    I don't mean to sound mean or dismissive, but... I feel like I'm the only one who played the first Outer Worlds. It just feels like it's one of those things that was supposed to be a thing, but wasn't a thing. Don't get it twisted, I'm not complaining that they're making a sequel. I'm relieved and hope it does better, I just remember more people complaining about Outer Worlds than talking about it. So I'm hoping this second chance for the franchise really helps it get off the ground (Unless it was a big hit and I'm just badly misinformed about how well it did) But that 80 dollar price tag? Lemme tell you that's not a consumer friendly choice, that's Spacer's Choice.

    I was interested in Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky around the same time and played OW first. I enjoyed it while I played it and completed the story of the main game. Then I played NMS and enjoyed that a lot too but when I went back to OW for the DLCs I got bored quickly. Outer Worlds just seemed less fun after No Man's Sky.

      People are struggling to buy groceries. CEO: Let's raise the price of a good people don't need because money. I can only hope this move backfires spectacularly.

        It's The Outer Worlds. It will. The first game was shit. The game it was confused with became the greatest game ever made. Go buy that one instead.

            From what I've heard of the plot of that game, this is kind of apropos.

                No man's sky is not anywhere near the greatest game ever made. Id honestly take outer wilds over either game being discussed. Outer wilds has a charm that's impossible for a AAA studio to match, and it's a solid gravity sandbox besides that. The NMS game loop is just trying to make number go up as efficiently as possible for nanites and credits. It's not *fun*. It is and always has been a grind.

                  No thanks. The first was not good enough to warrant buying the second at $60, let alone $80.

                  Agreed. $40? Id think about it and probably wait for a sale anyways. $80 is just laughable and completely removes any temptation i had to check it out.

                    Same. I was willing to keep Outer Worlds 2 on my radar because I love Obsidian and they've earned my attention even though I didn't particularly enjoy Outer Worlds 1, but at that price point the game has dropped off my radar. Unless it's getting New Vegas level praise post launch I probably won't be paying any more attention to this game.

                    Similar. Although I happily leave it at my wishlist and buy it once it's diacounted like $15... I still have way more games to play than I can manage.

                      No, they're referring to The Outer **Wilds**

                        I'm pretty sure they meant Outer Wilds, which is one of my top games of all time.

                          Where does No man’s sky come from ? How could it be confused with The outer worlds ? People confuse it with outer wilds, both no man’s sky.

                            It’s almost funny that the most recent trailer ends with the line “the game about capitalism, made by capitalism.”

                              Other commenter said NMS, I confused it with this one thinking they were talking about the same thing.

                                  Thought it said Outer Wilds 2 for a split second and got excited.

                                    Guess I'm waiting another two years after launch for this one too.

                                    Two years after The Outer Worlds: “oh mods will make it better, I got it for free” They didn’t. I respect the same for the second game. But also free. And wasting SSD space.

                                      Was there a big contingent of people waiting for a sequel? I recall the original game being massively hyped and actually being pretty disappointing once I played it.
