Outer Worlds 2

[maflynn]

Is getting beyond a joke with games being released in incomplete states.

Paradox did that with Cities:Skylines 2, and unlike No Mans sky or Cyberpunk there is no resurgence with that game.

I would have hoped that the industry sees how NMS/Cyberpunk are the exceptions and if you release a buggy or incomplete game you'll lose $$ and it won't recover it.

Paradox just did it with Vampire Bloodlines 2 ... maybe not totally unfinished, but the whole 'pay to get all 6 clans' fiasco was something to behold! And there have been patches and promised patches to go beyond *only checkpoint saves* (and much more). It will be added to the 'Duke Nukem Forever' pile of 'we waited HOW many years for THIS?'

To be fair to The Outer Worlds 2, while the patch notes are pretty extensive, the game was highly playable on day one and while there are obviously bug fixes and balance tweaks - if you downloaded and played all the way offline, you would be just fine.

The galling part is that Paradox promised to be better and do better after the cities:skylines debacle, but they hadn't.

They sort of did that it again with Surviving Mars:relaunched. I've not incurred bugs with the game, but many players are wicked angry at the bugs, so much so a hot fix was announced for today (or this week)

Like many major publishers, lie for expediency, plan on the public's fickle memory...

I (finally) listened to this video, while driving home, I liked it and his coverage. I looked up the previous one where he was just 30 hours in. Good reviews. He is very descriptive and covers all aspects you would want him to.
