I do have one funny story from Outer Worlds; when I was getting ready to do the mission where you enter the Pink Crack Ice Cream factory I randomly decided to take the Robot along because... I hadn't taken him anywhere at that point and I wanted to know what if anything that he did. So I go to the Pink Crack Ice Cream factory, and first thing I see on my radar is a million red pips and every last one of them is a robot. My Anti-Robot gun was completely out of ammo and I think any Anti-Robot Melee weapons would have been on a different companion, so combat was just going to suck. I get into a Dialogue Screen with the first Security Droid at the front. "Lockdown is in effect, leave or be terminated." The camera turns to S.A.M. and that random decision to bring the Roomba goes; "[Luck 7] Ice Cream." The security bot goes "Oh shit, you right." and every last red pip disappeared once Dialogue ended. I walked through the facility, snagged the thing for the diet toothpaste guy, and never had to fire a shot because I randomly went "I haven't taken S.A.M. with me yet, sure." on the Companion screen.
"I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. And, for some f*cking reason, they're speaking Vietnamese. The trees can't be harmed if the lorax is armed." My new favorite quote

HEY, we rimworld players at least make sure our colonists are well fed!... -and we definitely don't sacrifice the weaker ones to the Scarabs. No. Not at all.
Saw someone once describe this game as "Redditpunk" and Yeah no I have nothing to add to that. Also, as a Michigander, lmao, did not expect a Mackinac Island reference EDIT: Nice to see John Gonzalez get the respect he deserves. Everyone leaves him out and just credits Sawyer and Avellone for FNV despite the fact he wrote like 70% of the game
Trying to remember anything about OW feels like trying to remember a dream or a concussion. I legitimately couldn’t describe a single scene from it if I tried. Shame considering it was trying to be New Vegas but IN SPAAACE.
What also sucks is trying to recommend people The Outer Wilds, and they end up getting Outer Worlds instead and tell me the games bad. Then I find out they played the wrong fucking game (true story involving one of my buddies btw)
The game really goes out of its way to make clear they want as many of the yokels dead as possible lol, Spacer's Choice guns are known for malfunctioning and jamming, the nearby power company hacked their own security bots and had them kill all the workers instead of firing them, then painted it all as a random error/glitch lol. At one point Sophia literally orders you to do the same to Edgewater. Throwing them a bunch of shitty malfunctioning guns to make matters more bloody seems in character, especially since their actual smart people are all frozen, they woke up stupid middle management first and let them build and run society so bad ideas are all they've got lol.
I feel like this game is forgettable enough that it's not much of a different experience to have played it. Also he's making it seem more fun than it really is.

When it comes to The Outer Worlds, the game is actually related to "fuck you" Bethesda, but it didn't come from the game but from the gamers. After the premiere of The Outer Worlds, all gamers undeservedly praised this game to the skies, out of spite for Todd and company, but when the emotions subsided and everyone saw that they had exaggerated a bit, in order to balance things out, gamers started complaining a bit excessively about The Outer Worlds, which has never hidden the fact that it is not a AAA game, but an AA one.
I think that was entirely because this game was announced at the same time that Fallout 76 came out to unanimous outrage. Of course, after the internet calmed down and Bethesda started patching the games, opinions were quick to switch.
I didn't realize I was watching Outer Worlds and not Outer Wilds until he told me. "Taking the evil path is like soundproofing the Fuhrer Bunker so they can't hear the Soviet artillery close in," is wild.
its fun if you actually try. roll low intelligence, spec into melee with the gravity hammer... and enact your preferred timeline on the world. i feel like ppl dont experiment at all in a game and then claim its cookie cutter lol.

Great summary at the end, pretty much matches my impressions, especially the quaint anti-corporatism. (Reminded me of Cyberpunk, where it’s actually amusing considering how violently murderous practically everyone you meet in the city is.) Outer Worlds was fun for around 10 hrs for me, but I never felt compelled to continue playing. Tried twice now and never got beyond that point. Some good dialogue writing, though. For example: * In response to someone who mentions a nuanced situation, “If I wanted to deal with nuance, I wouldn’t be so heavily armed.” * At an intimidation check, “Would you accept payment in wanton violence?” * An insurance sales pitch, “We’re running a special on dismemberment policies. Buy one, get one half off.” * A: They say discretion is a virtue. B: You ain’t wrong, but I prefer a man of vice, myself.

