I’d like to thank all the teenagers who used their mom’s credit cards to buy Fortnite skins so I can enjoy free GTA V, Control, Star Wars Battlefront, and now this game.

Is the DLC included or not? The title says it’s the Spacer’s Choice Edition but it’s also telling me the Spacer’s Choice Edition upgrade is $10
dinckelman@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Same experience here. I’ve already owned the base game, but none of the DLC. It let me accept Spacer’s Choice, which is literally just another store entry for the base game, but you can buy the upgrade for 10$ instead of 17$
ekZepp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I double checked, they say space edition but is only the base game.
Its_Always_420@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Spacers Choice is like a Game of the Year Edition. It has the whole game with both DLC.
stankmut@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It does include the DLC.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
I double checked and it seems to most definitely be the spacers choice edition. Nothing I have says it’s the base edition.
mp3@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Oh well, at least I now have the base game.
iAmTheTot@kbin.social 11 months ago
Lmao it's a rerun of last year.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
“Spacer’s Choice” is the remaster that includes all the previous DLC.
But please, please, please I am begging people don’t play this version. The remaster wasn’t done by Obsidian and it introduced many technical problems. The original game and DLCs are on Steam, and are worth buying on a sale.
Its_Always_420@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Upgrade is for people who own the old version only. Spacers Choice Edition is the entire game, DLC and all.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
My receipt, screen I selected for the game, and everything I see and can tell says it’s the spacers choice edition, which is the edition that includes the DLC.
I think the giveaway just doesn’t include the $9.99 dlc to upgrade the base game if you already have it to the spacers choice edition. In other words, if you have the base game only, get this giveaway and you’ll have the dlc for free via spacers choice edition.
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Spacer’s choice edition is the full game that is currently on giveaway.
If you owned the base game+DLCs, you get this edition for USD 9.99 when it’s not on giveaway.
IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 11 months ago
As far as I remember from the DF review, the spacer’s edition “remaster” isn’t any good. You’re better off playing the original game.
Though maybe only the spacer’s choice edition is free because no one bought it.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
DO. NOT. PLAY. THIS!
A lot of comments in this thread are confused about what “Spacer’s Choice” means. This is the “remastered” version of the game, which is very buggy an unoptimized. Texture pop-ins and laggy framerates are widely reported. For me personally I couldn’t even get it to run at all.
If you are interested in the game (shameless plug of my own review here), wait until the original version on steam is on sale and pick it and the DLC up. Page for the game:
store.steampowered.com/app/…/The_Outer_Worlds/
Yes, it is worth just buying the game over trying to play the “remastered” version for free and ruining the experience.

This was a Humble Choice game not too long ago, and it ran great for me if this helps.
giantofthenorth@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Would recommend trying it out, not the best game in the world but it’s solid enough
Marsupial@quokk.au 11 months ago
And still far better than Starfield.
giantofthenorth@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That was implied with the “would recommend it”
Damage@feddit.it 11 months ago
One of the okayest games ever made
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Don’t need anything from Epic Game Store. But thanks for the heads up.
Cheems@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thank you for your opinion.
Ghost33313@kbin.social 11 months ago
The price is right. This is the only game I ever refunded on steam. It is way more linear than they made it out to be.
peasinspace@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
still better than starfield.
looking forward to whatever obsidian does next
Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well they made Grounded which is pretty awesome
yamanii@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Great, funny RPG that was ignored because it launched near the disruptive Disco Elysium.
Also triggers ancaps, even though you can join the company’s side.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It was not ignored because of Disco Elysium. In fact I had never even heard of DE myself until like last year.
The reason it was “ignored” (it really wasn’t though) is that it was a pretty mid game.
TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ironically I heard more good things about Outer Worlds than from Starfield.
Jjcool27@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I remember this game being very hyped before release. When it released it was a very poorly optimized game on PC, don’t know about consoles.
I played it for a good 10 hours, hoping it would get good. It never did, so I dropped it. I still find fallout 3 and new vegas more fun than this.
yamanii@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The base version worked great for me and I have a pretty bad CPU, Ryzen 3200G, can’t say about this remaster.
New Vegas is better but fallout 3 is still the only one I find no joy in and hate every character.
yoreel@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
Shows me $29.99 now
SeaJ@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It was only available for free on 2023-12-25.
yoreel@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
I was tried claiming it on the day it was free, but I’m assuming that since the website kept trying to translate from another language I think the time zones were off from mine and the sale ended early from my perspective.
GutsBerserk@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Solid linear fun RPG 🦜
GreenPlasticSushiGrass@kbin.social 11 months ago
Thanks!
OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 11 months ago
If you have heard bad things about this edition performance wise, it’s in the past. Played it around 1 or 2 months ago and had no issues whatsoever.
Game itself is quite good. Liked Fallout better, but had fun with this one as well. Combat might get a bit dull after a while, but everything else was alright. Main story was solid, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking, same goes for side missions and DLCs. World / atmosphere was really cool, companions and dialog options were a lot of fun. You can take the usual evil/good path and slightly change the world (available missions) around you.
HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 11 months ago
to clarify, this is the Corporate Hellscape in Space rpg “Outer WORLDS”, not the comfy mystery game (with existential dread elements) “Outer WILDS”.
dom@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Man. Such a shame those games came out at the same time with effectively the same name
Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Haven’t tried worlds yet but wilds is a masterpiece that blew my mind and ruined other games for me. Might be my top game of all time.
lobut@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I just started (Outer Wilds) the other day. Not sure what I’m doing, lol. I died the first three times by not wearing a suit. I bought it purely on the recommendation on another Lemming (Lemmy user?) and they said just get into it and don’t look into anything else. Looking forward to just trying things on my next run.
pwalker@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Thx for the hint, it’s on Steam x-mas sale btw., including the DLC
ekZepp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yep, i also mistake them the first time.
TheActualDevil@sffa.community 11 months ago
It also certainly doesn’t help me remembering which is which when in Outer WILDS you explore different worlds and in Outer WORLDS the tutorial area is kind of an overgrown wilds in which you explore very few worlds. When I have to talk about either one of them I just say “You know, the one with the crazy gravity physics and planets” or “You know, the one that’s basically just Firefly the video game.”
DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 11 months ago
It’s even more confusing talking about the game because you can fly your ship into the sun in both.
GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 11 months ago
EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Outer wilds is very well regarded. I’ve only ever heard good things about it. I got it on sale recently and planning on checking it out soon.
