Looks like the Fallout/Mass Effect crossover I've always dreamed of :flutter: hope it delivers

[Mystic Mock]

It sounds good.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

:amazed:

[Nicky91]

looks good, and using Iggy Pop song The Passenger :clap2:

[Scarlett.]

It has the potential to be great, the industry has needed to have someone else other than Bethesda making these kinds of games for a while, hopefully the competition will push Bethesda a bit.

Also, great move by Xbox, letting Obsidian put the game PS4

[Ramsay]

Serious soft spot for Obsidian so I am HYPED

[Nicky91]

so basically it's on a different planet, sort of colonies

somehow i find this besides fallout vibe also a bit of The 100 vibe this colony on another planet situation

overall it excites me a lot

“Gameplay trailer” there’s about 30 seconds of gameplay ghjhh

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Releases on october 25th though :amazed:

[Scarlett.]

Cant wait for this!

[Toy Soldier]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm the engine looks very dated if we're being totally honest here. And I don't even mean "a few years" - I mean "2008 Fallout 3" dated. Deciding factors on this one are going to be the quality of the storyline, and whether or not it has other innovative gameplay features. Being honest if it's just a standard RPG+Shooter with a mediocre story, it's going to struggle.

Some of those animations are ... well they're something, guys.

[Scarlett.]

I think the more important part is its a choice heavy game, like Fallout New Vegas

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Idk what all that “AAA” stuff means but i read that this is only “AA” so does that mean it doesn’t have a massive budget/we should lower our expectations

https://i.imgur.com/DTBK1TM.jpg

[Scarlett.]

AAA is like Hollywood blockbuster
AA is kinda like a British film, still good, but much smaller scale
A is an Eastenders special

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

A is an Eastenders special

[Shaun]

B is Josiah's VeggieTales series?

[Toy Soldier]

You might need to get it on Ahmahzon or another games site... was it sold out in stores, or just not available at all? Might be on the niche side.

[Scarlett.]

Got it from Shopto :D

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

It’s out of stock at my local argos until thursday and tesco didn’t have it at all ;_;

[Toy Soldier]

So I decided to play a little and test it out, first thing I'd say is that if anyone is playing on PC, it does have some of the common ... "design errors" ... that UE4 games on PC are notorious for - namely, you need to tweak the .ini files to turn off mouse-smoothing and motion blur or it feels ... sludgey? But they're basically default tweaks and take 2 seconds so no major problem there.

Anyway, I decided to test out the Role Playing elements immediately aaand...

You can indeed convince the first person you meet to give you his gun, then immediately leave the conversation and shoot him in the face :joker:

I reloaded the save after tho, not actually planning to play "chaotic evil".

[Scarlett.]

I'm really enjoying it so far, wanted a game like this for so long

[Shaun]

[Shaun]

Watched the Snapcube playthrough of it and I want it even more now :worry: but my mum literally has no idea what else to get me for Xmas :joker: so I'll wait... I guess...

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Are you a youthful looking goddess though?

[Toy Soldier]

Oh you got ID's for age? :laugh:

Plot twist: he's actually not 18 yet and that's why he can't do online/digital purchases. Joined the forum aged 7 and never admitted it to anyone.

Here for you hating it.

“Please be advised that using the respecification machine will not make you a better person” aah i love her

[Toy Soldier]

Did you troll her by pretending you didn't understand what she was getting at when she said you "had to be captain Hawthorne"? :joker:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

No i played along :shame:

I thot i’d get a new gun out of it or somn

[Toy Soldier]

Game pass is a beauty boys

Just saw this: Yeah I got Outer Worlds for £1 :joker:. The PC version of Game Pass is only £3.99 a month which is a bargain in itself if it's going to have half-decent new releases, but they were also doing a 1 month trial for £1 and I reckon I'll be finished this in under a month so I can just cancel the trial. Bargain.

I'd have bought outright if it was going to be moddable, but it's UE4 and looks like it's not going to have mod support anywhere near Fallout/Skyrim levels... if any at all...

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Omg the guy with the moon hat on :skull:

[Toy Soldier]

It's not the best chooooooiiiice... It's Spacer's choice!

Also :skull: @

(very early game Saltuna Cannery spoiler)
Reed revealing that their canned Saltuna doesn't have any fish in it, its just mushrooms and random **** they find around the area and the "plague" is just that they eat nothing else :joker:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I wanted to put all my points into dialogue and stealth is that boring

[Toy Soldier]

Dialogue is easily the obvious best choice for this game tbh, I've put almost everything into that so far, but otherwise have gone for GUNZ over stealth. The combat mechanics are pretty generic tbh so might as well just have fun gunning everyone down rather than trying to stealth.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Yeah but i like having hack/lockpick to get more goodies

[Toy Soldier]

Ahh yeah I think I put a few points into it to get Hack to 20 so that I can sell stuff to vending machines...

[Toy Soldier]

Some of the dialogue choices in this :laugh:
