The Outer Worlds - Epic games exclusive

Ok cool. Sounds kinda similar to games such as Kotor or Mass Effect but first person.

RPG Elements from Fallout
Worlds like KOTOR or Mass effect
And a few bits of bioshock thrown in for good measure sums up the whole experience
 
Enjoying the crap out of the game so far. Definitely a lot of inspiration from games like Kotor, Bioshock and a little bit of Fallout.

Dunno if it's the colour palette or filters but I also get this "visually" No Man's Sky feeling. Still a nice game, with surprisingly good shooting.

In the first area it feels very "No Mans Sky" but it changes when you go to the different worlds.

later on in the game the shooting gets so easy its just minor obstacles in the way, you literally walk around one shotting everything. Wish they had made some kind of scaling system or slowed the experience gain down a lot.

Still a fun game and I enjoyed it.

You do know that it are the publishers participating in those sales, it aren't selective, and neither is it Steam telling them to do so. To let you know, it is the Ubi Spring Sale,

https://store.ubi.com/de/spring-sale

and MANY other publishers are also participating in similar sales. Not to mention, that in Steam's current setup they have more exclusives than any other digital store.

Epic is only starting out. Yes, they need to be polished, but they did set their milestones they want to achieve in public.

Those punting in every nook and cranny that 30% revenue share is the industry standard are dumb AF. Mainly due to their inability to understand a monopoly and market disruption. By that same sentiment everyone must then be happy with DSTV’s pricing, this is nothing more than selective activism, activism to protect a monopoly…

I’m against the exclusive scheme Epic is running, but they are giving publishers better deals at the moment and unless Valve don’t review their current B2B plan and market strategies more publishers will leave Gabe behind.

Good Guy Valve -> https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/16/15622366/valve-gabe-newell-sales-origin-destructive

It is time that Valve shares their sandpit with the other children.

Good 'ol Polygon, the bastion of journalistic integrity.

80% of the article seem to be the writer trying to project his own feelings onto the reader.

I forced myself to read it and what a pointless article.
I'd take him seriously if he wrote a balanced article and mentioned some positives like Steam Proton, In-Home streaming, remote play together and the new steam container feature. I guess all these features were wished into existance by fairies with their magic fairy dust and didn't cost a cent.

When did these mentioned services launch?

Fair enough but i'm sure there were some positives to be said about valve back then too so my point stands.
The writer is trying to make valve out as all evil, like they are just hanging around raking in money.
 
First, the original launched as an Epic exclusive. Then its sequel launched at $80, now reduced to $70. While consumers are championing this as a victory, I have a SteamDB chart to show.

The Outer Worlds 2 Premium Edition Preorder​

From the beginning, there wasn't much between the base and Premium package. The Premium package includes two DLC among other cosmetics.

But still. 2K did the same with Borderlands 4. The base package is made more accessible, while the DLC is then increased. Though in Borderlands 4's case, I don't think they had their packages announced when they made the price change. Still, the add-ons are expensive.

Just how does marketing works... They will upsell you to the product, or rather price, that you would have paid without the cut. I won't be surprised to see The Outer Worlds 2's DLC get big discounts throughout its early-to-mid phase. Some things are simply already priced in.

Who knows, perhaps they will still cut the Premium Edition by $10, too.

The game has been well received ever since its announcement. Trailers and teasers at most game shows. They are indeed very active on social media. The marketing is proactive.

I remember in 2019 installing it on the Xbox, as it was on Game Pass, played it for an hour or two and never played it again. Really weird how time just kinda flew by.
 
Hopefully it's longer than the first game. I remember getting to lvl30 or something, thinking there's still a lot more to go, and then it ended...

Yeah, it was short. Did you play it with the DLC? I liked the game, and it had typical Obsidian design, but I didn't like its art direction. In some areas it looked okay, but in other areas like a washed-out Borderlands. Though a new system can run this game without upscaling, this game was not respected by DXR and upscaling technologies. Shimmering, ghosting...

I hope not to see this in the second game.
