For me I’m not in to WRPGs so I wouldn’t get this game regardless what score it got.

Besides right now all think about is Monster Hunter Wilds.

You meme-posting dim wit. End of.

I started off with the IGN review which was so shallow and didn't really dig into anything the game had to offer. It just felt half-baked, but maybe that's all IGN video watchers can manage before they lose interest.

I then watched this one which offered far more and actually got me excited for the game. The systems, mechanics and combat were described, none of which were covered by IGN. The common complaint was that there was a bear plague in the world Sounds like there needs to be a cull in a day-1 patch, but aside from that it all sounds pretty good.

I wasn't expecting top-tier, but 80 is what I was hoping for so it has met my expectations. Looking forward to playing this on GP once it's released.

From the shadows they arrive. Always exactly when required, but never at any other point time.

So it's Outer Worlds all over again. If you know you know. If you care you care. Exactly what I expected.

 

[manfestival]

Will definitely be checking this out whenever I get around to it. Maybe in a couple months. My plate is so full right now and trying to clear some of this backlog with limited gaming time

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

What the hell is with WRPG devs and bears?

Oh for fucks sake, there it is. Hard pass from me.

“The fragile CHUDs are gonna call it woke because it has strong women in it”

No dumbass, it’s because your way of making “Strong Female” characters is by making the men into a bunch of pathetic stupid assholes so the women look better in comparison.

The overabundance of female NPCs was a dead giveaway. Literally every gameplay clip has the MC talking to female NPCs. It's so blatant lol

Edit: and like always, you have to rely on no name YouTubers to get some honest feedback on this stuff. Everyone else glosses over it because *removed by mods*

 

[Calverz]

Xbox fanboys have the absolute worst persecution complex, it’s crazy really

they’re also at least partially responsible for Xbox ending up in the position it’s in because they NEVER held Phil’s feet to the fire over anything as he tanked their favorite brand, their cult gets what it deserves

I cant see anything taking that crown from KCD2

Great reviews apart from the usual biased suspects (gamespit). Two 9/10 games in a row from MS now while Sony just rubs your face in how rich you've made their shareholders. Enjoy the future you made for yourselves while I'm playing great games.

welp, i really hoped this game to be at least decent, basically no reviewer warns us about wokeism/feminism in those titles so glad at least here we got proper info.
As bigtime antifeminism and antiwokeism i cant stand games who present women as men aka strong independend bossbabes so no go for me =/

GTA6 is the obvious one

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Gonna watch Karaks review. Its pretty much the only person I trust now.

Who's Karak?

 

[Sooner]

Down to 79 on PC metacritic. About what I expected.

 

[WaterOnix]

Sadly I think any interest I had in this peaked with its literal first CG trailer. Everything they showed after turned me off. Thankfully I can already tell I'll dig KCD2 when I get around to buying it to scratch the RPG itch

Those fucking bears man. Christ. Aint no joke.

 

[adamsapple]

The only thing that will dethrone it is the Xbox ports of FF16 and VII Remake. No exceptions.

Yep screw this game. So tired of these games that make all the guys horrible and all the females the only important ones.

Yup, it had that stink about it right from the beginning. I foolishly hoped that maybe they’d tone it down a bit now that people are sick to fucking death of 0 charisma girlbosses in everything. But the signs were there from the beginning.

Oh well, yet another formerly great developer officially ruined by wokeness. Hopefully it bombs.

overabundance of female NPCs

Good. The more women the better.

I tried to give KCD1 a shot, I honest to god did. It just didn't click for me, so the sequel is very low priority for me at the moment.

We all know ff16 on xbox gonna sell like 5k copies bro xD

 

[ManaByte]

Scores are irrelevant in the current media climate. Indy looks and plays great. This one doesn't. Technically it's very poor and it shows. This is a slop very much like Starfield or anything made by EA or Ubisoft.

You sure about that?

 

[Karak]

Request for future reviews, please warns us game hates men/is woke/DEI infested like this one.

I would never know. People cant even agree on whats woke or whats antiwoke. It all puts me to sleep.

 

[GHG]

You sure about that?

Interesting that you managed to watch a 27 minute video in roughly 5 minutes.

Please tell us more.

 

[Roman Empire]

Oof, Paul Tassi gave it a 90 for Forbes .

Seems most outlets have a consensus with this game being around a 7 or 8 out of 10.

 

[mckmas8808]

More 70s mediocre Gamepass filler from Microsoft

If this is what we can expect from third party Microsoft going forward then keep your games

Come on man. That's a little harsh.

At what age are you too old for a Hoodie?

NEVER!!!!

 

[Senua]

You sure about that?

Where is the KCD2 PC video the cowards!

 

[Mozzarella]

There is no middle ground for WRPGs, they are either great or bad.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Almost like they give a heads up in the actual Tweet "an impressive, polished showing overall from Obsidian on all systems."

Plus a lot of people just skip to the summary anyhow

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

^ a nice 2 minute recap of Avowed’s plot.

 

[MMaRsu]

 

[PeteBull]

I would never know. People cant even agree on whats woke or whats antiwoke. It all puts me to sleep.

Here examples of the game hating men, obvious ones, so woke/feminist takes all over, pretty cleaer.

U know ur adience arent some dumbasses unable to criticaly think so if u are afraid to be cancelled/to say stuff that isnt polittically correct just say something between the lines that we can pick up on.
Avoved is clearly made for women/with feminist takes, so normal sane males(more than 50% of those in the western world and huge majority outside of western world) will defo apreciate it if we at least get subtle hints about stuff like that.

If you say his name five four three two one times, he appears!

 

[Mozzarella]

It's fair, he was not paid to shill. He really just had a dumb opinion.

How could someone that is regarded being versed in crpg and have BG3 as his all time favorite thinks Veilguard is goty 2024?

Must be a temporal dementia.

His favorite is Pathfinder a bloated game with terrible balance, awful encounter design and generic writing, but when he made the crpg ranking video he ranked it #2 because he was trying to be LE Objective, nevermind that he ranked WOTR #2

 

[GymWolf]

GTA6 is the obvious one

Not an rpg.

That statement means everything and nothing at the same time without knowing the details.

Also coming from the same people who chose to omit space marine 2 from their best looking games of last year showcase.

Meanwhile other outlets have detailed why they deem the game to be technically poor.

Avowed PC performance analysis: Sometimes good, sometimes bad, frequently odd

Temper your expectations, avoid upscaling, and just go by feel rather than frame rates.
