ZanderTheUnthonkable yea and ES6 will probably be full of Micro Transactions and FO76 mechanics. I have no hope for the game. Especially with the new 100 dollar a year subscription service they just added to FO76. I'm sorry but Bethesda has turned into EA
Really love just hearing you guys ramble, miss the podcast and twitch streams a ton. Glad you guys are having fun playing this game and talking about it, its been too long since fallout/TES fans have had a passionate spark about another game.
Funny...when New Vegas first came out it got so many average and some negative reviews but now it seems like its the standard for what action rpgs should be...funny
@@andyskyfall3891 A role-playing game (sometimes spelled roleplaying game; abbreviated RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of structured decision-making regarding character development. Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.
@@andreaslaban8908 nope! mass effect trilogy only carries the name, can you join the cerberus in the 3 and 1? could you help reapers? Or become a human supremacist and beat everyone? or put an end to humanity? or why could u not be any race? it was a nice game with a very well built world but that world was only used as half of it's potential. but the game was everything but rpg. about witcher, 1 was pretty much a role playing game but since 2 it has become an action adventure like skyrim.
@Lúzia A Morta Yes i have and to your 2nd comment they are indeed a AAA sized company that have put out AAA size/funded games. They're owned by Microsoft aswell.
@Lúzia A Morta I don't think not being triple A is really an 'excuse' for much anymore, given how many great games/narratives have been made by single individuals and the more recent games (GreedFall made by Spiders for one) made by 20 member staffs
It’s impressive how u beat it in 15 hrs. I’m 13 hrs into the game and I haven’t even made it to Monarch yet. I heard the game picks up a bit once u get there so I’m excited to see.
Fudgemuppet RULES!!! "Left me wanting more" was the best thing you could've said to heighten my interest even more than it is. I already figured out that this game has a high potential for series of modular DLC add ons based on the world design. Just DL a whole new moon, planet or entire solar system, find your landing clearance and it's game on all over again in a whole new world. I see near limitless potential there. My primary interest here is the role play aspect and it sounds like Obsidian got that part right. I'm sure that Obsidian will listen to fan critique and respond in kind with updates as we go, unlike BGS who seems to only listen to cash these days. What they've done to my beloved Fallout makes me want to vomit. Apologies for saying that but truth is truth. Thank you very, very much for staying on top of this bold new game and for all the awesome content that you mates deliver on the regular here at Fudgemuppet. You always get a like from me guys. For stuff this good there should be a "love it" button! :) lol But, let me guess.... I'm hearing Scott and Michael today. So, I'm guessing that Drew is either still glued to the Outer Worlds in some insanely intense marathon play thru trying to break the game or creating yet another of your amazing TES lore videos. Let me know if either guess was right, please. Just my curious nature :) Adventure on friends! :)
Look like it's a good, solid game. Not a GotY or anything amazing, but still solid. I think that's really all we can ask for out of a studio that straddle the line between triple-A and double-A production. For what it's worth, I think people will enjoy this game if they want a spacey RPG.
@@sheikmohammad8724 may I say, A LOT, sakiro, devil may cry 5, cod modern warfare, gears 5, a plague tale innocense, RE2 Remake, and control. There are also a lot of dissapointments like rage 2, anthem, and wolfenstein young blood.
@@carpenoctem gears 5 is good, the campaign anyways, and no one can argue with that. Modern warfare, is said to be the best cod of all time so yes, they are both good games. Unless you are only accounting for microtransactions, then that's a different argument.
@@jgsource552 they say that about every CoD lol, it's meh it at least quenches that FPS thirst but its nothing revolutionary. It's CoD ffs, your typical arena arcade FPS that finally got okay graphics.
Just today finished my first playthrough. Took me 36 hours, and I didn't even find all the quests and stuff to do I'm finding out now that I am looking stuff up. Long enough for me...
Lol. All I’m saying is that it would be interesting to have the flaws you get through gameplay be more difficult with higher difficulty levels. I just wanna see the game be stellar because I love what obsidian has done for the RPG genera in the past. Not trying to shit on it. But judging by the reviews it could use some higher difficulty which I always like in an fps rpg.
Play supernova dude, everything ur complaining about is taken care of in supernova difficulty which is the parallel to survival mode in new vegas. You cant save scum in it either, so...
@@lunarvania8073 Supernova was only hard at first because my companions kept dying. Once I figured out you could set them to "passive" and order them to hide rather than run out in the open and die, the game has been a breeze.
The thing about the length is that this is a AA game, not AAA. It was never meant to be a Skyrim type game. I'm loving every minute of it. And I'm already thinking about what the build will be like for my next playthru.
Just finished my first playthrough, and I must say I'm very pleased with what Obsidian has done. I won't pretend the game doesn't have flaws, but overall I see in this a real contender in the open world rpg genre. And while, I'm glad they focused mostly on making a great game first and a potential franchise second, it ultimately left me wanting more; if they expand on and delve as deeply into this universe's lore as The Elder Scrolls and Fallout have, I can see The Outer Worlds really going places. I'm still determining if it will have the same replay value of something like Skyrim or New Vegas, and though I have some minor gripes with it, The Outer Worlds has proven to me that there IS still room for innovation and passion out there in the gaming industry. I wish the Outer Worlds team luck with their future endeavors, and hope they continue reminding folks the true potential in video games like this.
Honestly it was super fun for me... for the most part of the early game. After awhile,(im at byzenthium) everything feels same ish. Combats not really thrilling, theres not alot you can do, shoot, ttd, dodge, run around while healing, use companion skill rinse and repeat. The maps are generic af. I find that im just slogging through the gameplay because im already invested in the story and writing, which is actually really really good. Overall this game feels like a 7 for me. What do you guys think?
20-30 hours is the same as the mass effect trilogy games. I much prefer this kind of game than the new blight of 100-300 open world RPGs where you wander off in an empty desert.
That's exactly my point, I'm not saying that liking open world games is bad, and even I enjoy them occasionally. But I'm saying that it's very hard to find good ones in this day and age of MTX and loot boxes, in which companies are care more about wasting your time so they can extort money from you for "time savers". Fallout 4 is great and I return to it again and again; Fallout 76 is universally acknowledged as terrible, and not buying it seems like one of my better decisions. We live in an age where open world games are terrible by default, and should be avoided until proven otherwise. A condensed 20-30 hours game is optimal for most RPGs, because developers have trouble producing larger content and have finite resources, especially a double-A developer like Obsidian; the alternative is a game with 20-30 hours of "quality" gameplay and a 100+ hours of walking simulator. For example, HBS Shadowrun games are spectacular; average playthrough is 10-12 hours, but they're chockfull of action, lore and roleplaying, and very open for replayability.
The Solmanian what games are you playing that have bad open world? Breakpoint? Every open world I have played lately has been amazing. RDR2 and days gone both kept me plenty busy so please explain what’s bad? I’m actually curious not a troll
All the open world games that liked? It wasn't because of the open world, it was despite of it. Even in the outer worlds, the long walks between objectives aren't the fun part, it's a hinderance to overcome... Great game, way too much walking though.
