The NPCs are 100% created with lousy random generator and metahuman. Dead stare from Starfield is also there, along with non-blinking eyes.
Avowed launched to “Very Positive” reviews on Steam

I mean, this is a plot-related char with a head that was flatted by a brick repeatedly. But NPCs in general it's a very easy target in Avowed.Hard to say. It reminds me of the Frankenstein NPCs in Starfield.

Agreed. People hated that Thief 2014 game and I thought it was amazing. Except I didn't do anything but a pure stealth run. They game had a setting where if you were seen (even by bosses) it was game over and they built the bosses around the mechanic it was brilliant.

You've made your point, it's just a half baked point.
These are 2 positive reviews for KCD2 which I saw in a few seconds on the games page.
I do not recall you being this picky in that game's Steam thread.
Not that picking apart steam reviews for their validity is a worthwhile usage of one's time anyway.
But here you are.

I'm sure it will settle into the 70's eventually. That won't be good enough for special people here.

Yeah completely done with these types of low effort NPC's. Especially in bigger budget games.The NPCs are 100% created with lousy random generator and metahuman. Dead stare from Starfield is also there, along with non-blinking eyes.
I was on the fence before and willing to give it a shot but when I saw all the previews and the completely phoned-in NPC animation I was out.

Nah it's much better than that turd.
The writing\male-female dynamics are still tow quality but at least the combat is much more fun so you can at least appreciate the gameplay.

Dude do we need to get that title changed to just Resident Gaslighter?
Literally even the most casual Google search will find old forum topics about its very positive score.

Its quite funny, really. The game may be mediocre, but still better than Final Fantasy imo.

If you love Skyrim, you will love Avowed.
Unless you are a pro Skyrim player.
Exploration, builds etc all that is in there.

The thing gaf hates the most is Xbox hardware that can potentially compete with PlayStation hardware.
All gaf ever wanted was for Microsoft to stop developing consoles…

They've been PC Coper for a while now. I've learned to insta-ignore Eurogamer, IGN, and PC Gamer reviews and it feels great.

Not even sure what PCGamer is getting at with that comment. The game is running really well for UE5 with nanite + Lumen. One of the best optimized one in fact. Runs good on console, has 40 fps mode with the graphic fidelity if you have VRR. 60 fps mode performance. We've seen WAY worse UE5 game performances.

It's a good game. I think a lot of the hate is in bad faith, though the art director talking shit deservedly put a target on this game. I find the Skyrim comparisons to be the most ridiculous. Maybe the game was initially greenlit as a Skyrim killer, but that was clearly changed once MS acquired Bethesda. This game is much closer to a Bioware game than a Bethesda game, actually. I'm 41 hours into the game and having a great time. The girl bosses early in the game are a bit much, but I'm enjoying the companions. I wanna romance Giatta, though. They should add a romance patch and a theft system (most of the items are already in place). I think those 2 things would really help.
Of course not.

It's always so cringe seeing people on Gaf, speaking about Gaf in the third person as if they're above their own retardation that the rest of us partake in. As they partake in it.

That requires a level of introspection that some people don't seem to have.

That certainly wasn't the case for Civilization 7. Game was getting slammed with mixed reviews even by those spending the extra cash.

Matt Booty: Xbox studio exclusives won't be 90 hour AAA games but as close to AAA as possible.
In a recent interview, Matt Booty (head of Microsoft studios) stated that, games from the recently acquired studios aren't going to be "90 hour AAA games" but games that can be close to AAA games built by small teams.
He was obviously using hyperbole with the "90 hour AAA games" then again, if someone is investing that kind of time into your game, then it's doing something to keep their attention.
However, we are seeing the side-effects to these "AAA-like" games, and the cuts being made bringing them all the way back into the PS2 era of interactivity and gameplay with just a high-res coat of paint.
This is why they are starting to feel like they're lacking "soul" in current year. No passion, not like developers used to have.

Fuck. Is the GAP still around? I think the last place I purchased my clothes from was Anchor Blue. How do new clothes end up in my closet?
I need to have a talk with my wife.

It's not a bad game by any means. The game looks pretty damn good. I'm not worried about the colorful visuals, it's a fantasy game with weird looking characters. I've been enjoying it. I can see why some may not be happy if they were expecting dark fantasy from the first trailer. The gameplay is good especially in first person for this type of game and moves along briskly. I don't know if it would ever stand out as a memorable game but there is something intriguing about it where I want to go back and explore. As far as the story goes no fucks are given so I couldn't tell you how that goes either good or bad.
