Preview Avowed Final Previews

[Black]

Why is there so much shit happening on the screen. I feel like having a seizure from watching this gameplay. What is this crap:

YOUR CUM METER IS DANGEROUSLY LOW, VISIT THE NEAREST FEMALE STATION TO REFILL IT

Isn't that bear already suffered enough?
Poor thing got herpes or chlamydia or both.

 

[lvl 2 Blue Slime]

Not playing a game with pronouns, simple as.

I don't see the problem with this particular screen. You have your consumables, life bar, magic bar, your companion's life bar, the active quest, the mini-compass, the name of the boss with his health bar and stamina meter(?), and your current sustained abilities with a timer, the current amount of damage you're doing. The only superfluous thing is the the "Attacking" label.

 

[Fedora Master]

Do you find it sexually arousing to get this many bad ratings? I can see no other reason why you would do what you do otherwise.

Mortismal released 3 videos about it recently including dev interview if anyone`s interested. He`s a big fan of poe1 and poe2 so there`s even a lore deep dive.

I was pretty sceptical about the game but after seeing his gameplay I must confess I`m somewhat hyped, the game looks solid and it will be in game pass so I will check it for sure if stalker 2 allows.

Didn't this guy say that Veilguard is GOTY?

Same. I'll laugh when they lose money though, what a great year it's been with no end in sight to the Get Woke Go Broke.
Treat pronouns as a kiss of death. It's great watching SJWs finally falling on their own swords. It's like the reign of Oliver Cromwell coming to an end, which kind of proves that the (((Eternal Anglo))) has always been woke, just manifests in different forms over the centuries.
Live by the cancel....

 

[Thalstarion]

Another fantasy game with modern day big city demographics and a dire lack of conventionally attractive men and women. Strangely androgynous features across the board, too.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

The only superfluous thing is the the "Attacking" label.

I think that's to indicate who your follower is aiming at which is probably more useful when there's multiple enemies.

 

[Pink Eye]

I don't see the problem with this particular screen.

You're joking, right. I know you're a fanboy for this particular studio, but come on man. Again, let's look back to the very same game this studio is trying to hype up for their marketing:

In the above screenshot there is exactly 3 UI element groups and they're mostly contained to the side or the bottom of the screen so as not to suffocate the actual gameplay. The UI isn't in front of your face, it's to the side, away, is the point. In Avowed there's so many UI elements that are in your face, obscuring the game, that it is beyond annoying. At a certain point this kind of design is terrible because it adds neither immersion or functionality to the game - it's just irritating to see. Who markets their games like this anyways. When Fatshark did their marketing for Vermintide it was mainly a showcase of the gameplay with most of the UI crap hidden or gone, see:



In nearly all the promotional material for Vermintide 2 Fatshark mainly focused on showcasing the game at its best - because having a game with a UI as lit as a Christmas tree is a major turn off. All I'm getting from Avowed is that the *real* audience they're trying to market towards is journies, streamers, influencers, who can't figure two steps without forgetting their objective in the process and needing a constant remainder else they'll be confused.

It looks like Obsidian is concerned about overscan which is weird because I thought that was a thing of the past. There may also be a concern that having the sustained abilities too far down will make them difficult to see during combat.

 

[Frozen]

Why 2024 games look like shit? Same as Failguard you have same Toy Story plastic looking characters.

How a game like TW3 that is almost TEN fucking years old has better visuals lel

 

[blessed king of longing]

looks like ass just like the lgbt rpg that recently released

Codexer discovers what cRPG gameplay would look like in first-person.

Avowed looks a bit too marvel-esque for me

Using Marvel-esque to describe anything you don't like sounds very DC-esque.

 

[TedNugent]

It's nice to see the latest Bioware action RPG!

I'm excited

 

[lvl 2 Blue Slime]

FPS and RPG is always going to be an abomination combination that shouldn't exist.

[countrydoctor]

So no ciphers, chanters, or monks (only 3 classes, and they are the most generic shit from PoE), no soulbound weapons (since it has a tiered colored loot) and thus most likely a very OW-esque turbo generic itemization, why did they even bother using this setting if they won't use the things it actually got right?

 

[Dark Souls II]

only 3 classes, and they are the most generic shit from PoE

It's even worse than that, warrior and ranger only have 5 active abilities each, because you're not supposed to play a pure melee build, you're supposed to at least multiclass with a wizard. You WILL pick pronouns. You WILL play a wizard. You WILL be a "godlike". You will be allowed to have fun specifically and only in the way that the old faggots and fat women at Obsidian want you to have fun in.