For real. It seems some people just rush through the game. Without listening to conversations, meeting all NPCs, exploring complete dialogue trees, taking time to upgrade weapons and armor for you and your companions, doing all main and side quests, exploring, looting, etc. it seems crazy to me that anyone could play this game fully in 15 hours. I see a lot of people in the comments saying they beat it around that time but just as many or more saying they are way longer into it and aren’t even close to finishing. I’m 90 hours in with plenty to do taking my time. This is a game world I enjoy spending time in.
so far I've got 19 hours on my main play through, i played around with different starting stats etc before choosing lone wolf stealth and pistols for supernova. My main gripe is like what you guys said its not polarizing, the game doesn't naturally flow towards you picking a side. You can be adored by two factions right until you have to fight one for the other. You can easily be godlike at everything with no consequences and the perks and flaws aren't unique enough to create special characters for yourself just by playing the game. i think the attribute system is a little strange, the flavour of the attribute doesn't really match with the mechanical effects of choosing it. the big example is intelligence with its critical damage increase for choosing it matched with weapon skills increasing hit chance rather than damage makes intelligence a must have for damage dealing characters not just smarty pants scientists/engineers. Even more so when you realise science is the only skill to give you straight up damage increases with plasma, shock and science weapons all while making it cheaper to tinker your equipment for even more damage. I've had this sort of off feeling while playing the game, a feeling that if it's slightly off the mark. It has everything i want there it's just arranged in a way that doesn't match up with what it could be, the game is good it just doesn't have that right mix to be perfect. I think it would be more enjoyable if you put rules upon yourself and force yourself to stick to a pre-determined character and only take skills and make decisions that fit within your chosen archetype. whew. that was longer than i expected.
Just finished first play through, this is probably my favorite single player rpg. I love the space / sci -fi themed games. Can’t wait to see what this studio does in the future.
I cannot wait for the mod community to stuff this game with more content, I also cant wait to buy any dlc obsidian puts out cuz they deserve it and I cannot get enough of this game
Thanks for the honest take 🙂 More polarizing options is the key to good roleplaying games. Its more fun when the outcomes are way different from each other, rather than being pretty similar. 👍
It sounds like you guys had unrealistic expectations for this game. They told us waaay off the bat it wasn’t a AAA game, they didn’t have the goods for it. So no fallout or Skyrim-sized servings. Yet you expected them to have a much more in depth system. I think what they had was simple with enough complexity to be very good for its size. Don’t belittle it because of what it lacks. It’s fantastic for what they could afford to put in it. Not a piece wasted. I think this will turn heads for rpgs to come. At least we pray people figure it out.
It looks fun! I’m going to get it, support the developers and even if it’s not “epic” or if I’m not “blown away” by it, I’m sure DLC will address some if not most criticism and we may even get a sequel that’s even better! 👍🏻
Hope so. From the looks of it, it seems kinda overhyped and a bit lack luster but overall solid game. I’ll probably wait a bit though to hear more about it
There's so much content in this game its ridiculously dense. My gf has a totally different playthrough going opn and shes seeing things happen that I didn't get to see based on her actions. Theres even entire areas she was able to access because of her choices. I think people are truely not understanding what this game really is.
@@subsume7904 It's still brand new. People are still discovering the nooks and crannies. You will never get a full picture of the quality of a game when you judge it solely on the length of the main missions. Having said that, if you can finish the game within 20 hours even when you're doing it at a leisurely pace, completing side quests and all, maybe it is too short? I haven't played it yet so I don't know for sure.
I think 15 hours is an understatement for the amount of content in this game unless you fast traveled throughout most of the game and only focused on the main story. I've been playing for about 20 hours now and I just arrived to Monarch.
During the endgame, I was strolling around with Ellie, Parvati with a top hat, chimaera suit and the intimidation hammer with 100 in all dialogue skills.
The only reason I use companions in fallout 4 is to get their perks, and once I do that I send them away so I just end up cheesing it and use some save scumming to get their perks super quickly then sending them off to some remote settlement where I'll never have to see or hear them again looking at you Preston Garvy
One I get all of the companion perks I just use dog meat because he doesn't interfere with the lone wanderer perk and he has his own perk in the charisma skill tree that stacks with lone wanderer so once I have a companion perk their is pretty much no use for them anymore which was just sad
My game says I've played 1d 11h 50m and my main quest at the moment is to get the caffeine pills for Nyoka, so I think I've got a lot of the game still left. My method is to just explore everywhere I can once I get to a new place, to kill all the enemies out there, loot everything, grind all the XP I can, before going to do any quests, main or side. Then I'll just do whichever quest I think I can knock out fastest, pretty much. So... 15 hours to knock it out seems like you were pretty focused on knocking out quests as rapidly as possible. I would imagine most people play it more like I do than like y'all did, so 30-40 hours seems reasonable, to me.
Also, I appreciate the points you make about skill points and perks, but I like that I don't spend hours trying to get to the next level so I can *finally* get my character to level up 10 more times so I can get the perks I think are baseline necessary to be the character I want to be. Them not being things I felt were necessary but more, you know... perks worked for me. The whole point of RPGs, to me, is to wipe out all the sidequests, do *everything*, and be OP. I don't know why you'd want to be challenged by the end of it; to me, the process of building your player up from weak to OP is the whole point; if I could only get to a point where everything was merely challenging instead of overwhelming, I'd feel let down, I'd feel like I didn't like my character that much.
Finally, I wasn't a big fan of the companions. I liked Parvati enough, but the others were merely fine. I wish there were more, I wish they were a little less generic. Your point about partitioning off some characters depending on your faction is an interesting one; if there were closer to 12 companions rather than just 6, but no one playthrough allowed you to have more than, say, 9 would be interesting. And then maybe the characters - some, at least - may be a bit more firm in their beliefs.
We saw the same thing and came to different conclusions. I went Hard into my own combat ability and used the companions and clothing for speech and sneaky options, just jumping around and oneshotting, melee only and equipped the companions and clothes I thought would be beneficial for the upcoming speech check only skill I have at 100 is science, for that juici science weapon tinkering 😋
I did a all around build. First play. And it really is the best choice. My damage output was crazy over 2k dps from maxed gun, stats for heavy, follower, perks gear. And I was a tank with 200% crit damage. All their gear was was op.
For me, the game could have been called "Firefly, The Video Game". Once I became the captain of an old space hauler, and my first two companions were a tomboyish engineer and a preacher I honestly felt like I was playing the TV series. Even when you said it ended too soon and abruptly just when I'm hungry for more...yep, just like the TV series. Having the hold filled with cows (which was a blatant Firefly easter egg) just sealed the deal, and that's how I played the game from that point on; just touring the galaxy sowing equal measures of mayhem and goodness. The main quest was in the background, the side quests became each episode in the journey....
i don't think it'll be as dynamic or detailed as cyberpunk 2077 will be, I hate that you cant resume your gameplay after the end and see the reformations. hope for additional content
Leadership is basically the path for people who want to take the more social route and leave a lot of the combat for companions. I think that's probably why it can basically be used as an easy mode. I just left it at twenty to get the companion special abilities.
My guess is that the game at launch won't be received amazingly but once all the DLC,expansions and game improvements are implemented it will go down as one of the best RPGs of the generation simmilar to New Vegas
I like this video and I've only begun playing the game but I mean I have over 100+ hours in The witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 4 and each of the other Fallout games. I also was able to squeeze 50hrs out of Prey a great immersive Sim and you could probably beat it in 15hrs. Exploration, side quests, and truly just how you play the game and at what speed you play will determine you hour amount I think.
