    Same here, though I heard middling reviews for the first game, so I probably won't play it regardless. Not that I'd pay $80 for a videogame anyways, lol. Even if it was HL3.

      $80 is twice the annual mountain biking pass at my local state park. Not a chance.

          It was also short. For 80 dollars I would expect 120 hours in game like RDR2. That's the bar. If it's not that long, I think I finished the first one in 25, then I'll happily wait until it's lower

          RDR2 is such a slow-burn masterpiece that I'm still enjoying that game years after it released. The game is longer than 120 hours given how it implies you take your time and enjoy the views, the immersion and the story. RDR2 was deliberately designed to be a high inertia experience that takes its sweet-ass time to start off and difficult to slow down when its going.

            It’s almost funny that the most recent trailer ends with the line “the game about capitalism, made by capitalism.”

              Oof. I love Obsidian, I really do, but The Outer Worlds 1 wasn't at all the kind of game I was looking for. NPC's felt very cardboard-y, each and everyone you had to talk to was anchored to one place, the world didn't feel lived in or alive. That's gonna be a no from me dawg.

              That and the completely garbage inventory with no good filter and sort. That first game felt like a demo with lot of polish but didn't feel like a precursor for an $80 game. And already cost me $30 for the first time of meh.

                  I have paid roughly the same price for 3.5grams of cannabis since 1992. The quality has vastly improved but the price remains the same. That does not suggest that inflation is bullshit.

                    RDR2 is so great the NYT film reviewer mentioned as one of the best stories that year.

                      Does the quality differ? I think it makes a great discussion and maybe a good analogue of current economic state of affairs

                          I don't mean to sound mean or dismissive, but... I feel like I'm the only one who played the first Outer Worlds. It just feels like it's one of those things that was supposed to be a thing, but wasn't a thing. Don't get it twisted, I'm not complaining that they're making a sequel. I'm relieved and hope it does better, I just remember more people complaining about Outer Worlds than talking about it. So I'm hoping this second chance for the franchise really helps it get off the ground (Unless it was a big hit and I'm just badly misinformed about how well it did) But that 80 dollar price tag? Lemme tell you that's not a consumer friendly choice, that's Spacer's Choice.

                            Do you live somewhere where it's still illegal or something? Because I used to pay like $40-60 for an eighth depending on how good it was before legalization and now I can pay like $6 for an eight of mids or $15-20 for some good shit.

                              I played it in the hospital waiting for my wife to go into labor haha. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I remember it. I tried to replay it recently and made it about halfway through before moving on. I ain't paying $80 for it and there's no game pass on Linux. Guess I'm waiting for a sale. 🤷

                                I also found it underwhelming which is a shame because I generally love Obsidian RPGs. They did a much better job with Avowed recently in my opinion.

                                          No I im in a place where it is legal. I paid $45-60 for high grade in the 1990s in NJ and that’s the same price it is now. The higher grade stuff just got consistently better.
