An Obsidian game, with marketing??

I hope they open the marketing valves, I want more of it. Its out in 10 days (premium) and 15 days (standard).

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That ad looks cooler than the actual game.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I hope they open the marketing valves, I want more of it. Its out in 2 weeks.

2 Weeks? I'm still working on Indy's Great Circle. I need to hurry up.

 

[LectureMaster]

 

[R3TRO]

Times Square marketing is meh.

 

[Buggy Loop]

2 Weeks? I'm still working on Indy's Great Circle. I need to hurry up.

10 days for those who have the premium edition which is 5 days earlier than release. Feb 13th early, Feb 18th for standard release.

 

[tTHANOSs]

I mean who doesn't advertise in times square?

 

[adamsapple]

My man LectureMaster makes AC Shadows threads any time someone at Ubisoft Montreal takes a shit, you don't get to say this

 

[Mister Wolf]

My next game after I finally finish Pathfinder WOTR.

 

[Rush2112]

Might as well advertise in san francisco.

 

[Arsic]

May re up to gamepass if this is a banger.

 

[LordCBH]

So Microsoft will advertise this but not Indiana Jones. Fucking lol

 

[Clintizzle]

Relax dude. The game will come to Playstation. You can put down your keyboard. The war is not a thing anymore.

a Starfield caliber game is about to release

It will be better and look better than Starfield.

Generation defining game incoming. Hold on to your panties!

I believe Indiana Jones was a Bethesda and Lucasfilm collaboration, Microsoft wasn’t the publisher there.

“I’m a huge fan of Japanese shits”

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Microsoft tend to run barely-there marketing for games but will do some kind of noteworthy ad. "We're on the LV sphere!" "We're in Times Square!"

It'll be interesting to see if this is part of a bigger campaign. But it wouldn't surprise me if this is practically the entire thing!

It'll be fun if Microsoft start advertising games again for the first time in a decade though.

JFC. Doesn't NYC have enough problems at the moment?

Is the pc gamepass version the early play one?

 

[GymWolf]

Lol hopefully not.

 

[RagnarokIV]

My nephew is advertising at Times Square for his gap year. Everything and anything is there now, it's not a big deal.

No.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

You need the premium (or whatever they're calling it) for the early access. You can pay to buy an upgrade, but otherwise Gamepass players have to slum it with the regular release date players. These upgrades normally give DLC and some cosmetics alongside the early access but AFAIK, Avowed doesn't have any DLC so you'd have to really want to play it early to justify buying the upgrade to yourself.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

You will have to get premium edition upgrade for that.

It is expensive and doesn’t include any future expansion so is poor value imo.

Fuck that, normal version it is then, thanks guys.

That's not a challenge to be honest.

 

[Mister Wolf]

That's not a challenge to be honest.

Its an indictment on Starfield with all the money and time that went into making it. They are desperately clinging to that outdated engine.

The easiest task ever.

The Outer Worlds is better than Starfield, and I didn't like The Outer Worlds.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

All that money and they couldn't make animations look better than early PS2-era?

 

[SimTourist]

Wow, Greenberg got off his ass for the first time in 15 years

 

[Mister Wolf]

The Outer Worlds is better than Starfield, and I didn't like The Outer Worlds.

I'm looking forward to it's sequel.

85s are really easy to beat….

The game aged very poorly. They frontloaded all of the best content in the first 10 hours. It does nothing remarkably well and the writing is braindead and full of Reddit cringe.

I absolutely detest this BS practice that got into full swing this gem.

They are both terrible is my final offer.

Yea I no longer have much hope for Bethesda writing after Starfield, although I think the writer left…

Some of the worst quest designs and story direction pushes I’ve seen in all my cRPG experience.

I have a lot more expectations from Avowed. The murmurs about it as peoples have review copies is that it’s a goatsidian one.

The jury is out on 'Modern Obsidian' but I'm open to the idea of it being good.

 

[Hudo]

While i agree with you, being better than Starfield is a very low bar.

 

[keefged4]

A vowed not to buy this woke shite

 

[Fess]

Bethesda is Microsoft

Microsoft owns Bethesda but Bethesda was publishing Indiana Jones themselves, I didn’t even see a Microsoft logo throughout the whole game, it’s a Bethesda and Lucasfilm collaboration.

 

[StereoVsn]

My next game after I finally finish Pathfinder WOTR.

But what about 40K Rogue Trader? Heresy won’t burn itself you know!?

I don’t know about this since Outer Worlds was mid from overall story to most characters to combat to world design.

I liked PoE 2 and loved New Vegas and KOTOR 2 (both after patching and with mods), but it doesn’t seem modern Obsidian is looking toward their better games.

Let’s hope Avowed turns out well, but I have some doubts.

I use peon pass for Xbox games. $6-8 bucks a month at a time.

With that 3s ad they just spent Xbox marketing budget for the next decade.
