Yikes. Yeah, wish I'd know that would go up so steeply.

Re: Outward
Another middling review:
https://www.pcinvasion.com/review/outwa ... tasy-land/
Sounding more and more like it won't be my cup of tea, despite some interesting (on paper) ideas.
Also sitting on a Mixed rating on Steam when I checked last night.

Re: Outward
Who on earth are PC Invasion?
Steam reviews are going to be pretty worthless this early as people will have hardly put any time into the game.
I never expected this to review that well to be honest, it sits in that tier that studios like Piranha Bytes occupy. You are either willing to put up with the issues for the gem of a game that lies within, or you are not.

Re: Outward
I think if you're interested in this genre/type of game then reviews won't sway you either way. you'll be doing your own investigations and then buying it

I did get a bit of a Gothicy vibe reading what everyone is saying about it.DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 9:01 amWho on earth are PC Invasion?

If I'm honest though it sounds a bit of a drag to play with the iron man mechanics (at least the Gothic games had a quick save), lack of any fast travel options, having to go away and restock to retry difficult encounters... thinking despite the fact I generally like PB games this one won't be for me. Or at least not until it's dirt cheap.

Re: Outward
I get what you are saying about the lack of a quick save and if you don't get on with that then you wont like the game as it's an integral part of the game. It's stuff like this that makes me really interested in playing it though, it's totally different to other games out there.
This is the kind of thing that really interests me.

Re: Outward
This is a bit of a diversion but I saw you playing it on Steam Sly and wondered what you thought of that TC mod for Skyrim.
Re: Outward
Yeah, I've mentioned it in the currently playing thread, I think, but it is excellent. As good as a professionally developed game and I've been having a blast with it.DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 12:28 pmThis is a bit of a diversion but I saw you playing it on Steam Sly and wondered what you thought of that TC mod for Skyrim.
Considering it's free it's a no-brainer for anyone that likes Elder Scrolls games.

Re: Outward
Mine crashed after the initial 'setup' scene and I haven't been back yet to try to fix it.

Re: Outward
Weird, I've had a few crashing issues (but this seems at least partly linked to my tabbing in and out frequently), but nothing too major.

Re: Outward
Hm, actually I didn't say much about it there, I'd actually mentioned it on a Liverpool forum I post on, which has a small PC gaming thread. This is what I said there:DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 2:12 pmI must have missed that, I'll scrub back through the topic.Sly Boots wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 1:03 pmYeah, I've mentioned it in the currently playing thread, I think, but it is excellent.

Incidentally I finally got stuck into this about a week ago, and it's really good! It certainly feels like a game by a professional studio and not one by amateur modders, the voicework in particular is mostly of a level that puts some proper titles I've played to shame. I've also read there's about 100+ hours of gameplay, which given that in roughly 15 hours I've seen perhaps 10% of the map, seems realistic. It's basically as big as Skyrim (but far prettier, imho).
Doesn't hold your hand, either. I've had my arse handed to me numerous times in the first dozen hours, before I discovered a decent weapon. There's no level-scaling like in Skyrim, so it's more than possible to wander into an area too tough for you, which is great if you like a bit of a challenge.
Considering it's free - free! - to Skyrim owners via Steam it's an absolute steal. Highly recommended.

Re: Outward
Cheers, despite having a lot of games on my plate I have a hankering for playing something like an ES game.

Without wanting to big it up too much, I think it's closer to Morrowind than anything Beth has made since MorrowindDjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 4:46 pmCheers, despite having a lot of games on my plate I have a hankering for playing something like an ES game.
