Avowed

Looks like Obsidian is trying to make a competitor to Elder Scrolls now. This looks to be the first game the'll make since being acquired by Microsoft, so we'll see how that funding makes it turn out. The Outer Worlds was a failure to me personally. Paper thin RPG mechanics and boring story. Still, I'll give them another chance and hope for the best. New Vegas won them that much good will at least.

Also, I have yet to play them myself, but this is set in the same world as their Pillars of Eternity series.

Meh. Need a lot more than some CGI trailer to get me excited for this.

If I wanted to play skyrim, I'd play skyrim.

I get confused by what gamers want.

On one hand, Bethesda sucks, want Obsidian to make an RPG like Skyrim. Just look at all the cocksucking people have for Fallout NV.
Here you go..oh I rather play Skyrim.

It's almost as if "gamers" have different opinions from one another... It's not one giant monolith. Anyway, people loved NV because of the writing. Unfortunately, the big writers who worked on that game like Avellone have left Obsidian.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this, since Bethesda has lost any trace of faith since Skyrim’s initial release. I’m horrified that ES6 will end up terrible, so I’m appreciative we might have something else to try to scratch that itch.

Then I'd play Hollow Knight 😛

Cool. There should be an elder scrolls competitor. Especially since elder scrolls games will only be coming out like once a decade from now on.

Not including all the Skyrim re-re-re-re-remasters.

Which I think are only being played by Youtubers who specialize exploits and humorous bugs at this point.

New Vegas was and still is awesome. Keep going back to it even after all these years. I'm actually playing another playthru of it currently. I also enjoyed Obsidian's hugely underrated 'Alpha Protocol' a good bit though I've only played thru it once.

As for this upcoming release from them, I'd love to try it out as I love the medieval fantasy setting but if it's only going to be on Xbox then that's not gonna happen, unfortunately. I've already made up my mind long ago that I'm gonna be getting the PS5 instead of the new XBOX console coming out.

It's going to be on PC. I believe all first party titles for Microsoft will be available on PC....I think.

Oh, ok. Well, even in that case, I still probably won't get to try it out as my little chrome laptop probably won't be able to run it since I don't think google chrome users can DL Steam any longer. I wasn't able to last time I checked about a year ago.

It looks promising. Yes I understand people are comparing it to Skyrim, so I feel like any fan of Skyrim should take this as a good thing. Why? Even someone who loves Skyrim will have to admit it's not perfect. This game might make improvements where Skyrim needed them. Those who created the game will be able to learn from the mistakes made in making Skyrim.

There is a difference when a game gets compared to a specific title as a negative opinion. For instance, an action game that looks Assassins Creed. There is a boatload of them...so it seems more legitimate.

But Skyrim? How many open world RPG's that play like it? I don't think there is a ton of them so yeah, it might be another Skyrim type game...but that came out 9 years ago...so having another similar type game is not necessarily a bad thing.

Specially if this is to Skyrim what New Vegas was to 3.

Who knows.

And even if Avowed is very similar to Skyrim....if it's good, it's good.
Look of God Of War 4, it was Dark Soulified but it was fantastically done.

Hell...every Naughty Dog game since Uncharted are similar on how it's done...but some of the greatest games in the past 2 generations.

Exactly. We need more Skyrims. Especially to keep us occupied until the 6th Elder Scrolls game.
