Ok. I give up on this game. I can't for the life of me get excited about it. dull characters and the story doesn't seem that much to be honest.

I missed the audio in the first few minutes (was on mute), but just started hearing the audio when the ghetto sounding guy in the yellow coat started talking.

- Graphics are pretty good

- Sword and magic looked fine...... but then there was dual pistols? Kind of dumb. Or were those dual wield wands?

- The NPC character in the yellow coat talking sound odd. He's in a magical world and looks alien, but sounds like any dude from down the street selling you smokes and a pepsi in a variety store

  1. Show dont tell.
  2. lighting looks nice.
  3. all the taking is PR fluff.
  4. combat looks rough.
  5. certainty not a AAA game.
  6. Art direction way ahead of Bethesda's.
Not really a strong showing. 7/10

Ugh, was expecting some live reaction from Phil, not this recorded crap about stuff I don't care about.

I'm out.

I'll try it...but I just wanna see more. I remember feeling outer worlds looked generic as hell...but I ended up really liking that game, short as it was.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I like the Xeno Clash/Morrowind-style environment in Avowed. They should have used that direction more with the NPC character designs.

Ninja Theory is a wasted slot btw, they just need to release their game.

NT: a lot of people didn’t care for the camera in GOW2018 but it turned out to be a great game. What do we do?
Also NT: shove the camera even farther up the main characters ass than GOW

I expected more from Avowed, maybe they just showed very tiny chunks and not a whole scenery or what the story is about/overarching goals, so I am kinda "eh... need to see more". Still trust the guys because Obsidian at least know what an RPG is.

Hellblade 2 will be exactly what 1 was... and while I liked it, it had a very bland forgettable gameplay. i dont remember anything about actually palying it.
this seems identical and even more pretentious... idk if I will play it just for graphics.

I am confident saying, plague tale requiem is probably better