This may be petty but my main gripe with Outer Worlds is the strange and very boring fashion options. Pretty much all clothes are either gilded age menswear or something you'd spot on an extra in a generic space western. Like can I wear something nice that won't make me look like my granpappy owned slaves? (Also no skirts? Don't tell me the mighty Unreal Engine 4 couldn't do cloth physics either!)

@@username1660disagree. Fallout 4s is 5/10: it’s serviceable but often forgettable and not great, similar to a lot of CODS writing. Outer Worlds is a 3/10: it gets repetitive in a bad way and has somehow less depth than a lot of 4s factions because that at least had the question of “are machines people?” in it occasionally. It’s awful (to me at least) but fuck it, I can push through. Ride to Hell is a 1/10: it’s boring, frustrating, without ANY logic what so ever, filled to the BRIM with “sex for sex sake”, and from the start you want to split your head open. It’s absolute garbage of the worst variety.
I say without a shadow of a doubt, if i could only watch one youtuber for the rest of my life it would be you Big Beak, your comedy is gold "getting hired to soundproof the Fuhrer bunker so they cant hear the soviet artillery approaching" goes so fucking hard lol
Always gotta love how AAA publishers buy a studio that was doing well on its own, give them less time and less people to work with, and then act surprised when the game doesn't come out as good as their previous titles and then shut down the studio.
my sister and i are obsessed with these videos. loved the michigan mentions as someone from detroit, its always my fav when we’re mentioned! super excited for the starfield one!!! 😊
Man I've never seen one of your videos before I was just searching for a good Outer Worlds video and this was the first one that popped up. Holy shit man what a great video.
“it was well received at the time” i remember people being kinda luke-warm about it on release. “its ok I guess but its nothing great” was the overall sentiment I got.
@@KindofBradAtThis "It's like Starfield but good" Nah. Starfield tried to take the Bethesda formula but stretch it into a space RPG. Outer Worlds is a watered down New Vegas with cringey Marvel humor.
First video I see of yours and I honestly really liked it. I don't _want_ to compare you to Max0r, mainly because I don't like comparing people and let that be all there is too it, I'd much rather let them stand on their own merit, but as someone who was recommended your stuff from a "if you like Max0r, check out this guy" perspective, I might actually like your video more. Better sound mixing (at least imo) and the quick, snappy editing style while not being at an absolute breakneck speed with millions of details flashing all at once made me feel like I could more easily keep up while still being thoroughly entertained is a nice sort-of middle ground that I quite enjoyed. Also the short "full thoughts" part was super nice. I got to hear your actual feelings, get a bit more of an overview that gave the earlier jokes more context, and it was a nice wind down that made sure the video didn't feel like it stopped kind of abruptly. Keep up the good job.
My biggest regret is missing the other half of Pavarotti"s side quest. Never getting her that date with the Groundbreaker leader. Also that final boss sucks if you get robo phobia.
The Rick and Morty/Firefly mashup that no one asked for. And I've played a lot of these kind of games where you're allowed to kill all or most of the NPCs, but none have instilled the kind of rage necessary for me to actually do a genocide run until I played this game, and I wouldn't feel that again until BG3.
As a person from Michigan I can tell you right now there is not an upper Michigan. It is just a piece of land called "cell service death/tree blind hunting land" Also fun fact its the only place AT&T actually works
Glad to see you come back in full force. You haven't missed a beat. Definitely looking forward to that eventual DCOM ranking video. And yes, I will still watch them all. I know you told me not to, but the potential to be bored to death and resurrected like Kiefer Sutherland in Flatliners sounds too good to pass up.
Went from maxor to running shine at the end there, also i'm sad you didn't mention the final dialog with Helen at the end of the murder mystery dlc has skill checks for teamwork and leadership (i think that's what they were called), which wouldn't be bad if they weren't lvl 150, who the hell maxes those skills, not me which is why I ended the dlc with a pat on the shoulder and and awkward walk back to the ship
only thing i remember from the second half of the game is killing the chairman under house arrest and locking myself out of the villain route because every guard in the rich area was ordered to shoot on sight.