Just started playing and I'm absolutely enjoying the game. Finally,a game that doesn't disappoint. The more and more Bethesda screws up the more and more I'm less excited for Elders Scrolls 6. I really hope that it is a great game; however, I'm not holding my breath.
While I've enjoyed your content for years, hearing you guys rip on Outer Worlds for faction choices not feeling like they hold enough weight just seems a bit hollow - the two games you have the most content about, Skyrim and Fallout 4, don't have any consequences for faction choices.
The end of fallout 4 kill all other factions the end they all finish the exact same way lol this game is so superior to fallout 4 I can't believe they're even comparing them
Of you have hard time with supernova you can spent 2 hrs on 1st map to lvl to 6 or 8 then kill everybody on main storry you can skip half missions and finish speed run with about 5 hrs
i always wonder how youtube reviewers play such games. yes you do sidequests so you can talk about it. But i never ever could rush through such a game in 15 hours in my first playthrough. I play on Hard ( feels like a normal mode) and i think i needed 5-6 hours only for the first location. Not because of enemys. I just read the dialogs and mails ecc. Are you trying to rush though, to release a video fast? Are you sure you enjoy the game? This is a shorter game, yes. But i hope there is high replay value. i will see.
I played on hard at first but I ran into guys with armor with my tiny pistol and I got fucked. I thought it was too much lol. Now I try hard and my companions die instantly so I may as well play alone... but I like companions
Moist Von Lipwig I take back everything I been playing for 11hrs and it’s way better than fallout 4 and I haven’t been doing the main quest. I really love the side quest
They probably could've create "special perks" associated with flaws that you cannot have access to unless you accept a flaw, or maybe you could have access to perks that you haven't unlocked yet...
Shibby120 I saw a bit of Deus Ex in it. But there were a lot of problems the older Deus Ex games got right like the proper saturation of lockpick tools and hacking devices. Still a great game though. Very enjoyable.
I'm really excited for this game. This video did have a bit of a "good, not great" vibe throughout though, which is a bit disappointing. I think the big negative for me will be the difficulty. It sounds like it will be a breeze unless you play on Supernova, but the limited Saves, limited fast travel, and the survival elements (unless done right) make that difficulty questionable
I was ready for end game by the time it showed up. In fact I think I kind of rushed the last city and Tartarus but it appears I did a lot more exploring and random killing stuff. It took me 45 hours or so. I felt like I was on Monarch for ever.
I’m 90+ hours in and still have a lot to do not to even mention the DLC packs. I’m amazed people can beat this in 15 hours but play times seem HIGHLY dependent on individual play styles with this game perhaps more than any other game I’ve seen besides Skyrim.
I cant tell if we all love it like we think...or just we all have reached such a point of desperation for a good game that we will take anything sub par and its gold. I am torn here...and I do love the game so far...but still, gotta be honest.
What a coincidence. I was planning to do one playthrough as a good guy and playing it seriously. And then, once that is done...go back and do a playthrough where I kill everyone and everything I come across. So don't worry boys!!! You aren't the only ones that think that full on anarchist playthrough would be fucking awesome!!
I am not understanding how people beat the game in the teens of hours some people are beating it in. I know everyone plays different but I am exploring, looting and have not skipped or botched any quests and about to hit 30 hours. I probably still have another 10 hours left at least of the game assuming the last locked planets are very short since I have not unlocked them. Although these guys put in some more hours than other reviewers I think a lot of this get rushed knowing you have to make a video review in a timely manner. This is an amazing game compared to what we got in Fallout 4/76. I came into this game with the slight disappointment of Fallout 4 on mind so this game really satisfied an itch I have had for years for a good standalone single player RPG and treating it as that.
My first playthrough which was pretty thorough, but definitely skimped on exploration in Byzantium, took me 35-40 hours. Immediately started a second playthrough with an entirely different build. I really don't understand the mindset of people complaining that a game is "too short" at that length. There are single player adventure games that can be completed in 1/4 the time and there are games that have near infinite replayability like The Binding of Isaac. To characterize this game as too short though, seems like most people who say that aren't all that into RPGs and have no interest in exploring, reading lore, and completing side quests.
@@ANDY_YTUBE You definitely left a lot of the game untouched. A considerable amount of sidequests are found by exploring and talking to NPCs away from the main quests. There are many map locations that won't appear if you're just sticking to the main quests and fast traveling. If you're not willing to explore in an RPG and only stay near the main quests, it's no wonder the playthrough took you only 11 hours. You basically took a speed run of the main quests. Imagine if you went to a restaurant, complained that they didn't give you enough food as you're paying your bill, yet you left 75% of your meal on the plate? That's exactly what you're doing with this game.
@@bqpceagle2005 Vast majority of people claiming completion times from 10-20 hours haven't bothered to explore, read lore, or exhaust the side quests. Much like ANDY here, who couldn't even be bothered to explore the world and find quests that weren't placed right in front of his face. Yet they want to complain the game was "short". Why are these people bothering with an RPG if they don't enjoy exploring and enjoying what the world has to offer?!
A good game without microtransactions. It doesn't suck. It doesn't over sell itself and leave you with nothing. Something to wash out the bitter taste of some of the latest AAA games to come out.
So I did one playthrough and jumped into a second one to find all the things I missed, didn't do most of the companion quests for example. Then after that I am still wondering if there are like 5+ locations I never went to. That said you don't play a game 12 hours in one sitting if its not solid. Only real complaint is a desire for more.
So i was actually watching this while playing my first playthrough, and i actually found something that will upset Ellie enough to leave your party. When she asks you to meet her parents with her, go with her, listen to the conversation between them, and then kill her parents. She gets pretty upset and says her debt to you is paid off and never wants to see you again. So im sure there are other ways to get them pissed off enough to leave you.
Obsidian said this was a 2A game from the start and that it was short, 30-40 hours for the AVERAGE gamer. You’re not average gamers. It’s a great game that doesn’t pretend it goes on and on forever. It plays way better than Fallout anything and you are whining?
I completed EVERYTHING. It took around 30 hours. But I took my time, so you could probably complete it in about 25 hours. So yeah, well estimated guys 👌🏼
I love this game. I saw ot for what it is going in. Because obsidian was actually transparent. It was a AA experience, so dont quite expect the most amazing game they arent in conpetition with cyberpunk. But its a very solid rpg that is made by people that care about experience. I'm sure they'll release solid dlcs and updates so the future is bright on top of a solid release. And they capitalized on the state of the gaming market so maybe theor next game will have a AAA budget. Which is why I fully support this game. These are the type of studios that need to stay around
I'm having a lot of fun playing this game but some of the enemies are hard to kill. Also you can get some really cool weapons to take them out it adds to the fun.
