"Fake and not real" wow sounds great in an RPG. Just what I want, for it not to feel like a living breathing world. Sounds great. /s/
BOOK 📖📖
A bot named sam ........i feel like im having dejavu here.
Here with my lambogenie. KNOWLEDGE!!!
Bethesda: arrgh this is what we were gonna do with starfield but emptier with no npcs!!!
And cosmetic (not really) micro-transactions!
I am glad this got released now bethesda have to really up their game for starfield. lets see how they manage that.
Yash Kaushik it won’t even matter because their fans will buy anything without complaint
And shitty gameplay on a 20 year old engjne
But I hear there will be a map that glows in the f-ing dark...
It ain’t a skill up review unless I hear “your mileage may vary “

Can i just point out the "dehydrated water pills" WITH THE DESCRIPTION " WATER WITHOUT HYDROGEN OR OXYGEN" EXCUSE ME LMFAO
It's the future man.....lol
Gives you that great refreshing taste without all the oxygen and hydrogen
The lads at Obsidian know how to take the piss. Love 'em 😂
Didn't really find that joke very funny, too on-the-nose, but yeah this game has some solid Onion-style jokes lol
@@protatoplaysgames6918 haha That Is Literally EXACTLY What I Was Gonna Say!!
"An actual adult who knew how to use actual words"
Haha, couldn't agree more
Yea too many times have I heard adult used in conjunction to sex and violence. If anything it’s childlike
"I'm looking at you Shy" lmao. Exactly what I was thinking when he earlier said "nothing" to no glitches/bugs.
fucking spat out my drink at that point
6:20 'well, we're waiting.' watches shy for outer worlds video.
Sorry I live in a cave. Can someone tell me what it's about? lol
@@user-hb9ls5xc6b Quite Shallow is another youtuber who can somehow find a myriad of bugs and glitches in even the most polished of games, and she's made multiple videos "breaking" games like Destiny 2, Warframe, Greedfall, No Man's Sky, and Days Gone. now we're waiting for the inevitable "breaking Outer Worlds" vid

I’m a leaf on the wind!
I zeroed out my character's Intel and named him "Todd Howard".

@@thegrox4825 as is tradition
did you max his lying?
Special perk : "It just works"
_Sigh_ BOB WE GOT A DEAD BODY ON AISLE 4
This game is so self aware and I love it....
Wanted poster:
“Conspiracy to commit conspiracy”
When you arrive at Phineas base, ADA states out loud "We have arrived at Phineas Welles Secret Base"
I love even more the insight you get on the attitudes of corporations in real life.
This game learns you something about the globalist state of the world, it offers possible insight.
I love when you find out what happened to the guy who made the Wanted posters. Since *any* associating with the Wanted person is illegal, the guy who made the poster was arrested. For making the poster. After they ordered him to do it (of course, it doesn't apply to /them/...). Corporate idiocy at its finest.
This or death stranding?

Skill Up: "No bugs or glitches, none." Bethesda: How tho?
Dialectic : It just works 😜
new engine moron ! not ancient crap creation engine
im looking at you bethesda...

No Bethesda: Is it black magic?
Obsidian: Used a proper engine.
Bethesda: "I give this game an 84/100!"

oof, why you have to be this savage? The game just works.
Wooooooow
It's just works - Todd coward
and, ironically, I think this game is at 86/100 on Metacritic atm.
I LOVE this game. But surprised there are no grenades
I'm very much missing grenades
haha omg
I didnt even notice until you said that
@@joshuagraham8318 same here and ive played for 12 hours already lol
There's a grenade launcher...
"The outer worlds is the game for you" as the windows ping telling me the game is done installing dings
Now that is good timming, lol
"moisten the loins" got to figure out how to weave into a conversation.
Your mileage may vary.
moisten the loins to enter the groins
Bobble HatGaming omg that’s amazing
Basically the most detailed version of “sliding into your dm’s”
"Thank you for the job interview. I will be looking forward to your decision and am ready to moisten the loins at soonest opportunity."

