For nearly the past 20 years, if I was asked who my favorite dev is, Obsidian would be brought up. I’m already down bad this month man, I don’t know if I can take another hit. Waterproofing in my finished basement failed, car died, I can’t give Obsidian’s eulogy this month too. It’s one thing to know a loved one is dead, it’s another thing to start taking apart and playing with the corpse. Someday I’ll check it out for sure.
Details add a lot to the game though. Just touching the wall slightly and getting a realistic scratch on my car door in gta 5 still tingles my bones. They aren't the make all, do all but they are a massive selling point. Not to mention how much it adds to immersion. Lack of reaction can break immersion which, imo, is fatal for rpg.
Appreciate it man. It’s more the hassle than the money factor for us. Upside is I got a 2025 Civic Touring and a Killing Floor 3 beta invite.
I don’t think it’s about being lazy, there are almost no games at all that does what Skyrim does. Physics on every object and npcs almost having a life is super rare.
What’s Spider-Man 2 currently at?Meanwhile
Ok. I was just curious.

You just made an old dog stand on business. Put some respect on his name for that.
Hmm, I do somewhat agree with your point but also I guess I didn't properly convey mine. I am not talking about details like deccan( from days gone) pupils reacting to sunlight and realistically getting smaller or bigger, no. That is stupid details that is not really noticeable. I am talking about details that are, for example going into water and only the clothes that touch the water becoming wet. Does it break the game? No, but it does break immersion for me. Also it depends on the type of game, for me personally, for example, I don't care that the car damage is superficial in gt7 because it isn't that type of game yet I hate that planet coaster doesn't allow you to kill your customers( I fluenced by rollar coaster tycoon games of old wherein you can turn guests into red mist). As someone who eventually plans to play avowed, NPCs just standing around and not moving especially in massive cities would be highly noticeable and immersion breaking for me and I get why people are bothered by it.
It's the fault of the people who overhyped it. Lol, you judge what you play but at the same time people are also allowed to judge by what they play. Just because you liked a game doesn't mean people aren't allowed to dislike it. Yeah, sales and metacritic don't give the complete picture but they do reveal the general sentiment because otherwise all we have is he says/she says. Games are subjective and no one is going to like every game. And lack of basic things in avowed when it comes immersion is and can be a massive talking point and negative for people.
i do wonder how u fcking old ppl simp for corporations ? MS doesnt care u nor Jizz CordenOr it won't
STALKER fans waited F-I-F-T-E-E-N years for a sequel. To say it was anticipated is an understatement. In a month where... I'm trying to remember what released around that time... Lego Horizon?
This is a new franchise. In a packed month.
Old Obsidian CCUs, with only Pentiment and Grounded that would really have a gamepass effect?
Pentiment 1.25k
Grounded 32k
Outer worlds 20.3k
Pillars of Eternity 2 deadfire 22.7k
Tyranny 15.8k
Pillars of Eternity 41.9k
South park stick of truth 34.8k
Fallout New vegas 51k
Alpha protocol 2.4k
KOTOR 2 6.6k
craziness

Three fantastic games side by side.
But "parkour, bro"! Didn't you know, this game shits on The Witcher because you can jump around on ledges! You know the game is a shitty RPG when that's the main attraction. The funny part is if you ran a poll of RPG players for the last 30 years and asked them what they want in an RPG, none of them would list parkour in their top 20. Not one. Now it's a selling point?
What happened?! Did senior devs leave after MS´s acquisition? Did the DEI team make Avowed while the real team is making The Outer Worlds 2
There might be even some birthdays being celebrated with their cool new game.

The words are haunting.
i know we like to blame publishers when games don't turn out how we would like, but i feel Obsidian deserve most if not all the blame. Bloomberg just published an article and it turns out Avowed was in dev for 6 years and had two rebooted.
As long as my man is happy, I will always be there to support this relationship!
I'm enjoying the game, but I understand the feelings here. BioWare, Insomniac and Remedy are all crap now for me. I've never played Obsidian games for the things people seem to want in Avowed, though.
My man is a forum treasure. By treasure I mainly mean old. Protect Topher at all cost!Topher can not be bound to any stereotype gamer. He truly is incorruptible. He’s the hero Gaf deserves, but doesn’t want.
That doesn't go along with Obsidian saying they had a long polishing phase, though. That means they chose to polish the game over improving the game.
My point is that they chose to deliver the game as is. That's just weak design in the end.
So he is the hero you want?
If topher was loot in a game:
tiles on walls and floor, flex cement joints and a proper pump on standby with 400V
Nah, Obsidian has said in the recent past that they want to make smaller games. I'm assuming the majority of their resources are being directed towards TOW2, as it was a big success back in 2020. Avowed was developed by Obsidian's "B" team.
