it's been fine? pretty forgettable though. just a bunch of fetch quests and ludicrously overpowered weapons. i can't imagine paying the $70 or whatever this game is at full price i mean lordy

they clearly put a poo poo ton of work into the game and forgot to write an interesting story

does it have psychic powers and stuff like mass effect or is it just various guns/lasers/melee weapons?

the latter though for flavour you can find "science weapons", each usually unique, that do weird stuff. shrink ray, levitate gun, staff that sucks enemies toward you, etc.

edit: plus it runs great on my old-rear end pc with its 2012ish cpu and r9 nano (which i got on sale and imho always punched above its weight)

yeah this is my exeperiance too. i played it recently, it was bland but running around and shooting was alright. though if i had to pay anything for it it would have been worse. it was free on that microsoft games pass, and my current 1 year pass of that was free on top of it.

speaking of, i should play something else off the game pass thing while i have it, idk what though

the core of it is that windows store apps are protected from file modification, but it looks like they're enabling it for certain games by adding symlinked folders or something where you can stick your mods so they game can find them. for most mods that probably works, but for things like config file editing or intro video deleting its probably not gonna help.

i dunno, considering they built modding into the console versions of fallout 4 it seems unlikely. it’s 100% possible to allow mods on pc game pass games.

the science weapons sound fun, thanks for the info! idk if ill ever actually have time for a game like outer worlds but it sounds like id enjoy it. realistically i'll probably never get to it due to opportunity cost, though, unless it's both a great pick-up-and-play game and the switch version runs well (i am skeptical about both)

the problem is PC mods can do way more poo poo to the game files than the console mods and unless the windows store versions start letting you modify all the files rather than just adding new files then it really limits what you can do.

I liked outer worlds enough to finish it but it was pretty mediocre compared to F:NV. I did like the science weapons though and the story gimmick where your created character was yanked from a stasis pod was kind of fun

i think i got near the end of the game cause i was gonna do some big fight but i passed a speech check that made all the bad guys neutral to me. All the allies i had made in the game still showed up and started attacking them so im kind of walking around this huge area where this massive fight is going on but nobody wants to attack me.

then after climbing a bunch of ladders the game crashed and i just gave up on it

fs2020 on pc via game pass lets you mod existing files, you just... go to the folder the game installed the planes to and edit what you want, etc.

Man, subnautica is really good. I remember thinking the cyclops seems at least a little bigger than the seamoth, I'll just get that and call it quits for this game.

That was 10 hours of game time ago.
