Even the cover art for their new game looks completely soulless terrible lmao
>>3657523They made good mods for Bioware and Bethesda, that's about it.
I thought Avowed might be good until I saw five seconds of gameplay footage. That banner art is literally the nail in the coffin.
>>3657523Who thought the cheap 3d look was a good idea?Did microsoft cut their budget?Even owlcat was able to afford an actual banner.
This place has been really boring lately.
>>3657540Make more threads, Mister Interesting.
>>3657523look at that ears on that elfalso I don't think actual picture of the game is a worse cover than a painting
>>3657523>only thing modern crpg fans like is romance >no romanceWhat are they doing
>>3657777No romance? Great, I will buy the game and support it for that alone
>>3657523yes. i can see Avowed being fun with duel-weilding magic guns but i would have rather gotten POE 3
>>3657783Finally asexuals get some representation
>>3657523first person dual wielding? just take my money already
>>3657523>Avowedmore like I Lol(e)d
is josh sawyer a lolcow yet?
>>3657523>ObsidianThat piece of shit should have died right after the release of NWN2, which is one of the worst games ever produced. Obsidian has never made anything good>but muh new vegasFUCK YOU
>>3657874it's pretty obvious you don't like rpgsnothing wrong with that, but you are on the wrong board
Obsidian's real problem is that they sideline the autistic niggas like Sawyer chasing some kind of Bioware tier commercial success that will never come. Despite the fact that virtually og their biggest successes are Sawyer led.
>>3658018>chasing some kind of Bioware tier commercial successThey already did that with Grounded. 20 million players and someone is making a tv show based on it.
>>3658018The only good game they ever made was a sequel to a massive commercial success that ran on an engine that was already built and used cut content for previous games. Yes, this game was better than the game it was a sequel to, but much of the work was already done.
>>3658031Alpha Protocol wasn't the sequel to anything, though.
>>3658016Disliking Obsidian is a sign of excellent taste in RPGs. They are more than welcome here.
>>3658031True, Deadfire is indeed their best game to date.
>>3658031It's hilarious how this describes almost every single game they've made. Good joke.
>>3657523>hand drawn vs in-game models>actual cover art vs some promotional shot for the release date>actually ignoring the real cover art that has been circling for agestry and be less retarded
>>3657813Yes I like Skyrim as well.
>>3658056The contrast difference between what is in game and what you see in the cover is really telling between PoE and Avowed. Soulless studio walking.
>>3658056QUEENZ AND KANGZ
>>3658062>goalpost shiftingThere are hundreds of thousands of games that go for a more stylised art direction for promotional and cover art, including ones this board loves.Also, when games go for fidelity that typically means more realism. When companies stray from that, this board throws shitfit about the artstyle like with Dragon Age Veilguard looking "cartoony".
>>3658075>Also, when games go for fidelity that typically means more realism. When companies stray from that, this board throws shitfit about the artstyle like with Dragon Age Veilguard looking "cartoony".Good. Give me the art direction from Origins any day.
>>3658026>20 million players>On gamepass Lol
>>3658056They both look like shit.
>>3658078>Give me the art direction from Origins any dayI mean, even Origins was pretty fucking bad in terms of art direction. Though unlike Mass Effect, the whole series never managed to find its own visual identity.
>>3657523why is it so blurry.
When Microsoft bought them it was pretty obvious. No more CRPGs.
>>3657523the people who made obsidian any good left obsidian prolly at least over a decade ago. these companies are just places where people work, theyre not monolithsand game development burns through people like no other industry ive ever seen, so turnover is high
>>3658075>muh goalpostsAnon, I'm just commenting on the reality of the situation, this isn't my thread, this isn't a debate.>this board Ah, you have autism and can't grasp people as individuals.
>>3658056This one is even worse lmao
