The preload was another one of those 10mb placeholder things.
PC or console?
The PC one is often the placeholder till the release date.

Can confirm it is that way on PC at least.

PC, sorry, I forget people on this forum might also have consoles.

Something like that can still be in the game.

So I just checked and if you go via the console game pass app, you get the 300MB file there too.
But you can seemingly get the full 75GB download if you start it from the phone app, weird but eh. I'm not downloading it this far ahead of release anyway. It's probably gonna get a patch or two before the 18th like most releases now seem to.

So...I ordered the steelbook deluxe version from Amazon. Should arrive on Thursday. There is no disc, so will there be a download code in the steelbook or will Amazon email the code?

Maybe it'll come with a Game Pass code instead.

Don't worry, I had the same with Indiana Jones. Same MO, dug through old posts etc where I'd said the game might be 'Woke' esk to try and belittle in a weird way that not liking the game was somehow wrong
But, you're going to see more of this weird shit as the rats who push agendas try and scurry and save their skins. You'll see wokey weird stuff crop up here and there, game will come out but it'll 'just' be enough to pass sniff tests
It's not going anywhere, they're just getting better at it
Any game coming out won't be a day 1 from me personally unless it's proven to be good from now on.

Lmao Venus Theory did the soundtrack?
Obsidian really managed to get the most cringe and controversial people to work on this game
But it'll probably be good, the main theme is AWESOME, i wait to play for listen the other tracks

What else have they done?

Its a tad spread out
Xcloud, Battle.net, Xbox gamepass, PC gamepass, Steam, GeforceNow
I would say 30k is pretty good considering all the above and during this month of releases. I just hope if it has good scores that the game has long legs. CCU for me is Gaas daily retention metrics.

Didn't know him before but I love the OST so far. Very ambiant. Pretty much in-line with my play style too on guitar and synth. Paired with the visuals I think it'll be amazing.

Early access launch times revealed, looks like simultaneous global launch so no 'Newzealand trick' to play earlier than expected.
edit: beaten by the buggy one!
edit 2: PC Game Pass version is also up, 72GB.

Tomorrow should be entertaining.
Avowed is either mediocre and gets trashed, or is great and gets trashed.

Then we'll have the local accountants trying to extrapolate CCU when a game is spread through Xbox gamepass, Xcloud, GeforceNow, Steam, Battle.net

Mortismal's 100% run.
He went back to PoE 2 deadfire probably to capture some footage for the review tomorrow morning.

I honestly don't know how
Do reviewers get a list of achievements and how to get them? There's a ton of achievements I miss on a blind play through. Even just 100% achievement is long for most games, but if you are just navigating blindly it would take way too much time.

I’ve no idea how he does it. I think he also just completed KCD2.
I’d burn out.

Sorry if already posted, but here is a lore primer for Avowed. I was already confused going in, now I am full retard. Guess I will just dive in tomorrow and hope they catch us up.

Former Arkane Dev that worked on Dark Messiah & Dishonored. Now a lead designer at WolfEye and he review games as a hobby.
He says "Tomorrow, huge video on Avowed that I have been testing for several days now. A video full of emotions, special and important.
Avowed seems to have the kick move and ragdoll physics on enemies, I wonder if he thinks its a bit of a spiritual successor. He seems to love it.
If you search his history, he didn't like Outer world (called it an unpolished obsidian) much and he really did not recommend Dragon Age Veilguard, he talked a lot about woke in the game and he didn't like and how trash the writing was.
So if he's excited for this game...

Could this be .. dare I invoke the dreaded phrase .. Obsidian's 'return to form' ?!
Not that I think OW was a bad game or anything.

I shiver at that saying. I’ve played Obsidian’s legacy stuff. Alpha Protocol was garbage imo. I’ve never been that impressed by their work, but anything is better than modern day BioWare. I’ve got high hopes for Avowed.Could this be .. dare I invoke the dreaded phrase .. Obsidian's 'return to form' ?!

I wonder when Steam preload will be up.

Just realized the lore primer video I posted is literally in the OP, my bad 
Apparently some French Xbox site published their review earlier today. Taken down now, but it praised the combat and the impact of the choices you can make in the game, comparing them to New Vegas.
Main complaint was game world didn’t feel alive or that it had any interaction.

Got it preloaded on PC GP. Says 5 days until unlock. I like the artstyle, hopefully the dialogue and combat are good.
