This week, The Outer Worlds was released. Obsidian's sci-fi role-playing game may not push the genre forward in any radical way, but it is an excellent example of what's possible when player choice is promoted above all else. I'm busy playing through The Outer Worlds for the third time in about as many weeks, and I'm still finding new ways to complete quests and build my character. It's a fantastic RPG.
Again, The Outer Worlds released this week. You know what else released this week? Fallout 1st. A subscription service for Fallout 76 that'll set you back $100 a year. A subscription service for Fallout 76 (incredibly generous Metascore of 53). I could write that down a thousand times and it still wouldn't make any sense. I don't know how we ended up in this nightmare of a timeline, but as a die-hard Fallout fan, watching this embarrassing, blatant attempt at trying to squeeze an additional fee out of the people who somehow still enjoy Fallout 76 makes me want to throw up.
Speaking of sick, how sick is that Ranger Armour that you get for subscribing to Fallout 1st? That iconic design from the beloved Fallout: New Vegas. Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas. You just couldn't make it up. This is what Fallout is now. The butt of all jokes and somehow a test subject for some of the most baffling business decisions of this console generation.

I didn’t care for the BL Pre sequel’s. BL 2 is a must play if you haven’t.
Yep, for sure.
I don't want to be a sponge, watching other people doing things. I want to do things.
Gaming is great for honing reflexes and mental acuity.
...and if playing MMO or co-op you can enjoy social interaction with others.
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll keep it in mind.
Together do they follow a storyline,
so that it would be better if I played the Pre-Sequel,
to have a better grasp of the story in BL2?
BL2 is stand alone. I actually played it first. It was so good I went back and played one. The Pre-Sequel has an entirely different feel to it. It has a dare I say millennial/snowflake feel to it. People may say I am imagining it but that is how it struck me.
Thanks for the info!
Probably be a while until I get to it, but I’ll keep that in mind.