This game really was one of the games ever made. It shot itself in the foot at every opportunity. It was fairly polished, just uninspired. Hopefully the sequel is what we really wanted.
24:42, yes grounded is goated game, even tho it's a survival rpg game combat there is WAY TOO GOOD for that kind of a game, if you skilled enough you can run a glass cannon build while just parrying everything, and if you're not, get a heavy armour, a shield and tank everythnig, there's also different skill build options you can change on a fly, try it out, it's a lot of fun, and it does rpg element very well for a game not even advertised as rpg with mmo elements (as you can play a 4 play coop), i didn't expect much from that game, but i got a lot of fun from it
Weird thing to point out, but the intro-segment music was the same choise as "The Great Kuva Farm" by Hermos (Warframe -related topic). And right from there onwards, I knew this was going to be a blast of an game review. 10/10 😂👌 I laughed all the way! Thank you for this!

@@eliaspanayi3465 ah man. This sucks. I wanted to have fun running around in power armor the game gave me in the first 20 minutes. Now all I have is capitalism bad simulator.
I remember when it came out crystal clear. Most consequential game I’ve played due to it, kept my mind away from a lot of troublesome thoughts when a very close immediate family member had passed two days prior. The whole great deal of agency in the game really sucked me in, with a whole new universe but feeling like fnv a bit still, kept my mind off of things when I got really, really down. Finished my semester and maintained my will due to that game. I’ll always maintain that. Funny, charming and creative, lot of replayability imo. Maybe it was cause I needed something fresh. I still can’t wait for the second one and loved the dlc!
Thank you for the new content! I've seen the peanuts and fallout videos so much I was going to risk playing Fallout 76 again and watching all the Peanuts specials
I will say, I do appreciate how he does his videos. The first 3/4th of the video is just him dicking around and being funny, then the last 1/4th or so is an actual, we'll thought out synopsis and review of the game
"The Apocalypse Was A Group Project." But the thing is, every group project has one guy doing 99% of the work, and the rest doing 1%. The apocalypse happens not just because a person did a bad thing, but because a large group of people failed to stop that one person from doing it.

Fallout 4s is 5/10: it’s serviceable but often forgettable and not great, similar to a lot of CODS writing.
Outer Worlds is a 3/10: it gets repetitive in a bad way and has somehow less depth than a lot of 4s factions because that at least had the question of “are machines people?” in it occasionally. It’s awful (to me at least) but fuck it, I can push through.
Ride to Hell is a 1/10: it’s boring, frustrating, without ANY logic what so ever, filled to the BRIM with “sex for sex sake”, and from the start you want to split your head open. It’s absolute garbage of the worst variety.
"a character who i have no jokes about" is the most savage thing i have heard said about that chick so far.
Parvati is a queen
Hard agree on the loading screens/in-game advertisements, that Anthrocillin poster was my phone's wallpaper for months.
I say without a shadow of a doubt, if i could only watch one youtuber for the rest of my life it would be you Big Beak, your comedy is gold "getting hired to soundproof the Fuhrer bunker so they cant hear the soviet artillery approaching" goes so fucking hard lol
Took me until like the 4th Felix Dropkick to realize that was becoming a recurring gag.
Always gotta love how AAA publishers buy a studio that was doing well on its own, give them less time and less people to work with, and then act surprised when the game doesn't come out as good as their previous titles and then shut down the studio.
my sister and i are obsessed with these videos. loved the michigan mentions as someone from detroit, its always my fav when we’re mentioned! super excited for the starfield one!!! 😊
Wasn't expecting to hear The Good Friday Agreement referenced in a video about Outer Worlds! Had to replay it back.
Idk getting rid of one guy at the top hasn’t proven to be the worst option…
It’s a good game. It’s not the most replayable game but it’s definitely underrated. Hopefully The Outer worlds 2 will be more replayable
13:30 library of ruina music detected
Update Friday flash back
I'm glad to see fellow PM cultist here
I need this man to do a review of library of Runia or Lobotomy Corporation
30-minute video at 6 am on a monday? sign me up baby!
