Reading is hard for someone that grew up with smartphones.

It's so fucking annoying seeing people skip tutorial text and complain about something that was addressed in said tutorial. This one streamer I watch regularly is playing this game is too short sighted and ADD brain to even realize you can wear two rings at the same time. Even when the menu shows another empty ring slot. Zero fucking observation skills. I watched him run right past a unique axe while he's sprinting through the game like he is playing Call Of Duty. It wasn't even hidden. The best part is he turned off the item shimmer in the options as he said it's immersion breaking, so now he is missing a gang of shit. He didn't even realize the bounty board had more than one bounty page you can pick up.

Why Geoff Keighley? Whats his interest in Avowed? As far as i know he didn't do it for other games, right? Or did he?

Seems to be pretty random. Am sure you can go through all his tweets in a painstaking manner

Maybe time to jump ship to someone else?

I see.
Just 15 minutes left to finally play it. I hope it will have DLSS4 support, today.

if it doesnt just activate it in the nvidia app

 

[amigastar]

I just got an update notification on Game Pass. Maybe thats the DLSS4 update, we'll see.

 

[Topher]

 

[amigastar]

Same here,
also no DLSS4 (officially) it seems.

 

[cormack12]

Brilliant. Preloaded and already a 3gb update

Nope. DLSS 3

 

[adamsapple]

Downloading now.

Trusty 300Mbps connection giving its all.

 

[Topher]

All the preset faces look weird

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

Just logged in and wow are god like facial and hair features intentionally awful so no one will pick them? I wanted to use some but it looks….corny to walk around with a Charcuterie Board of fruit on your face

 

[adamsapple]

What is the base default pre-set that someone in that staff discord picture said would blow people's minds in terms of 'wokeness'?

still downloading on my end.

I don't see anything "woke" at all so far. Base male and female look normal. The others look strange, but not woke

Should already be a part of the package for someone downloading the game now, I hope and suppose.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Sorry guys i'm really behind on my PC specs and whats good/bad but any idea if it's worthwhile me buying this on my gaming lappy? I want to play it but not going to buy an Xbox for one game.....again

CPU Brand: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
RAM: 32175 Mb
Windows 11 (64 bit)

Not sure if you need to know anything else but any insight would be great.

Better count male and female NPCs in the first town just to be sure.

Cmon, you have to show your character build

The mustache and eyebrows on MyMattyPlays’s character looked like someone smeared shit on his face.

 

[Topher]

Really boring really. Just finished character creation, but have to step out for a bit. I'll show it later.

Oh, it was you or DonkeyPunchJr with the funny Starfield avatar? I thought it was you.

enjoy!

what do you mean I look funny? Funny how?

 

[bender]

Here's Topher 's character:

 

[Chuck Berry]

Checked it out for a bit on the S and it runs like garbage (I'm used to Pro silkiness lately gimme a break), so I'm going to just wait until whenever it comes to the 5. I do dig what they have going though. It really pretty much is dark fantasy Outer Worlds with added mobility and that totally works for me.

Enjoy bros!

 

[amigastar]

Here's Topher 's character:

Whats with her left eye, was she beat up by her girlfriend?

 

[Gonzito]

The game looks fantastic, I really like the graphics and it runs well although I have a 4090.

Character movement is good as well, combat feels agile and it has impact. Animations reminds me a bit to Dishonored

So far I like it, lets see how it continues

 

[Buggy Loop]

Here's Topher 's character:

Naw, not old enough

 

[SilentSpecter]

Only 10,806 players right now.

 

[adamsapple]

Basic starter. Left some of the less intrusive godlike features on to make the character's unique status visually intact.

 

[geary]

Better count male and female NPCs in the first town just to be sure.

Why just male and female? Let's count the infinite spectrum...

Let's calculate the Gaussian function and see if we have a standard normal distribution or if is skewed.

 

[bender]

Naw, not old enough

The slider only goes so far.

Some very good changes.

 

[Luipadre]

First impression is that the game looks too "gamey" after KCD2

Also DLSS4 looks worse here than KCD2. The image quality in KCD2 is pristine with DLSS4. Maybe its just UE5

 

[Mister Wolf]

His Kingdom Come 2 playthrough is good. Just this game he is playing like an idiot. For instance he won't level up his gear but complains while facing higher tier enemies. Thats as fucking stupid as not leveling up your weapons or armor in the Souls game and then complaining about the damage you are dishing and receiving. Avowed has personal level and gear level separate exactly like the Souls games.

This is DLSS3

 

[Luipadre]

This is DLSS3

I changed it in the nvidia app

 

[Topher]

So the app overrides ingame upscaling settings?

 

[bender]

Booting up!

-This narrator is kind of mid.
-I didn't realize this was in the TLOU universe.
-How come there isn't a robot race?
-Uninstalling!

yes, did the same with KCD2. DLSS4 looks gorgeous there

 

[Dorfdad]

Im 100% sure it's a marketing agreement - help promote the game or some friendly gesture for later on back door favors.

 

[Topher]

Cool. I’ll give it a go. Really looked fine so far to me, to be honest. KCD2 is really clean though.

Just be prepared to play your first 10 hours as a beggar! I still haven't made it out of the trenches. Forced to kill chicken and steal!

BTW when I steal from one town and try and sell it in another town how the HELL do they know stuff stolen???

 

[shoplifter]

Is it just me or are the menus incredibly unresponsive? Still not sure what I think of the game in general, but I'm already fed up with the menus after an hour.
