How in the world Obsidian still exists? Every single game is doing worse than previous one
>>724698624They exist purely on the hope that they will return to new vegas quality. But instead they keep hiring blue haired dykes to write marvel tier slop instead.Slowly even the most blinded of dipshits are learning not to buy it, and the people they're writing for don't even play games so they don't buy it.

>>724698624Let's be honest. Tyranny was a really good game.
>>724698624because all the trannies who work there would commit mass suicide if they were fired
>>724698819>interesting premise>some good characters>terrible combat>unfinished>too many illusion of choice moments with no real consequence
>>724698624Wasn't Pentiment good?
>>724698624another genius microsoft acquisition
>>724698624what compels low IQ retards to spend their free time obsessing over steam chart numbers?
>>724698959answer your own question
>>724698624Well, New Vegas is a masterpiece, Outer Worlds is better than Starfield, Avowed was actually fun if you're not a little bitch whining about clutter not having physics - they're good enough as a whole. Haven't played PoE & not a fan of isometrics, but I'll try Outer Worlds 2 today or tomorrow.
>>724699017>Outer Worlds is better than StarfieldLol no
>>724698624>new vegasvery good>pillars of eternityvery good>deadfiregood>outer worldsnot good>avowedgood>tyrannygood>outer worlds 2 not playedObsidian has a better track record than most devs these days
>>724698624Jason Schreier keeps shilling and running PR for Obsidian. He actually said Avowed is a better game than E33 and now he’s acting like their spokesman, claiming the layoff rumors after Outer Worlds 2’s flop are fake. At this point, I’m starting to think Obsidian’s CEO must have Satya Nadella’s sex tape or something. Microsoft is cutting costs across the board, so if they don’t dismantle Obsidian after Outer Worlds 2 bombed this hard, people have every reason to be suspicious.
>>724699017Starfield is much better than outer worldsGod Howard can’t be stopped

>>724698624DEI money. The money is drying out though, so they'll be shut down by the end of next year.
>>7246998482 more weeks
>>724698624I desperately want a sequel to Tyranny.
>>724699848if the rumors are correct, they will be shut down by the end of this year
>>724699224give it time. even concord took a month or so before shutting down the whole studio
>>724699941that was a fake rumour
>>724699017>Outer Worlds is better than Starfield,lmao. starfield as shit as it is, absolutely mogs outer worlds.
>>724699983see >>724699224. jason copes hard and lies even harder.
>>724700032yeah ok, 2 more weeks
Another day, another neonazi meltdown.
>>724699017>whining about clutter not having physicsThe funny thing that the game HAS random object physics. Any destructable explodes into randomly flying fragments. There are random objects in the world that have physics, it's just not spammed on every tiny object on every table which usually leads to massive memory leaks anyway.It's not stuff I care nearly as much about as the characters reacting and remembering your choices and actions, which Avowed has a lot of but rarely makes a big deal with DUDE WILL REMEMBER THIS popup.
>>724698624one of the few good devs left
>>724700247Lol
>>724700247>all their nu games about gay communist fish that talk about sex and their previous husbands and every white male is evilLol
>>724698624I think it's about time people admitted New Vegas was only ever good because it was made with Bethesda's assets. Obsidian don't know how to make a fun game by themselves
>>724700227Avowed was comfy
>>724699092>>724700006>>724699330Outer Worlds 2 is miles better than Starfield. It has actual quests rather than, "go to this POI then go to the same POI on a different planet" and "go to this building, collect the magic sparkly things then do that another 9 times to finish the main quest".
>>724700468> It has actual questsAny quests that are not just “kill x guy/fetch guest”?
>>724700468thats a fucking lie most of the quest im playing in outer worlds 2 rn are fetch and go kill quest. the enemies are brainless too worst then new vegas
>>724698761Imagine your peak being that low.That is like being the tallest midget.
>>724699224Obsidian does what microsoft wants, releases gamepass slop.
>>724700510Yes, there's a big variety of quests.
>>724698959> Why do people use observable metrics to support their arguments?They aren't women or pretending to be one.
>>724701273May I see them then
>>724698624They burnt every single bridge imaginable until they were begging for funding from regular people and eventually got sold for a hamburger to Microsoft. Existing is a strong word.
>teased fallout new vegas 2>turned out be to be gay space adventure>teased skyrim 2>turned out be to be super gay fantasy adventure>teased gay space adventure 2>no one plays it
>>724698624They're just lucky. No publishers wanted to work with them because they cannot stick to a signed contract and try to make different games that require more time than they proposed but they were literally saved from closing down by kickstarter and their Pillers of E kickstart campaign. Then people still weren't buying their half-baked shit and they were bought out. They just keep stumbling into some situation where the doomsday clock for them gets pushed back but MS is probably going to merc them within the decade if they don't get their shit together.
>>724700426Their two most notable games ( NV and KotOR 2) had competent studios do 90% of the heavy lifting.They have always been little more than a glorified modding team.
>>724699103Pillars of eternity 2 had nice vocal songs on sailing. I played as Pally/fighter with 2 handed sword, Ekera.
>>724698624I can confidently and happily say that I've never played an Obsidian game and don't intend to.
>>724701486Deadfire was comfy and a two step forward one step back sequel. It improved on everything except plot and atmosphere.
>>724698624Grounded is their moneymaker and their RPGs are passion projects.
>>724698624>How in the world Obsidian still existsGood morning sir.
Most of them will be laid off next year with just a small team surviving to continue the development of Grounded 2.
>>724701706No way Grounded is paying for 300 Californians year after year
>>724700247
>>724698624>flopped even worse than AvowedFucking how?
Okay, redpill me about Redditawowed. Is it actually good?
>>724702119It's more mass effect than skyrim. People think it's a skyrim clone because it's fantasy but it has good gameplay and exploration. Bonus if you enjoy pillars of eternity as it builds upon the lore of that world
>>724702221I liked ME1.
>>724702221It has a notable amount of 3D platforming which I greatly enjoyed. Betehsda fans are really trying to refind their childhood experience even if games only share surface similarities like optional first person mode and some rpg elements that are very different.
>>724701941All roads lead to rope
