I really enjoyed the mix of perks I had by the end, I could enter a space, take out my sniper rifle and just pop heads in slow mo until the room was clear.

Very satisfying :nod:

Looks like any sequels will be Xbox/PC only.

Biggest disappointment of the entire generation so I can't say I'll miss being unable to play a sequel.

Hot take, what let you down about it Zilnad?

I really quite liked it myself. It wasn't a revelation in any sense but it was a very competent RPG for me

I think it's hard to argue it was disappointing, even if you didn't particularly like it, because it was almost exactly what it set out to be and advertised itself as.

I hadn't followed the game at all but, even so, I heard so much hype on release and the feedback was hard to ignore. Everything I read or heard was buzzing about how great an RPG it was.

Then I played it and it felt like I'd gone back ten years and was just playing Fallout 3 in space. It was just so old fashioned in every way.

Coming off the back of Disco Elysium probably didn't help either.

Just finished this, and quite enjoyed it for the most part, although the ending did sneak up on me rather fast (and while I think I got the got the 'good ending' it still seemed quite bleak and depressing). I spent the start of the game doing absolutely every side quest I could, until Byzantium, where I thought I'll just focus on the main quest now... but there wasn't too much further to go after that. I know I was offered chances to turn on Phineas which I never took, so guess there could have been more by playing the two sides against each other for a bit.

I'm looking forward to more games in this series.
It was an RGP that didn't have so much bloat that it got super frustrating.

Finish Avowed first please Obsidian!

I'd love a larger more expansive Outer Worlds 2 which is in active development.

The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition is the ultimate way to play the award-winning RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division. Available March 7th, 2023.

You’ve tried the rest, now come back to the best! The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition includes the base game and all add-on content as the definitive way to play the beloved RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. This remastered masterpiece is optimized to be the absolute best version of The Outer Worlds… even if you choose to play this critically acclaimed RPG as the absolute worst version of your character.

Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the colony. Explore the various planets and locations of Halcyon, including the mysterious Gorgon Asteroid and delightful distilleries of Eridanos. As you encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds.

In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.


Players who already have The Outer Worlds and its associated DLC, Murder on Eridanos and Peril on Gorgon, for Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 or PC (Steam, GOG.com, Epic Games Store, or Windows Store), can upgrade to The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition for the latest console generation within that same console family or, if applicable, from that same PC store at a reduced purchase price.*


Seems to be a $10 upgrade if you already own the game & 2 DLCs.

Dang! I own the game (and add-ons) on Switch... but I'd like to have this visually upgraded version for PS5. Will await a sale!

Edit: Oh! The PS4 version is sale in the PS Store at the moment. Hmmn... temptation rising!

Thank goodness I didn't go for this as the new gen versions didn't exactly get a good reception. It'll be interesting to see if the latest update has improved the situation.
