      Obsidian is a great example that there are good US devs. I can’t think of a bad game they’ve made

        The Outer Worlds was really not good. It had it’s moments for sure, but so do Skyrim, Oblivion, and Fallout 3. New Vegas was amazing though.

          I keep hearing so much love for Outer Worlds but I found it just… Meh. I didn’t mind it, but the “picture + text” endings for character arcs seemed rushed and underwhelming, and the character development was minimal.

          And I make one “wrong” dialogue choice and so my ship’s engineer will be alone forever, and never truly happy? WTF

            Yeah, when comparing to New Vegas, Outer Worlds fell flat for me. I’m sure it’s a fun game to some, but I just don’t see it when there are plenty of games that do it better.

          I liked Outer Worlds. I think it was a decent game, especially considering the budget was tight since it was developed pre-MS acquisition.

            I’m glad that you enjoyed it! It’s just that as someone who almost exclusively plays these types of games (RPGs) it just didn’t hit the mark for me. Bland characters, bland story, bland companions, bland worlds, bland dialogue options (besides the ones for being low INT, those are actually funny!). I love what the vision was, but I just personally feel like they fell very short. Just my opinion though, of course!
