Monte Carlo Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hello, I have returned as I find myself intrigued by news of a New Gaeme. The deliberate exclusion of Romances stirred me from The Pit, but I have to ask, will this game make up for PoE. This is not me trolling. PoE wasn't my cup of tea. It really wasn't, in fact it kept me off these forums for several years (you might conclude that's a Good Thing). Cheers, MC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirottu Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The Outer Worlds will be the best thing since push-up bra. The physical editions will be made out of recycled ocean plastics curing the world. It will be so good that aliens will come to check it out, and we will have the First Contact. Seeing aliens for the first time will make us humans see just how silly and small the differences between us are and racism ends. Avellone will come back to Obsidian, and finally makes his High School romance simulator RPG with mechas with adjustable boob plate size sliders. Not sure if it will atone for PoE though, but, you know, fingers crossed. 17 This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Blarghagh Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I can't say, since I didn't find PoE particularly bad. I think this looks more interesting than PoE, though. Welcome back, Monte. Written anything cool lately? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiraLightfoot Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Welcome back, Monte Carlo! (The one and only MC on these forums, IMHO.

It's like Borderlands 2, F:NV, and Rage have been rolled into one gameworld -Story: Vying terraforming corporations, dark humour, light humour, sprinkled with alien gore, mirroring our own issues at Tellus -Gameplay: FPS -CRPG status: "Hardcore RPG", not full on open world, and no ARPG loot fest 2 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back, Monte. Written anything cool lately? I've had a couple of things published. Got a couple of short stories out soon, and a diesel-punk / science-fantasy novel out next year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiraLightfoot Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Well, as for who's working on the game, thanks to Finnish sisu, as if on cue: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/107063-so-who-is-working-on-this-game/ *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, and it has been lived on for 70yrs, while the terraforming of the other planet failed (it's most likely the ominously close and ringed backdrop planet, at least according to the summary vid I posted in another thread.

I rarely get into disagreements with people on this forum but when I do, I usually find somethimg in common with them so it's rewarding to stay. However, that's if both parties can handle a disagreement without blocking one another hehe I believe The Outer Worlds will make up for Pillars' shortcomings because they are nearly polar opposites in vision and quality of focus. So I say YES! 1 Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

Doctor Atomic Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just because someone doesn't like Pillars does not mean the game devs have anything to atone for, sorry, it's a bit egotistical to think so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dartbord Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Does it need to atone? I really enjoyed PoE. This new game looks very exciting though, so if it DID need to atone, I'm sure it would be capable of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injurai Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Why are people discussing atonement like it's a real thing? It's facetious language for will this game makeup for something that didn't fit my liking. Does it need to fit one person's tastes? No. Should it try to meet a certain goal in relation to the type of game it is. Sure. Should it atone least it be condemned to hell? Well it's already owned by Microsoft so maybe we are into deals with the devil now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget what forum you are on if you think 'egotistical' is a bad thing. And you are unfamiliar with forums if you think this one is the only one with that problem.
