I'm all for this. There's simply too many games. If indy and stalker land in q4 then that's more than enough until q1 2025

I'm happy for Obsidian honestly. This is probably the first delay they've ever been allowed to experience since their founding.

Ah, see, I don't pretend to care about the circumstances surrounding a company I have nothing to do with. My laughter also has nothing to do with them directly.

If Avowed is delayed, good luck win Indy in 2024. December is a suicide month for AAA game and I don't see any feasible window for it this year.

I was making a joke, but it's actually probably true. They've been a rushed AA developer pretty much since forever. Didn't get to finish KOTOR II. Didn't get to polish New Vegas. I don't think they ever have enough time.

Sweetie, you gotta be more obvious with the jokes. I'm the Alex Jones of this forum. "I'm gonna be honest..... I'm kinda retarded".

I was thinking more along the lines of 1st party AAA exclusive full game releases but if you're just looking at content then yea, that's a decent list..

Oh hello there, glad to see the ignore function is working well for you as always. I've eaten plenty today, thanks for your concern. An Xbox delay keeps the hunger away.

Not at all. I don't get any notifications from you or see anything you write. If I ever get bored and curious I can click it off and see messages from the multiple people I've put on ignore only if I feel like it. Then refresh the page and it's back up. Super user friendly honestly.Very much defeats the purpose.

No joke needed, delays are always great for the developers, it’s the publishers that don’t like it. Just means less crunch and they can finalize their dream project like they wanted.
And since I first saw Avowed I’ve always wondered why the conversations have bad lip sync when Starfield also made under Microsoft’s umbrella has nearly perfect lip sync. Different studios but don’t they share any tech? Obsidian should go knock on Bethesda’s door and simply ask how they do it, then do the same. If it’s mo cap, then do mo cap. If it’s software, then use the same software.
Hopefully they use their extra time wisely.

Since when delays are great for devs? I was under the impression that unplanned delays(real delay, not like gow ragnarok false date) means more crunch, not less.

Cool, there’s plenty else to play in the meantime. Why does GAF care though? Last I heard, this isn’t a real RPG because I can’t make my character fuck another character.

Most Obsidian fans are still very much interested and (cautiously) optimistic.

I'm one of the few people who really liked The Outer Worlds, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this. But it would be nice if for once Xbox delivered something when they said they would. I was getting fed up with the whole it'll be better next year, just wait. Since my X1X days. Either stop over promising or manage your studios to the point where by you actually know when its going to be ready - in short show more professionalism. It also feels like they've been showing us the same games coming for years.

My opinion on what ive seen and heard of this game are known at this point, but putting all that aside, I honestly knew this was coming the moment they announced that it won't be playable in Gamescom.
Generally you'd do that if the game was in any kind of "good shape".
Also citing STALKER 2 as an exclusive release in November that warrants this delay is sort of funny considering that:
A) It's not an exclusive, it's console timed for 6 months.
B) It's probably the most delayed game in their slate so far, which while understandable given the war, but the fact remains that the release of the game is not assured.
I have no idea why they are so defensive about this tbh.

Agreed. We’ve seen significantly more of Avowed than we’ve seen of Indiana Jones and what we have seen of Indiana Jones has mostly been curated cutscenes and some very rough snippets of gameplay. I can’t see any way Avowed gets delayed but Indy does not. Avowed is clearly much further along.

Yeah, it seems too action based and I didn’t dig the animations or the environment either.
I have 0 expectations frankly as it’s going to be Fantasy Outer Worlds and I didn’t like that game.

Concord and Avowed seem to have the same artists.

If true, another example of GP not living up to the best value in gaming tag tossed around. For those who say 'its no big deal its still coming' or 'I've got too much to play anyway', every delay, every month that goes by without promised games means that months membership value is diluted.
