Time to join patient gamers who wait for a sale
You can probably wait for this one to be free, or at least bundled.
I am officially done buying games on release. None of these games are worth 80 bucks.
Do you wanna spend 80 dollars on a new game, or wait a year and buy it for 10 dollars when it works and is actually finished?
WHERE CAN I PRE ORDER IT FOR 120 DOLLARS TO PLAY IT 3 DAYS EARLY AND PAY TO BE A PLAYTESTER?
Like i’m not surprised why games are this expensive.
That’s the kicker. Getting games on release now feels like early access. I’ve been hyped for a few games in day one and there’s either server issues, driver issues, crashes, what have you. These things are so rushed they need a year to be finished.
By then you’ll know if it flops too, avoid getting caught in the hype.
People are struggling to buy groceries.
CEO: Let’s raise the price of a good people don’t need because money.
I can only hope this move backfires spectacularly.
It’s The Outer Worlds. It will.
The first game was shit. The game it was confused with became the greatest game ever made. Go buy that one instead.
No man’s sky is not anywhere near the greatest game ever made. Id honestly take outer wilds over either game being discussed. Outer wilds has a charm that’s impossible for a AAA studio to match, and it’s a solid gravity sandbox besides that.
The NMS game loop is just trying to make number go up as efficiently as possible for nanites and credits. It’s not fun. It is and always has been a grind.
This was peak satire given you genuinely thought that they were talking about NMS and then proceeded to talk about Outer Wilds, the true game that OP was referencing, by accident.
I’m pretty sure they meant Outer Wilds, which is one of my top games of all time.
Great game, but wildly different type of game
Where does No man’s sky come from ? How could it be confused with The outer worlds ? People confuse it with outer wilds, both no man’s sky.
Other commenter said NMS, I confused it with this one thinking they were talking about the same thing.
What game was it confused with?NVM, I just realized it was No Man’s Sky. Though I seem to recall that the launch of that game was also a shit show. I’ve heard it got much better as time went on.
No, they’re referring to The Outer Wilds. They’re absolutely right, The Outer Wilds was infinitely better than The Outer Worlds. Granted, they were doing different things but holy shit I wish I could replay Other Wilds for the first time again. One of the best experiences ever!
Nope, Outer Wilds.
Ya’ll remember when pirating was massive.
Yeah let’s do that again.
Lol $100 games haha
Yea, no thanks dawg. First game was boring AF, and on top of that, now you want 80 bucks?
I’ll wait a year or two.
No thanks. The first was not good enough to warrant buying the second at $60, let alone $80.
Agreed. $40? Id think about it and probably wait for a sale anyways. $80 is just laughable and completely removes any temptation i had to check it out.
Best of luck with that. I got the first game for free and still haven’t played it. I say that as a fan of obsidian/old Bethesda i.e. the person you should be trying to get buy your game.
It’s kinda mid, id suggest Tainted Grail if ya want a Bethesda like game. Doesn’t quite scratch the itch but it’s close enough.
Better than Starfield as a sci-fi RPG. Had some pretty boring balance choices imo. Dialogue was decent but I didn’t really love anything.
Yeah, I don’t like it, but mid is fair… And I’ll buy #2 anyways if the reviews hold up.
People are free to complain about the price point but it’s pretty absurd to think gaming is somehow immune to inflation.
I’m now replacing this game with Clockwork Revolution to keep an eye on since it’s the producer of the first 2 fallout games.
I’ve seen some previews, looks cool!
You should definitely play it, it’s a cool game.
I was probably a bit uncharitable. TBF it is on my backlog of games I intend to play. It’s just not a game I would want to pay $80 USD for based on what I’ve seen review wise.
Yeah the first is absolutely a “get it on sale” game
Pass.
Game Pass! 😜
Even if it were available on Linux, GamePass isn’t the value it once was.
It’s indeed worse. I cancelled at least half a year ago. Standard practice these days, lure consumers with great value for money and then make it worse by the day - line goes up! <insert cat-newspaper-meme: I should be a CEO />
Was there a big contingent of people waiting for a sequel? I recall the original game being massively hyped and actually being pretty disappointing once I played it.
Nah. I’m good.
even if wages increased with inflation and 80 dollar games weren’t so distressing, the first outer wilds fucking sucked and I have no hope for the sequel
I don’t know. It seems like they’re addressing the issues that the first one had. It was too safe and far too full of itself. It should have just been one big planet and a bit less goofy. Seems like the next one is shaping up for that. Also, if there is a game company that I trust right now it’s obsidian. I was super disappointed with the ending just being the same slides they used for new Vegas, hopefully we at least get a more satisfying ending.
It was okay
Guess I’m waiting another two years after launch for this one too.
Two years after The Outer Worlds: “oh mods will make it better, I got it for free”
They didn’t.
I respect the same for the second game. But also free. And wasting SSD space.
Did microsoft really already forget about Doom The Dark Ages?
