The Outer Worlds Is Better Than I Remember (2023 Review) 

I don't know why the colours are messed up on some of the clips, I would have to re-record those moments to fix it and I can't be arsed 🤷‍♂I'm just gonna leave it

I love Pavarti, but I think my favorite character is Max. He's such a good representation of the struggle to find real spiritual meaning in a world that is becoming increasingly more corporatized and materialistic.

Starfield ended up being a great seller of NMS, Outer Worlds, and Outer Wilds. Nice job Bethesda :D

I'm looking forward to The Outer Worlds 2.

Yeh thought i'd try this one since UEVR is out. Looks like it would be pretty cool in VR. If you haven't got urself a headset yet then i would invest in one.

The outer worlds Board Approved Bundle is on sale for $40 on the Xbox store! But it

Idk but this game kinds reminded me of a bioshock infinite like rpg

On god, Starfield left such a bad taste, so I decided to do a second run on the Outer Worlds, and I'm having a solid time. I just wish there was a mod for realistic damage on both ends and then I'd be set.

Never bothered with this game. Just bagged a copy on eBay for £5, I reckon I'll get my money's worth.

I want to thank Starfield for bringing the people more attention to Outer Worlds. All hail AA games!!

Great review, thank you!

This is next on my list after Cyberpunk 2077 after being very dissapointed over starfield 😅

For what it was back in 2019 it's still a good game though

Obsidian once again taking Bathesdas cake, and eating it too. Not only did they do fallout better than Bathesda, they even did a space RPG better than them.

just the right time starfield is released. edit: heard they use AI for facial animations during dialogues

I'm downloading it now

Basically, Tim Cain > Todd Howard.

Enjoying DLC more than main story atm, dumb build all the way for extra dialogue flair

I hope avowed will be good. They've kinda degraded avowed looks and ambition wise compared to what it was

Dunno. I got a free copy on Epic the other day.

remaster is trash The PS4 version on the PS5 runs at a higher frame rate and resolution than the remaster and the original version looks way better graphically

I think i downloaded wrong games. Because it was nothing like this and i was 2 gig.

You laughed all the time while playing the game? I don’t recall a single time I even smiled.

Man Outer World's was just okay for me but even this game has more character than Starfield. It has better writing, characters, and voice actors. Starfield's world just feels so flat in comparison. 😭

I expected Starfield to be the better version of Outer world. Boy, was I wrong!

The game isn't about capitalism. It's about corporate Fascism.

I love this game, and it’s so disappointing to see people randomly start hating on it now? Like it was really well made and extremely fun. I don’t think it’s the GREATEST game of all time. But 100% my favorite of all time. It has almost everything I want in a game. A space game with choices, a crew that you ≈ choose/ find, free will, comedy, action, mystery, explorable planets, fun side quests, and random events like getting boarded by pirates. It’s like the guardians of the galaxy game with more freedom. I really hope for a few things in the sequel I want which were the only issues I had, being able to fly the ship/ ship combat, having more companions in the world than space on your ship so your crew can really be customizable and more alive and have replay ability value, a longer story, and a customizable ship or choices of ships, or and love options with companions. Also I wish that the device that gave you disguises lasted longer or was upgradable because it was a cool idea, but ultimately somewhat useless with how short it lasted.

the game maybe forgotten for some ppl, but everytime im playing Starfield and met spacers all i could think was "ITS NOT THE BEST CHOICE, ITS SPACERS CHOICE!" they really nailed how corporate jingles are very effective dont they

I also think this game has one of the most beautiful soundtracks I have ever heard. Some of them are outright tearjerkers...

I genuinely thought I was going to be playing Starfield and pretty much nothing else for the next couple of years but honestly I've just found myself going back to games like Outer Worlds and Fallout 4 again. Maybe I'll try Starfield again in a few years after quest mods and DLC are out.

Played this game for the first time last February. I loved it. I still love it, so much. The dialogue and characters are such a joy and I love it visually. It made me laugh a lot. On a second playthrough and I don’t love it any less. Can’t wait for the sequel.