@bigevilworldwide1 You're the reason for labor laws and osha.
I could tell the writing was brilliant because any time I loaded into an area with companions they would talk together and very often i would stop and turn back to them to listen to their conversations. Most times it was pretty funny others it was about a serious topic. And I LOVED that.
One of the things DA: Inquisition did really well was the banter between your companions
@@WolfclawTheGreatwolf I actually loved the entirety of that game. It was gorgeous, combat was awesome (and super unique) and I spent a boatload of time there.
@@kaibe5241 Dreadwolf pls be good
But can you romance your companion?
One aspect I really love playing about this game is that they do really do a lot of dialogue. I won't spoil it but there was a situation where I lied to someone then I told the truth later and they called me out on it. In every bethesda game I ever played That never happens. If I lie then suddenly start speaking the truth the Npc brushes it off, but in Obsidian they actually made situations that lying then telling the truth will at least get a response.
Skillup: "If you like good writing..."
SOLD!
Take my damn money obsidian
So this is like a playable book? I miss when video games focused on being GAMES.
/s 😅
@@dreamerabe ... for my case, if the game has not a good reason to keep me engage, i quit. Even doom, if it wasn't for the collectible and the lore, i would hate my moment.
That why i never play multiplayer game. Or nintendo game apart from fire emblem.
@@dreamerabe i remove the doom "hate". I would just found the game boring by the end. Because i remember that i LOVE rts( not civ or turn based strategy, im talking about real tactic, not chance) and rts do not have a story. For the most part.
Still, action/adventure/rpg/fps or looter game need to have a story or I quit really quick. Unless the gameplay is sooooo good. Doom is the ONLY exception.
@@clapointe151 I was just being sarcastic. There's lots of people (especially Nintendo and Xbox fanboys) who mock certain games by calling them playable movies, just because they have a lot of well-written and produced cinematics. Yet for some reason they don't mind playing games like RDR2, GTAV, and Mass Effect, even though they're extremely cinematic as well. Wonder why that is?🤔
"Neon drenched frontier inspired glory."

Darth Sateus I read this EXACTLY as he said it...😳
BubbaSteve Garcia lol
You forgot the fact that this game has less loading screens then every fallout game ever
👍🏿
and it has a lot of loading screens so that says a lot
You must have not done much if you think that.
Simply due to the nature of the fact that this game isn't open world, the Fallout games have WAAAYYYY less loading screens.
@@Phoenix-pb4sm I was surprised the game has so many loading screens considering how small it is.
@@Phoenix-pb4sm no the outer worlds have less loading screens, simple fact. Open world or not it has less loading screen.
"You've tried the best now try the rest, Spacer's Choice!"
also "moisten the loins"
ALSO
"May the Law have mercy on you, i won't."
"Its the closest thing we're gonna get to a firefly game"
Done. Sold me immediately.
Magic words for me. I intended to request it for the holidays, but decided no time like the present. LOL
what is the link between this game and the tv series firefly? the writers?
Kyle Robinson the style dude
I'm in
Me at the start of the video: "Okay, SkillUp, it sounds like you like this game. Convince me!"
Me after the firefly game line: *purchases game*
A company that invents and makes its employees wear a device that invades their privacy in any way, is called "Humanyze"...
Corporate irony my friend with 16 time the details
At first, I misread it as "Humanzee"...
War is peace, peace is war, and doublespeak is doubleplusungood.
Pretty sick stuff. Are you familiar with the real humanzee (Oliver) He was a chimp that thought he was human and was shunned by other chimps. Possibly a hybrid human and chimp.
Ogrim Farthammer I did the same. I started thinking of Oliver the chimp
I love how depending on who's with you the dialogue is unique. Whoever gets along or doesn't with eachothet makes the journey so much better by changing all of the dialogue every time
No bugs?
They arent using an ancient engine patched to oblivion and back because they are cheap on R&D unlike some development studios....
Oh there are bugs.
