Had it been one big open world I would have bought it, don't like this half solution stuff..

1. Huge anime titties
2. Better hairdo choices(probably limited because long hair is hard to animate)
3. Improved gunplay
4. Better graphics in general
5. Terry Crews

I think most of this stuff is because of budgetary constraints, especially the one continuous open world and gun/enemy variety issues.
Hopefully their next game with more money behind them will let them unleash a bit more as I'm sure they can do it.

I don't think you quite understand how game development works journo, sure some of the things you listed could be improved but there is such a thing as budget restrictions. They are not (nor have they ever been) a AAA studio.

Their list:
1. Better Gunplay and More Weapons
2. Fewer Fetch Quests, Please
3. More Interesting Perks
4. A More Cohesive Open World
5. Better Enemy Variety and AI

I'm really enjoying it but it just doesn't have the atmosphere of the Fallout games IMO.
Fallout 3, New Vegas and 4 are all better games IMO.
And I just love the VATS system in Fallout, blowing an enemies head off in VATS never gets old.
The combat in Outer Worlds is a bit naff, I've found melee much more effective than range weapons.
And it's too easy to steal stuff in Outer Worlds, you can literally crouch behind an NPC and steal a weapon that's on a table right in front of them or empty their cash register. And if you do get spotted you can always easily intimidate/persuade your way out of it.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