I just brought this the other day and it’s amazing honestly a very well rounded game but could do with a few tweaks and hopefully they make a second one

Best part about this channel is the man just tells it like it fucking is 👍

I love this game and I don’t understand why it got so many negative reviews. It’s fun to play. I like the themes, I like the characters, I adore the stylistic environments. It’s a fun, light hearted critique of capitalism. The combat wasn’t worse than any Bethesda game and I play those too. I guess it was kind of small in comparison to some of the big giant open world games but I don’t need a lot of empty space in a video game environment. In fact it annoys me when there are whole sections of maps that mean nothing and have nothing worth seeing or doing. (Looking at you, Inquisition.) I prefer depth over breadth any day. Parvati is freaking adorable and her personal quest is the sweetest thing. I loved Vicar Max too…not because he was cute. He was interesting. His quest actually makes you think.

Spacer's Choice jingle lives in my head rent free

I bought the base game when I bought my PS4 a few years ago, and thought the game was just okay. Last year the PS Store had a sale on DLCs and add-ons, so I could buy the DLCs cheap. Once I played the game with the DLCs added, I enjoyed the game much more. It's become a favorite.

I think this game was overshadowed by star field when it was announced at E3 by tod howard.. so the expectations from outer worlds was much higher.. now that Star field turned out to be a flop.. people are realizing the outer worlds is decent

Never played starfield never intended to begin with I knew it was going to be garbage but this game is indeed better than I remember it being way better

Feeling underwhelmed about Starfield, I was curious to retry this also, as I felt about the same as you the first time around, and failed to get very far in it, however I'm encouraged to retry it now too thanks to this video. Starfield is getting under my skin, especially from a dialogue and VA point of view (You know how much I've spent in Cyberpunk 2077) - not much comes close to CP2077 - in fact every RPG like this seems like an amateur-hour line reading exercise in comparison (BG3 was also awesome I should clarify) - Starfield VA/Scripting is stilted, stale and delivery is an afterthought. That was acceptable before CDPR and Bioware raised the bar with Mass Effect, the Witcher and Dragon Age, but simply painful an inexcusable now, Cyberpunk 2077 really has seriously ruined many other RPGs for me. Cyberpunk even tops acing in action game cut sequences now, like Uncharted for example, and it all happens in-game in CP! Crazy! (Anyway, thanks for the video, hope you're keeping well buddy! I'll give this a bash in 2024 I think)

got it now for free, thanks Epic .. BUT no surround sound, wth ... found some ancient requests to fix this, but no solutions whatsoever ... my drivers, system settings etc are up to date and not at fault ... got perfect surround sound in every other game and my driver setup test. Anyone got the same problem and a solution?

It’s crazy how people talk about Starfield and Outer Worlds (I love both) and forget just how good No Man’s Sky STILL is. There are still mechanics and game features to this day that neither of the other two could figure out that NMS still reigns supreme in. Unless, of course, you love running into invisible walls on planets and crave cut scenes and menu diving…

really cool stuff yeah i played the original i been trying this recently !

loved this game from the start. the comedy is indeed good; I'd say all the writing is really good. it's the only game where I actually read every piece of text I found.

It was way worse than I remembered.

I took a break from Starfield so I could replay through Control and OG Alan Wake in preparation for Alan Wake 2, and now that I got back to it I've ran into a terrible performance bug that causes the game to stutter constantly on my current playthrough save file and ONLY that one, I can start a new game with perfect performance and even save and reload it without issue. So yeah since I'm not about to restart a 60 hour save file I guess I'll finally give the Outer Worlds the try I kept meaning to give it but never did.

Parvati remains my all time favorite companion from any game I've played although Karlach from BG3 is right up there at the top.

