FH4 and 5 are effectively MMOs. There is plenty to do alone, and the other players can mostly be ignored, but it’s still a shared world.

yetAnotherUser,

Remove the first “M”, there are hardly any players on the map to save on server costs.

I’ve played both a lot yet it’s not rare to spend 10 minutes without seeing a single other player.

The games are fundamentally, very alone.

darksiderbun, do games w Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash

I don’t want this to be my only downvoted comment, but can someone please explain why raising the price is so bad? I know the companies are bad. Also I have autism so please be kind. But basically, the prices have been $60 or maybe $35 in the 90s for soooo long that with inflation in any country surely $70 or $80 is still below the “true cost” right? I’m always happy to pay less for games so price drops are great though :p

lpinfinity,

I think it’s mostly because these price increases are happening at the same time as the publishers are raking in record profits. It also doesn’t help that a lot of the games seeing the increase are subpar cash grabs.

I don’t see any problems with charging more than $60 for a game as long as the game is worth what they’re asking. I bought Metaphor Refantazio and TotK at a full $70 and felt both were worth that (screw Nintendo, but the game’s really good).

Development costs have increased drastically in the past couple decades, and while the customer base has also increased quite a bit, I think the market is reaching saturation.

I think that while greed is the most common reason for the increase, there are some legitimate reasons people should take into account before denouncing every price increase.

sugar_in_your_tea,

I’m in the same camp. Paying more feels bad, but it’s justified by currencies being less valuable.

This is just like how we all used to need to tune into ABC first before we could watch CBS. Remember? That was so bizarre.

N00b22,

Context? I’m not from the USA

RampantParanoia2365,

Context is that this is an absurd situation I made up. ABC and CBS are two completely separate and competitive tv channels, just like Sony and Microsoft are direct competitors. Dealing with one to use the other is…pardon my French, completely retarded.

Not that I was going to play it anyway. Enjoy it if you want, though

I seriously don’t even understand why people are excited about this game.

I played the first Outer Worlds on GamePass. I love SciFi and really enjoyed the setting. But it got so bland and predictable quite quickly that I dropped it. I picked up Witcher 3 soon after and loved that game even though I’m not a big Fantasy person. I finished the main story plus a bunch of side quests and still recommend it to people today. How people play these two games and still find Outer Worlds fun is beyond me.

RisingSwell,

I enjoyed it for one run. Tried to do a second playthrough and… nah. One is enough.

This is actually hilarious after the Sony accounts for steam games debacle

Panie kochany, ja dopłacam do tego interesu

I have never paid more than $60 for a video game in my entire life and I don’t intend to. I’ll wait for a deep cut steam sale.

A nasza prawica pieje z zachwytu. Ciekawe czy tak samo będą się cieszyć jak Rosja nas zaatakuje a Trump uziemi nasze F 16 i rakiety. Myślicie, że tego nie zrobi? Właśnie wyłączył Ukraińcom ATACMSy i systemy walki elektronicznej w ich F 16-tkach.