Art juh because not everyone jumps on the hate Bethesda bandwagon because of 76 most people see it for what it is a online game made to be like eso a place holder till fallout 5 releases most people pay attention when 76 was announced and know that Bethesda isn’t making any future games with online multiplayer star field, elder scrolls 6 , and fallout 5 and so on and as for wolfinstein young blood Bethesda published the game they didn’t make it Id software did and that wasn’t even the team that made the first two games there’s two separate Bethesda game studios and Bethesda soft works one makes games the other publishs the games
@@artje90 He's just parroting bullshit to keep his hopes up for TES6, everyone knows Bethesda in 2019 is not the same as Bethesda in 2011, TES6 will be a complete and utter failure. The diehard fanboys defend FO76 as an attempt to defend their hopes and dreams about TES6.
I got around 25 hours and I intentionally left a few things for the eventual replay but I don't think it was worth £50. It's a strong 7/10 for me. Enjoyable, well written, but not an all time classic.
I could agree that there's as not as much actual role playing than in some of their other games. I think maybe they wanted this one to have a bit more mainstream appeal and see how it did, then their next first person rpg will have more of it. That being said I still had sooo much fun with this game.
One thing that feels a bit messy is the consumables and their benefits are, for the most part, very very small. Think I've put in around 20 hours or so thus far really digging through all the side quests and such on hard difficulty and I've really never used a single one. There may be instances where they're needed, but I've yet to find any. In the meantime, they just take up space.
My first run IS an Anarchist run. And yes it's super fun. I feel kinda bad bout Edgewater tho..... Kinda. Povarati got over the death of her boss super fast!

Its official: Fudgemuppet is one guy with Multiple Personality Disorder.
You just now realized? It's what makes them so good at roleplay
Kinda like my ex girlfriend.
Forgotten Syrup your girlfriend was a guy?
I have Cyclothymia, its basically less extreme bipolar disorder...
Our man Fudgemuppet obviously has awakened his truest mental dysfunction, multiple personality disorder!
Logan Ross my ex girlfriend was a schizophrenic with DDNOS and 15 unique alters. Most of which interacted with at some point or another. We ended up breaking up because being several towns away and having to split our time together between 3 of them (I was with more than one) was getting way to hard.
This video sounds like one guy is talking to himself and very slightly changing his voice
Australians man.. they all sound alike
They briefly talk over each other but that could be clever editing
@@grefsteel3989 That's "racist"
We all do have that similar Aussie drawl I suppose lol
It probably is one guy. The guy who (claimed) he did a 15 hour speed run, then complained it wasn't long enough. He beat the game but never played it. People that lie about how long it took them to beat the game need to know that will never get you laid. No one cares. So either he is lying, or he did rush through the game on easy and has no right to complain how short the game is
Honestly, with everything that’s happened, we deserve a game like this.
Is that in a good way or bad way?
Rayhaan Williams Good way
Agreed when I tell people Outer worlds is exactly like Fallout 3 or New Vegas they think I am bashing the game but I am really not. RPGs like this got perfected in the early 2000s with Morrowind,Oblivion and F3/NV all we want now is better graphics and more polish,but instead we got over simplified RPG mechanics Micro-transactions and whatever the fuck Fallout 76 is.
@griffith did nothing wrong It's only 15 hours and no open world.
@ 15 hours is only if you rush through it, without much exploring side quests. Even with 25-30 hours it's on the shorter side, but with replayability as a selling point, I think that makes very much sense and is reasonable. Not to mention the several people that said they were very eager to play a new character right again to see how different choices will play out next time.
Honestly, with everything that’s been happening with AAA Developers, it’s about time we got a game that has actual Heart and Soul and doesn’t exist solely to rob the average gamer of all their money.
There's been a few good games recently and from a good chunk of their review this doesn't really sound like one of them. "Really good" in very few aspects and good in all others doesn't exactly scream passion project. Will have to wait until I can actually play it but so far from what I've seen I'm thinking I'd rather play GreedFall; story, factions, character, game world, lore and combat just seem more fun/complete((?), like what they pointed out about the character background in OW, seems like a half baked trait system along with the factions approvals) to me, but that's not to say there aren't improvements that could be made though.
It's a shame that this game that has actual heart and soul is on the epic games store though.
@@anthonylongoria2638 GreedFall is the definition of half-baked though
@@anthonylongoria2638 I'm willing to bet my left nut that Greedfalls characters have nothing on TOW's.
@@anthonylongoria2638 Haven't played Greedfall as of this writing, but TOW has more appeal to me because it is filling in that void that he RPG-lovers have been wanting since 2011! Also, Don't be a Judgmental A-hole, we have too many of those these days
The biggest criticism is that you were left wanting more...?
Aah~ I remember those glory days from the past!
Sounds like this is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of our modern AAA game fare?
I’ll be buying it as soon as I have some spare cash!
Just keep in mind , this is a double A title , what I'm looking foward to is The Potential for future Microsoft funded AAA sequels from this game. The future is looking bright for Obsidian
I mean arguably the fact its double A might be a good thing atm.
The triple A industry has been one catastrophe after another, and lots of people are actually anticipating outer worlds for the fact it isnt yet another triple A trash heap on paper.
Now mind you im buying it because i think it looks fun but still
Yea CDPR is a good one, Bethesda is pretty much dead at this point and I have little hope for their future games.
Microsoft isn't really to bad with micro transactions and they seem to leave those up to their developers. I guess the only down side is for Playstation players because futer titles will be Xbox and Windows exclusives
@Lúzia A Morta Well i cant say ive kept up as well on that front. But from what i have seen they are attempting a similar aspect but in an aggressive way.
Projekt Red is trying to actively stand against the current triple A norm, they dont want that idea to be "i think they might be different" they want "its different, and its different because everyone agrees the current system is awful".
Its an ingenious usage of current gaming politics and will certainly serve their game well sales wise.
Its kinda like indie devs rejecting epic exclusivity money. Sure you lose the money, but just the fact you took a revolutionary/pro-consumer choice is enough to earn huge amounts of fans/sales/free advertising via news and videos.
@@joshuabillings5108 Well, i wouldnt say bethesda is dead. Fallout is dead maybe for almost everyone, but bethesda still has the trump card of "The elder scrolls 6".
Anyone who played skyrim is prolly gonna buy TES6 if it isnt fallout 76 levels of bad.
Its kinda like steam and valve. If valve was ever really in danger they could put the number 3 on any of their three main series and watch sales ascend to untold levels.
Microsoft simarly has the advantage of being...well... Microsoft! They are MASSIVE already, if they drop even like 5 mil hypothetically on a game and it fails miserably, its still just kind of a small poke to the company. Hence they can afford to let companies have more autonomy
@@ZanderTheUnthonkable yea and ES6 will probably be full of Micro Transactions and FO76 mechanics.
I have no hope for the game. Especially with the new 100 dollar a year subscription service they just added to FO76.
I'm sorry but Bethesda has turned into EA
Really love just hearing you guys ramble, miss the podcast and twitch streams a ton. Glad you guys are having fun playing this game and talking about it, its been too long since fallout/TES fans have had a passionate spark about another game.
Funny...when New Vegas first came out it got so many average and some negative reviews but now it seems like its the standard for what action rpgs should be...funny
Funny... You're gay... Funny
@@andyskyfall3891 They're great games, but Assassin's Creed and Far Cry 3 aren't RPGs.
@@andyskyfall3891 A role-playing game (sometimes spelled roleplaying game; abbreviated RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of structured decision-making regarding character development. Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.
@Lúzia A Morta so mass effect and the witcher are not rpgs?
