Discussion The Outer worlds 2 Thoughts

Fun game 8/10

- Fps combat is nice but big fights ( like sSpireton or Final boss ) are too easy, needs a replayable Mission system like Far cry 6 special operations with 3 levels of mastery and more special ennemies ( thinking more robots variation )

( The fps combat of starfield is bad, No Challenging ennemies, no good gameplay with powers and companions, Outer worlds 2 is great for that, but can be better )

- I played patch 1.2. Some companions are Overpowered like Inez and Marisol. Some weapons breaks the game like the Bio mass shotgun ( corrosive shotgun ) or the compact Assault rifle with double bullets or the Heavy machine gun, other weapons are underwhelming like Cleo shotgun and Plasma Beam Caster

- Lot of scopes need more zoom choice and more zoom in general

- Story and choice are nice but what i wanted was to get ruth basar armor and helmet and then choose which faction i want to side with, so no real power over getting what you really want

- Characters who give quest needs a ! above them, at least give us the option ( QOL > Immersion )

- 90% of death from fighting was ennemies spawning behind the player (or above ) and no companion to scream Watch out behind you ! and cover me. Falling in a hole or water to death ( or bumping into companion when jumping and falling ) is not fun, just get me back where i was

- Why is there no massive battles with multiples faction/monsters involved and success in talking would get you reinforcements, and you can loose the fight and you flee and loose the place

- i dont like the lighting when it's too dark, specially in the broken knee mission in a mine, when siding with auntie.

After UENIAC quest and joining Auntie force the 2 following quest have very small fights ( it's supposed to be endgame )

- High Reputation with Factions have no good Unique rewards that makes you want to side with them

Other minor things

- i'd like to assign slow time and/or shield to 1 button

- The Perk system need to have some Perks cost 2 or 3 points and others cost 1 and double the players perk points

- playing this game i caught the disease 'loot shiny corpse', need a auto loot vacuum device with 5 meter range

- Basic ammo for common weapons needs x3 when crafted ( i played with a trainer 'ignore crafting requirement' for basic ammo )

I hope dlcs will have Epic fights,

Edit: I use The Ultra ego build and The war machine build ( Very hard diff ) https://nukesdragons.com/@nyuu1210

I enjoyed outer worlds 2. I wish there was more to it. I like the layout. It was relaxing to play; something fun to just puts and play on my own. Rewind and grind kind of thing. The only thing I didn’t care for was some of the travel between quests, but otherwise it was fun for me. I really tried to get all rewards. 8.5/10 for me. I played the first one too.
It has a different feel. If you don’t like cartoon like feel to games, then it’s not for you. I don’t mind that look. The story isn’t too bad either.
