There's no legit reason, other than lunacy and Self-insertion, for making this cast of AWFUL characters. They are the definition of uncool. This game does something very risky: to put a whole studio in jeopardy by making characters nobody will want to play with.

For sure. I was simply referring to the character designs though.Nothing will ever be as bad as concord, game had 200 to 400m usd budget, vast media campaing and sold 25k copies wolrdwide, even terrible games that sell 1k copies as long as they are only AA scope with 100m usd or smaller budget will never lose as much money as concord did

Yea I mean I fucking shit on concord harder than a dog shitting razor blades, that game was the fucking most awful looking piece of modern day trash to where If I could absolutely pack up and ship every last blue purple haired pig nose ringed mother fucker involved in that game into a rocket and sent straight into the sun.
This while not looking great, isn't anywhere near concord imo

Pretty good video from Mortismal. Explains a lot of things like factions and conflicts, if you are interested in playing the game.

I think you're in the wrong thread, this one is populated by the snowflakes who'd rather die than play a game where a woman has short hair (at least that's their public stance, I suspect they're just raging at not being able to romance the big man with the big hammer).
I'm looking forward to it more and more.

You're the snowflake mate, you're in every thread kicking up a fuss.

Well, that video does clear some doubts.
Apparently, companions are not as generic as they look.

Nope, I'm pointing and laughing at the fuss in every thread. I'm not bothered whatsoever by anything about the game, you are.

I never had any doubts. People are morons. The combat is going to be great. It'll be a giant step up from part 1 graphically as well. Obsidian has delivered on everything they've put out this gen, and they put out 4 games already.
People trashing games like this nonstop will be fine gushing over cheap crap like the Atelier series. I don't even think they like RPGs.

They're the RGG Studio of the West.

Definitely at least on par with RGG, or Insomniac. And likely operating with a smaller staff. Personally, I think they're better than both. Pentiment is a masterpiece and they make multiple types of games, not just the same thing over and over.

They're just tougher than you/have sci-fi invisible armour.

Not sure how they are doing it.
Probably jumped on UE5 bandwagon early, and are able to make everything quickly. OW2 seems to be quite a large game as well.

You'll come around in a few years. I saw you really into Oblivion remake. Avowed has 10x better combat than that, including really well done magic, great bow and gun control including dual pistols, and great melee with one or two handed or shield. This is going to likely have most of that, but much more gun emphasis.
Damn dude who hacked your account?
Just kidding you know I love you
Pentiment - delivered
Grounded - delivered
Avowed - delivered
Grounded 2 - delivered

$70 is a tad much, but for $55-60, I think you'd be totally into it. Obsidian is in a unique spot where they are still AA but some of the environmental stuff in Unreal 5 looks great, and they're nailing the combat controls. As long as you can tolerate a tiny bit of mixed quality, ranging from mid to great, you'll have fun. I want to replay it to try out other builds.
Watching that Mortismal video, it's clear this will be a very similar to Avowed. The gun stuff looks the same, including the rifles with the slowdown, pistols, two handed melee, etc. It'll be fun.
Just hope they deliver on the writing, which is really the only thing you can't tell before playing it. I'm sure it'll be at least decent writing, but hopefully they nail a great story.

I thought these characters looked awful and the dialog was cringe as hell. But then someone called me an incel and a CHUD.
Now I realize the characters all look beautiful, fierce, and attractive (in a non-sexual way), and I've come to appreciate their incredibly clever and hilarious quips.
Keep up the great work, I bet we can insult and shame gamers into liking OW2 after all.

My mistake. Take it easy mate, you'll get tendinitis and a seized jaw with all the pointing and laughing you're doing in every thread.

Pentiment was s Sawyer's project. Avowed delivered in your dreams. We'll see about OW2. It would be a success if it shows the same numbers on Steam as E33.

It'll be a success if I like it, simple as that.

I started it and Oblivion remake on Gamepass.
I'll go back and continue one of them.
I'm not a fan of jank so you can imagine which one I'll choose

Avowed is much less janky. Its also slightly smaller in scope, but much easier to get into and experiment with builds etc.

In terms of the studio's well-being it's insignificant. They need to deliver sales numbers.

It'll sell like hotcakes on PS5.

I am having mixed feelings. I wanted to like the original Outer Worlds more than I did. Is this an improvement? Sorta.
There's a couple of interesting bits in that trailer and I don't think these companions are horrible or anything. Just not super exciting. They look way too safe. Say whatever you want about Baldur's Gate 3, but I felt they really did find the right balance with that cast.
Also...people tend to like romance in RPG games, including so-called "woke" folks, so skipping that is intentionally limiting your audience. No, not every game needs it...but then you better come out swinging with a really good story, combat mechanics, party interactions, etc. to compensate.

Some of the zoomer made by boomer pandering haircuts are starting to get as exhausting as the bald space marines during the 360 era.
Cringe trailer, but I still have hope the game will be decent like the 1st, and honestly...very ok with having companion characters that don't have some clumsy romance system complete with puppeteer sex scene.

As someone who played the first game 3 damn times, I have very little interest in this game. I have watched plenty of videos and it really does come across as too similar. I imagine gameplay and graphics are better. But I am worried that the story and characters are going to be ass. Looking at the companions, it literately is just a box checking shit show. The first game at least had the cool robot. None of these look appealing or interesting at all. Maybe they are, but they definitely do not look like it.

This game will sell due to zero competition. However those companions suck. If those rtx remix games start selling then new devs will be in a world of pain especially with zoomers strangely playing older games.

What do you mean. I thought the first game was fairly successful?
For the record: I wholeheartedly disliked the first game, but plenty of other people seemed to enjoy it, so..

Yeah nah, this 100% targets a younger audience, the M age rating makes fuck all sense to me. Why would you have gore and swearing in a game that clearly isn't for adult audiences?
Like, compare this to another M rated game from back in the day, Bioshock, that shit was built from the ground up for mature audiences. Obsidian are industry veterans, they know exactly what they're doing.
Another miserable Xbox failure, Redfall:
M for Mature 17+
Redfall is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood, Drug Reference, Strong Language, and Violence. Also includes Users Interact. This is a first-person shooter in which players battle a vampire takeover in the town of Redfall, MA.
There's a pattern emerging here. They're trying to cover too many bases, and it falls flat every time. Like, remove the woke crap for a second and just look at how dumb this structure is.

Watched this.
Looks like game has a lot of details packed in if you look around.
Looking forward to this and NG4 most this year.

Beyond the terrible visual design of the characters, even in motion they didn't look good - just slow and clunky. And the quirky dialogue/quips is just as uninteresting as it was in games like Veilguard. I noticed they made a point of saying you can't sleep with the characters. Did they seriously think anyone would want to?

Boomers are between 61 and 79, what on earth are you on about?
If some of you leave your basements and encounter the real world you'll see that there are lots of different haircuts and skin colours out there.
You may desperately wish (or even actually believe) that the real world is like a matrix of Sydney Sweeney clones but you're wrong.
