i have no idea what people see in ship combat. Like, big slowass turning circles where you strafe shots at eachother that reload too slowly, c'mon it completely sucks.

Skate 2 and 3 are completely and utterly unfuckwithable even to this day, with the sole exception of the missions where you have to essentially do this but with freestyle skating

I was so good at tony hawk and so trash at skate. Even a simple task like manualing over a bench felt so weird and alien, even though I recognize skate as being a very good series I just sucked at getting my guy to do anything right at all in that game.

Shooting the ship is just something you do before you get within ramming distance. But if the game has no ramming/boarding then yeah it sucks

If you had any talent as a writer, why on earth would you go into video games? Daytime soaps are more prestigious. Video game writer is the most shameful profession, and the very bottom of the industry's totem pole.

it's an easier gig to pick up than daytime soap writer. besides, everyone thinks that if they make the right connections, they'll become lead writer, or maybe, just maybe, director

shortly before they're laid off two weeks before launch

e: not that i have any room to criticize i wrote a game where a dragon smokes weed with a bunch of wizards who are so high that they have a short term memory window of ten seconds

notoriety though, maybe they get a lot of that in hollywood circles who knows. but prestige lol no

though i am not a fan of the "real-time VATS" in Outer Worlds or Fallout 4. i was always a VATS whore in New Vegas and i didn't really play the game like a shooter. forcing me to play the game like a shooter instead of an RPG is kind of frustrating

Your killer track.




Gameplay videos have me kinda feeling the same thing. I'd love a new Fallout but the Outer Worlds combat just looks like Borderlands in that I'm shooting at giant bullet-sponge monsters. I imagine I'll play it eventually but I'm not really in a rush.

It's really bland and empty, like they had too abandon a lot of world building and detail to get it shipped with the main story intact. There are like 6 weapons in the game, and progression is mk1, mk2 etc with the same models. Armor is worse. And there's pretty much nothing to explore or discover in the world outside of locations where a quest from a town will lead you. It's like new Vegas if you stripped out most of the gear and almost every quest/location that wasn't required for a main/faction quest

I am enjoying the game. I just picked up a flamethrower and burned an angry alien dog

Unfortunately I also accidentally did a crime in Groundbreaker which turned everyone hostile so the entire station started shooting at me. Right now I'm contemplating just murdering all of Groundbreaker to see what happens

I dont know how much actual gameplay time is in Outer Worlds if you do everything efficiently and just rip through it but its very pretty and the variety of weapons is good enough that I'm still just having fun running around plugging the living poo poo out of everything, talking to interesting people and not bothering to look at my quest log at all. I hated the Witcher 3 so my opinions on what makes a good RPG are fuckin worthless obviously but i'm having a good time and I like it.

Gamers are horny, OP. And considering that porn games keep making their way on to the Steam best sellers list it's only a matter of time before Blizzard drops the pretense of gameplay and gives them what they really want.

Uh... Kupo?

A depressing amount of people power game through everything and it ruins lots of games. Like, looking up guides on how to build a character, skipping conversations/cutscenes, trying to complete quests as fast as humanly possible. Doing any of these things at all in any RPG will just ruin it.

Sometimes it's fun to roll a big dumb drug addict. I liked to play F:NV as a big dumb idiot that always did all the drugs I found the minute I found them and it was really cool! Much funner than my stealth sniper playthrough that's for sure.

If you don't like reading, don't ever play a story-based game because let's be real they never have very great gameplay.