@@johnw8578 Big squishy ones you get to shoot with heavy weaponry. Oh, and yeah a couple minor program bugs as well I guess. Only issues I've run into involved some UI issues for loot off corpses (weird angles to trigger and sometimes straight refusing to display) and a crash when I left it on pause for a few hours to go get groceries then tried to resume (figure that was due to some combination of the autosave and my computer dumping data from the RAM since it was not being used for an extended period of time). That's been about it for me though.
Patched to OBLIVION huehuehue
@White-Van Helsing unreal engine 4 isn't built on the original unreal engine, they just share the name since they were made by the same people. Unreal engine 4 is like 6 or 7 years old
Fallout: New Vegas is one of my favorite games of all time. I was excited for this game, but you sold me. Well, you made me download it on my XBOX Game Pass
Same here!
Agreed
Just pre-ordered on Xbox One X as a Digital Copy.
Ayeee, watchu doing here bless? Get back to destiny you little rascal you
Blessious fr tho nearly free and absolutely fantastic
The visual style seems like a blend between Borderlands and Bioshock/Prey 2017. I think I like it.
urishima Bioshock is 1 of my all time favourites I'll never forget that game unforgettable so stylish, imagine it today!? It'd be a live service with epic, rare loot etc, and it'd have a social hub where ppl can show how dumb they are wearing their £20 skins! :( 😤. I love the look of Outer Worlds but the bright colours of wildlife looks silly like inflatables ud see in a swimming pool, lol, that's something easily looked past if the games quality though
And No Man’s Sky 👌
It's very pulp sci-fi/art deco.
Yup cause that's exactly why I play a game because it's like all the others
Yeah definitely got Borderlands and Bioshock vibes. Oddly enough it reminds me of Ratchet and Clank, the original.
I’ve never played a single game more than I’ve played fallout: new Vegas.
Outer worlds: *enters*
Me: there is another....
I've played fallout new vegas 40k,
Fallout new vegas halo and fallout new vegas California...... MODS YEAH!!!!
Turok, not the dinosaur hunter, the adult film star no way. 2 maybe 3 play through a at the most.
@@MeanMustard650 there are at the very least 20.7k mods for fnv, and big projects in alpha and more on the way. you can get it to kinda todays graphics standard and change the game completely every playthrough.
Im insecure but, I’m talking abut the the outerworlds. You won’t get more Thant 60 hours of gameplay at the very most from that game. Replaying included.
@@MeanMustard650 oh ok sorry. misunderstood
This game is extremely average Skill not sure what you were thinking with this one... I absolutely LOVE Obsidians other work also.
Its bad?
The review I was waiting for. As an American living in the states waking up at 6am to this. I thank you Aussie man. Tell my thiccboi Sam to let that beard grow out.
You guys only want bearded Sam back because shaved Sam's too pretty and makes your peepee hardu
I was going to ask where the laymen review is, but then I remembered Sam only plays Overwatch
@@jmasen07 does he only really play that? I might be Sam's long lost American brother if that's the case.
It feels weird seeing a recommendation after so much negativity lately.
Don't get used to it. Blizzcon is next week.
@Zanard Bell Especially starsector
Yeah I wish people would just STFU about blizzard. I don't care about the controversy I just want want interesting things in my recommendation not some 13 minute long video talking about politics.
@@MoodyMMA It's still shitty and shows recent trends that have substantial impact on gaming in general. Also shutting up about companies supporting that kind of thing is not something you should do. If you are tired of it... well, the good ol answer is simply don't watch it, but for the love of god don't mark is as unimportant, unlike 99,(9)% of shitshows on the internet nowadays, this is actually worth bitching about.
SsethTzeentach gives good recommendations, i highly recommend him.
@@MoodyMMA Oh yes, fuck all the people being oppressed in Hong Kong. I just want to be entertained.

I started killing NPC's the moment they gave me a gun and was amused by the fact that I could literally kill every single living thing I see.
I mean... Come on..
