Then a murderous entitled driver in an SUV crushed him.

Was the title edited? Cuz it clearly says ‘driver in an SUV’.

Idk, I very rarely ever see a 10/10 on Steam. Gonna go ahead and trust the hype on this one.

Yeah, it’s easier to make decisions when you don’t have to think about them anymore.

I’m sorry but I genuinely don’t care what game journalists think. Their opinions are about as valuable as mud, and at least I can grow plants from mud.

Every single discussion I see searching up on Google ‘is Outer Worlds good’ are sponsored reviews from people who got the game for free, or B average reviews from people who got the game for dirt cheap. When I find what real people have to say about Outer Worlds, it’s almost unanimous that it was bad.

No, there wasn’t - Skyrim is the video game equivalent of makeup on an otherwise uninteresting individual. Might seem pretty at first, but the lack of depth or meaning dulls any beauty.

Yeah that doesn’t track at all with what I remember people saying, and what I remember thinking myself.

I distinctly remember people citing the repetitive gameplay, short campaign, shallow choices, etc. I’m not sure why it was ever a GOTY contender, but there simply never was any way it would ever beat a game like Sekiro. It’s likely that “new Obsidian RPG” drove any hype surrounding the game.

Edit: Disco Elysium came out in 2019, that fact alone tells you that Outer Worlds being a contender was uhh… if not fraudulent, then certainly questionable.

Isn’t that the problem though? Pandering by creating overly masculine women doing things that men traditionally do?

Idk, maybe I’m over simplifying it - but I’ve known a decent amount of sexists that love Alien. I don’t think she was overly masculine, nor do I think her role was overly masculine. Idk.

I think it really depends on why the story has a female lead.

I think Alien is a good example, Ripley could have been male and it really wouldn’t have changed the plot that much. If I’m not mistaken Ripley actually was male at one point in the movies writing.

Doesn’t matter that the shift happened, it happened, Sigourney Weaver fucking smashed it out of the park and the rest is history.

If the story is good and happens to have a female lead, I don’t think people are actually against it. The Menu is the first movie to come to mind, I don’t think anyone said anything about the lead in that being female (although being a lead in an ensemble cast with damn near equivalent amounts of screen time is kind of meaningless). I think what people are against is blatant pandering because it usually indicates that the product is poor.

Edit: this is my limited, anecdotally rooted opinion. There are probably a decent amount of people who will just not watch a female lead. I’ve known women who won’t watch something or play a video game without a female lead or the ability to create a female character, so I assume the same has to be true for men.

Your knowledge will always be less valuable than their ignorance.

Yes, and with that definition it becomes a contronym. As in a contradiction. As in the word no longer peforms the function it once did. And before you say ‘bUt LaNgUaGeS sHiFt OvEr TiMe’ - the word virtually literally peforms the same function as the new definition.

Who am I kidding, discussing the importance of articulation to people who never learned the definitions of the words they use has always been a losing battle. Your knowledge will always be less valuable to them than their ignorance.

Because the rotting flesh sloughing off their bones would give away that they are, in fact, necrophages. Ghouls, if you will.

Why… why am I in this meme?

Weak bladders beware, with this one trick you will wake up early. Not the way you want.

Let games die

I remember Dark Athena being fun, but know for a fact Escape from Butcher Bay was fun.

😂 these people have money, you don’t get that by giving a fuck about other people. The right people? Sure. Everyone else? Eh.

So you’re tech savvy and you use AI as it should be - like a tool. Not a magic genie that will spit out code for you.

There’s an argument to be made that Reach was unique enough - but I will die on the hill that is “it still isn’t better than 3”.

Just play Ghosts of Sushi Mama - I can almost guarantee it’s a better AC game.
