Third game finished for the year: The Outer Worlds 2. Much improved over the first one I think. I liked the Order Faction and tried to ally with them, but some quest bugs and maybe unclear choices led to the more neutral ending, which was mildly disappointing. But I liked the journey.

The Order of the Ascendant's radio station is the best one by far. Science lessons and recitations of the digits of Pi as songs? Sign me up.

Outer Worlds games are very interesting to me but not for reasons you might think. When I am playing it, I'm having a blast.

Outer Worlds games are very interesting to me but not for reasons you might think. When I am playing it, I'm having a blast. Even though the story, characters and overall writing kinda makes me want to shoot myself sometimes (I skimmed through most dialogue so fast I even got a perk for it), I still enjoy picking the dialogue options that pissed people off the most. The moment-to-moment gameplay and roleplay options are great and immersive. Roleplaying as a dumb psychopath with itchy trigger finger is a lot of fun. Combat is better this time around too, melee is a bit janky but shooting feels really good with decent amount of variety in weapon types.

But the thing with this game is that once I completed it, my brain is probably gonna flush everything out. Some fun memories might be spared but for everything else? Straight down the drain.

Oh well, at least it's better than Avowed. That game bored me to death I uninstalled it right after finishing the prologue. Maybe if I had not played that after KCD2 I could've gotten some enjoyment out of it.

I was just looking at my wishlist and noticed the price. Microsoft increased the cost of their games by 33% in only a couple of years:

€60

  • for Forza 5 (2021)
  • The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (2023)

€70

  • Forza Motorsport (2023)
  • Avowed (2025)

€80

  • MS Flight Simulator (2024)
  • The Outer Worlds 2 (2025)

That's only the basegame too. The premium edition of Avowed is €90. For TOW2 it's €100. Wow. Kinda ironic too that they used a game with a strong anti-corporate theme to push for a new price point.

Supposedly this is coming to PS5 for launch, which would seem to mark Microsoft’s official shift away from the previous strategy to make all of their first party studio titles exclusives. I know that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is coming to PS5 some time in 2025, but The Outer Worlds 2 launching on PS5 day and date with …

Supposedly this is coming to PS5 for launch, which would seem to mark Microsoft’s official shift away from the previous strategy to make all of their first party studio titles exclusives. I know that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is coming to PS5 some time in 2025, but The Outer Worlds 2 launching on PS5 day and date with Xbox and Game Pass represents a pretty significant change.