Im still wondering if there are even any essentials
@@RockBand2Freak78 There aren't. You can kill everyone in the game. Even Phineas.
@@astrojeet how can you kill phineas he is behind glass
Rat him out to Udom. This will lead to a different path actually.
@@astrojeet okay cool
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this game!! Was binge buying and trying TONS of rpgs this month and not a single one pulled me in like this one. Every single step is fun. Absolutely recommended. Srsly, you MUST play it
Agreed.
Good stuff.
Bethesda: what should we do to combat Outer Worlds
Bethesda: Lets add a subscription service to fallout 76 and add the New Vegas ranger armor that its locked behind it.

Funny how in a game about Obsidian, Bethesda is constantly brought up
They're in you fanbois' head rent free
Now go and purchase those packs and give them money, you and I both know you will
@@alvinmiles458 what are you even talking about?
Quiet Shy hearing anyone say a game works flawlessly:

Finally, the promised 16x the details.
JD Tug hahaha .
Indeed 👍🏻
Yes, and "detail" of the kind that *matters,* from the sound of it.
It Just Works
WOOOOOOOOOOO
@@ZeroHero530 as someone that liked FO4, I prefer this style. The artistic design looks like what SkillUp narrator said. It won't get "outdated" in a few years.
Outer worlds 40hrs no bugs. Ghost recon breakpoint. 5 minutes a bazillion bugs.
Fallout 76: 2 minutes EVERY bug.
Passion and care went into one game. Greed and incompetence went into the other.
But maybe they'll sell players a bugfix through the in-game store of Breakpoint?
It's especially impressive because it's from a developer who has a memetic reputation of brilliant but really buggy games.
tbf ghost recon plays in a jungle
8:44 lol A company called "Humanyze" is trying to turn Humans into robots. Aint that just lovely...
It's fucking creepy is what it is
Burn it down
It's called marketing.
@@bananajoe113
Ironic marketing, maybe. Kinda like a company that kills people calling itself "Lyfe".
@@alexanderdvanbalderen9803
All those types of happy go lucky Socialist organizations are always ran by mega rich globalists. Every single time. And they only dislike Capitalism when everybody else gets to use it to take business away from them. Hell, even supposed right wing "grass roots" movements are often funded by billionaires. The Tea Party comes to mind.
Holy hell, when the first two notes of the Firefly theme came on I got instant goosebumps. I love that show!
All that ramble at the start about reviving RPGs makes me sad our boi Shill up never reviewed Divinity Original Sin 2. If anything heralded the comback of old RPGs, it was that game.
agree with this
Nah bruh if you are going to talk about divinity original sin games , you must talk about the first one ! That game heralded the comback of old crpgs ( with poe 1) .
I think the cRPG comeback is very different to this. I would like to do Divinity one day, though. Only hear the best things.
@@SkillUp sir i would advise you to try the enhanced edition ( if you are going to review it on console ) . It is an improved version of the game
Fantastic game. In my top 4 greatest RPGs of this decade next to Dark Souls 1, Dragons Dogma and Anthem.
You're dead-on about games needing to close doors as often as open them when responding to player choices. Well said.
The way ShillUp says "kudos" as Q-Doss will never not be funny.
That was an extremely well-done review! I'm currently playing the game and absolutely love it on so many levels. Your take on the game echos my own as well as those of my friends. Very nicely done!
When The Outer Worlds was announced, it felt like they were dunking on Bethesda. Now that the reviews are out, I think we can confirm. Obsidian dunked on Bethesda. Boom-shakalaka!
@John James Rambo Opinions are opinions. That's fine if you feel like it is more middling or bad. Have a good one.
@John James Rambo I would have to agree just as there are hate trains there seems to be praise trains too but it’s a good game just nothing amazing or worth going nuts over I think it’s just because how Bethesda has gone well down hill
The game isn't phenomenal, it's just a bit above average, at least to me, but it's the message behind it all that people are taking from it. It's basically the people behind a Fallout classic stepping up and showing the world how to make a game in the wake of Bethesda going full retard.
