Microsoft greenlighted Avowed 2. I can't.
It's greenwrote btw
>>741350535That's actually surprisingly good numbers, games like South of Midnight and Senua couldn't scrap 1000 players on steam
Avowed 1 was unironically good. The story was forgettable and the companions were dogshit that i never cared about but the gameplay was good.
Good. Another 100 million down the drain and lots of joy for chuddies.
>>741350535one of their best releases btw
its not a bad game if you ignore the gays, the trans, the DEI and the left wing thematic quest text
>>741350726And also the lackluster world. NPCs don't react if you steal items
>>741350535I tried it on gamepass, the combat was nice but the setting just doesn't capture me. Microsoft should have handed them the Elder Scroll IP for a spinoff
>>741350535It will come before TES6, anon
>>741350664It's a 7 if you've only played WoW for 20 years. Otherwise it's a 4.
>>741350535You can't greenlight games?
>>741350726>it's not that bad if you ignore everything badbased
>>741350664You forget the atrocious theme park level design
>>741350535>greenlighted
I mean, it has more of a potential for a sequel than other stuff that got it, like Outer Worlds. >>741350664it was not horrible but even the good parts weren't really all that goodlike exploration was piss poor outside of scripted areas you were actually supposed to explore, and they didn't even account for movement abilities breaking quest order(like getting to that cave in the first area from the opposite end by jumping on some rocks made things awkward)
>>741350535You'd be surprised how often second installment of slop like this is already in the works before the first one is even releasedIt was probably greenlit even before 1 released
>>741350535its greenlit
>>741351260>>741352406>>741350582Living and learning, thank you friends
>>741350535Good. We need a total crash of woke gaming industry. Don't want those DEI hire people to stay in their position and do safe, barely passable slop because their superior told them to not go full retard. Can't wait for the inevitable flop.
>>741353087It's greenlote btw
>>741350535what else are they supposed to do? obsidian is a aa studio and their games lack mass market appeal. josh and feargus themselves have said numerous times they don't want to make a "cut scenes and cinematics" game.
>>741350664>RPG>Companions and story were bad>But it was unironically goodJesus Christ this might be the most retarded poster on /v/ today...
>>741353427They could try writing good stories with interesting characters for their RPGs, they certainly haven't done that in a long-ass time now.
>>741350535propaganda > profit
>>741353609Congratulations, you're retarded.
>>741350535This is why playstation domination will continue
>>741353674Rat king.
>>741353476never labelled it an RPG though. You're seeing stuff again, schizo-faggot-kun.
>>741353720Right right, so when you go outside and see a duck you go "I dunno what this is, there is no label"? That must be a hard life for you anon, being so impossibly retarded.
>>741353539because they lack strong leadership with concrete vision and consistent tone. you have a dozen writers and narrative designers of all types and they all, every single one of them, want to MAKE IT THEIR OWN TELLING THEIR OWN STORY WITH THEIR OWN TWIST AND OC DONUT STEEL CHARACTERS. they don't want to make one game, they want to make THEIR game.
>>741350582greenlote*
>>741350664>The cake was unironically good. The frosting was godawful and the garnishings were unedible but the cake base was good.
I didn't like it but you're a retard if you don't understand that the first game was just gamepass slop. Caring about Steam numbers on gamepass games is beyond retarded
>>741353773nah, it's definitely a duck; just like how Avowed is definitely a game with decent gameplay but forgettable story and dogshit companions.
>>741353674PlayStation lives only due to the 30% cut they take from Roblox and Fortnite and the price increases of PSN+ and the console.
>>741354151Right, and as a result it's a dogshit game that isn't worth the time because the gameplay isn't special, exceptional or particularly interesting so it doesn't do anything you won't find in any number of other games.
>>741353476The gameplay of the game was fun. It's just understandably repulsive in every other way.
>>741350726>ay jimmy give me an avowed with nothing
The magic was fun to use but i dropped the game the minute i got to the 2nd area
>>741350664Kai is one of my alltime favourite party members.But TOW2 had more good companions. My team ended up being the old hag sniper and the hammer swinging enforcer.
>>741353912>you have a dozen writers and narrative designers of all types and they all, every single one of them, want to MAKE IT THEIR OWN TELLING THEIR OWN STORY WITH THEIR OWN TWIST AND OC DONUT STEEL CHARACTERSThis. You can just tell the Obsidian "writers" absolutely despise having to account for a player-defined character and that's why they make all the player protagonists worthless non-entities while pushing their "diverse asexual gray-lesbian" and "indigenous demi-himbo BIPOC" polycule OC characters instead. Adult daycare.
If they manage the budget better could be profitable, and Avowed was a fun game.I'm in.
>>741350535I think Obisdian survives solely on their ability to churn out gamepass filler at a reasonable pace, which puts them above almost every other MS studio, even if their games don't make any real money.
