It’s on Game Pass and I have Game Pass…so yeah I’ll play it!

 

[ChoosableOne]

It's silly for a game to push "pronouns" bs(actually, it's also pretty ridiculous that English has separate words for each gender), but I wouldn't want to dismiss it just for that. However, recent examples have been a warning to steer clear of such games. The fact that it's coming to Game Pass is a good opportunity to try it out. If it's good, I'll play it, and even dye my character's hair purple.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Ok, different tastes then. I do need to give KC a good play but I am not seeing any of that from that footage.

You really don't see the mediocrity of Avowed animations and the terrible framerate in the recent preview videos?

Can't even hold 30fps.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I don't know how anyone can bring themselves to give a fuck.

Game's made by a team that tolerates racism and hate towards white people. Why the fuck would I give them a cent of my money should be the real question here.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

No! They insulted my favorite billionaire! Even if I wanted to play it, I might not be done hyperventilating and shitting myself by release date.

 

[LaughingStock]

I wasn't interested before. Now I hope it's a complete flop.

 

[Holammer]

Maybe if it's really good, but I had no intention to play it from the start.
The game was meant to be "we have elderscrolls at home" for MS started before they bagged Bethesda.

 

[acm2000]

of course, game pass ftw

 

[Aenima]

No, but i wasent interested in game before. I just feel the Art Director drama stained the game image a bit more, even if the game is good, it makes me feel less inclined to support derranged devs like him.
Monster Hunter Wilds and Kingdom Come II will get my money.

 

[T4keD0wN]

I liked Pillars 2 and The Outer Worlds so it was on my radar, but after the previews i am very excited for it since it seems like a real RPG unlike some other recent release, so as long as it doesnt have stutter i am in.

Someone really needs to touch grass if weird twitter posts matter and qualify as a drama for them.

Consumers should buy products based on if they think the products themselves are worth it for them, not based on what 2 culture warrior consumers and a single person who worked on it think, otherwise you could never play even a single game.

If you have ever played a AAA game, you have played a game made by people with views you strongly disagree with, whether or not you realize it. Because hundreds of people work on these things, and people have diverse opinions and beliefs.

You really gotta get over this idea that you can enforce some kind of homogeny of thought in gaming or anywhere else. It's untenable and frankly insane.

 

[GymWolf]

Yes, probably with some gamepass shanenigans.

Combat, exploration and build making seems fun enough, i'm just gonna avoid to interact with their version of traash if there is one.

Exactly. If it was just the pronoun stuff, I could overlook that while holding my nose. It’s that guy’s tweets and especially Josh Sawyer retweeting him that put this game in the trash for me.

I'm not asking for them to think like me, I'm just asking for them to not hate me because I'm male, hetero and white.

Don't think that's too much to ask for nor "frankly insane".

 

[ElFenomeno]

Definitely not day one.

 

[Reckheim]

Correct.

love the lighting in the game, hope the HDR is actually proper on PC.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Nope.

Not even about the pronouns. Looks too cute, bright and bloomy. I stick to Fallout and ES or darker CRPGs, not Outer Worlds, Avowed or Veilguard kind of RPGs.

 

[cormack12]

Really needs an option to say 'will wait for reviews' - the difference between the reveal and the latest trailer was quite large

 

[j0hnnix]

I would of shrugged off the pronouns, but supporting some self centered prick who is fine A. Shaming one group of people B. And being a cuck for another group of people. Is a No from me. Hopefully Xbox cleans house.

 

[Diddy X]

I wanna play it but still hope nobody else does so they stop with the pronouns trash in games

 

[Putonahappyface]

Not a chance.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

“drama”

Anyway, yep, day one

 

[SF Kosmo]

I'm not asking for them to think like me, I'm just asking for them to not hate me because I'm male, hetero and white.

The team is literally mostly hetero white men, dude, as is the owner of the studio (as am I, for that matter). This characterization is, frankly, very very stupid.

But if you're going to characterize any interest in inclusivity as "hate" then absolutely every single AAA game you have every played in your life is made by a good amount of people who would meet your same (bullshit) standard of "hate."

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I'd rather figure out a way to download brain cancer directly into my skull than play this piece of shit.

