S.P.A.C.E.I.A.L. is the best imo, it's best not to add to the confusion by having outer wilds in the title.

Agreed. Need to get away from that comparison as much as possible.
Hehe to each his own. PoE is a fine setting for an rpg and overall a stellar game. Don't get me wrong, I like sci-fi too but just based off the footage I've seen this reeks of Bethesda Fallout games which is not a good thing. I'll be pleasantly surprised if I I like what I'm playing come Friday.
The game has a mid 80s average, you're just concern trolling.
I don't have a dog in this fight and I don't mean to derail the thread, but I'm wondering what kind of legitimate arguments would you like to see made against someone not liking the thing you like.
I honestly think PoE has one of the most generic settings ever. I also really didn't like the gameplay of either 1 or 2.
A first person sci-fi table top RPG experience is like gold dust for me.
I have to choose between this game or call of duty. I need some ps4 pro impression and how is the exploration part integrated in the game.
Holy crap! Better scores than I anticipated. Looks like MS/Obsidian have a hit on their hands.
No, I haven't reviewed it yet, they didn't send me a copy.
I want to wait for the Switch version but I'm dying to get an Obsidian/True Fallout experience

Hopefully by the time I've finished Disco Elysium in December some time the inevitable bugs and hickups in Outer Worlds will have been patched and optimized.
Think I'm gonna play as a shotgun wielding, sweet talking lady badass ala classic Pam Grier, but in space.

Does the Game Pass version share the same achievements with the Xbox version, as well as cross-save?
(And how does that work with Gears 5? Also cross-save/achievements?)

Bruh... Omg I can't wait..
I cant, I tell yah, I can't! These PC or X screens?
There will be a Switch version later. I guess if they had that in mind, base Xbox will be fine.
could be ps4 with the controller layout in the top left.
I hope not. I want it in the same style as Pillars 1+2. I just love the look, feel and gameplay of these two. They are among the most beautiful CRPGs. Isometric view with pre-rendered backgrounds is something we don't see often enough nowadays. Let them make something else with an AAA budget.
Here's our review on the Xbox One X version for Wccftech: 7.8/10
Let me expand on this. The combat has not evolved since Morrowind. The "moral choices" look to be the same "romp through muck" as any other game in the past two decades. Additionally the 50s sci-fi setting is a big turn off.
There isn't one. Different people like different things. You can assess the opinion and compare the criticisms without downplaying the validity of it.
I was mostly joking, but...
It can help simplify the creation of assets (backgrounds, characters, props), thereby reducing production budgets and/or empowering developers to create more stuff, more content, focus on quest and encounter design rather than having to design and polish highly complex 3D environments. It helps democratize access to the game, especially on older PCs. It allows for a God's eye view of a tabletop-esque battlefield, which is more conducive to the kind of combat—and combat systems—that I enjoy. It stops RPG designers from fuckign about with poorly implemented first-person shooting that is less viscerally satisfying than actual first-person shooting and less mechanically interesting than more traditional (or experimental!) RPG combat. It presents useful abstractions that aid the player's imagination, so people don't jabber all the livelong day about how the 3D-model voice animations looks "janky."
(I do like exploration in first-person games, and there are some truly fantastic first-person CRPGs past [Eye of the Beholder] and present [Grimrock), but every Bethesda first-person RPG since Morrowind has been largely miserable to me, and Outer Wilds is very much in that tradition.)
Yes! Just started the pre-download as we speak, 37.3 GB, 11.5 MB/s, wooo! :)
title of eurogamer review: The Outer Worlds review - RPG comfort food that never stretches the imagination
since the very first reveal, this's what this game's looked like to me - pure 'hey, haven't i already played this game?' while i'm sure i'll enjoy it, it does look to be just about as 'conventionally unconventional' a game as you'd ever wanna see. i'll be very surprised if i enjoy it anywhere near as much as i did fallout 4. we'll see...

True, but it's been the same thing in every Bethesda and Obsidian first person RPG - walk up to skeleton and left click until it falls down. Biggest innovation was making it slow motion on-demand.