Man I've never seen one of your videos before I was just searching for a good Outer Worlds video and this was the first one that popped up. Holy shit man what a great video.
“it was well received at the time”
i remember people being kinda luke-warm about it on release. “its ok I guess but its nothing great” was the overall sentiment I got.
2:02 arkansas mentioned
As a Michigan resident, thank you for reminding me that this was a game I played years ago and not just a memory of the time I went to Detroit
Lmao came here after the announcement for Outer Worlds 2.
The this video pops up I think its time for another playthrough. 🕺🏿🕺🏿
It's like Starfield, but good!
And much like Starfield entirely forgettable
@@leviticusprime4904 too each their own king
Nah, Starfield is actually a good Space RPG. Outer Worlds is all of the worst aspects of New Vegas given the spotlight.
@@KindofBradAtThis "It's like Starfield but good"
Nah. Starfield tried to take the Bethesda formula but stretch it into a space RPG. Outer Worlds is a watered down New Vegas with cringey Marvel humor.
@@Riley_Mundtcalling Starfield a good Space RPG has to be a joke

First video I see of yours and I honestly really liked it. I don't _want_ to compare you to Max0r, mainly because I don't like comparing people and let that be all there is too it, I'd much rather let them stand on their own merit, but as someone who was recommended your stuff from a "if you like Max0r, check out this guy" perspective, I might actually like your video more. Better sound mixing (at least imo) and the quick, snappy editing style while not being at an absolute breakneck speed with millions of details flashing all at once made me feel like I could more easily keep up while still being thoroughly entertained is a nice sort-of middle ground that I quite enjoyed.
Also the short "full thoughts" part was super nice. I got to hear your actual feelings, get a bit more of an overview that gave the earlier jokes more context, and it was a nice wind down that made sure the video didn't feel like it stopped kind of abruptly. Keep up the good job.
My biggest regret is missing the other half of Pavarotti"s side quest. Never getting her that date with the Groundbreaker leader.
Also that final boss sucks if you get robo phobia.
The Rick and Morty/Firefly mashup that no one asked for.
And I've played a lot of these kind of games where you're allowed to kill all or most of the NPCs, but none have instilled the kind of rage necessary for me to actually do a genocide run until I played this game, and I wouldn't feel that again until BG3.
you get my asexual lesbian mechanic wifes name out of your fucking mouth
As a person from Michigan I can tell you right now there is not an upper Michigan. It is just a piece of land called "cell service death/tree blind hunting land" Also fun fact its the only place AT&T actually works
Glad to see you come back in full force. You haven't missed a beat.
Definitely looking forward to that eventual DCOM ranking video. And yes, I will still watch them all.
I know you told me not to, but the potential to be bored to death and resurrected like Kiefer Sutherland in Flatliners sounds too good to pass up.
Went from maxor to running shine at the end there, also i'm sad you didn't mention the final dialog with Helen at the end of the murder mystery dlc has skill checks for teamwork and leadership (i think that's what they were called), which wouldn't be bad if they weren't lvl 150, who the hell maxes those skills, not me which is why I ended the dlc with a pat on the shoulder and and awkward walk back to the ship
outer wilds is the game we all confuse for outer wilds
no, you're thinking of outer worlds, not outer worlds
This thumbnail could equally describe cult classic game released on the same day Outer Wilds
only thing i remember from the second half of the game is killing the chairman under house arrest and locking myself out of the villain route because every guard in the rich area was ordered to shoot on sight.
This game really was one of the games ever made. It shot itself in the foot at every opportunity. It was fairly polished, just uninspired. Hopefully the sequel is what we really wanted.
The game is a very solid RPG. I don't know what you people are smoking.
24:42, yes grounded is goated game, even tho it's a survival rpg game combat there is WAY TOO GOOD for that kind of a game, if you skilled enough you can run a glass cannon build while just parrying everything, and if you're not, get a heavy armour, a shield and tank everythnig, there's also different skill build options you can change on a fly, try it out, it's a lot of fun, and it does rpg element very well for a game not even advertised as rpg with mmo elements (as you can play a 4 play coop), i didn't expect much from that game, but i got a lot of fun from it
I love that game so much
Game is so goated
Mom can we have Outer Wilds?
