Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!
falidorn@lemmy.world 1 year agoOuter worlds was received perhaps even better and was more popular than Avowed is currently. People’s memories are fuzzy I guess but Outer Worlds was a genuine GOTY contender.
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.
Disco Elysium isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It certainly wasn’t mine. And I love Outer Worlds.
It sold 4 million copies. The press lathered it with praise as a lot of major media outlets gave it 9s.
Game Critics Awards: Best Original Game DICE awards: Best RPG Nebula Awards: Best Writing Game awards: nominated for four categories, including game of the year
It was nominated and won other awards as well
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.
Don’t apologize for having an opinion. Just apologize for discounting the ones that don’t agree with yours. It’s listed as very positive on Steam and sold very well. Your hyperbole about everyone saying it was bad is provably wrong.

I’m surprised it was so well reviewed, I remember being very disappointed with it. Everything felt so small, and shallow.