@@andreaslaban8908 nope! mass effect trilogy only carries the name, can you join the cerberus in the 3 and 1? could you help reapers? Or become a human supremacist and beat everyone? or put an end to humanity? or why could u not be any race?
it was a nice game with a very well built world but that world was only used as half of it's potential. but the game was everything but rpg.
about witcher, 1 was pretty much a role playing game but since 2 it has become an action adventure like skyrim.
God I love you guys. Your perspective and voices are my favorite place to hear about this game.
Looks like a mix of Bioshock, Borderlands, and Fallout.
3 great games blended together~
But sadly, clunky boring and looks like it was made in 2012.....
@Lúzia A Morta Yes i have and to your 2nd comment they are indeed a AAA sized company that have put out AAA size/funded games. They're owned by Microsoft aswell.
@Lúzia A Morta I don't think not being triple A is really an 'excuse' for much anymore, given how many great games/narratives have been made by single individuals and the more recent games (GreedFall made by Spiders for one) made by 20 member staffs
And Mass Effect
@@iamclldid you play on ps4?
It’s impressive how u beat it in 15 hrs. I’m 13 hrs into the game and I haven’t even made it to Monarch yet. I heard the game picks up a bit once u get there so I’m excited to see.
Need a drinking game where we take a shot everytime fudgemuppet says “good”
GOOD idea
Fredrik kirderf we gonna be drunk AF
There would be no survivors.
TheMarvelMaster123 exactly what I was thinking!!
Lord Mimir i felt the imaginary alcohol burning my chest Everytime 😂
Fudgemuppet RULES!!! "Left me wanting more" was the best thing you could've said to heighten my interest even more than it is. I already figured out that this game has a high potential for series of modular DLC add ons based on the world design. Just DL a whole new moon, planet or entire solar system, find your landing clearance and it's game on all over again in a whole new world. I see near limitless potential there. My primary interest here is the role play aspect and it sounds like Obsidian got that part right. I'm sure that Obsidian will listen to fan critique and respond in kind with updates as we go, unlike BGS who seems to only listen to cash these days. What they've done to my beloved Fallout makes me want to vomit. Apologies for saying that but truth is truth.
Thank you very, very much for staying on top of this bold new game and for all the awesome content that you mates deliver on the regular here at Fudgemuppet. You always get a like from me guys. For stuff this good there should be a "love it" button! :) lol
But, let me guess.... I'm hearing Scott and Michael today. So, I'm guessing that Drew is either still glued to the Outer Worlds in some insanely intense marathon play thru trying to break the game or creating yet another of your amazing TES lore videos. Let me know if either guess was right, please. Just my curious nature :)
Adventure on friends! :)
Look like it's a good, solid game. Not a GotY or anything amazing, but still solid. I think that's really all we can ask for out of a studio that straddle the line between triple-A and double-A production. For what it's worth, I think people will enjoy this game if they want a spacey RPG.
What other good games have came out this year?
@@sheikmohammad8724 may I say, A LOT, sakiro, devil may cry 5, cod modern warfare, gears 5, a plague tale innocense, RE2 Remake, and control. There are also a lot of dissapointments like rage 2, anthem, and wolfenstein young blood.
@@jgsource552 modern warfare and gears 5 are good games? Hahahaha, no
@@carpenoctem gears 5 is good, the campaign anyways, and no one can argue with that. Modern warfare, is said to be the best cod of all time so yes, they are both good games. Unless you are only accounting for microtransactions, then that's a different argument.
@@jgsource552 they say that about every CoD lol, it's meh it at least quenches that FPS thirst but its nothing revolutionary. It's CoD ffs, your typical arena arcade FPS that finally got okay graphics.
Just today finished my first playthrough. Took me 36 hours, and I didn't even find all the quests and stuff to do I'm finding out now that I am looking stuff up. Long enough for me...
Can we talk about that load time though, I swear once I hit Monarch it slowed to a crawl
Sounds like the need a higher difficulty where the flaws are harsher and enemies tougher. Hopefully we get a patch.
Supernova isnt hard enough? Id say play it on that and you would be retracting your statement pretty quickly....
Lol. All I’m saying is that it would be interesting to have the flaws you get through gameplay be more difficult with higher difficulty levels. I just wanna see the game be stellar because I love what obsidian has done for the RPG genera in the past. Not trying to shit on it. But judging by the reviews it could use some higher difficulty which I always like in an fps rpg.
Play supernova dude, everything ur complaining about is taken care of in supernova difficulty which is the parallel to survival mode in new vegas. You cant save scum in it either, so...
@@lunarvania8073 Supernova was only hard at first because my companions kept dying. Once I figured out you could set them to "passive" and order them to hide rather than run out in the open and die, the game has been a breeze.
This might be one of best most honest reviews out there on this game. Great job guys I feel like you covered this really well
That rifle at the beginning is dope
Yeah I was just wondering where they found that
Oh the hunting rifle. I never equpped it cause stats so low
@@neonbible08 weapon has their own level, upgrade them through the "tinkering" menu in workbench.
The thing about the length is that this is a AA game, not AAA. It was never meant to be a Skyrim type game. I'm loving every minute of it. And I'm already thinking about what the build will be like for my next playthru.
AA games shouldn’t cost $60 we are paying full price for half a game
Just finished my first playthrough, and I must say I'm very pleased with what Obsidian has done. I won't pretend the game doesn't have flaws, but overall I see in this a real contender in the open world rpg genre. And while, I'm glad they focused mostly on making a great game first and a potential franchise second, it ultimately left me wanting more; if they expand on and delve as deeply into this universe's lore as The Elder Scrolls and Fallout have, I can see The Outer Worlds really going places.
I'm still determining if it will have the same replay value of something like Skyrim or New Vegas, and though I have some minor gripes with it, The Outer Worlds has proven to me that there IS still room for innovation and passion out there in the gaming industry.
I wish the Outer Worlds team luck with their future endeavors, and hope they continue reminding folks the true potential in video games like this.
Thank you for the review guys! Was looking for a solid and honest one and here it is!

This is the gem I’ve been waiting for since Witcher 3
DRVP GVNG it’s an alright game lol
Honestly it was super fun for me... for the most part of the early game. After awhile,(im at byzenthium) everything feels same ish.
Combats not really thrilling, theres not alot you can do, shoot, ttd, dodge, run around while healing, use companion skill rinse and repeat.
The maps are generic af.
I find that im just slogging through the gameplay because im already invested in the story and writing, which is actually really really good.
Overall this game feels like a 7 for me. What do you guys think?
I think supernova!
20-30 hours is the same as the mass effect trilogy games. I much prefer this kind of game than the new blight of 100-300 open world RPGs where you wander off in an empty desert.
Fun is subjective, knock yourself out. Fallout 4 and Borderlands 3 are my current go to. I hope Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is working out for you.
