Avowed |OT| Is an oath worth the weight of a crown?

Cdkeys already had the code available. Started the preload on Xbox App. I wonder if I'm better off downloading it on Battle.net.
 
OST sounds like it was made by bad generic AI…
That is concerning.
Is it lack of theme or does it just seem out of place or annoying/distracting?

I will have to wait to hear it during gameplay and not while a previewer is gabbing away drowning it out.
 
Review embargo is up. I guess the reviews are good and destroying the narrative as there's no review thread dancing on its grave yet.
 
One review was posted early and removed was 95/100 or something… still waiting though keen as for this.

2 hours from now.

6AM PST, not EST.

How much would it cost to pay a month of gamepass pc plus the deluxe edition upgrade?


$11.99 for PC GP and $24.99 for the Deluxe Upgrade.

Just wait a few more days, I'm not getting the upgrade for this, unlike Starfield, there's no tied DLC or expansion this time. I can wait a few more days for mostly cosmetic stuff.

It depends on where you live. In the UK, you can purchase GamePass for £8.99 and upgrade to Premium for around £20.

Yeah it's probably gonna be around 30 euros in italy then.
 
Awoved, Indiana Jones, Ninja Gaiden 2....good time to grab a gamepass thingie

Pretty sure avowed will be a fun game, but of course desperate YouTubers will find something DEI to cling to, spin it for the mindless zombie mouth breathers that follow them, and we'll have another outrage cycle.

Why don't you create a review thread instead of concocting narratives about why there is no review thread?

Please no Veilguard bullshit. i mean cmon how incompetent can you be, ffs?
Eh, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

SkillUp, who HATED Veilguard, was very positive on Avowed in his impressions video a few weeks back.

Always remember hating on stuff gets you 3x the views/engagement on YT.
 
Well my copy is not out for delivery yet, but it is supposed to deliver today.

Amazon being mysterious.

You got the deluxe edition?

Amazon has been pretty shitty with release date deliveries last few months, hope they deliver.

Yeah. I went ahead and got the fancy steelbook.

It is supposed to be release date delivery. We will see how it goes.

Gamestop and Best Buy seem to be more reliable when doing this.

The fuck? and to think there were rumours a few months ago that it might be locked to 30fps, and now performance mode is 1800p? sound great on paper.. hopefully it's looks and runs good.

I reckon all modes are using UE5's TSR up-scaling and not native.

I don't think a single console game released this gen has 1800p native UE5 at 60fps.
 
Around 80 on meta, very good. I'm not going to bother posting in that review thread anymore, just a bunch of warriors diarrhea'ing on each other in their echo chamber.


He says it's well worth your time and how much it captures the essence of Pillars Of Eternity.


Thanks for posting this.

Video makes the combat look very good. A little disappointed to see there's not much love for melee builds in the game but at least something is there, unlike Starfield.
 
FYI, the game does not continue after beating the narrative but you are given a point of no return.

So side quests etc will need to be finished before going to the end-game.
 
I love these days how a point of praise is "the product is delivered without major faults". Like so many games are so broken on launch it's a miracle to get something that isn't bugged to hell.
Will be interesting to see if this is better gameplay wise than Veilguard, probably the writing will be better but that's not saying much.

Thanks for the heads up, i was just about to head in lol, wont bother.

Cohhcarnage is playing the game and he seems to like it so far after an hour or so. He says the combat feels really good.
 
Really, I should ask for a discount from Amazon because they cut into my early access time.

You actually should. like I said above, Amazon has really gone down the shitter over the last 10 to 12 months in terms of release date deliveries.
