Are you an AI or a bot? Your posts seem…. Off

At least his makes sense.

High praises from Matty.

Calling anything a cross between Mass Effect and New Vegas sounds interesting.

These are some huge words....and it sounds more like 10/10 (which is a bit doubtful).

Lets see what GAF says when its released.

 

[Toots]

The first sentence is a declaration of war.
German really have the worst taste and should try to civilise themselves instead of being so barbaric.

He should never be treated seriously after his takes on Fallout 4. I'm happy for his success on YouTube, but c'mon.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I'm so there, on day 1!

Domagoj Belancic...the most typical german name.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Cool. I'll start this in a week or so.

What was his take on FO4?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Just so you know, Avowed was 80.

And it was good and deserving of that score

What kind of gotcha is that

 

[Danteyke223]

English is not my first language , so apologies. Anyway i love the game has its issues. If the only reason people dont want to play it cause it's woke , meh their loss.

He speaks german, he thinks german
Please don't use your germanic tribes logic with me, i can't understand im not a saxon barbarian i come from the hellenic world like all people who had the luck to be born around the cradle of civilisation that is the Mediterranean basin.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Sure, bud

 

[MidGenRefresh]

You know what, let me take that back. He was only about 15 years old when Fallout 4 released, so it shouldn't be held against him. That said, I've seen some of his content, and he's definitely not an expert in the RPG genre.

 

[LordCBH]

Bout what I expected. Enjoyed the first one a lot (even with its numerous flaws). Look forward to getting 2.

 

[amigastar]

Definitely gonna give it a try.
I'm just not sold on the flaws system.

 

[adamsapple]

And it was good and deserving of that score

Yep, weird flex citing Avowed's high score like a negative thing, it was a pretty good game all things considered

 

[rkofan87]

And he also got several game breaking bugs, that forced him to lose or skip a few side missions.
Combat seems to be very unbalanced. At points to easy, other times very hard and time consuming.
Seems like this game will need several patches to be playable.
And the ending is a disappointment.

will definitely be getting this on sale I have game pass but I really want to play it on the PlayStation.

 

[balls of snow]

Solid. Cant wait to play after I finish Yotei sometimes next month.

 

[Gonzito]

Just so you know, Avowed was 80.

But I'll try OW2 regardless.

Avowed was a good game. There were some woke elements and the last third was a bit of a letdown due to lack of enemy variety but I had fun playing it for the most part

Okay...just asking because the FO4 reviews back than confused me as well. I thought it was a total downgrade to both FO3 games and everyone and his mother praised it to the moon.

One of the best 40fps implementations, probably the rare few 40fps game on UE5.

Speaking of that, does anyone know it Outer Worlds 2 has a 40fps mode?

 

[Krathoon]

The Outer Worlds games are funny like Fallout is funny. It has that certain charm to it.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

It has VRR, unlocked frame rate mode.

Goes above 40 in quality mode from what I saw.

I wish more Xbox studios titles had 40fps implementations. It seems like they just don't care for some reason.

 

[adamsapple]

Looking at some reviews, it seems like this does indeed have a 40fps mode. It seems to do the Avowed modes. 30fps, 40fps, 60fps.

And there's an FoV slider in the console version too.

Nice.


edit:

Confirmed for Series X and PS5 Pro, for some reason one of the reviews says the base PS5 did *not* have 60fps mode in the review guidelines, not sure if a mistake in the guideline or what.

We'll find out soon.

I wish every console title had a 40fps mode! It's such a nice blend of quality and smoothness on a compatible display.

 

[ValiantInstance]

you can kill any npc, there's even a perk called Serial Killer to collect hearts for hp boost i think

This suddenly has my attention, if only to murder every NPC that says a cringy marvel style quip.

 

[yamaci17]

well the scores are okay. i already like the first game a lot so I'm there day one with game pass on PC
can't wait

 

[GymWolf]

Good luck completing the game with only 5 characters alive in the world

 

[Boy bawang]

Much higher than I thought.

And honestly, after a game like Cyberpunk, the shooting in OW2 seems really bland even for an RPG.

 

[Negotiator101]

English is not my first language , so apologies. Anyway i love the game has its issues. If the only reason people dont want to play it cause it's woke , meh their loss.

It's woke?

 

[adamsapple]

* on second runs obviously. First run is always goody-two-shoes Paragon.

 

[Poppinfresh]

This woke slop could get 10/10 across the board and I wouldn't play it even if I got a free copy.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Reviews were good. Believe it or not, I'm actually playing Avowed right now. Will check this out once I'm finished, but man...Obsidian is actually a good developer still I'll admit that now.

I was down on them before and I'm still a bit disappointed with some of the employee stuff I've seen, but from what I can tell they've still got it. I still enjoy most of their games and that is not true for many.

I'll not say too much to keep on topic but in the future I'd love to see them help with a Fallout game...

...or just help with a remake for New Vegas.

yeah avowed was a great game as well, it really restored some belief in me for the obsidian
i'm glad they're still around and doing the thing they're being best at. I hope they keep at it

Papi I'm glad you're actually playing Avowed to give it a legit shot instead of just shooting blanks like a decent number of users did/are doing.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Of course the woke gaming media will bump this up quite a few points than it actually is.

 

[Madonis]

I am glad that the roleplaying and story angle seems pretty good. I'll pick this up sooner or later, but not right now.

I agree with the complaints about the visual design philosophy, yet that's not a deal breaker for me in the long run.

Just not a real priority to run out and buy it. Similar to my feelings about the first game, all things considered.

 

[Kacho]

Is this woke?

 

[adamsapple]

Is this woke?

 

[pudel]

Is this woke?

Hard to tell.

After his veilguard review dude should be banned from the internet...

I haven't seen it since I had less than zero interest in that game. What did he say?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Hard to tell.

Before I zoomed in I was going to joke "nobody even has a prosthetic limb so it can't be that woke"

But sadly I don't see ANY vitiligo representation in that shot.

 

[Chuck Berry]

English is not my first language , so apologies. Anyway i love the game has its issues. If the only reason people dont want to play it cause it's woke , meh their loss.

Don't ever feel the need to apologize for that, especially to him

 

[Poppinfresh]

If I remember correctly, he basically gave it a glowing review. Highly recommended it.

 

[GymWolf]

It was his game of the year or like second place, do i need to add more?

Dude should should be fined for nuclear level of bad taste and there were rumors that his 100% gimmick is super fake not long ago.

GHG knows more.

 

[Negotiator101]

Sure, bud

Snappy comeback

 

[Topher]

Reviews are much better than expected. I'll give it a go