That's exactly my point, I'm not saying that liking open world games is bad, and even I enjoy them occasionally. But I'm saying that it's very hard to find good ones in this day and age of MTX and loot boxes, in which companies are care more about wasting your time so they can extort money from you for "time savers". Fallout 4 is great and I return to it again and again; Fallout 76 is universally acknowledged as terrible, and not buying it seems like one of my better decisions. We live in an age where open world games are terrible by default, and should be avoided until proven otherwise. A condensed 20-30 hours game is optimal for most RPGs, because developers have trouble producing larger content and have finite resources, especially a double-A developer like Obsidian; the alternative is a game with 20-30 hours of "quality" gameplay and a 100+ hours of walking simulator. For example, HBS Shadowrun games are spectacular; average playthrough is 10-12 hours, but they're chockfull of action, lore and roleplaying, and very open for replayability.
Same, I really don't have the time for 100+ hour games
The Solmanian what games are you playing that have bad open world? Breakpoint? Every open world I have played lately has been amazing. RDR2 and days gone both kept me plenty busy so please explain what’s bad? I’m actually curious not a troll
All the open world games that liked? It wasn't because of the open world, it was despite of it. Even in the outer worlds, the long walks between objectives aren't the fun part, it's a hinderance to overcome... Great game, way too much walking though.
15 hours? You skipped everything lol
For real. It seems some people just rush through the game. Without listening to conversations, meeting all NPCs, exploring complete dialogue trees, taking time to upgrade weapons and armor for you and your companions, doing all main and side quests, exploring, looting, etc. it seems crazy to me that anyone could play this game fully in 15 hours. I see a lot of people in the comments saying they beat it around that time but just as many or more saying they are way longer into it and aren’t even close to finishing. I’m 90 hours in with plenty to do taking my time. This is a game world I enjoy spending time in.
Basically, The Outer Worlds is too agreeable.
so far I've got 19 hours on my main play through, i played around with different starting stats etc before choosing lone wolf stealth and pistols for supernova.
My main gripe is like what you guys said its not polarizing, the game doesn't naturally flow towards you picking a side. You can be adored by two factions right until you have to fight one for the other. You can easily be godlike at everything with no consequences and the perks and flaws aren't unique enough to create special characters for yourself just by playing the game.
i think the attribute system is a little strange, the flavour of the attribute doesn't really match with the mechanical effects of choosing it. the big example is intelligence with its critical damage increase for choosing it matched with weapon skills increasing hit chance rather than damage makes intelligence a must have for damage dealing characters not just smarty pants scientists/engineers.
Even more so when you realise science is the only skill to give you straight up damage increases with plasma, shock and science weapons all while making it cheaper to tinker your equipment for even more damage.
I've had this sort of off feeling while playing the game, a feeling that if it's slightly off the mark. It has everything i want there it's just arranged in a way that doesn't match up with what it could be, the game is good it just doesn't have that right mix to be perfect.
I think it would be more enjoyable if you put rules upon yourself and force yourself to stick to a pre-determined character and only take skills and make decisions that fit within your chosen archetype.
whew. that was longer than i expected.
It’s worth saying many of the original Fallout developer that worked on New Vegas have since left Obsidian.
Just finished first play through, this is probably my favorite single player rpg. I love the space / sci -fi themed games. Can’t wait to see what this studio does in the future.
I cannot wait for the mod community to stuff this game with more content, I also cant wait to buy any dlc obsidian puts out cuz they deserve it and I cannot get enough of this game
Thanks for the honest take 🙂 More polarizing options is the key to good roleplaying games. Its more fun when the outcomes are way different from each other, rather than being pretty similar. 👍
It sounds like you guys had unrealistic expectations for this game. They told us waaay off the bat it wasn’t a AAA game, they didn’t have the goods for it. So no fallout or Skyrim-sized servings. Yet you expected them to have a much more in depth system. I think what they had was simple with enough complexity to be very good for its size. Don’t belittle it because of what it lacks. It’s fantastic for what they could afford to put in it. Not a piece wasted. I think this will turn heads for rpgs to come. At least we pray people figure it out.
The way you guys talk about the main campaign reminds me of Dragons Dogma. The main story was over and I was like "wait what I'm already here?"
It looks fun! I’m going to get it, support the developers and even if it’s not “epic” or if I’m not “blown away” by it, I’m sure DLC will address some if not most criticism and we may even get a sequel that’s even better! 👍🏻
Hope so. From the looks of it, it seems kinda overhyped and a bit lack luster but overall solid game. I’ll probably wait a bit though to hear more about it
@Lúzia A Morta really? Well hope it’s good then still gonna wait though
There's so much content in this game its ridiculously dense. My gf has a totally different playthrough going opn and shes seeing things happen that I didn't get to see based on her actions. Theres even entire areas she was able to access because of her choices. I think people are truely not understanding what this game really is.
@@subsume7904 It's still brand new. People are still discovering the nooks and crannies. You will never get a full picture of the quality of a game when you judge it solely on the length of the main missions. Having said that, if you can finish the game within 20 hours even when you're doing it at a leisurely pace, completing side quests and all, maybe it is too short? I haven't played it yet so I don't know for sure.
i could never do this,talk to myself seriously for 30 minutes,amazing!
There's two people talking toe each otner micheal and Scott
I just picked this game up and yeah it’s pretty fun and addicting, it feels like a real RPG.
Lots of different paths you can take.
I think 15 hours is an understatement for the amount of content in this game unless you fast traveled throughout most of the game and only focused on the main story. I've been playing for about 20 hours now and I just arrived to Monarch.
Honestly.....it sounds like we need at least 2 big story dlc.
During the endgame, I was strolling around with Ellie, Parvati with a top hat, chimaera suit and the intimidation hammer with 100 in all dialogue skills.
The only reason I use companions in fallout 4 is to get their perks, and once I do that I send them away so I just end up cheesing it and use some save scumming to get their perks super quickly then sending them off to some remote settlement where I'll never have to see or hear them again looking at you Preston Garvy
One I get all of the companion perks I just use dog meat because he doesn't interfere with the lone wanderer perk and he has his own perk in the charisma skill tree that stacks with lone wanderer so once I have a companion perk their is pretty much no use for them anymore which was just sad
My game says I've played 1d 11h 50m and my main quest at the moment is to get the caffeine pills for Nyoka, so I think I've got a lot of the game still left.
My method is to just explore everywhere I can once I get to a new place, to kill all the enemies out there, loot everything, grind all the XP I can, before going to do any quests, main or side. Then I'll just do whichever quest I think I can knock out fastest, pretty much.
So... 15 hours to knock it out seems like you were pretty focused on knocking out quests as rapidly as possible. I would imagine most people play it more like I do than like y'all did, so 30-40 hours seems reasonable, to me.
Also, I appreciate the points you make about skill points and perks, but I like that I don't spend hours trying to get to the next level so I can *finally* get my character to level up 10 more times so I can get the perks I think are baseline necessary to be the character I want to be. Them not being things I felt were necessary but more, you know... perks worked for me.
The whole point of RPGs, to me, is to wipe out all the sidequests, do *everything*, and be OP. I don't know why you'd want to be challenged by the end of it; to me, the process of building your player up from weak to OP is the whole point; if I could only get to a point where everything was merely challenging instead of overwhelming, I'd feel let down, I'd feel like I didn't like my character that much.
Finally, I wasn't a big fan of the companions. I liked Parvati enough, but the others were merely fine. I wish there were more, I wish they were a little less generic.