Outer Worlds was one of my favorite games of all time. The choices throughout the game offer a lot of replayability, same with the variety of build types. You can actually kill everyone with the exception of one character they intentionally put behind bulletproof glass for that reason. An “evil” play through is very viable and you actions resinate through out the game. As a PlayStation player this franchise now being exclusive to Xbox bugs me more than Fallout and Elder Scrolls.

Game definitely has its charm, but like you said combat needs brushing up and so does anything combat related. Only problem is the game has a relatively small world space compared to games like fallout, cyberpunk and Starfield. Still a much better game than starfield.

04:50 Trying not to spoil for other people, but are you per chance referring to her being a very valuable card in poker? As a guy who had only recently fully accepted that I was in that boat myself (hetero-rom though) when this game came out, it was such a lovely surprise and I related to her so much.

After my dissapointment, I replayed Mass Effect...Legendary...I am moving back to this game now...good to see I am not the only one who switched back to spite Bethesda lol.

I just finished 100 hours of starfield which made me want to come back to this after years later. I absolutely am loving it. Never played the dlc for outer worlds, and im super impressed with them.

Star Field if Bethesda put in effort

I just started playing randomly, and its amazing

I had the same experience. Going back to it after Starfield felt like a revelation. It is amazing what good writing can do. I'm bouncing between BG3 and TOW at the moment and having the best time. BG3 is like an all consuming experience that can leave me wanting to play something lighter and TOW is scratching that itch perfectly.

Omg I did not know pravali was Aloy...I have to replay it now. Thank you for letting me know I'm so serious

This is a dull...DULL game. It's not engaging, it's not really particularly interesting. Gun play is mid.

I think Outer Worlds embody how to make a good game. Like, it doesn't bite more than it can chew, and it doesn't over reach, when it doesn't have to. To get the basics out, graphics and gameplay. You definitely can say that it's above "basic", but nowhere near perfect. But... does it have to be? I mean, I'm just happy that it's not too pixelated, and it runs smooth. Combat wise... I mean, one of the largest games on the market is CS:GO, it's literally just point and shoot as well. It didn't reinvent the wheel... and it didn't have to. It worked with what could be changed. So yes, it's no Monster Hunter Rise, but not every game has to be perfect. Overall, I think you could see that the effort was there... it just didn't hit the mark of being a revolutionary game.

LOL I swear I saw the title of this video and thought to post that starfield makes any game feel worlds better. You mention this as the first thing you say in video so I can only post this as a funny.

always amazes me the difference in movement when watching someone playing with a console/controller compared to keyboard and mouse. It gives fatigues me just watching it.

Unfortunately your praise did our game a little disservice but this is expected as your initial expectations of this game were originally not that great. The modding community made adjustment’s to our game in which I actually praised; Textures, performance, interface, combat to name a few. The true strength of our game was indeed the story writing, the moral decisions were quite the head scratcher and we could leave you soul destroyingley crushed or enlightened as well as a lung bursting bout of laughter . You Also forgot to mention our 2 amazing unique DLC’s. May I suggest your viewers try them out for the full experience. On the Starfield being boring remember this is just the beginning for Starfield it will be better than what you originally imagined, remembering this is not a new fall out game or and elder scrolls game this is a new entity… Though I do admit it has its history steeped in and influenced by its predecessors… So yep maybe a little Fallout Feild or Skyfield Maybe it’s a little Starout or Starym but it’s not boring.. Anyways thank you for your review and continue to enjoy your gaming, remember it’s just a game and it’s not Soacers Choice it’s Gamers choice (and that is a spacers choice)

It's ironic that anyone would praise The Outer Worlds in retrospect, when they're essentially the same game. Bland, designed by committee slop, made by developers trying to coast on the legacy of better games made long ago. The Outer Worlds only has one idea it does over and over again, with "quirky" writing to try and cover how shallow it is. Big empty boxes with prefabbed buildings and more effort put into marketing than actual development... it's embarrassing that people eat this up with a smile on their faces. Bethesda and Obsidian really are no different.

Why does this video feel like you were being held at gunpoint to make it....?