 

[Ristifer]

I'll probably play it. Feels like there's drama about every game now. Some games just look like ass, but this one doesn't look too bad.

 

[Rambone]

If the reviews are good I will check it out but as things stand I no longer have any interest in the game.

 

[Krathoon]

I still got it pre-ordered.

This is not a big deal. The artist and Elon are both being jerky. It happens.

 

[TintoConCasera]

The team is literally mostly hetero white men, dude, as is the owner of the studio.

The same team also tolerates having a racist as an art director.

Again, I don't tolerate that shit and won't give them my money. Imo they should clean house, get rid of all the crazy heads and focus on making games fun instead of using them as political weapons.

 

[Toots]

Not gonna lie the day i see it selling for less than 30$ i'll get it, play it, and might even have a good time (i really like action rpgs)

 

[stickkidsam]

Didn’t really tickle my fancy as it is. Doesn’t sound like I’ll be missing much if this drama is any indication lol

 

[Krathoon]

I really doubt that game is going to be like The Crying Game or anything.

 

[K' Dash]

Modern Obsidian is like modern Bioware and modern Bethesda, they lost their magic a long time ago and replaced the talent with less than stellar people, so no, not going to waste my time.

it is what it is.

 

[Horseganador]

NO, and even less so with the latest "statements" that have come out of the game.

 

[MagnesD3]

To be fair it didnt look that amazing before this junk

 

[ByWatterson]

Was marginal before, now definitely not.

I'm the exact kind of customer they can't afford to lose.

 

[TheChumpNation]

Early impressions weren't great but the recent preview impressions from sources I tend to share tastes with (mattyplays, fextralife, skill up) have me excited. If there's a deluge of social programming in the game I'll probably avoid, but as of right now I'm still buying it (although maybe not at launch due to KCD 2).

 

[SF Kosmo]

The same team also tolerates having a racist as an art director.

This is the guy we're talking about hating white men, right? Just to be clear?

Anyway, super weird, right? You would think they would contact HR if he was such an awful racist. And you would think he would have trouble working so closely with so many straight white men if he hated them so much.

I mean it could be that you are being psychotically hypersensitive, but you would never...

Again, I don't tolerate that shit

Yep. You do. Every single day. You just don't normally think about it unless Grummz or some other fucking idiot tells you to.

Every AAA game has been worked on by a racist, by a homophobe, by a rape apologist, or someone bad. Because it takes a lot of people to make a game and it's impossible to find a group of 200 people without there being some of that.

 

[thefool]

Absolutely not.
Never ever financially support this kind of bullshit.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

No but not because of the drama but rather because I currently have no interest in the game. If it reviews well or the word of mouth is good, I may play it.

 

[thief183]

I'll be busy trying to play KCD2 ... even with all the bugs it will have.

 

[Gonzito]

I'll be busy trying to play KCD2 ... even with all the bugs it will have.

Man I hope the game releases as bug free as possible but yeah, probably it won't happen

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yep. You do. Every single day. You just don't normally think about it unless Grummz or some other fucking idiot tells you to.

The fuck are you saying.

At this point it's clear that you aren't talking to me but to some weird idea or strawman you have in your head. Don't quote me again please.

 

[Braag]

Deep deep sale maybe.
Th pronouns aren't even a real issue for me. But a dev talking smack at potential customers rubs me the wrong way so badly that I lose interest in the product.

Also it comes out too close to KCD2 for me to care about any other game.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Has nothing to do with the drama but I just don't see the appeal. It's a no from me dawg. Never played any of those first person RPGs in general.

The cover art is actually fucking cool though.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Yes I’m gonna give it a go. It’s on Gamepass.
I have zero hype though.

 

[ReBurn]

Honestly I probably wasn't going to play it before the drama

 

[SF Kosmo]

Absolutely not.
Never ever financially support this kind of bullshit.

You have, do, and will.

 

[XXL]

Only if I can play it in my Model Y.

 

[Drake]

Fuck no. It's going to be absolutely glorious when Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 blows this out of the water.

 

[Filben]

If it's a good RPG, I'm in. First impressions from SkillUp looking miles ahead of the trash called Dragon Age The Veilguard. I liked Pillars of Eternity and The Outer Worlds, so I'm probably gonna like Avowed. But of course with every game, release is gonna tell the truth.
