Looks decent but I don't like the spongey feel of the enemies. Also the Outer Worlds Obsidian has soured Obsidian for me. Unoptimistic.

Love comments like this with no context to the footage. How do you know they arent in levelled area where enemies are tough etc?

One of the characters is talking like a 2000's character. It's good to see.

Found this interesting
Avowed dev with credits on RPGs dating back 25 years says this is the most confident he's ever been in a game at this point
"I'm just overjoyed at how well everything's come together"www.gamesradar.com
The guy was a tester back in 1997 for Fallout and then went to Black Isle studios and then Obsidian since 2003. It doesn't say much you will say as what, which dev would throw their games under the bus, but considering that Obsidian had some really janky launches and even broken sometimes like KOTOR 2, that could be a legit sentiment for him. The preview from this thread is kind of ballsy even since they let the previewers capture their own footage and no edit requirements except for the character creator. The dude with 90 mins of footage didn't encounter any bugs.
Sounds like they're reasonably confident in how well the things are coming along. Hope the final product delivers, and the extra couple of months have allowed them to polish out most launch-week issues.

The dialogues do pop out to me as something we do not see often.
That part in the village with the dude screaming "LITTLE SHITS"
Also Giatta, one of our companion is cute. Doesn't have the Outer world haircut
Wait till the REEE crowd gets whiff that she was "whitened" from the original concept art (From Mr. Matt Hensen's ?)

Look at the footage . Does he look levelled up to you ?
If that’s how long it takes to take a guard. How long will it take to kill a boss ? Pretty much break ur finger

There's something... off about the voice acting here. Sounds too modern American I guess.

A magic wand is technically a stick tho.
Maybe they are on the hardest difficulty or it's like a mid-biss\special enemy...

I've noticed this as well. Seems to take a lot to kill enemies in this game.

See the skulls next to the enemy name, it means the player is severely is under leveled.

You don't know what you'll miss on!
I mean, the almost near death by being hit one time by the enemy should have been a clue to so called hardcore gamers on neogaf but here we are

This village seems completely devoid of life. Like a half dozen npcs total? It looks nice enough I guess but where is everyone?

Sounds interesting, let's hope there's enough addendum content to make journey's feel unique. I don't think I was anywhere near '100%'-ing BG3 either, not even close. There's probably hour(s) of content of supplemental content in the game I've never seen.

I still have hope the game will be good regardless of the dramas this game had.

That was very thorough. I should try to get into PoE 2 again, the video talking about the previous game events also being mentioned is something I didn't expect.

I swear this is a Unreal Engine 5 problem. Sure the engine can look insanely good, but I have not seen one game properly showcase areas handling many different assets at once. Really concerning how many games are in development using UE5

If you want a "physical" copy of Avowed, the premium edition is your only option – but note that it doesn't come with a disc. It comes with a digital code for the game, plus some physical and digital extras.

ehh .. one was a pure shooter, this is a proper Obsidian WRPG.
The only similarity I see is in *some* visual aesthetics at best.

It wasn't a pure shooter (whatever that means). It had leveling and XP, side activities, a large weapon skill system, and very Metroidian and exploration based world and level design.
It was anything BUT a pure shooter. It was practically the antithesis of one.
But yeah its the aesthetics and character designs and color palette that are ringing the Aveum bells

Physical copies with no discs aren't a new thing, unfortunately. Got scammed with the Arkane collection myself, as only half of the games were on disc and the other half as 1-time use codes.
Stalker 2 is very likely my last physical Xbox purchase. No point in adding more since it's almost guaranteed there won't be any drive options in future consoles (if they are released).

Wtf.. So - no matter what edition, there is no disc for this game? Means wait for deep digital discount for me.If you want a "physical" copy of Avowed, the premium edition is your only option – but note that it doesn't come with a disc.

But it's "premium"... They should a) look up the definition of the word and b) choose a better word. Digital "goodies" and digital code.. maybe "rip off edition". What a scam.

How does this game have so little traction? It looks like one of the best games of the last decade is about to drop in 2 weeks and people are sleeping on it. I'm trying to stop myself from buying a Series X just to play it. I have a Series S but...you know.

He also liked Veilguard. To be fair he liked the combat that seems to be OK but ignored all of the trash the the game had because of it.

first person mode looks pretty ugly for this game but the rest of it seems to be just okay. Will probably play. Their space game I cant think of the name I thought was also okay and not amazing. Kinda expecting the same thing here. I do find that their crpgs are better than their bigger titles.

No and no.
This game won't be among the top games of the year, let alone the decade. It looks a medium-tier game, in all aspects except for animations, which look extremely dated.
Same. 7/10 game. Not bad, not good. Decent.

This allegation (not true) has nothing to do with the lack of attention for Avowed.

I see way more excitement for outside of neogaf. When I come here and read about, its mostly negative stuff too.
