How does the game of the century not have a thread?

BECAUSE IT IS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
DELETE THIS THREAD

[Valter]

Funnily enough getting mocked is the only way this game will get any amount of attention, so... good job Obsidian?

[ThulsaDoomer]

I have to admit, hats off to Obsidian. They have achieved the unthinkable. This game is the most gayest pile of **** I've seen them produce yet. A true milestone. I look forward to it bombing in sales and Obsidian further nearing the gang plank of dead studios.

Ffs, the goggles don't even line up to where he/she would look. Great attention to detail.

"This masked assassin looks cool"
*revealed to be a brown 1 second later"
"This robot guy looks cool"
*revealed to be a brown 1 second later*
Brava!

Yet another peg legged character btw

Considering Avowed cannot crack triple digit daily player counts I'm really not sure there's anybody who cares about this game.
It has to be somewhat gut wrenching to be working on something like this knowing that the writing is pretty much on the wall that it's going to fail to get the same level of interest as a mod for a bethesda game.
I'm really not sure why they bothered with a sequel in all honesty. Have you ever met an Outer World's fan? Seen any sort of cultural impact? Been recommended the game by a single soul?
The only time I even remember it exists is when Tim Cain occasionally brings it up in his youtube videos and even then it's infrequent because no one gives enough of a **** to ask questions about it or anything.
Obsidian genuinely makes games for nobody.

Only reason it was notable was because it was releasing shortly after Bethesda announced Fallout 1st (FO76 subscription) and the fallout community was trying to bandwagon outerworlds

They were blessed with an extremely perfect situation to one up bethesda and generate hype around their new IP. Completely squandered it with their off putting and cringe inducing presentation.

It's really funny how they've kept touting that you can't romance the companions, like with the first one.
One of the companions is a **** and her companion quest is finding her a girlfriend.

[rusty_shackleford]

One of the companions is a ****

akshually, she's asexual and an insert for the writer which is why you aren't allowed to say anything mean to her
but because tim cain mandated that everyone be killable you can just kill her not-girlfriend right in front of her

[rusty_shackleford]

I want that conversation to feel like a safe space for the players who are playing it and identify with it,” she said. “I don't want to pull the rug out from under them and say, ‘Haha, actually you're a joke,’ or ‘other people think you are a joke.’ [...] I don't want to write a homophobia simulator. [laughs] That's not what I got in the game writing for.

► Show Spoiler

Players should be able to play an RPG the way they want, and they don’t need my moral judgments getting in the way of how they have fun. I also am not a fan of pre-determined attitudes and alignments for players-my hope is that at the end of the game, they’ve answered the question, “What kind of character am I really, and how did that depart from what I thought I would be?” I always considered Torment a sort of role-player’s experiment, where each incarnation of the Nameless One had the potential to be a different personality and a different type of gamer, depending on the choices he made in the game world. It’s echoed a bit in Alpha Protocol at the end of game with Leland, where he asks if you became the person you set out to be when you joined the agency, and it’s something I like to keep asking players when possible because moments of self-reflection never hurt.

"Concord got a sequel?"

It's getting several sequels.

[ThulsaDoomer]

Have you ever met an Outer World's fan?

Agreed, they represent the pinnacle of DEI in its pandering to an audience that does not play video games and only exists as online "support". In regards to meeting a genuine Outer Worlds fan, I have met a single one when I was still active in the Morrowind modding scene.

The man in question is an Oregon libtard anarchist, total degenerate type. He tried pimping out these fat, ugly trailer trash women to me and ran some child groomer fan group for Pokemon spindas. Long story, suffice to say it's not hard to bait people into admitting sensitive information. Not looking good for modern Obsidian fans.

Cool part about it taking 10 years to make a game is you get to see what culture was like 10 years ago

There are so many ******* in this game you'd think it was German.

Better you can trick her into killing her roastie GF. But somehow she will be angry at player for that.

[Mikeal]

I bet it will have six gorillion players on gamepass just like Ałałe.

No romance, but you do have a customisable **** chair.

[Roguey]

Looks fun enough, going to get it at a steep discount. Aza a cute.

[sheet]

I imagine most Outer Worlds 1 purchasers were just tricked New Vegas fans or disgruntled Fallout fans. I don't think that goodwill still exists for OW2 as seen by Avowed's sales performance.

You thought a couple of the companions in Outer Worlds were insufferable DEI vermin?
NuObsidian heard you. They've fixed it the only way they could bring themselves to.

Now they're ALL disgusting!
Enjoy.

*at the end of the trailer*

"And no... you can't sleep with them."

Umm....

[Rand]

"And no... you can't sleep with them."

Can I at least blow them out the airlock?
Please!

Something tells me the game will be heavy cucking factor on that front.

[Vergil]

Really good move to make the lack of companion romance a selling point in your RPG game trailer in a post Baldur's Gate 3 world.
I could be a billionaire if they just put me in charge of one of these doomed to obscurity ****** RPGs. The formula is so easy.
Just add a couple of the same generic character archetypes gooners (male and female) enjoy and you can coast off of that alone.
It would be just as insufferable but at least it would make sense to have a party full of waifubait and Allistair Zevran clones instead of unfuckable brown blobs that a couple of mentally ill freaks on bluesky will pretend to like for a week and then go back to drawing ftm Astarion or whatever the ****.

"Two hands are better than one, one hand is better than none."

This is such Reddit-tier humor.

[Tweed]

The only thing people care about in modern RPGs is being able to **** the companions.

I can see why they doubled down on this stuff. The humor was one of the most praised and not at all despised aspect of the first game

Also really tired of this gay irony poisoned plucky underdog shtick they do. You are a subsidiary of Microsoft you are not an irreverent outsider.
