Nah I wasn't calling it a bad thing. Its just like all GaaS style games (I know its a stupid acronym) its a way to get people invested into their games. They can just update and add expansions and people will keep coming back for more content.

This is just turning into a norm for consoles on some games. Which to me is worrying as it gives publishers and excuse to rush and release a game even when its not complete. Especially when they are selling a game on a model on the store depend up on it.

I've subscribed to WoW and have subbed many other MMO's so I know that once a game or publisher 'hooks' you in you're basically in. I've been subbed since the origional WoW a few years into release. And come back every once and again.

Yeah, I definitely don't want them to rush the games out incomplete, I hope 343 won't make that mistake again when they got slaughtered for it with Halo 5, I'll have to actually see MP first before worrying about any content issues, the campaign is claimed to be bigger than both 4 and 5 combined so I have no worries there thus far.

From a gameplay standpoint, it looks great Imo, it seems to run fine and there's no noticeable frame-rate issues or whatnot, the main issue is the graphics which honestly, while they aren't the best, they don't really bother me too much, I mean, I'm still on the shitty One S so I'm still very excited for the upgrade, I'd be happy for stable framerates.

That is why I tend to avoid MMOs, I don't want to get hooked and next minute I have thousands of hours in the game. I can ignore most GaaS titles though, I'm pretty much play the campaign, play some multiplayer, move on.

Obsidian I'd expect to still release a single RPG, a couple of expansions then move onto a sequel like they're likely doing with The Outer Worlds 2, I think it depends more on the culture of the studios, plus I doubt Obsidian would be able to support it, it's not their typical M.O

True. If they want to sell people on a game it should be polished and solid from launch but at least the gameplay looked decent and it sounds like they are putting more effort into SP. The Destiny model will most likely work out for them as the game can constantly be update and evolved. I'm tempted to play it on PC, in between my massive backlog and other mainstay games lol.

Yeah, MMO's are dangerous. It can be so addictive but at the same time its can be so much fun to play with friends, like any multiplayer.

I would say MS would want some Studios like Obsidian who are efficient at churning out games to keep the system and GP an RPG machine. I have no doubt that they will work on a sequel to The Outer Worlds after they are done with DLC/s. I can see them churning out at least 3 games on Series X/S. I'm personally more interested in Avowed. That game is rumoured to be bigger in scope than Skyrim, that's nuts.
