Then I won't touch either. I am not giving Microsoft money.

Ugh. I hate subscriptions, people parroting this "just get gamepass, it's cheaper" is just silly. Once they got you hooked in- they'll increase the prices for sure.

Like others said, it is mostly done to make gamepass more appealing vs the 80 bucko's.

I say No to either and settle for i'll wait for a nice good sale at some point in future time.

I loved The Outer Worlds, it was just my kind of game, but after having watched the new trailer for The Outer Worlds 2, I am worried, the story seems unfocused and messy and some of the weapons seems to just be a big generic blob design.

This being said, I will do what I normally do, wait until release and watch as my favourite youtube gamer shows it on his channel, after one or two episodes I'll buy it and stop watching if it is good.

It was also short. For 80 dollars I would expect 120 hours in game like RDR2. That's the bar. If it's not that long, I think I finished the first one in 25, then I'll happily wait until it's lower

Same. I was willing to keep Outer Worlds 2 on my radar because I love Obsidian and they've earned my attention even though I didn't particularly enjoy Outer Worlds 1, but at that price point the game has dropped off my radar. Unless it's getting New Vegas level praise post launch I probably won't be paying any more attention to this game.

That and the completely garbage inventory with no good filter and sort.

That first game felt like a demo with lot of polish but didn't feel like a precursor for an $80 game. And already cost me $30 for the first time of meh.

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.

You can probably wait for this one to be free, or at least bundled.

Same here, though I heard middling reviews for the first game, so I probably won't play it regardless. Not that I'd pay $80 for a videogame anyways, lol. Even if it was HL3.

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.

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.

Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

I also found it underwhelming which is a shame because I generally love Obsidian RPGs. They did a much better job with Avowed recently in my opinion.

I played it in the hospital waiting for my wife to go into labor haha. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I remember it. I tried to replay it recently and made it about halfway through before moving on.

I ain't paying $80 for it and there's no game pass on Linux. Guess I'm waiting for a sale. 🤷

I was interested in Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky around the same time and played OW first.

I enjoyed it while I played it and completed the story of the main game.

Then I played NMS and enjoyed that a lot too but when I went back to OW for the DLCs I got bored quickly.

Outer Worlds just seemed less fun after No Man's Sky.

Game Pass! 😜

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.

You should definitely play it, it's a cool game.

Does the quality differ? I think it makes a great discussion and maybe a good analogue of current economic state of affairs

Edit. Nvm read quovadishomines post

I have paid roughly the same price for 3.5grams of cannabis since 1992. The quality has vastly improved but the price remains the same. That does not suggest that inflation is bullshit.
