Ya know... if they had spent a single second on the story instead and maybe made a cohesive plot that followed anywhere close to the first instead of phoning in the bullshit they did...it might have been a bit more well received.

    Never played BL4....so can't comment. As far as OW2... they had a decent bit of potential to work with...and instead went a different route entirely

    I read this review and absolutely agreed with it.

    Fallout works because they wrote a really compelling real world. Then, they sprinkled jokes.

    Outer Worlds went the other direction. They wrote jokes, and tried to build a world around that. The Borderlands comparison is accurate.

    And it's not like the world lore sucks. Using Borderlands as an example: Tales from the Borderlands focused on a compelling story first.

    Which is kind of crazy because I don't understand how they made the original Fallout 1&2 and New Vegas. Like, they created this style of storytelling.