John James Rambo I cant help but agree with John here, the game is highly overrated, as fun as I have with playing the game, I still can’t help but feel like it is missing a few links to the game that would make it feel ‘Perfect’, I agree with it being a good game, but it isn’t a perfect game, it’s fun, I’ve played through it for nearly 10-15 hours by now only after exploring three areas (yes, three whole areas, you will be doing a lot of back tracking), and trust me, it’ll take you way more then 10-15 hours
John James Rambo Oh no I totally understand, I’m going through my first play through right now and thought that maybe normal difficulty would still be rather difficult (considering it’s my first run with the game) - Come to find out it is rather easy to fight against AI if you just stick to a distance and pick them off by just headshotting them down to a certain amount of health before picking them off with either another shot from the same weapon, or to get up close to finish them off with another.. I do hear you with the ‘Unique Weapons’ that they have put in, though they are still the same gun models as to that of any other gun in the game, to say the HMG unique weapon I have looks exactly like the regular HMG that you’d find in a vending machine or on a dead body, though with a few minor tweaks to the gun to make it unique, it never felt like it was different from any of the other guns. The looting being chore is a major problem I have in this game, due to the fact that you can find damn near EVERYTHING in crates, bodies, or even just laying on the ground or on a table, their is too much loot to really be able to get a good feel for each item, health items and ammo along with bits are a major problem (especially all the health items.)
Though it is a game for those who enjoy more of a dialogue driven storyline, i still can’t help but feel it does miss a lot of options that Fallout NV use to have, even though I am comparing these two as they are their own separate titles, they are easy to compare with dialogue, where as you said NV is a more serious tone, Outer worlds really does act like a more watered down NV/Bioshock, in my opinion of course. Although I enjoy it myself, it has its flaws
Reminds me of the trailer: by the creators of Fallout.
True words.
By 2 of the creators of fallout 2.
with better engine ofcorse
The Outer Worlds graphics are on the level of WIND WAKER?
Oh man, tell me another hilarious joke!
There is a saying that goes "wide as ocean, deep as a puddle" but this game is just "wide as a puddle, deep like a puddle too"
shit man so many people shittalking this game after release. Is it that bad?
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse no its pretty good.
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse its not bad people who dont care about RPGs just hopped on the hype train the game had before and found out it wasn't what they thought it was.
"I'm looking at you, Shy"
Give me the yt game reviewer cinematic universe
Shy doesn't review, she breaks
It was pretty surreal as I read your comment at the exact moment he said "Looking at you, Shy".
"Over-bearing corporate wankery" Yes Ralph!
Sponsored by audible which is owned by amazon LUL
One phrase that defines the entire 21st century.
I put more thought into the first moral choice of this game than I ever did in Fallout 4. I finished my first playthrough after 15 hours of gameplay, and I enjoyed everything about it. If I feel like it, another playthrough would be swell, as I can do all the shit I didn't do because it's all so freaking interesting.
15 hours? Wtf
Their should be a game with Todd Howard as the main villain
This game kinda does that with the whole corporate greed theme
3:25 That gas giant in the sky is some Bungie-level skybox. I like.
Bungie makes the best skyboxes
exactly what I thought
Kingdom come deliverence is really great after all the patches. Most of the bugs have been fixed. I would recommend it to people who like RPGs.
Thanks
My wife has been Playen kingdom come for over a year it's that good.
I played it on ps4 on release, utter buggy rubbish. 18 months later, like right now, just finished it on pc, utterly awesome and bug free.
@@steffithemad8327 when it comes to the smaller teams like WarHorse/Obsidian, I'm willing to give these guys slack. We gotta realize that these games aren't technically AAA titles, and they're small teams developing a middle market or at most AA title, competing against the "RDR2'S" of the industry. With all that said, I think they did a great job, especially with actually fixing issues post launch. WarHorse indeed did a great job in the end of all of it!
