This is a great pair of games in Game Pass.

It's amazing how Era can take the very positive reception of a game and make it thoroughly fucking miserable.

They're nothing alike, Disco is dialogue-based with no traditional combat

Nothing alike? They're computer role-playing games in which you inhabit a character and make choices? Disco Elysium draws on games that were made by people who worked on Outer Worlds.

Let me put it another way: I'm not sure I can play any other singleplayer narrative games for a while after Disco, because it would be unfair to the other games.

I havent been following too closely as I want to go in blind, but is it "open world"?

It has a hub world like Borderlands and KOTOR.

This bodes well since Gerstmann is a grumpy old dude who doesn't like anything.

GreatBriTom · Oct 22, 2019

Man, I'm even more hyped now than I was! Didn't know that was possible.

Silver9 · Oct 22, 2019

I was going to play on normal but looks like hard is a way to go.

Bosch · Oct 22, 2019

Great reviews. But I will need to wait to play. Friday is cod day.

both in gamepass
both EGS "exclusive"
both 86 on metacritic

Thats the spread of reviews I wanted to see.

Obsidian delivers again.

This can't be a coincidence

That was honestly my thought when I saw the tweet, only without the /s. Most of GB's podcast discussions at this point feel like them going through the motions more than anything, East and West.

Alex840 · Oct 22, 2019

I hope they get a bonus for getting more than 85 on Metacritic.

Foxnull · Oct 22, 2019

Great reviews. Won't get it Day 1, though. For me it's not long enough for full price.

fieldafar · Oct 22, 2019

Obsidian is back!

Witness · Oct 22, 2019

Fantastic reviews! So excited for this!

I dont think Outer Wilds is on Gamepass on PC, so sadly still EGS exclusive for now :(

Welcome to review threads

SmartWaffles · Oct 22, 2019

Any idea on average playthrough length?

tapedeck · Oct 22, 2019

This is the exact type of game I wouldn't play if it weren't for gamepass..seeing these positive reviews is just icing on the cake for me trying something new. I love this service.

At least most of the arguments aren't about the reviews or game itself. I'm not sure if that's an improvement, actually.

Easy Allies

Already happy with the score, now i am waiting for those. :D

Wont be one from me for awhile.

Vilifier · Oct 22, 2019

I'll be grabbing this Day 1 once it's released for Switch. Hopefully it's out before the end of the year.

I hope the bonus is they get to dropkick Metacritic into the sun.

Never before have two games been so mixed up in my head.

Great scores though, congrats to Obsidian!

The few reviews I've glanced at mentioned 30-ish hours.

Khatoz · Oct 22, 2019

Scores seems to be on par with what people predicted, at the end if the feeling of new vegas is there, it will be a great game for me.

Congrats to Obsidian, already have the game installed via Gamepass, can't wait to jump in. I just have to finish up Metro Exodus...

For me it is but with how Obsidian handles DLC/endings I'm gonna have to wait to see if any major story DLC is coming out first before jumping in.

Jameson · Oct 22, 2019

Page updated on the Xbox gamepass pc app, That there will be achievements for the game on PC. Someone was concerned about it earlier in this thread but I don't want to go back and find the post to quote.

Inuhanyou · Oct 22, 2019

Obsidian earned their bonus pay this time. Thinkin of picking this up at some point but since the next wont be on ps i hope the ending doesnt have a sequel hook

Thanks for sharing the poll with everyone :)

No bother at all.

For anyone interested the OT will go up tomorrow evening. I'll be tallying the results of this poll then - so in just over 24 hours.

Looking forward to it. Era's first Fallouty game!
