This is fantastic. Say what you will about it looking a couple years behind the times, the core design loop from New Vegas is there, and it's just as good as it was back then.

Seeing the number of skill checks present in the game is heartwarming. They've put a lot of thought into how to branch the quests as well. It's going to be good to play a proper 3D RPG again.

yeah i can preload on my X (37 gigs) but on PC all I get is a 10mb "stub" that doesn't let me do anything else, guess a few more days (or release) to preload on PC/w10

i'm fairly excited although i'm also sad that they are gonna launch the same day as Call of Duty Modern Warfare, that seems like a huge mistake

doesn't seem like the game is cross play/save either so I have to decide whether to play on PC or X, leaning towards PC for now

I haven't signed up for Game Pass yet, so the first month will be $1. So you bet I'll subscribe when I am ready to play.
I'll be waiting a bit though, since there are other games coming out around the same time I want to play, and it'll also give Obsidian time to patch it up and make some balance changes which will most certainly be needed.

I'm gonna wait until the reviews drop. I like sci-fi games like this, but every time I watch gameplay videos all I see is Fallout, and I've had enough of that outdated Bethesda engine for the time being. I'll probably wait until the pre-Christmas sales. It's sure to drop in price by then.

The gameplay is exactly Fallout/TES, though. Don't even attempt to tell me otherwise. The specific engine it's running on doesn't mean it wasn't all copy/pasted right over.

The gameplay seems to be an evolved Fallout New Vegas, which I personally am excited for.

This seems a little close to Lazy dev rhetoric.

I'm pretty excited for it, but I think I might wait on it for a bit. I'm currently getting my BG/BG2 PS:T/IWD fix on for a good while.

I'm not trolling at all. The gameplay is absolutely Fallout/TES. And that's fine. But I've put so much time into those games I'm really not in the mood for that type of gameplay anymore.

Its nothing like TES, specially not skyrim: i dont know if you watched any of the videos, but this is actually a rpg, with actually meaningful choices.

As if its "more New Vegas" well yes it is and they said as much. Thats the selling point actually.

I watched the 40 minute video and the more recent 20 minute video IGN posted the other day. I saw a reskinned Fallout. I don't know why you're trying to tell me I didn't see what I saw.

The gameplay part of your post is fine. I disagree, but it's fine. It is all the talk about the engine and saying they just copied and pasted that is nonsense.

I'm thinking of playing through the Space Quest games for the first time in forever and then create a Roger Wilco in this and pretend this is the real Space Quest 6.

I rarely preorder games, but I enjoyed everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I have played from them. I know I'll enjoy this, too.

According to Obsidian's communications director Mikey Dowling, players shouldn't expect The Outer Worlds to contain an open world as massive as Fallout New Vegas. Instead, they ought to anticipate the studio's approach to the game's size, scale, and scope to be similar to that of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 "with potentially more ground to cover and explore in each area". As explained by Dowling, there will be two planets in TOW, and they're not technically open worlds, but rather large environments with several areas to explore, and others cordoned off.

Ive been looking forward to this since they announced it. I haven't even watched more than a minute of preview. Obsidian games at their worst are flawed gems (and this looks to be better than that). So yeah, Im ready for this.

Anyone else find it very weird seeing an Obsidian game featured in a Taco Bell commercial? Saw this on reddit:

Being owned by Microsoft is paying off.

But yes if you would have told me that an Obsidian game was going to be in a Taco Bell commercial like it was the next Halo or Fallout I would have called you crazy.

Just FYI, you can easily get a year or Xbox Live or something for probably roughly $40 in the next month or so, and then do the $1 game pass and it'll convert your Xbox Live to Game Pass Ultimate as well.

So basically you'll have 13 months of Game Pass Ultimate.

I have like 2 years and 8 months left of game pass lol. Not bad for $90.
