If its as light as the first one, all I can say is "YARRRG"

I really enjoyed the first game, not AAA new game price enjoyment though. I mean, I got as much fun out of it while playing as I have anything else, it just wasn’t as rich and deep as a fallout game. I give it a pass since it’s establishing a new universe but as much as I liked it, it’s most certainly a blue light special fallout clone.

So, asking inflated AAA prices seems, somewhat short sighted. I’d absolutely pay what I did for the first game, 80 bucks is a hard no for me though. I might buy it when it’s cheaper, but by then I’ll likely have seen enough clips, read enough reviews and gotten busy enough to just forget about it.

Bummer.

Bummer, but that's gonna be a no from me, dog.

If you assume 25% of player will buy at 80, 50% will buy at $50, and 25% will buy at $20. Per 100 buyers they stand to make $5,000. However if they start at $50 with 75% of buys buying at that price, they will make $4,250. This is about maximizing profit by selling to fans with deep pockets first then discounting latter to captured the rest of the player base.

i will continue to enjoy my indie games that cost me 5€, thanks.

better yet my free games like warframe that have cost me nothing and given me thousands of hours of enjoyment.

Just as heads up, Obsidian, I'll require this to be at least 75% off if it's good and over 20 hours of single-player campaign. If it's shorter, I can be enticed at 90% off. I'll wait for a few years, no problem, my family group backlog is in the thousands.

Wasn't the first game entirely average? And now he wants $80 for the sequel.

Then why DRM?

80? What the hell?

Everyone can play your game 🏴‍☠️

With all due respect, outer worlds is a $40 game at best.

Microsoft makes the world worse again. Fuck ms, go linux.

It'll go on sale for $15 eventually. I can wait.

Support your local libraries. My city’s library system is so good that I borrow games on release day all the time. You get them for 1-2 weeks, Most games that are older than a few weeks you can keep for up to 3 weeks, which gives me plenty of time to knock them off my list. Im sure I’ll get this one soon enough, im currently playing AC Shadows which I borrowed

Wishes everybody could play

Good news!

As long as it doesn't have Denovu, we can!

That's honestly badass.

I'm glad and surprised they said this. Major props to them.

I'll play the game in like 4-5 years like how I played the first one years later for way cheaper. So cheap I couldn't be disappointed with the writing and just enjoyed the solid but unremarkable game

I bought the first one for $20. For the second I'll play on Game Pass, if it is available, or again wait for $20. Maybe even less if I forget about it, which I might.

Setting aside prices, I've seen an unexpected amount of sourness directed at the first game. While the first game wasn't a greatest of all time RPG and had flaws, I found it overall enjoyable enough and it was clearly a project with some passion that I didn't regret sinking time into it.

I expect similar of the sequel, with hopefully improvements based on feedback from the first game. I plan to have fun with the game, and it is a bit tiring to see things like the pricing prompting people to badmouth the game itself when they are separate things.

Am I going to pay $80? No. No I'm not. This is a single player RPG though. There's no FOMO of getting left behind on the multiplayer unlocks or the lore of a new season. It's a singleplayer game. Put it on the wishlist and buy it on a sale. Simple as.

I won't buy this at full price, when Outer World's two goes on sale at 50% or more off, that is when I will buy it! By then, all the major bugs should be resolved, and new content will be making this game even better. I blame Obsidian Games from not trying to shout down Microsoft and fight them in a Waffle House parking lot over this price.

When game prices reach 80 dollars, I reach an era where games have ceased to be that important. Path of exile all year long
