    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    I would remind you that the ones this is meant to appeal to make up less than a fraction of a percent of the U.S. population. You're proving my case. Being indifferent about this only lets it spread, and as we've learned from Blizzard, only the west is getting this kind of propaganda because...

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    Yeah, I'm not seeing many bugs. Just optimization issues. My frame rate stutters in dense areas, and I noticed some kind of artifacing when looking left or right too quickly. I'll keep this short then. When libs get offended or need some clout, they call for someone's job and/or...

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    Yeah. The hyper corporatization is unsettling as a theme, and these days it's very topical. And those points are good ones. My character has maxed out intelligence so the dumb options aren't available to me, though I like using Time Dilation to dial in a long range shot. (Finally got my hands...

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    Hour 4 - So it seems the geothermal plant mission isn't as clear cut as I thought, though one thing might tip it over the edge and showcase what I've been hearing about how characters in this game are presented to the player. - Thought so. Overall, the geothermal plant and related mission are...

    That's be hilarious.

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    Hour 3 - The quest I just got has an optional side: Talk to a local vicar about the quest and see if there are alternatives, in this case, a similar situation to Gecko in Fallout. As it turns out, this vicar is also a corporate type. The "religion" he brings up, Scientism, seems designed by the...

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    Hour 2 - Edgewater really hits the mark as a corporate-owned hellhole. The cannery is the biggest place in town, and it had almost a western feel to things with how the town is laid out and some of the music. And here, a nugget I found on one of the terminals. -- [FOUND]: One (1) left hand...

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    In setting, yeah. They pushed the commercialism hard as a theme, and it shows. Renting graves? Seriously? Otherwise, I get the feeling they really wanted to make something akin to Fallout again, but abandoned the idea of a post-apocalypse in favor of a lighter KOTOR. Once I find the companions...

    My bad. Still, with PD being an Activision branch, I'm not surprised.

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    Character Creation - Interesting setup. Unlocking the specialization options only once reaching 50 in an area of skills is kinda strange, though I like that they borrowed Oblivion's Perks-At-A-Set-Level idea. That was one of my favorite parts of that game. My character is Below Average in...

    The Outer Worlds - Early Impressions

    Just for giggles, I'll spend a few hours playing through Obsidian's newest game and give my thoughts. (I have some time left on my Game Pass for XBOX, so no $60 purchase.) After POE II, what that contained, and what I've seen so far of this one, I'm near convinced that what we once knew as...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    Personally, I'm hoping they start having issues with cheaters from Day 1 so they'll come to realize how much work goes into creating and maintaining a game like this. Another example of how Bethesda destroys IPs and ideas just as well as EA does. Probably, but I've found putting videos into...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    - Session 4 (Last One) Impressions - Before I get into this, here's a few tidbits I've found thanks to the video below. - All the DLC is already installed within the client. All six pieces. - The client-side data that gets sent from your system to the Bethesda servers is unencrypted...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    Thanks, and way ahead of you. I've already cancelled my pre-order, which I placed for this very reason; that money's going towards HITMAN 2 this week, which I can't wait to play. (Been hunting down old challenges and other things in HITMAN 2016 this last week.) EDIT 11/6 - Once again, you have...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    No problem. In terms of the story, it looks like what might end up happening is, at the end of the main quest, you launch the leftover nukes to try and kill the Scorch Beasts, but nothing really happens in turn outside of torching one area for about 24 hours of server time. I'd imagine it won't...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    I'd say so. When a single player claims a spot like the pit I mentioned, which can produce resources for you if you build something over the gravel pit or the like, it registers them as the owner on that instance but also makes it a contested spot. If a group claims it, I'd assume it would stay...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    - When multiple people are attacking you, as far as I know, it's only the one you shoot back at that can hit you for full damage. As for groups, I had too much stuff on hand to risk finding out, but judging by what Bethesda and Howard have said up to now, I'd wager there's no group vs. one PVP...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    - Third Session Impressions - Oh, man. Here comes the PVP part, but before that... * This session lasted for 4 hours. * During this session, I had the game freeze after about 20 seconds of it deciding what it was doing. Before then, I had lag spikes in random places, usually with mobs...

    Fallout 76 - My Impressions

    - Second Session Impressions - It seems PC players were stuck with a corrupted download for their first time getting into the BETA, and had to redownload the whole thing a second time. *claps* Way to go, Bethesda. Otherwise, a few updates first. #1 - Something must have been altered with the...
