Game Pass is hands down the best subscription service around at the moment. It will only get better next gen with more studios under Microsoft and X Cloud if you have both a PC and Xbox. Surely it's not profitable on the current model if everyone gets it though. As I like to play as many new releases as possible I also have EA's PC sub (Origin Premier) and between that and Game Pass I'm actually saving a lot of money on games. I'll be getting Ubi's service before the next AC or Watch Dogs too. I'll milk it for all it's worth while I can. Sony will surely have to overhaul PS Plus next gen.

Sony have a service called PS Now which streams games and also includes a much bigger library of games. It's never been released in Australia due to our internet but games are now downloadable in US & UK so there is no reason they shouldn't be rolling it out before the next gen. I'm guessing they will try some sort of lock in strategy so people get 12 month deals mid next year and feel committed to upgrade to the new console when they drop.

PS Now has focused more on back catalogue though and is yet to match the other services on new releases. PS Now only just got God of War this month.

GOTY for me for sure. Ive spent 98% of the time just doing side missions and talking to NPCs. Love the dialog options they are mainly brilliant. Cannot wait to finish this and play through again with a different character

00Stinger · Oct 29, 2019

first couple of hours and i would say it is fallout with no mans sky graphics.

Pretty cool

Dang I just got Metro Exodus but I’m going to have to get this ASAP.

dwwaino · Oct 29, 2019

The longer I have gone on this is less Fallout, probably more like a Mass Effect game that is somewhat curated for an RPG. That's not taking anything away from it for me though. Just thought I'd mention it in the case anyone gets the impression it is New Vegas in space. Very similar feel however and very typical Obsidian.

I was going to get this from Amazon but it's out of stock and I'm feeling a bit impatient so it's the PS store

It's where I'm at with it, it's a space game with almost perfect dialogue (which is peak Fallout quality). I said to my brother if Fallout and Mass Effect were in the closet making babies and one of the babies looked at me it would be this game. It's like Fallout 4 and Mass Effect 3 combined to make a good game.

The graphics IMO are still like Fallout. Just with more colour.

Not IMO, but granted only played a little of that game.

atlas1 · Oct 30, 2019

Tried this out and it's ok. Pretty nice looking game but not sure if it's my thing. Never got into Fallout so that probably explains why

Will keep going (only got to Edgewater and been asked to get the power regulator) and see how it goes for the next bit.

Supersuns · Oct 30, 2019

Just finished my first play through. Thought it was great, towards the end I probably should of done more side missions but I’ll do that next play. All in all fantastic game, if a little short

DapperJong · Oct 30, 2019

Gotta be honest, I'm bored.

How Long Is The Outer Worlds? - IGN

It's not as massive as some RPGs, but it'll keep you busy for a minute.

www.ign.com

30-35 hrs for the main story and most of the side quests. Sounds like supersuns did mostly story, so maybe ~20

Yeah I wouldn't say bored just yet but I'm certainly not all randymarsh.gif like some. Not sure what the competition is but there's no way this would be my goty.

The scenery has more of a Borderlands feel to me. Kinda has that comic book look from a distance.

I was almost expecting this to be more enjoyable than Death Stranding just due to the weight of expectations that DS has. I'm looking forward to DS blowing this out of the water.

It's ok, just not as good as I thought it would be.

23 exactly. Fluffed around at the start doing side missions then went a little to hard on the main missions. After I got to monarch I didn’t do any side missions

pantskyle · Oct 30, 2019

I actually get how people could be bored. I have been at times as well but I chalk it down to just not being that into single player games as I've gotten older.
