Avowed - Obsidian's new game, like Pillars of Eternity meets Elder Scrolls

[Miller]

That explains why Jason Schreier "loves" this game, because he hates white males except for himself.

He is Schrodinger hwite.

No other numbers yet but 199 reviews with early access, game's dead as fuck, even fucking underage gay sex simulator had 10k in the same time frame. So did Civ 7.

Rockstar has always made fun of Leftists and Rightists.
They make fun of everyone.

See the issue is, a while after RDR2 dropped and the crunch fiasco happened. They came out after restructuring and made a big gay retarded press release about how their writing in games will no longer "punch down." Which is globohomo-nuspeak for "Our games are going to be irredeemably bad now."

this shit is going to do sub troonguard numbers and hopefully kills obsidian for good

 

[CyrusHowler]

Are you retarded?

No but you are.

120$ price tag?

People legitimately believe that nonsense? Lmao.

I almost feel vindicated for 'defending' Bethesda for so long. Their games may not be perfect, but they still do enough right to be fun.

I *do*.
All the tards upset that KCD 2 is the same shitty game as the first one but now with wokery, Obsidian being garbage finally coming to light after I’ve been saying it for years. I’m 2 for 2 right now and it’s great.

We’ll see.

Credits are also up

In no fucking way are these two games the same. Is he just ignoring most of the shit people crapped on New Vegas for was that it was a technical mess. Everyone, even at the time, agreed that the game was great and had amazing writing underneath all the issues. It also didnt help that we were still in the era where console gaming was the dominate place to play and the console versions were borked at launch, especially if you were like me and foolishly played on PS3. So no Jason you black cock sucking faggot, there was no gap between the critics and players over New Vegas, it was a amazing game released in a bad state. Avowed is a woke piece of digital trash that only retarded faggot "industry" people like and will be forgotten in a week, just like Outer Worlds. Hopefully people are finally waking up to the fact that the old Obsidian is fucking dead and gone, replaced with a woke, white male hating skinwalker of a company.

Real question, was Obsidian ever that good? All of their best games ride on the coat-tails of others work.
KotorII rides on KotorI, all it could do was be marginally better in all aspects that don't really matter.
Stick of Truth is guided in tone, story, everything via the SouthPark branding.
FO New Vegas, anyone could have improved FallOut3, it was bad. NewVegas is still a bare improvement over FO3 and really the project says more about Bethesda being garbage and not Obsidian being good.
Then they tried to make their own FallOut with Outerworlds and... it's somehow more forgettable.
And now we have Avowed which looks like it's going to be just as forgettable.

I'll say for the Kotor games you can give them a nod. Sure it's star wars but they did a lot of interesting things with it. I'll give a nod to NV because a lot of the people writing it are the same people that wrote the stuff for Van Buren, which I say counts. All the people that wrote the old stuff were the type of people that would gladly stay at work until 3 am drinking mountain dew and playing GURPS to create adventures, they liked what they did.

I'll even defend Fallout 3. When it first came out it was a unique game, sure it was Oblivion with guns and has a lot of flaws but at the time it was pretty cool. Stepping out of the vault and seeing the ruined down, digging through stuff and finding old letters. At the time it was innovative.

All those old guys that wrote the good stuff have moved on though. Now there's people that probably sit and begrudgingly write their trash during work hours and forget about it when they go home. That's what Outer Worlds was and it was obvious.

 

[Mike Matei's Penis]

Why is this stupid game plastered all over Battle.net? There's not even any relation to Blizzard. It is desperate



I almost had a heart attack I thought I bought the game, it's just game pass fuckery

The easy way for them to cope about these numbers is gamepass, which Bethesda fans did not too long ago with Starfield's abysmally low concurrent player count compared to its predecessors. I don't want to celebrate prematurely but this is what they deserve.

it aged like shit lmao.

rest in piss Obsidian, you were supposed to look at Forspoken and take notes on what NOT to do.

 

[The Man With No Name]

I don't think anybody wanted this game. There's very little to no crossover audience with PoE who mostly want a dull CRPG. (I don't even hate it, it's just lacking in any distinct flavor)

If you took away every element of Culture War from this, it still has NOTHING appealing about it. There are a hundred games that do this or something like it better. I have a feeling that playing 20 hours of ESO would be a more gratifying experience than Avowed. At least you can kind of think about games you enjoyed playing before there.

 

[Endless Torment]

Before the art director decided to open his mouth everyone was tepid about the game, because Outer Worlds was just extremely disappointing.
Bethesda is going to have a similar problem on whatever their next game is because of Fallout 4, 76, Starfield, and the Fallout 4 next gen upgrade that broke shit.
You can only stand on pedigree if you continue to match expectations.

 

[Deus Exica]

Real question, was Obsidian ever that good?

No. Obsidian has always been highly overrated. Their most critically acclaimed games require dozens of mods and fan patches to approach playability, and everything they have ever made has been buggy, incomplete, or so jank it is barely worth playing.

The only thing they HAD going for them was genuinely excellent writing and interesting ideas (often floundered in execution). But as they got older and became gayer they systematically purged writers like Avellone (who makes it clear he has no love for the company) from their midst in favor of genderqueers and homos.

Modern Obsidian has traded extremely flawed but interesting games for more traditionally 'good' games with all the intrigue of a wet paper. I look at Avowed and I just see Veilguard, the same boring forgotten realms neon homosexual fantasy we have seen hundreds of times already. Yawn.

 

[IDontLikeLiberals]

I liked the first Pillars game. Probably because it was the first that led to the renaissance of older style RPGs that came out like Torment and Divinity later. That's probably the last good game Obsidian made. I haven't played the second Pillars but it doesn't seem popular around here. I have no interest in modern Obsidian. Outer Worlds came across as commie bullshit.

Microsoft is trying to merge all their storefronts. There's no reason to have a half dozen for the same platform.

 

[Gerelatha]

Obshitian lost, Todd won.

 

[Tor Lugosi]

I still can't over how they want $70 for this shit. It deserves to fail on that alone.

 

[Chapalapachapa]

The last good obsidian game is alpha protocol

Bullshit. I too got it at launch and everyone thought New Vegas fuckin sucked until a couple years later.

Hopefully people are finally waking up to the fact that the old Obsidian is fucking dead and gone

You say that like they were ever good in the first place.

Real question, was Obsidian ever that good?

No, literally no. Never ever.

All of their best games ride on the coat-tails of others work.

Yes, precisely.

KotorII rides on KotorI, all it could do was be marginally better in all aspects that don't really matter.

All aspects except story and feeling like a fucking Star Wars product.

I'll say for the Kotor games you can give them a nod

Fucking why? KOTOR 2 sucks ballsack compared to the first.

but they did a lot of interesting things with it.

If you mean being one of the least Star Warsy Star Wars products ever made then yeah, very interesting.

I'll give a nod to NV because a lot of the people writing it are the same people that wrote the stuff for Brotherhood of Steel Van Buren.

Top notch people you got there.

No. Obsidian has always been highly overrated. Their most critically acclaimed games require dozens of mods and fan patches to approach playability, and everything they have ever made has been buggy, incomplete, or so jank it is barely worth playing.

But when I say it, there’s a problem.

The only thing they HAD going for them was genuinely excellent writing and interesting ideas

Like what? Genuinely I’m asking. I’ve never once thought to myself that any of their games had good writing.
That’s not because of “bad media literacy” either. Some of my favorite pieces of media are films and books that are regarded as some of the greatest works of all time. So I know damn well it isn’t me.

Obshitian lost, Todd won.
