Until they get a top surgery scars featured on the front of the box artwork, can we really call them allies, or are they just saying the right things?

What is that around their neck??

Edit: Wait, you mean to tell me that people actually go out with what Im guessing is a handkerchief around their necks? When did this happen?

Im not one to knock some fashion choices, but wtf? I dont think i could help myself with laughing.

This is the look of a modern gangster, they also skip wen there on roads dealing.

Its banter levels land somewhere between Guardians of the Galaxy and 2023’s Dungeons & Dragons film – which will be off-putting for people for whom the Avengers style of dialogue has not so much soured as entirely curdled.

This is what bothers me.

I’m glad it’s on Game Pass so I can check it out. I liked Outer Worlds but their humour just gets tiresome after a while.

Coke zero is the only coke I will countenance drinking. But my heart belongs to Pepsi Max.

Raises suspicion when the first quote in the article is about how great the combat is when that was what was targeted previously by players for looking floaty and bland.

Pepsi gang unite!

I have a question regarding the music of Avowed: Is it known who is the composer? I quite liked the soundtracks of Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2.

Article aside everything I’ve seen so far looks good.

No doubt that causes pain for some people.

It's causing pain for me because it means I need to put in some serious hours into Stalker 2 so I am ready to play when this drops.

Music in PoE was sereeeenee.. only played it for the first time a year or two ago and wished I had played it sooner.

I absolutely LOVE contemporary banter in my medieval swords and magic game!

James Gunn has done an immeasurable amount of damage to the entertainment industry.

It would be extremely weird to have this kind of conversation on the Pillars of eternity setting. Both previous games where pretty dark (especially the first) and a lot more somber in tone.

Yes, to the point where such dialogue would be completely nonsensical pandering, exclusively.

I dropped outer worlds because every character was insufferable and the game itself was boring. This doesn't sound any different.

Yup. The one thing I really liked about Outer Worlds was how there were so many ways to complete each quest.

Everything else kinda sucked though. Combat felt really bland and half baked, difficulty balance was all over the place, skill/character progression was so bland and pointless.

And of course you could see the wokeness beginning to take hold of Obsidian with the heavy handed “capitalism and rich people = bad” messaging and the way they tried soooooo so hard to make you love asexual lesbian Parvati (who’s apparently the only decent and sympathetic character in the entire universe while everyone else is a detestable piece of shit). Plus the their attempts at humor and kitschy retro-futurism felt so forced and derivative.

The more I hear about Avowed the more pessimistic I am about its chances of improving on Outer Worlds

Don't plan on getting this trash anyway.

 

[grvg]

oh yes I love me some heckin marvel dialogue. I can’t wait to meet my companions and Hear their witty quips.

Move over, planescape torment.

No developer should go to The Guardian to promote their game.

They have cursed it.

Targeted by players who didn’t play the game or are going to spread negativity because it’s a Microsoft game?

Those players?

No. Just by people who saw the combat in the trailer and thought it didn’t look good.

 

[SmokedMeat]

People that didn’t play the game. There’s footage and opinions of people playing the game. We’re beyond old trailers at this point in development.

I didn’t say they’d played the game.

I’ll wait until the public get their hands on the game rather than Xbox’s curated personalities, as personally I agreed that the combat looked poor.

Man, might need to get this for myself, it looks awesome

The art director does seem like a person who loves blow dicks, especially Elon's

It's always in those deadpan eyes.

Dunno, the game is good as is.

I bought it last week as well. I played it once in 2007 and another time few years later. I think vanilla game is perfectly fine.

Still looks good in 4k/120!

Would you actually want relationships with all the women that look like dudes? I mean they all have ugly faces and weird hairdos except for one, and she is a lesbian. So what relationships can you have unless you play a female character? I guess there is that, but go back to the my first point. BG3/mass effect, outer worlds is not.

The Lesbian being Parvati yeah i liked her, and even though you can't romance anyone her story mirrors my sisters story who is also lesbian so she became more of a sister like figure especially when you do her companion missions. So i did feel sympathetic toward her and how she grapples with her self BUT i only really did those mission for experience and hopefully to level up faster. I feel like my character is just existing minimal input , it doesn't really matter my choice because for the most part even if someone disagree their not leaving unless i let them go. They're also so devoid of any emotion for the most part it just feels empty talking to people for the most part.

Even Ellie the other girl whose the medic it just feels like shes fine with anything. Even if i wanted to play evil i don't feel like i would face consequences that would make me want to start over from a previous save, whatever happens i think i would be okay with it. BG3 in particular the amount of times i went to a previous save and got several different outcomes SCARED me....i've never had an RPG do that. Again i like Outerworlds it reminds me of olders RPGs , but i just feel like they could've done more here, and its sad that their trying to do more of the same with Avowed.
