Some of my friends bought games, finished them within a month and the proudly displayed them on their bookcase. If your like me, Game Pass is absolutely perfect - I can play a game for next to nothing and if I absolutely love it and want to keep it forever, I can buy it for much cheaper once the exclusivity deals expire.

    what i dislike about this game is that you spend all the time making your character look a certain way but there is no way to see your character beyond your menu . you never see your character in a cutscene and you cant switch to 3rd person like in fallout. so what is the point of character creation in a game where you never see your own character.

    First month is $1 lol.
    Edit - I must add here that I do like to own my games ( as much of that is actually possible these days ) but to be able to play the entire game and many others for pennies and then decide if we like it or not is something to be thankful for.
    Turns out there's no way I'm gonna buy this game. Very happy I didn't have to spend full price to figure that out.

    Can’t believe I’m finally hearing, someone got negative points on Outer Worlds.. Good on you Mack..
    Was searching for ages yesterday in CZcams to see if someone else thought like I did, that this game had some problems, and it was all like 100% positive reviews with no criticism, and amidst all that nonsense, Mack rises above!
    All the issues I had you nicely summed them up.
    The models that look like balloons, the color pallets, the copy paste feel, the small areas, the dialog problems(I actually found myself bored on it after playing some time I had to open a movie next to it ,lol, and just let them speak while I watched a film...*ding*) ROFL loved the COD reference!!
    The issue with the x-ray vision was totally annoying as well.
    And EPIC store shayyet mention at the end like a cherry on top.
    Best review ever Mac, thanks.
    For me it all just felt like I’m playing a moded version of Fallout 3 or 4.
    The looting also had no feel of fun for me.
    You can ransack whole places, but that loot is just useless,had tons of cash with nothing real to invest in etc,something was fail in that as well for me.
    There`s nothing new, it’s all same, just different story, and I wasn't impressed by Bethesda version of Fallout (I’m a fan of the first two games, for me Fallout 3 was just Oblivion with guns)
    Think this game is built well like triple A game should be but theres no innovation here.
    Personally I think,If you loved Bethesda versions of Fallout you'll love this,otherwise not worth the buy.

    • @AtillatheHun

      Yeah I'm surprised no one has been pointing out the flaws. The weapon selection is meh, and seems to push you toward using energy weapons. The lock picking and hacking systems seem pointless after you level up a little and get boosts from armor and companions. The perks aren't particularly interesting. The game seems to want to push you to have companions; only 3 perks boost solo play style, whereas there are 12+ companion perks for the player and more on each companion. Personally I find most of the characters to be ugly and annoying, including the companions. I don't particularly care for any of the factions yet either. Some of those are personal gripes and nitpicking, and I'm still going to play the hell out of it, but it's not a perfect game.

    Love how Mack's character creation looked right out of a late 1970s sci fi novel cover.
    As for the colour palette, agree it's bollocks, you reckon they might've had colour palette options in the settings like some games do. Could probably tweak that saturation down with ReShade if it gets a bit much and use a sharpen filter to make enemies a bit more visible as it's quite water-coloury.

    The over-praising of Outer Worlds is likely the result of gamers being so desperate to get their hands on a solid RPG. It's been almost a decade since Fallout: New Vegas came out and it's tragic that games have (mostly) only gone backwards since then.

    It's worth the $1.00 I paid for it with the Xbox Game Pass. The first month costs $1.00. After that it's $4.99 a month for a large list of games. I paid for it and downloaded Gears of War 4 and 5 and a couple other games. Then I stopped the subscription just before the month was up. When The Outer Worlds was released a couple days ago I signed up again thinking it was going to cost $4.99, but it didn't. I was charged $1.00 again.
