I’m seeing a lot of people being mad at Avowed not being like “a real AAA game” and saying that it should be cheaper etc. I think that so many gamers seem to think something like Avowed shouldn’t qualify is AAA is one of the main reasons why the industry - especially on the AAA level - is in such deep shit.

 

Also literally on game pass. If you don’t think it’s worth full price you know what to do.

 

Something about GamePass being the best deal in gaming or other…

 

Oh, are we back on that?

 

Went on Steam, briefly perused the forum for the game, reaffirmed my distate for mankind.

 

Chris Avellone doesn’t know the definition of the word “stop” or “no”

 

can’t believe I made a new account just to post that. back to avowed bye

 

New Vegas was such a mistake for obsidian. At least in terms for the unrealistic expectations it has placed upon their games. The only reason that game plays the way it does is because they had to use bethesdas framework for the world. Every other obsidian game since is a tight focused no frills RPG experience (besides deadfire… too many frills). They’re a triple A studio making games with a double A scope and it’s what the industry needs more of. In the last decade they’ve launched pillars, tyranny, pillars 2, outer worlds, grounded, Pentiment, and now avowed and later this year outer worlds 2. how are Xbox’s other acquisitions doing? what is their rate of releases looking like? Obsidian is the best purchase they’ve made and will continue to be for a long time.

 

Is anyone else losing it over new THPS or is it just me?

 

Will the new THPS have an updated soundtrack? Something I've been contemplating since the countdown went up.

 

Did we ever truly leave?

 

There was a time, but I think you were away or something.

 

Scar-Lead Salvation for PS5, PS4 coming west on May 29 alongside PC

 

Be careful. Lying might get you sued.

 

for the sake of the victims I really hope they were just lying but when people throw money around to silence victims it’s hard to tell! regardless it’s was a slight jab, not serious just an easy opportunity I couldn’t pass up lol. on topic pillars 1 has the best lore and world building in any game I’ve played and I think avowed very much feels like apart of the same world when it comes to tone and storytelling. I can see why some people unfamiliar think it’s one big lore/exposition dump when you’re chatting up NPC’s but I love it

 

ps plus essentials + classics is the best deal in gaming


(I don’t even believe this anymore since they announced ps4 titles would stop being a focus)

 

Me too

Last time they kept the original soundtrack and I think added a couple of songs. I assume that’s the plan now too.

 

I think 1 and 2 was closer to half new half old songs but it’s been awhile since I played it so I could be wrong

 

Could be but at least the ones people remember from the originals were there

 

Maybe I suck but Avowed is hard man. My gear is never good enough. I just put it on the baby mode now lol

 

yea, there are a few songs I only noticed were missing when I’ve gone back and played the originals, but they did such a good job with the new tracks that nothing about the updated soundtrack feels incomplete.

 

I was having a slightly difficult time on one particular fight last night. Then realized some food gives you stat buffs and I was able to pass a dialogue check and skip the fight lol. But yeah it’s hard to remember to take full advantage of all of your tools, from companions to abilities to food buffs etc. it can get chaotic especially in the second zone when fights involve 5-6 mobs continuously respawning

 

I’m running grimoire/wand as set 1 and sword/shield as set 2, I carry 3-4 different grimoires around for different move sets but usually stick to one or two. just make sure you upgrade your weapons as much as you can. I was also behind the power curve in the first zone and absolutely leap frogged over it in the second zone after spending an hour exploring

 

Yeah the second zone is what did it for me. Those damn mushrooms.

 

I never have enough materials to upgrade often and don’t really know how to get more
