Down to 80 on metacritic. It'll probably fall in the 70s by the end of it. All the bigger sites gave it poor scores (60-70) and it's the sites nobody has ever heard of that gave it 90-100.

 

[Raven117]

Even Reset is acknowledging that overall, this isn't very good.

Gawd, Obsidian, where did you go? Where is the Fallout New Vegas writing? Where is Pillars of Eternity writing? (Oh, that's right, you ran off Chris Avellone).

I know Sawyer is there, but its clear he has not been given free reign over their bigger projects.

 

[Thebonehead]

Good. The more women the better.

More nude mods.

I like the cut of your jib

 

[Buggy Loop]

This is a satire YTouber right?

This came in the side bar while watching the video, lol.

I'm a good Christian boi

Seriously wtf. This is "the" reviewer peoples waited on? with ~40 subscribers and his KCD 2 criticism?

He's the one?

Fricken hell, and its official NFL yt channel lool, those cucks have no shame nor self respect anymore, my condolences to american bro's who are nfl fans xD
Reminds me of that woke feminism US Army ad:

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Yup, it had that stink about it right from the beginning. I foolishly hoped that maybe they’d tone it down a bit

Is it because as a gay you wanted to look at toned men in the game instead? Fair complaint.

 

[Badlucktroll]

i got the early unlock. i guess it feels like grey corporate lifeless unreal engine microsoft slop

 

[Arsic]

After reading more think I’ll just stick with kcd2 and playing dice.

I’ll wait for monster hunter instead.

 

[DryvBy]

So its actually good? People saying its jank were baited by clickbait? Who would have thought

It's mainstream reviews and Xbox fans saying they love it. You might as well ask a hipster to review the quality and taste of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.

Holy fucking shit

 

[Evil Calvin]

And that’s with the usual Xbox shill sites already posting their biased inflated scores (e.g. Pure Xbox, TrueAchievements, XboxEra, SomosXbox, etc.). I’m actually surprised Windows Central gave it an 80, which is awfully fair of them.

I suspect it will stay around the high 70s on MC, low 80s on OC.

Considering most sites are Sony shills, it would likely be higher but they would never give an Xbox game a high score.

[HeisenbergFX4]

That statement means everything and nothing at the same time without knowing the details.

Also coming from the same people who chose to omit space marine 2 from their best looking games of last year showcase.

Meanwhile other outlets have detailed why they deem the game to be technically poor.

But you didn’t ask about any of that other stuff you asked how he came to that conclusion so quickly on a video just posted and like I said a quick rundown was right there in the tweet plus its pretty easy just to watch their conclusion

I can’t answer that other stuff

 

[Thebonehead]

You didn't see any of the posts from Sony bootlickers saying this was a shit game? How strange. Wonder why. You're a shit stirrer and a bootlicker that doesn't want people to enjoy this game. End of. Meme-posting dim wit.

Those same "Sony shill" sites that gave Microsoft games such high scores that they won Metacritic's "publisher of the year" a few years ago?

Compare this with KCD2, man what a joke

 

[PeteBull]

What is going on here with this post?

I know from our encounters on the forum seeing truth can hurt u a lot but its ok bro, it will be fine, just dye ur hair blue, shave half of it and yell like those

 

[Sebastian1295]

So i was excited for this game and now my hype has lowered drastically. 1 thing that kills immersion for me in any RPG is having static environments and NPC's, and avowed having that is horrific. When characters don't move then i feel like i'm playing a lifeless videogame and not a living and breathing world that has stories to tell and is alive.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Even ignoring their shitty insane views, this game still looks so boring. It seems to have that below Mid feel to it, the same thing that plagued Outer Worlds with this one looking and feeling even worse.

 

[nikos]

Definitely not touching this garbage.

 

[DeepEnigma]

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I don't know why. I can't quite pinpoint what it is, but the art style in this game seems aggressively generic fantasy to me. Which is wild because the cover art looks awesome, but the actual game doesn't look anything like it.

 

[GHG]

I didn't say he came to a conclusion. It simply made no sense for him to dismiss another person's take on the technical state of the game when he wouldn't have had time to watch the video in full.

I'm watching the video now and even their gushing summary doesn't tell the whole story.

Fucking hell, you can't make this shit up...

Now, where are the "both sides are equally bad" people ? I'd like to hear their spin on this.

That chunky duff ain't getting them Van Damme ups without help from camera angles/cuts and CGI.

People continue to play dumb about it

Skyrim is better. Not even joking here.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Skyrim is better. Not even joking here.

Even base Skyrim is way better with the amount of stuff and choices you could do in game. Modded Skyrim is just easily one of the greatest games of all times.

 

[Danjin44]

I would never know. People cant even agree on whats woke or whats antiwoke. It all puts me to sleep.

Reviewers should never put culture war crap on their reviews. Reviews should be about game itself and nothing else, audience themselves should decide if the game "woke" or not.

These days I can no longer tell whats "woke" and what not and it feels like people use that word simply for things they dont like....that word has no longer has any meaning.

Yup equivalent to that would be making ad pretending men are better kindergarten teachers/caretakers/nannies from women, every1 know its so unbelivable no cgi/spin will make it even tiny bit real xD

 

[Bridges]

I'm so pumped for this. Obsidian rarely misses

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Down to 80 on metacritic. It'll probably fall in the 70s by the end of it. All the bigger sites gave it poor scores (60-70) and it's the sites nobody has ever heard of that gave it 90-100.

Did anyone really expect differently?

It's a mediocre looking game, with mediocre performance, mediocre combat, saved by decent graphics and good lighting.

Damn man, it's an 80, not an 8, aggregate lol.

Chill, y'all.

I guess the game just needs to come out for us to get a real picture. Been the case for a while with bugs/performance issues.

Yup that shit aired during the Super Bowl. I feel sorry for all the guys who had to pretend it was a great commercial because their wives/girlfriends were around.

Given all the FUD lately, I'm going to say it's safe to assume that the scores are inflated. Happened with Indy as well.

Edit:

And no, I'm not saying these games are bad, just mediocre. Typical GP filler.

 

[Idleyes]

I believed in you Obsidian.

It's mid.

 

[Venom Snake]

I hope there is a quest to find the missing half of the game code.

I’ll be playing Avowed day one my man.

That checks out.

So it might actually be good?