@@ariestheram789 Agreed!
I knew I was in for something special when I came across the first major choice. I had to sacrifice the town or the deserter cam for a power cell. I was surprised when my companion asked me to spare the cannery she was basically enslaved too. I was under the impression that the game wanted me to sacrifice the town but it's nice too know that it's far deeper than telling you what you want to do like fallout 4 did
I'm glad you pointed out that the "balance choice" is an option and how the game showcases that it probably the most proper take to have to be "good" for everyone.
Funny comment I founf online that's so true it's sad:
"I like the Fallout series ! All four of them were fantastic Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout: The Outer Worlds"
arenkai Hell yeah, gamer
@Autismo Deffinitly my new headcanon if nothing else, time to actually complete a playthrough on his side (an excellent excuse to play New Vegas again)
lol, Thanks 4 sharing that!
C'mon,Fallout 3 also deserves at least an Honourable Mention on that list.
Fallout 4 is my fav.

"Capitalism is the best system we have"
u wot m8
@@neuty1312 for real. I dunno what kinda fucked up take this dude has, saying how messed up capitalism is yet it's also our best option? Fuck off.
@@JoeSkeen he is technically correct...
most forms of system employed today by basically all the major power (even China and Russia) are basically capitalism...
No country today basically can compete in modern world if they don't employ capitalism because they simply cannot compete... USSR have tried that, and failed...
the only question is how exactly they control capitalism, whether it's China's hybrid state capitalism where the state employ sizable control, or US post 1980s insane capitalism where there's almost no real control...
Capitalism is far from being perfect, but it still is better than everything else. Sadly.
Joe Skeen critiquing things is fine, even if it’s our best option. We should always be looking to improve things. Don’t get triggered about someone discussing the shortcomings of capitalism, ITS OKAY
I really enjoyed this video. Felt like you had something to say, rather than a lot of other channels who just put a video out cause it’s a new game and that’s ‘what they do’
As I New Vegas vet, I played Outer Worlds on Supernova my first run. So, on the companion abilities, I cannot tell you enough how useful they are because it freezes enemy AI but allows your reload animation and recharge times to still go through. Made the game feel like a tactical shooter to me.
❤
They're called ''humanyze''? Surely this is satire? Cause that's as ironic as the name could get
More like deHumanyze.
'No bugs or glitches. Nothing!'
7:12 she shoots someone through a wall, is that a glitch or a special weapon that lets her do that?
It's not a bug it's a feature, lol
It just works.
I think it's a weapon or skill.
camera angle
Working as intended
I usually agree with you but I can't on this one. This game is mediocre at best
You're one of the sanest talkers/reviewers I've found. You don't just spout endless strings of clichés, you can actually think and come to conclusions that make logical sense, and you don't annoy me every few seconds. I thought so in the past and think so again now.
Once this game is released, Bethesda will only be looked at as a company that "once was"
Zenimax is riding them hard for the money!! If they ruin TES 6 with some live service B.S or bugs as well then they definitely will be finished just like Bioware, another has been studio!!
love that quick sopranos nod
I'm playing this beauty on rtx 2070 max q on ultra settings and I have 0 issues. Had 0 crashes, no tear, no nothing. On second run now. Such a fun game!
" I am looking at you shy" Quite sure this made every warframe player smile just a little bit.
" just look at this city" ...walks into a hallway
Looked like inside a mall pretty much. 🤷♂️ But neat nonetheless.
Yeh, anti climatic. Just neon signs down an alleyway lol
And with the music and all, it almost sounded sarcastic
"Skill up, how much FOV do you want?"
"Yes"
My issue is that it doesnt make the weapon model smaller. Like you can do in skyrin and fo4. Just personal preference lol
Almost finished with the story missions, already planning my second play-through.
This is probably the best review for OW on CZcams, certainly the best I've come across so far! Thanks for the content :).
Obsidian: Moves the genre forwards with great writing, innovative game mechanics, and a bug free experience
Bethedsa: "How can microtransactions not moisten the loins?"
