      Do you wanna spend 80 dollars on a new game, or wait a year and buy it for 10 dollars when it works and is actually finished?

      WHERE CAN I PRE ORDER IT FOR 120 DOLLARS TO PLAY IT 3 DAYS EARLY AND PAY TO BE A PLAYTESTER?

      Like i’m not surprised why games are this expensive.

        That’s the kicker. Getting games on release now feels like early access. I’ve been hyped for a few games in day one and there’s either server issues, driver issues, crashes, what have you. These things are so rushed they need a year to be finished.

        By then you’ll know if it flops too, avoid getting caught in the hype.

    even if wages increased with inflation and 80 dollar games weren’t so distressing, the first outer wilds fucking sucked and I have no hope for the sequel

      I don’t know. It seems like they’re addressing the issues that the first one had. It was too safe and far too full of itself. It should have just been one big planet and a bit less goofy. Seems like the next one is shaping up for that. Also, if there is a game company that I trust right now it’s obsidian. I was super disappointed with the ending just being the same slides they used for new Vegas, hopefully we at least get a more satisfying ending.

    Yea, no thanks dawg. First game was boring AF, and on top of that, now you want 80 bucks?

    Was there a big contingent of people waiting for a sequel? I recall the original game being massively hyped and actually being pretty disappointing once I played it.

    Best of luck with that. I got the first game for free and still haven’t played it. I say that as a fan of obsidian/old Bethesda i.e. the person you should be trying to get buy your game.

      It’s kinda mid, id suggest Tainted Grail if ya want a Bethesda like game. Doesn’t quite scratch the itch but it’s close enough.

        Better than Starfield as a sci-fi RPG. Had some pretty boring balance choices imo. Dialogue was decent but I didn’t really love anything.

        Yeah, I don’t like it, but mid is fair… And I’ll buy #2 anyways if the reviews hold up.

        People are free to complain about the price point but it’s pretty absurd to think gaming is somehow immune to inflation.

        I’m now replacing this game with Clockwork Revolution to keep an eye on since it’s the producer of the first 2 fallout games.

        I was probably a bit uncharitable. TBF it is on my backlog of games I intend to play. It’s just not a game I would want to pay $80 USD for based on what I’ve seen review wise.

    This is to make Game Pass appear more valuable, nothing more.