Your point about partitioning off some characters depending on your faction is an interesting one; if there were closer to 12 companions rather than just 6, but no one playthrough allowed you to have more than, say, 9 would be interesting. And then maybe the characters - some, at least - may be a bit more firm in their beliefs.
@@SchulzEricT All very good points, friend! Just got the game.
We saw the same thing and came to different conclusions. I went Hard into my own combat ability and used the companions and clothing for speech and sneaky options, just jumping around and oneshotting, melee only and equipped the companions and clothes I thought would be beneficial for the upcoming speech check only skill I have at 100 is science, for that juici science weapon tinkering 😋
Oh the companions will leave you if you upset them enough and cannot pass a dialogue check.. Happened to me once already..
Thank you for being more critical of the game, still getting it.
I did a all around build. First play. And it really is the best choice. My damage output was crazy over 2k dps from maxed gun, stats for heavy, follower, perks gear. And I was a tank with 200% crit damage. All their gear was was op.
For me, the game could have been called "Firefly, The Video Game". Once I became the captain of an old space hauler, and my first two companions were a tomboyish engineer and a preacher I honestly felt like I was playing the TV series.
Even when you said it ended too soon and abruptly just when I'm hungry for more...yep, just like the TV series.
Having the hold filled with cows (which was a blatant Firefly easter egg) just sealed the deal, and that's how I played the game from that point on; just touring the galaxy sowing equal measures of mayhem and goodness. The main quest was in the background, the side quests became each episode in the journey....
I hope “good” is not a euphemism for mediocre
No this game is really good
Qasmoke Games you’ve been playing yourself?
@@ecreacher3515 yes it fills the itch between Knights of the Old Republic II and Fallout New Vegas
i don't think it'll be as dynamic or detailed as cyberpunk 2077 will be, I hate that you cant resume your gameplay after the end and see the reformations. hope for additional content
@BeGood 2Me Not even half. I'm getting a 'good' gaming experience in this game, not a 'great' or 'exceptional' one.
Leadership is basically the path for people who want to take the more social route and leave a lot of the combat for companions. I think that's probably why it can basically be used as an easy mode. I just left it at twenty to get the companion special abilities.
My guess is that the game at launch won't be received amazingly but once all the DLC,expansions and game improvements are implemented it will go down as one of the best RPGs of the generation simmilar to New Vegas
Probably.
I like this video and I've only begun playing the game but I mean I have over 100+ hours in The witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 4 and each of the other Fallout games. I also was able to squeeze 50hrs out of Prey a great immersive Sim and you could probably beat it in 15hrs. Exploration, side quests, and truly just how you play the game and at what speed you play will determine you hour amount I think.
Just started playing and I'm absolutely enjoying the game. Finally,a game that doesn't disappoint. The more and more Bethesda screws up the more and more I'm less excited for Elders Scrolls 6. I really hope that it is a great game; however, I'm not holding my breath.
Gygeson it’s pretty meh and I’m a huge fallout fan and even I think the outer worlds is just a mess and never reached a decent potential so meh
While I've enjoyed your content for years, hearing you guys rip on Outer Worlds for faction choices not feeling like they hold enough weight just seems a bit hollow - the two games you have the most content about, Skyrim and Fallout 4, don't have any consequences for faction choices.
Fallout 4 had consequences. There were different endings for different factions...
@@pelo9175 too bad all the endings sucked ass and the factions did as well.
The end of fallout 4 kill all other factions the end they all finish the exact same way lol this game is so superior to fallout 4 I can't believe they're even comparing them
Of you have hard time with supernova you can spent 2 hrs on 1st map to lvl to 6 or 8 then kill everybody on main storry you can skip half missions and finish speed run with about 5 hrs
i always wonder how youtube reviewers play such games. yes you do sidequests so you can talk about it. But i never ever could rush through such a game in 15 hours in my first playthrough. I play on Hard ( feels like a normal mode) and i think i needed 5-6 hours only for the first location. Not because of enemys. I just read the dialogs and mails ecc. Are you trying to rush though, to release a video fast? Are you sure you enjoy the game? This is a shorter game, yes. But i hope there is high replay value. i will see.
hard does feel like normal mode these days i have it with more and more games
I played on hard at first but I ran into guys with armor with my tiny pistol and I got fucked. I thought it was too much lol. Now I try hard and my companions die instantly so I may as well play alone... but I like companions
this is a double A title, and is still a better RPG experience than most AAA games recently. especially after FO4 and 76.
Moist Von Lipwig have u played it yet??! And 76 it’s a online type game not actually the next fallout series
Moist Von Lipwig I take back everything I been playing for 11hrs and it’s way better than fallout 4 and I haven’t been doing the main quest. I really love the side quest
ProtoCoaxke yea have u been to monrach cuz If u haven’t then make sure ur prepared😂😂
Jesus, the games not even out yet and you guys basically been playing the hell out of it.
Because it's super short.
They probably could've create "special perks" associated with flaws that you cannot have access to unless you accept a flaw, or maybe you could have access to perks that you haven't unlocked yet...
I wish the customization was bigger with the clothes and armor but that’s just me and it had 3rd person
it's a game made on a micro budgets support it and watch what obsidian does when they have a large budget
It’s an amazing game I just wish there was more of it
The game reminded me a lot of Deus Ex Human Revolution. Did anyone take any flaws?
Shibby120
I saw a bit of Deus Ex in it. But there were a lot of problems the older Deus Ex games got right like the proper saturation of lockpick tools and hacking devices. Still a great game though. Very enjoyable.
Parvati is amazing! ...and so is the cleaning bot, never underestimate the power of a clean space
If you’re playing on Xbox, pull up Spotify play Styx greatest hits (turn the volume of the app to 5%) and it’ll change the entire vibe of the game.
Played some more of this, fell in love.
The Hype is real,been a long time since genuinely anticipating a new release ,roll on Friday ,,Cool vid as always people
I'm really excited for this game. This video did have a bit of a "good, not great" vibe throughout though, which is a bit disappointing. I think the big negative for me will be the difficulty. It sounds like it will be a breeze unless you play on Supernova, but the limited Saves, limited fast travel, and the survival elements (unless done right) make that difficulty questionable
Can’t believe it’s almost here, hopefully this game has the lifespan of Skyrim
Doubt it. But that’s not an issue. Glad it’s not an open world game
JCore83 I heard that this game plans on DLC and Mods. It’ll definitely be like fallout at least
Lmao its like 15-20 hours
Nexus eh there wont be mods
Its great to hear your thoughts when all the other reviewers are on the hype train and overlooking the rougher edges
I was ready for end game by the time it showed up. In fact I think I kind of rushed the last city and Tartarus but it appears I did a lot more exploring and random killing stuff. It took me 45 hours or so. I felt like I was on Monarch for ever.
Mr House Actually came through he wasnt kidding :D
It’s a double A title and everyone’s expecting 100 hours, seriously?
I’m 90+ hours in and still have a lot to do not to even mention the DLC packs. I’m amazed people can beat this in 15 hours but play times seem HIGHLY dependent on individual play styles with this game perhaps more than any other game I’ve seen besides Skyrim.
