First big story decision, big spoilers so don't read till you leave the first area.

Watched couple hours of Twitch stream. Looks very linear, very cartoonish or arcade gameplay. Sky looks nice, and dialogue is its strong suit. But not really going to bother before it's in sale on Steam, maybe not even then. Feels criminal this kind of game to get 20 points more from critics than game like Elex, which game three years ago, offers pretty much everything, is open world and three times the size. But that's just another evidence how corporate reviewers and influencers are nowadays.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Oct 25, 2019 10:04 pm

Or because size is irrelevant and doesn't correlate to quality.

That’s what he said.

I haven’t left the first area, yet. Friends and family keep requesting my time, so I haven’t had much time to sit down and play the game. It kind of reminds me more of Borderlands than Fallout so far, though. At least, in atmosphere. That said, I do like the game.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Oct 27, 2019 4:42 pm

Enjoying this way more than any Fallout game tbh. Part of it is because to me the sci fi worlds you explore to me is way more interesting than post apocalyptic wastelands.

But it's not just that, New Vegas aside the writing, quests and party members are all way better imo. Even the combat is more enjoyable now I've actually got some weapons which are not total garbage.

So yeah I'm enjoying it. Very Happy

Oh and i enjoy the hub like design way more than the massive worlds with nothing of substance to justify them.

I'll get this for collection once it's under £30

same I think, will pick it up after I'm bored of Pokemon

by McLewis Mon Oct 28, 2019 2:56 pm

So I picked this up on Xbox Game Pass and pumped about 12 hours into it this weekend.

I feel like this is almost a spiritual successor to Mass Effect in many ways, but the dark humor-laced dystopian tone is more akin to Borderlands and/or Bioshock. I have yet to meet any actually memorable characters yet though other than maybe ADA.

Overall, I'm enjoying it so far.

Same

This is basically Fallout 3/NV in space right? watched the trailer on PSN just now and it had the exact feel of those.

Also a sale going on with Bioshock collection for 20, and Fallout 4 for 8. Damn. That Bioshock collection is so tempting

That's a fair comp tbh, i would add that the RPG systems, decisions etc are more in line with New Vegas ( natural considering who the devs are) But the tone of the world, design of them in general, writing, characters and companions more seem inspired by Mass Effect, Bioshock etc etc but with the depth of New Vegas.

It is it's own game but if i were to throw comps out there that's how i feel it compares to.

Yeah a buddy of mine also mentioned New Vegas as well. Didn't mention it myself as I've never played any of the Fallout games.

You'll see what I mean if/when you play this game Laughing

I think i made my character a bit too OP with high personality skills, i can simply charm/persuade /intimidate myself out of all problems. Laughing

Did i miss something there? didn't bother to check his room, is it still accessible after he leaves?

by Thimmy Wed Oct 30, 2019 2:58 am

I never found out what’s in there since Reed and his lackeys had the locked room in their line of sight. Might just be junk for all I know. I don’t know if you still have access after he leaves since I haven’t explored the option of making him leave.