We have outer wilds at h- GOOD LORD WHAT IS THAT!
Your videos are great.
I hope you cover Cyberpunk one day. Loved the game but I still want to see your deep-fried review of it.
Eventually. I am planning to start the CDPR arc after the Starfield video.
@@BigBeakEntertainment Can't wait.
@@BigBeakEntertainmentHere's hoping all the DLC is released before you're done.
As a Detroiter, this video felt like a call out 😢😂
Lol, space RFK Jr. Making an appearance
Weird thing to point out, but the intro-segment music was the same choise as "The Great Kuva Farm" by Hermos (Warframe -related topic). And right from there onwards, I knew this was going to be a blast of an game review.
10/10 😂👌 I laughed all the way!
Thank you for this!
Finally a new videoooo! I was beginning to get bored watching the fallout ones 25 times in a row.
This is an amazing summary of a story that still 80% happens if you never trigger any conversations and just bop everyone.
God, that RFK brainworm institute quip hits harder after the cabinet announcements.
I feel like having another Kennedy in a position of power is a good thing, and he's pretty well vested in keeping worms out of our food.
Besides, between having to rule without your entire cranium, your lungs and neck, your entire body, or the half of your brain that was surgically removed, RFK is the most intact Kennedy who could hold office.
We're not in the fallout timeline we're in the outer worlds timeline
@@eliaspanayi3465 ah man. This sucks. I wanted to have fun running around in power armor the game gave me in the first 20 minutes. Now all I have is capitalism bad simulator.
Clicked on the video and genuinely had to check which channel this was, editing made me think I got Maxor's channel without realizing.
Great video
Congrats on the 113K subs. You definitely deserve them.
dawg he recorded the ending over a year ago. Thats my goat
3:24 average Parvati enthusiast (she's awesome)
I remember when it came out crystal clear. Most consequential game I’ve played due to it, kept my mind away from a lot of troublesome thoughts when a very close immediate family member had passed two days prior. The whole great deal of agency in the game really sucked me in, with a whole new universe but feeling like fnv a bit still, kept my mind off of things when I got really, really down. Finished my semester and maintained my will due to that game. I’ll always maintain that. Funny, charming and creative, lot of replayability imo. Maybe it was cause I needed something fresh. I still can’t wait for the second one and loved the dlc!
Great start to my day with a new video from you beak!
This is one of my favorite games, I’m glad to see others enjoying it.
Thank you for the new content! I've seen the peanuts and fallout videos so much I was going to risk playing Fallout 76 again and watching all the Peanuts specials
I know the Outer World wasn't perfect, but I still really enjoyed it.
Can't have shit on Groundbreaker.
I will say, I do appreciate how he does his videos. The first 3/4th of the video is just him dicking around and being funny, then the last 1/4th or so is an actual, we'll thought out synopsis and review of the game
"The Apocalypse Was A Group Project." But the thing is, every group project has one guy doing 99% of the work, and the rest doing 1%. The apocalypse happens not just because a person did a bad thing, but because a large group of people failed to stop that one person from doing it.
Vicar Max has Abelard vibes. Also this was the best summarization of this game I’ve ever seen. Well freaking done my dude 👍🏽
2:48 Hear me out...
No
Ok
13:48 The real reward of the DLC was the small dog
Parvati's friendship questline definitely gives the game a whole extra point for me; one of my favorite video game companions
Referring to the Upper Peninsula as "DLC Michigan" is absolute gold and I'm stealing it
Only thing I remember about this game was the beginning and end but great review
-Kills everyone
-Refuses to elaborate
-Flies into the sun
Exactly the same as in Outer Wilds, so that's why
God yes! This is what I have been waiting for, ever since hearing the soundtrack in the background of some of your other vids. :') Great content as always! :)
As someone born in Michigan and raised in Texas, I am convinced off of this video I am a powerful being on the likes of Australia.
The goat is back
5:21 “my studio in Christ, that’s the plot of idiocracy” lmfaooo
Honestly I liked this game a lot. Played it back when it first came out and after watching this im giving it another go with the dlc.
SAME!
I thought this was about "outer wilds"
There is, in fact, something in the game that kills everyone, that we have no information about, that then flies into the sun
