Eternity Avowed Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Lacrymas]

Review roundup:

Most of these aren't serious and just random high numbers.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I was kinda worried this gaem might be an unexpected turd, but that 90/100 from IGN Benelux sets my mind at ease, thanks.

 

[Raghar]

Its face is weirdly scrunched together and doesn't seem to fit its head properly so looking at it is a little unsettling. I hate Orlans though so I'll admit that my bias might be showing.

The thing is, nearly every face in this game has something wrong with it. Either something about eyes or hair, or face structre or all together. Uncanny valley galore...

They hate whites. And they have hard time to imagine different species.

Look for example there, this is a simple AI image I made, and while some ratios are wrong for these ears and theirs positions on head, it radiates cuteness.

 

[AwesomeButton]

wow this game is horrible

I wouldn't say it looks worse than I expected because I've been saying it will be horrible since I saw those two clowns' first interviews.

But now that I've seen actual uncontrolled footage of it, I must say it looks bad in ways I didn't think possible.

How can anyone make such an ugly game with Unreal 5, this looks worse than Gamebryo!

 

[luj1]

How can anyone make such an ugly game

This is... strangely ugly.

Not a graphics whore but something is off with the lighting... outdoors look bleached...

70 euros, what are they smoking?

It's ridiculous lol

I don't like Orlans but if they absolutely must be in the game I'd rather they stayed looking like weird uncanny weasel creatures than toddlers with cat ears, especially with the weird sex talk from Yatzli in the promos.

 

[Konjad]

So, how does it compare to Outer Worlds? Is it better?

Diarrhea vs vomit. Which is better? Discuss!!1!1!

For some it doesn't matter, as long as it has Obsidian logo, Infinitron will slurp it with every orifice of his body.

Thanks,
Sherry

[Russia is over. The end.]

You know Obsidian made the most mediocre game ever known to mankind when even Infinitron doesn't do his shilling on the front page.

Thanks,

I'm at work, wait for it.

I thought shilling shitty western soycuck RPGs was your work. Man, you do it for free??!

Do you mean like this? It's not the same species, but the first image was image of underage girl that is growing.

 

[Old Hans]

Heard a line that apparently NPCs don't move at all. They just stand in place, making it feel like a dead world. I don't mind this in general, but as a third-person game, an open-worldish kind of game, it feels pretty lame.

This is one thing I just cannot stand in games anymore. It was fine in Morrowind but that was 20 fucking years ago, and here we are doing the same old shit

That will cost you just a little more to get a Game Pass key than paying for a VPN and safely pirating it. Plus, you never know what kind of shit they could repackage in those.

Nobody has ever gotten a cease and desist over vidya piracy and neither has anyone gotten a VIRUS or a BTC miner from reliable torrents.

 

[Roguey]

wow, how odd, the biggest shills are suddenly all about "not buying games on release".

There is nothing "suddenly" about me. I'm sticking to the same habits I've had for decades.

Heard a line that apparently NPCs don't move at all. They just stand in place, making it feel like a dead world. I don't mind this in general, but as a third-person game, an open-worldish kind of game, it feels pretty lame.

Stick to Bethesda games, because NPC schedules have never been important to the Black Isle/Bioware/Troika/Obsidian school of design. They focus on narrative, not "living" worlds.

 

[Elttharion]

If you guys want the pure Colombian uncut stuff, go to the Avoid subreddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/avowed/new/

They are in full cope mode with all the reviewers shitting on it.

Jfc, these have to be the same insufferable manchildren that died on the hill defending Veilguard.

Can anyone tell me what's the point in spending so much energy in shilling for a fucking videogame of all things?

Astroturfed bots

maybe back in the good old days they focused on narrative.

Patel can't do narratives in an RPG either. Any interactivity gets her a brain aneurism and she needs to lie down. Lucky for her, even she can't be fired from Microsoft.

The don't focus on anything other than story. The art department is kind of a joke and they don't focus on making a game great there. Instead the keep saying that story is everything and really everything should be important. I feel like they are so behind on tech, art and real game-play that they are doomed to fail.

- Don't use the excuse that design is king when even the design is mediocre.

They focus very much on narrative, it's just not the kind of narrative that would appeal to you.

Some definitely got one after torrented videos, and even if it doesn’t, it’s not worth taking any risks or dealing with slow torrent speeds when you can get it legally and even preload it for just a few euros.