Glad to see a level 25 character wearing cool clothes instead of the usual huge armour
Its normally the opposite
“From interplay to Bethesda” lmfao I’m using that.
Amazing review and smartly laid out. Gota give you a like for this one!
"overbearing corporate wankery" - lol best description ever
Bethesdas new slogan?
17:14 "Parvati... or Janice as she likes to be called".
My man Shill Up subtly dropping those Sopranos references 👌
I was so pleasantly surprised to see this on Game Pass. I’m about 10 hours in and I am absolutely in love with this game. It’s exactly what the genre needed. Well done Obsidian!!!
video was so well made, I watched it all the way through just for you.
LOL "If you want to play The Outer Worlds without grappling with any of the themes or ideas present in the narrative, you can do that". *Looter shooter gamers entered the chat*
WHO DARE SAY CAPITALISM BAD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@ariestheram789 yeah, so sad that devs get restricted by screeching gamers like those
@@720pchannel just comes down to people who don't like their beliefs challenged. It's been a part of all entertainment forms, sadly. Americans like to scream about free speech, then get offended when somebody else makes a critique of the status quo.
@@ariestheram789 pretty much that
Geddy Tschetter politics is when there’s a wahmen in my vidya
This channel has Honestly become one of my favorites to watch.
I still listen to The Outer Worlds soundtrack maybe 2-3 times a month. One of the best game soundtracks ever.
Fight Club predicted this:
"When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks."
Fight Club riffed on the dozens of times it had been done in sci fi previously.
Is that why China wants to go to the moon? More factories?
@@alrun1836 Nah they wanna do it because the US already did and they want to be the next world super-power so anything current number 1 did they wanna do too (and better of course).
@@QwertyBoredom122 if they want to terraform Mars for more rice paddies I'm fine with that. Red state red planet it fits.
The score of this review worked really well. I’m so glad to see a positive reaction. Obsidian deserves it.
Her name is Parvati but she likes to go by Janice?
I'm guessing this is a direct nod to Tony's sister in The Sopranos...whose name is Janice but she likes to go by Parvati...
Its nice to hear more detail about this
shows view of beautiful city landscape, and here am I screaming "HOLSTER YER DAMN GUN! Think of the guards!" Can you even holster weapons in this?
Yes you can
Are we sure about that? I never see a damn video where they actually holster the damn gun!!!
@@bmessier2 In a GI review they asked "can I put my gun down" and Leonard said yes so here's hoping that's true
@@Vaughnsta99 , Indeed, I remember hearing Leonard saying that you could. Let's hope!
17:04 "I just want keep the writing out of LAYMANs' hands." I see what you did there.
"i'm looking at you Shy".... lol
Supernova on first play through, you will use consumables so often. I know you die a lot and you will lose a few companions but it just adds so much to the game.
"Even Sam the Janitor Bot! He was the best of them." 🤣
Wouldn't be surprised if that was a backhanded compliment to his brother. 🤔👍🏻
Capitalist Realism: “ it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.”
And yet it's our "best option."
@@JoeSkeen More like the only option, as it is the system of options.
Capitalism will inevitably collapse due to its own contradictions.
@@davidulanovsky8943 you're stupid. Literally, what other way then?
@@davidulanovsky8943 if you say communism then.. well obviously you arent into history.
Bought this at full price and damn after a so long time im feeling good to pay 60 Euros for a game. Well done game. Love it!
This game feels like Fallout and Borderlands had a kid and I love it.
That thumbnail and video title are enough for me! I'm not even gonna watch this rn, don't wanna spoil anything.
So glad you liked it, SkillUp!!
4:03 "The best way I can describe it is that each space feels like a movie set" One of the major perks to having multiple smaller "open worldish" areas as opposed to one massive open world.
I would have responded with, "absolutely not." When asked about handing over the domain name should Bethesda ask.
The description is accurate, the service is a disservice, and the actions the company has taken are unreasonable.
Great review! Subscribed!
