Combat only a Kacho could love

 

[Kvally]

Might be better in third person rather than first. Hard to say either way until I can play it myself.

I will be playing in 3rd person. I do wish there was third person in Indy as well, but I get what they were trying to do. I still wish it was an option.

Nah, looks functional but unremarkable. Just like Outer Worlds. Will it even have execution animations like Skyrim from 2011? Western AAAs these days are so bland.

 

[Sebastian1295]

You can switch it to third person whenever you like, too.



Topher mode activated

I know but i'd like an FOV slider for the first person mode tbh. If i end up playing the game i'll try the first person combat first and if i get sick i'll go to third person.

It should have an FoV slider as well.

edit: yeah, it has.

[BigBeauford]

The combat looks punchy and better than anything that Bethesda has put out, but the art style is just too similar to Veilguard for my tastes. The writing has to be on point or this isn't going to fly.

 

[Hudo]

Oof, you think so?

I mean, you can't lower the bar even further. So I would think they would actively need to get out of their way to make it worse.

 

[Pop]

Here something from 20 years ago.

Industry is regressing

 

[Labadal]

 

[FoxMcChief]

Probably still too fast for Topher

Holy shit, I guess it makes sense why Topher is so excited for the turn-based RPG Expedition 33.

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Any recent mention if it has performance mode on Xbox?

At first there was some mention it only 30fps on console, then some said it might have, no word since then?

I have a feeling they will announce in a week or two there's only one mode- 30fps, just like Redfall did.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Looks like you’re putting in quite the shift indeed

Xbox/gamepass living rent free in some heads.

 

[Topher]

Bad shit happens when things go too fast

 

[Buggy Loop]

Just how old are you Topher

In the past 2 or so days I haven't seen 12 hours pass by without someone teasing you about your age

 

[Topher]

Just how old are you Topher

In the past 2 or so days I haven't seen 12 hours pass by without someone mentioning your age

I'm 54, but in GAF years I'm 108

 

[FoxMcChief]

But this game continues to look “ok”. I doubt I will play it day one.

Bad shit happens when things go too fast

That’s why I don’t play fighters anymore.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Looks good. Too bad that a douche artist had to ruin the game with his politics, so I'll have to get a used copy of the game.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I'm 54

Goddamn

Fuck it will happen to me too

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'm 54

 

[Clear]

Cannot get past the garish mobile-game colour palette and visual design. Not interested.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Still got some juice in him for next gen consoles

 

[Topher]

I love GAF

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

LOOKS SO GENERIC

 

[adamsapple]

I'm 54, but in GAF years I'm 108

 

[Sgt.Asher]

That overhead axe swing is some looney toons looking shit. It looks.so weird.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

How's the crafting?
CAN I SPEND HOURS PICKING STUFF OFF THE GROUND?!?!?!?

 

[Romulus]

Looks good enough, actually better than most big RPGs.

 

[Gudji]

Not gonna lie it looks kinda bad. Hopefully it turns out decent.

 

[Havoc2049]

Looks pretty good in first person, but looks like crap in third person. Kinda like the Elder Scrolls series.

 

[M.W.]

A demo would be nice.....

 

[nikos]

Looks like a snoozefest.

 

[ResilientBanana]

It's literally like playing skyrim. But what's weird is sometimes they react to getting hit.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

I know it's "boring" to a lot of you, but I just want to play with a sword and shield or 2hnd sword. I do not want to "have" to use magic or spells. Hopefully the game is balanced well enough to where this isn't an issue. The gameplay looks so much better than what it did in previews a few months ago. They clearly took the feedback to heart and I'm happy about that. I wish 3rd person camera was a little more off center kinda like god of war.

 

[Spyxos]

Visuals and Audio dont match in this video.

 

[cosmicpoems]

Its not always about them graphics or textures, animations/movements are trash and looks like early ps3 era

 

[Mobilemofo]

Everything is fixed with a good..


Montage!!!!!

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Looks good. Too bad that a douche artist had to ruin the game with his politics, so I'll have to get a used copy of the game.

Yea that piece of shit ruined it a little for me as well.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Am I trippin or they have octopus arms in first person view ? They are freakishly long and not normal.

Also.. doesn't look fun at all. Don't feel like trying it even on game pass lol

 

[tTHANOSs]

Another gamepass banger! /s

 

[amigastar]

Yea that piece of shit ruined it a little for me as well.

 

[salva]

Looks good to me, can't wait!

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Well hello there 2016!

 

[AtomicStarving]

Game feels generic mid. I'm sick of these Bisexual lighting bs.

 

[LectureMaster]

Probably still too fast for Topher

My man Topher 's most appreciated game is now Doom Dark Ages as he could slide the game speed all the way down to 1% to fit his ever-sharp gaming reflex.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This footage alone looks better than anything they showed previously. It feels more weighted and impactful. The footage I saw before felt light and empty.

It was never really on my radar, but hey, for something on Game Pass, I'll check it out if it sounds/looks like it's worth checking out.

Bizarre fov for the first person, the way the arms stretch out when swinging looks so weird.

Third person feels like an afterthought.

Is this a full-priced game?

I honestly didn't even know this game had third person, or planned to. So it probably was. Much like Bethesda games, lol.

It is, $70. Or Game Pass.

Just like my early days when I was honing my athletic skills....

 

[Vlodril]

I disagree. Is it better than skyrim? I mean who doesnt do combat better than skyrim?

Still sucks

Talk about damning with faint praise.

 

[Pop]

A demo would be nice.....

I got ya cuh

make a new xbox acc and sign up for gamepass for a $1. then just game share

 

[Elginer]

Looks good. A lil janky but thats all obsidian titles. The writing and universe is whats gonna make this game awesome

 

[DarkStream]

I’m suprised that people judge an Obsidian game by its gameplay.

Obsidian games are never about the action and all about story and interaction. Combat is just there to break it up. If the story part holds up, we are golden.

I dislike woke stuff as well, but so far I have only seen the pronouns. Hopefully that’s it. The game is not a looker, but I’d rather have this than Veilguard, which was “noisier” with all the effects popping off.
