I think I know what drawbcrol is getting at. There's not enough branching choices and different quest-lines to follow. There's only small variations with a few quests swapped out for others. To play the game as an evil player will lead to the same endgame area and a very similar confrontation...

I don't know how I feel about the WL1 remaster, but I do like the deranged sense of humor coming from WL3. I saw a clip of one NPC who uses a corpse like a dummy, and that's the kind of dark sense of humor I miss. I just hope it doesn't have the issues from WL2, like being able to see through...

Good start, but the next game will need to be more robust and allow for easier access early on to the other major hubs. Improved enemy AI so that they will attack and follow, instead of remain within a room, and allow nearby enemies to head over if within earshot. Add explosives and the ability...

Eh, I didn't find it "woke." I never felt talked down to, condescended, or that a character stood up on a soap box. There's differing views, sure, but they're handled as just that, or at the very least asides. The player can often ignore or flat out insult others at almost every turn. I found...

MosesZD, it's not over The Outer Worlds being the best, but that it fills a niche that's sadly lacking since NV: A solid ARPG. All we get these days are games with light RPG elements (Fallout 4) or very flawed ones (Greedfall). Bethesda is actively pushing their fans away with there poor quality...

I disagree on the music. It's perfectly well-suited background ambiance--it's not meant to be overly bombastic or catchy. It adds rather than distracts from the game. Sam is a fun companion, mainly for the things it says and how it deals with enemies, but realizing it doesn't have a quest-line...

Eh, I never liked Skyrim. I found it fun up to about level 25, but then it just became so samey. Tinker with more armor, another quest in a cave with more frost trolls, oh great another dragon. I finished the main quest-line with a good chunk of the side content and then uninstalled it. The...

The fanbase may give them a second chance, but if it's anything less than stellar (From their point of view) it's going to get uglier. There's no way the next Elder Scrolls doesn't have micro-transactions and other related BS.

Yeah, Young Blood was a flop, and Rage 2 did so-so business. As for Bethesda's future games, there's been speculation and rumors that Starfield, their so-called sci-fi RPG, is in development hell. If they're using the same broken engine and forcing it to do even more than it's capable of, I...

I highly doubt it's that short if a player does all the side quests and tasks. I'm maybe halfway through Monarch, and I've easily hit the 20 hour mark already. Besides, this game isn't a one and done. It's meant for playthroughs. Your build, choices, and endings will vary. I can see runs after...

Maybe don't set it to random? I got a battle-scarred soldier of fortune...with mutton chops! I took my time, and I'm quite happy with the results. If I have a critique it's that the number of options is limited due to budget constraints.

The humor that I've seen really isn't anywhere near as wacky as Old World Blues. When you really dig in with a conversation I'd say it's satire, that these people are compliant to corporations to a fault. Even the moon-headed mascot is a really, really sad sack when you dig into his mini story...

Agreed. I just took a break from playing it for hours, and I felt like Buck Rodgers righting the wrongs on a space station. That's an itch younger me has been wanting scratched for a long time. The game in a way reminds me of earlier games where you have a new area, do stuff and clear it out...

Corporations suck. I cry not a single tear for them. Disney were too cheap to have their mascot outfits cleaned or properly cooled, so workers were getting fungal infections from head to toe. AMC have forgone with proper safety measures for stunts on shows like The Walking Dead, which led to...

You can become a "Jack of all trades," but that'll lead to "A master of none." I'm around level 9 (Level cap is 30), and gain 10 skill points per level. Already I'm close to maxing two major skill groups at 50, but then that'll mean I'll have 200 skill points left to play with. If I want to...
