Quick unrelated question since I know you play it 3rd person. I finally got around to trying on the XBSX and in my experience 3rd person was a bit janky when it comes to things like picking up loot. Is 3rd perspm better on PC? Are you still using a controller or KB/M? I might need to switch to PC for this one.

I'm using controller on PC. If you mean janky in that you have to be staring right at the item in order to pick it up then it is the same on PC. I've kinda gotten use to doing that. Other games will prompt you to pick stuff up just by being near it, but this one makes sure you are sure. lol

No stuttering for me, 1080ti, high settings.

Mine is a 4070 Super, 7600x3d, 32 GB RAM. 4K DLSS balanced, high settings, FG off, RT on. Getting between 60-90 fps depending on the area. I'm in a cave in the game right now and it is 90. In the world, closer to 60.

Not even a little stuttering for me though.

Framerate doesn't bother me much, so I'd rather have 30 and higher fidelity. But I do wonder if I dropped it to 1080p if I would get 60 fps? May try later when I get home. Definitely time to upgrade the GPU.

I'm using a 4080 Laptop for fun to try it out outside of my XTX and I have around 70-90fps but there's tons of stutter the in the city

Don't worry guys. It's ok.

I gotta have 60fps minimum. So I'll adjust settings to that every time. Just like the smoother gameplay.

That sounds like a CPU issue

Someone ought to post the Oblivion comparison again, hasn't been posted on this page yet.

What's your CPU? The game is apparently CPU heavy and that's what causes stutters per DF and other coverage.

I'm going to make my own comparison later tonight, though I doubt I'll be lucky enough to have it spammed on every page.

Another good one

Sigh ok, this one's finally starting to break me love for Avowed now.

Thanks Topher

 

[TheChumpNation]

Outer worlds apparently sold 5m lifetime, and had steam CCU of 20k.

Starfield had 330k steam CCU, and had 10m "engagements" (ugh) in its first 3 weeks.

Veilguard CCU was 90k and its probably sold 1 to 1.5m.

I'll take some shots in the dark and guess that avowed will hit 600k-1m "engagements" in its launch window and eventually sell 1-2m tops.

Doesn't square with the outer worlds numbers, but I think obsidian are running on the hype of previous work and that resource is diminishing over time.

I was looking forward to avowed but the reviews and impressions I'm seeing online make it look like more of a "gamepass for a month" or heavy sale game.

Yeah, really shows the game in a different light. Pretty well written video, imo.

Man, I ain't got time to read all these pages. I don't know how you guys do while playing and enjoying Avowed so much.

The more I play, the more I think it's worth the money, personally.

I'm at work, what better to do than browse NeoGAF since I can't play Avowed right now!

I wasn't convinced this was as bad as concord but after that

It's certainly a damning editorial.. I'm also reconsidering now.

 

[mitch1971]

I suppose if you are making a game that's going to a sub service, why would you go any further than bare minimum.

 

[Ywap]

I haven't noticed any stuttering myself. What CPU/GPU are you using?

I'm using the following:12700k - 32 ram - 3080 10gb.

This is with ray tracing off, v-synced at 60hz, 1080p and DLSS set to quality. Gonna update the drivers so i get a completely new shader compilation and see the results.

There's nothing about this game that is "bare minimum".

 

[RoboFu]

So it's climbing slowly on steam and about 30 million on gamepass. That's not bad.

Seems like that should run without issue. Do you have the option to try a higher resolution? Might take some pressure off the CPU.

Where is "30 million on gamepass" coming from? Oh....you are counting the entirety of game pass subscribers? lol....yeah, that's how that works.

 

[Denton]

Outer worlds apparently sold 5m lifetime, and had steam CCU of 20k.

Outer Worlds came to Steam year after Epic and Gamepass, so its 20K is actually even more damning for Avowed, which is on Steam at launch and didn't even manage that.

Is 3rd perspm better on PC? Are you still using a controller or KB/M? I might need to switch to PC for this one.

This is just a thing that happens when you have two views with two different set of animations, the engine would essentially have to "reproject" the center of the screen every time you switch which could cause whole kinds of different issues. It has nothing to do with what platform you're on

 

[BigLee74]

He’s being (deliberately i think) every bit as silly as the folk that are mocking the raw Steam CCU counts compared to those achieved over the years by non Gamepass games.

Or am I giving him too much credit?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

20k today?

 

[Mortisfacio]

All trash talking and fanboy talk aside, this game isn't great, but it's not bad. It's a Game Pass title for sure. Pick it up on a discount if you like this type of game. Combat (for a 1st person) and exploration are pretty good. Everything else is bad or forgettable.

This is not atypical for the kind of shit he posts. Face value CCU ain't great. We don't know what Xbox sales are. Don't know what GP engagement is. Fine if folks make some assumptions about that stuff, but there are logical assumptions and then there is bullshit hyperbole.

 

[mitch1971]

In relation to the video comparison. Why fancy it up when it's being slapped on a sub.

 

[Thief1987]

No, won't break it

We know that Xbox sales are non existent for basically any title that comes out on the console. Just look at the charts from the last three years.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

20k today?

It’s going to max out at exactly 19,999 mark my words

I'd say that falls into the category of "logical assumptions" that I was talking about.

NVM looks like it has already peaked at 19,198, or 27.5 Concords. Not so good.

 

[Jaybe]

It couldn’t even break 20k, pretty embarrassing

 

[Denton]

Maybe Obsidian should make the game free for 24 hours, as long as they have trading cards 300K CCU is assured.

Not voting in the poll was the only correct answer.

 

[BigLee74]

NVM looks like it has already peaked at 19,198, or 27.5 Concords. Not so good.

Or, to be exact, 19,197 players more.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

NVM looks like it has already peaked at 19,198, or 27.5 Concords. Not so good.

Apparently my low expectations of 25K were not low enough. First weekend barely boosted the launch peak concurrent by 10%...

 

[GHG]

The poll options didn't go low enough.

 

[Wildebeest]

I'm sure that if they didn't use Unreal Engine 5 and have nice trees and rocks and things, the game would have done much worse and maybe only peaked at 15k. Another huge win for UE5, bringing the hype every time.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

We need more headlines from journos reassuring us that this was a resounding success.
