Why is it that these games with this relatively interesting, comfy retrofuturistic 50s scifi aesthetic put me to sleep? Seriously, what is it about these FPS RPGs made by fucking OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT that makes them so fucking BORING that I cannot attempt a run without quickly needing a fucking NAP 15-30 minutes in?
I played 40 hours of the first game and I cannot remember the names of the companions or any major character. Not even that scientist dude.
>>724800498>>724800428because they are owned by major corporation. Major coporations like microsoft will castrate their employees if they dare to do anything remotely controversial. So the employees are forced to make as inoffensive game and to be as inclusive as possible.]And the thing is, a game for everyone is game for no one hence why nobody remembers anything about that game, its so inoffensive its boring.
>>724800428Outer Worlds and Avowed is just gay+boring. The games are full of generic faggot NPCs that look like they were made and written by real life faggots. The gunplay and map design are fucking stuck in 2010. Far Cry 3 has better gameplay than these games. Obsidian is a shell of its former self
>>724800428You might not be ready to hear this but it's because it's a boring game and your brain craves fun games instead. They make shit games.
>>724800498Funny I also have 0 memories playing this shit, I know my friend finished it but couldn't remember a single name by the name... its that bland.
>>724800428For me the setting doesn't feel cohesive or thought out so I can't buy into the roleplaying and I'm kindve left feeling like it's just a really shitty looter shooter with dialogue menus
>>724800428Because they're a bad dev who make bad games and they ran out of excuses for their endless failures ten disasters ago.
>>724800428It all boils down to the writing: It's simply is not interesting.
>>724800428>fucking OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENTBecause most of the staff that made the games you liked left ten years ago
>>724800498>>724801193I only recall Holcomb due to her ridiculous background. >I don't want sex>but I do want to date women You don't want to date you retard, you just want a friend. Who ever wrote this plot doesn't understand how much sexual tension is baked into romance and dating, take that out and it's just brothers in arms shit, which is good but you won't be getting nervous asking a person out for a meal or to spend time talking about your favorite hobbies. God the writing is just so fucking awful.
>>724800428Gay, smug, boring, "they insist upon themselves", seeping ugliness.Sums it up.
>Game actively insults/punishes you for purchasing the full productThe people who made it actively hate (You), that's why.
>>724800428Obsidian desperately needs a new art director. It is very obviously the biggest thing holding them back.
>>724802190Some neoliberal art school graduate thought this was the FUNNIEST fucking shit to add.
>>724800428>put me to sleepI thought it was just me. I absolutely cannot play a turn-based JRPG without getting sleepy 30 mins in. The games are so tropey you already know every single line a character potentially will deliver the instant you see them. I've been wanting to play a Monster Hunter Stories game, but I just can't, I will not be able to finish a playthrough.
>>724802190I don't even own the gameBut if the only starting malus is a net 5% apparent buff, what even is the problem
>>724804886Nigger, read the image. They're actively making fun of you for buying the full $100 game.
>>724800428This game is very well made and genuinely has nice aesthetic, but it's too female. Everyone talks too much, everyone is too self-indulgent, too flowery. It feels like a book for women by women. It's well crafted, but man is it gay.
>>724804998Is iy the only thing you get for buying the 100$ version?
>>724805456Pretty much, yeah. Aside from armor and a gun and a melee weapon that make you look like the faggy moon man mascot
>>724805951Ok so it encourages you not to spend extra, all while not being bundled with anything of value so you don't feel trapped, why is that a bad thingOther companies get away with much worse
>>724806174Bait post.

>>724806390I can understand if it's bundled with shit of valueBut if you're going to raise hell about a game you don't have any interest in playing being cynical, when there are other games that do worse and try to market their shit as genuine value all I can say is you haven't dropped enough money on the industry to know what real garbage practices are
>>724806626No genuine replies for baitniggers
>>724806792>He didn't agree with me therefore he is baitYou either have yet to be of spanking age or havent had your ass spanked enough, but you have to be at least 18 to post here
>>724800924Obsidian was making dull shit even when they were independent.
