As much as I hated Fallout 4, it's still superior to Outer Worlds. Obsidian games have great writing but fuck me they make boring as hell games.

Fallout 4 was not great, but The Outer Worlds was a poor imitation.
It was honestly closer in formula to Mass Effect than the Bethesda games anyway.

I like both games, but Outer Worlds cannot compete with Fallout's scope and amount of content.

I really enjoy FO4; that's even with not really digging the building mechanic. It's a fun Bethesda engine RPG... huge amount of content, lots of playstyle options.. what I expect from them.
Outer Worlds bored me a few hours in.

Outer Worlds shouldn't be in any list of Game of the Generation, or Game of the Year, or Game of the Week even. F4 easily.
ED: If you're curious, the Game of the Week for that week was Luigi's Mansion 3

Yeah, OW has way too many ugly people. They're a total eyesore.

Fallout 4 at least offered a big sandbox with decent exploration and emergent fuckery. Outer Worlds' locations were sterile, bland, and outside of bad scripted combat encounters, featured little to do besides traveling back and forth between NPC waypoints. I also quickly grew to despise its one-note
'wink wink' satirical tone.

It should be Outer Worlds considering my opinion of Fallout 4 but atleast Fallout had a lot more going on than Outer Worlds did. If Fallout 4 had the dialogue options of Outer Worlds just imagine how good it would have been.

Triple A shooter with building mechanics vs a double A RPG that wasn't that replayable due to a lot less funding, not really a fair comparison, Fallout 4 was a good game but not a good RPG and the outer worlds is a good RPG but limited, i can't really vote here, but i will be getting the dlc for the Outer Worlds as i enjoyed the game, but felt a little disappointed after playing both games.

Definitely fallout 4. While I enjoy outer worlds vanilla slightly more, I sank 200-300 hours on fallout 4 with various mods playthroughs and is eventually my game of the generation because no games this gen is both open world and support such robust modding capabilities. I doubt the future bethesda games will have this level of mod support either, Fallout 4 could be the last game that can be played like this.

After NV, I though Obsidian would knock it out the park but The Outer Worlds was so damn boring.
Let Bethesda craft the world and Obsidian do the writing and design the quests. This makes for a top-tier RPG.

Being heavily biased against Bethesda(just being transparent)
Outer worlds is actually a good game and it has character.

You...are just pulling these games out of your ass right? Because not many people in the entire internet consider Fallout 4 or TOW games of the generation. That being said F4 is better.

I was kinda wondering what the criteria for selecting the entrants are, but Fallout 4 has/had huge player numbers on Steam, and must have sold really well. Outer Worlds is a bit of an odd choice, yeah

FO4, it's more fun TO play, best exploration in a BGS game, side and main stories aren't as bad as people say and are enjoyable IF you don't compare it NV, very good shooting and looting.
Good DLC too.
Outer Worlds I've not played yet and by the looks of it i won't be anytime soon, what I've seen of it reinforces my thoughts that everyone with talent has left Obsidian a long time ago and now they're no better than Bioware.

Loved the outer worlds, but I lived in Fallout 4. Altho, soms parts of Fallout 3 were better IMO I still had alot of fun. Then again, if Beth doesn't changes it's ways next gen I will probably like Outer Worlds 2 over Fallout 5.

I'm sure it had big numbers just because of mods. You know which ones.

Haven’t gotten a chance to play Fallout 4 yet.
I enjoyed New Vegas but Outer Worlds just couldn’t hold me past a few hours unfortunately. Something about it just didn’t grab me.

It was BGS first game after Skyrim, it was going to do well regardless, sex mods or not.
Edit: Doesn't mean the game is great or anything, hype sells copies.

Fallout 4 is an improvement of Fallout 3 in almost everyway
World Design, Settlement, Story, Graphics, Town, combat and cities
It has my favourite companion too : Nick Valentine
Fallout 3 better in one thing : dialogue
Dialogue in F4 sometimes felt stupid and simplistic
Outer Worlds is like a lite version of Fallout 4

Man, honestly, I don't even remember FO4. I mean, I remember playing it, but I don't remember completing it. I'm PRETTY sure I did, because I remember blasting through the campaign main quest.
The Outer Worlds was an interesting game, I know it was a really good one. But man, it didn't hold my interest whatsoever. It scratched that Fallout itch a bit, sure. But it was like playing Fallout without VATs in an environment and with an art style that just felt less appealing to me.

It has its issues, but I've still replayed Fallout 4 a bunch of times over the years. Doubt I'll ever touch Outer Worlds again.

I keep reinstalling Fallout 4, playing for an hour and then uninstalling again. Probably the most mundane game I've played from Bethesda.
I honestly enjoyed The Outer World's for the first dozen hours or so, but it started to wane after that until I eventually got bored.
Both kinda average really but The Outer World's was decent enough to stay Installed for a while

Fallout 4 is a great game, regardless of what it did to hurt the franchise. In a vacuum, not called Fallout 4, it'd be pretty well-respected. Outer Worlds is very GOOD but not great, it's a shame because I expected something like a spiritual successor to New Vegas but it's nowhere near that.

I couldn't believe how bored I was by The Outer Worlds after all the pre-release hype it received. I expected to at least enjoy it as much as a Bethesda rpg. I literally can't remember a thing about it, except for the map in the spaceship. That's the only mental image I can conjure up.
