Probably a thread for this but I searched and couldn't find one. Comes out next week. You can play it on gamepass if you have that.

I really want this to be good. It irks me deeply that they keep marketing this New Vegas knock off as "from the devs of New Vegas" when director Josh Sawyer didn't touch this (was busy on Pillars 2) and Avellone left the company, but the devs that are on it (Cain and Boyarsky) did Fallout 1 and Arcanum, so it's not like it's the B team. Would love to see footage from more than a couple hours into the game so I can get a real meaty taste for the quest design, but I'll have to settle for user impressions.

Arcanum is fucking brilliant so that has me extremely excited. This is coming out of nowhere for me. Plan on day One'ing it.

To be honest I don't really go nuts over Obsidian like a lot of forum people do (I like Fallout New Vegas more as a modding platform rather than for the game itself) but since Bethesda has been pretty MIA this generation I'll take anything to fill that void. I think I have my expectation set firmly right down the middle of the road so anything above that will be gravy.

I am hype for this but haven't been following too closely aside from initial reveal and overview. I know the graphics aren't really the point, but looks jankier than I thought it might? I mean it looks fine, but definitely more AA, very New Vegas-y release (as in looks like a giant mod).

Is this supposed to be episodic/expanding or fully baked at launch?

Am def going in with moderate expectations, people are setting themselves up with this one, expecting something akin to what Bioshock was. I don't think it get's that high but would love to be wrong.

who hasn't spent 8 hours trying to kill a Deathclaw when your character is at level 4?

I got a bunch of dynamite from the Powder Gangers. Then lure them and jump on rocks their pathing can't get on. Throw dynamite at them.

RPG-wise I feel like this is in line with my 10 Intellect character. If you can't beat them normally, outsmart them.

Ya, I'm excited.

Doubly so that the game is apparently like 15 hours main quest, 40 hours if you 100%

Short games :rock

Anything less than 100 hours is a rip off....

Actually I feel like 10-30 hours is the sweet Spot for almost any single player game.

Action games closer to 10, RPGs on the longer side.

It is not open world like Fallout in that its one large play space all connected. The comparison they make is to think of it as area based like Borderlands or Kotor.

Sounds like the lack of a massive single sandpit world isn't really a point of negativity. Seems like a smart way to build a game where each sandpit is large enough as they need to be to hold whatever narrative thread and content they can pump out vs. Bethesda trying to fill an ocean of a sandpit with automated systems to mask the anemic content by comparison.

Since the reviews didn’t mention any issues with bugs I couldn’t help myself and preordered it on PSN :lawd

And it’s a tight 40 hour RPG instead of a 200 hour monstrosity :mouf

I guess, but I usually find more directioneless open (world) games are harder to get back into if you play and stop. Something more structured is a bit easier (for me).

If you are on xbox you can play this now via the New Zealand swap location trick. (Just set your location to New Zealand and it unlocks immediately. Swap it back to America after the game unlocks in America)

The perma death of companions is the only thing keeping me from doing it. Hard sounds like the way to go at first.

I thought the same. On the initial playthrough I don't want to spend all my time reloading because my idiot AI can't preserve their life.

Xbox App?

Just go to the Windows Store.
Trying to get in on the Game Pass thing, which demands I install their Xbox beta app. I did, but can't sign in.
Actually, it tells me I did sign in, but the app doesn't reflect it at all and just asks me to sign in again. No error messages, no nothing. :doge

edit: OK, I got it working. You do not have to install the Xbox app. Already forgot where I read that I did, but I'm glad I don't. Downloading now...

Feels weird to 'buy' a brand new game for 1€.