Man every time he says yeahh it makes my stomach turn
I hope Obsidian makes more games in the future. I'm enjoying this plus playing through the dlc for the 1st time, and I'm loving it!👍
Excuse me for saying so but it sounds like the opinions of this game arent too high. Like not "Its bad" but also no "It lived up to the hype"
I cant tell if we all love it like we think...or just we all have reached such a point of desperation for a good game that we will take anything sub par and its gold. I am torn here...and I do love the game so far...but still, gotta be honest.
It sounds like Michael and I basically made the exact same build. I was going for a cyber-monk.
What a coincidence. I was planning to do one playthrough as a good guy and playing it seriously. And then, once that is done...go back and do a playthrough where I kill everyone and everything I come across. So don't worry boys!!! You aren't the only ones that think that full on anarchist playthrough would be fucking awesome!!
actually I always play full anarchist as default and then I do a good guy run afterwards.
You gotta do a dumb playthrough xD extremely low intellect changes the dialogue
I know this was a year ago but I’ve had companions walk out on me before. Maybe because of the high inspiration skill they don’t leave for you guys
Seriously misrepresenting the game's length hey.
No doubt. These guys aren't exploring very thorough at all. I easily put 15hrs into the first colony.
I am not understanding how people beat the game in the teens of hours some people are beating it in. I know everyone plays different but I am exploring, looting and have not skipped or botched any quests and about to hit 30 hours. I probably still have another 10 hours left at least of the game assuming the last locked planets are very short since I have not unlocked them. Although these guys put in some more hours than other reviewers I think a lot of this get rushed knowing you have to make a video review in a timely manner. This is an amazing game compared to what we got in Fallout 4/76. I came into this game with the slight disappointment of Fallout 4 on mind so this game really satisfied an itch I have had for years for a good standalone single player RPG and treating it as that.
My first playthrough which was pretty thorough, but definitely skimped on exploration in Byzantium, took me 35-40 hours. Immediately started a second playthrough with an entirely different build. I really don't understand the mindset of people complaining that a game is "too short" at that length. There are single player adventure games that can be completed in 1/4 the time and there are games that have near infinite replayability like The Binding of Isaac. To characterize this game as too short though, seems like most people who say that aren't all that into RPGs and have no interest in exploring, reading lore, and completing side quests.
@@ANDY_YTUBE You definitely left a lot of the game untouched. A considerable amount of sidequests are found by exploring and talking to NPCs away from the main quests. There are many map locations that won't appear if you're just sticking to the main quests and fast traveling. If you're not willing to explore in an RPG and only stay near the main quests, it's no wonder the playthrough took you only 11 hours. You basically took a speed run of the main quests. Imagine if you went to a restaurant, complained that they didn't give you enough food as you're paying your bill, yet you left 75% of your meal on the plate? That's exactly what you're doing with this game.
@@bqpceagle2005 Vast majority of people claiming completion times from 10-20 hours haven't bothered to explore, read lore, or exhaust the side quests. Much like ANDY here, who couldn't even be bothered to explore the world and find quests that weren't placed right in front of his face. Yet they want to complain the game was "short". Why are these people bothering with an RPG if they don't enjoy exploring and enjoying what the world has to offer?!
A good game without microtransactions. It doesn't suck. It doesn't over sell itself and leave you with nothing. Something to wash out the bitter taste of some of the latest AAA games to come out.
So I did one playthrough and jumped into a second one to find all the things I missed, didn't do most of the companion quests for example. Then after that I am still wondering if there are like 5+ locations I never went to. That said you don't play a game 12 hours in one sitting if its not solid. Only real complaint is a desire for more.
So i was actually watching this while playing my first playthrough, and i actually found something that will upset Ellie enough to leave your party. When she asks you to meet her parents with her, go with her, listen to the conversation between them, and then kill her parents. She gets pretty upset and says her debt to you is paid off and never wants to see you again. So im sure there are other ways to get them pissed off enough to leave you.
You can have parvati leave as well if you kill junie on there date I felt so horrible lol
Obsidian said this was a 2A game from the start and that it was short, 30-40 hours for the AVERAGE gamer. You’re not average gamers. It’s a great game that doesn’t pretend it goes on and on forever. It plays way better than Fallout anything and you are whining?
I completed EVERYTHING. It took around 30 hours. But I took my time, so you could probably complete it in about 25 hours. So yeah, well estimated guys 👌🏼
I love this game. I saw ot for what it is going in. Because obsidian was actually transparent. It was a AA experience, so dont quite expect the most amazing game they arent in conpetition with cyberpunk. But its a very solid rpg that is made by people that care about experience. I'm sure they'll release solid dlcs and updates so the future is bright on top of a solid release. And they capitalized on the state of the gaming market so maybe theor next game will have a AAA budget. Which is why I fully support this game. These are the type of studios that need to stay around
Can’t wait for the build videos!!!
I'm having a lot of fun playing this game but some of the enemies are hard to kill. Also you can get some really cool weapons to take them out it adds to the fun.
dunno about you guys... critical about outer worlds yet semi positive about fallout 76 at launch. really don't get it...
Art juh because not everyone jumps on the hate Bethesda bandwagon because of 76 most people see it for what it is a online game made to be like eso a place holder till fallout 5 releases most people pay attention when 76 was announced and know that Bethesda isn’t making any future games with online multiplayer star field, elder scrolls 6 , and fallout 5 and so on and as for wolfinstein young blood Bethesda published the game they didn’t make it Id software did and that wasn’t even the team that made the first two games there’s two separate Bethesda game studios and Bethesda soft works one makes games the other publishs the games
@@charlescase5268 have you played the game at launch? there is a reason fallout 76 is universaly hated
@@artje90 He's just parroting bullshit to keep his hopes up for TES6, everyone knows Bethesda in 2019 is not the same as Bethesda in 2011, TES6 will be a complete and utter failure. The diehard fanboys defend FO76 as an attempt to defend their hopes and dreams about TES6.
I know the developers have said they plan on adding mod support but does that cover console or is it only PC? I would assume only PC.
I got around 25 hours and I intentionally left a few things for the eventual replay but I don't think it was worth £50. It's a strong 7/10 for me. Enjoyable, well written, but not an all time classic.
"The companions wont leave us" have you tried murdering Ellie's parents?
I could agree that there's as not as much actual role playing than in some of their other games. I think maybe they wanted this one to have a bit more mainstream appeal and see how it did, then their next first person rpg will have more of it. That being said I still had sooo much fun with this game.
28 hours in, on my first playthrough. I am in love! Best rpg since Witcher 3, hell of a game, easy GOTY for me this year.
Will you guys be doing builds for this game because would be fun to see what builds you guys can make?
the main question about any game is "is it fun?" i think you gave it a "yep."
ah thoughts on video from fudgemuppet is prbably worth much more than most reviews ...
50 hours -> lvl 9 gameplay. Am like level 30 and only just finished the monarch storyline
Nemo did you crouchwalk everywhere?
@@Guy-hd5lx uh no. Got the cheetah perk tho
One thing that feels a bit messy is the consumables and their benefits are, for the most part, very very small. Think I've put in around 20 hours or so thus far really digging through all the side quests and such on hard difficulty and I've really never used a single one. There may be instances where they're needed, but I've yet to find any. In the meantime, they just take up space.
My first run IS an Anarchist run. And yes it's super fun. I feel kinda bad bout Edgewater tho..... Kinda. Povarati got over the death of her boss super fast!
