I actually like IGN these days. They were a joke for many years, but Dan Stapleton and Ryan McCaffrey have really turned ship around.

The PC Invasion review gives me a lot of hope for being able to roleplay my character (killing everybody who has that "iconic" hairstyle ala Ellie's). I still don't have confirmation that you can kill companions yourself though.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

Are w gonna pretend that 83% is not lukewarm by modern review "standards"?

For the Gamestar and a Obsidian game review, this is an abysmal score.

You can. Either before recruiting them or after they leave. On supernova companions can die in your employ, so there as well.

Is there as single good looking female character on this "game"? How POZZED is it on a scale from 1-10?

PCGamer:

There's a category of games I think of as Saturday morning cartoon games. They lack depth, but they are fluffy and easy to enjoy.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

sounds like a console rpg, such as prey and bioshock 3

Can't wait to download it and play it. These stealth releases need to stop.

IGN is still a joke. But not a funny one

Awesome. I can forgive other people's mistakes if I can correct them myself with bullets.

Dunno. I think some of them could be "good looking" if not for that haircut.

 

[Nerevar]

If someone can show me a pretty girl character I might consider this game. If I wanted to see ugly girls I'd just go outside.

Spoilered because I don't know if it was posted before and because it is FUGLY worse than Mass Effect Andromeda.

Spoiler

From the same review

If you don't go in expecting a deep systems-driven sandbox, it's a pleasure to breeze through.

90% of the people ITT saying "lol im gonna kill all the dykes and trannies XDDD" are going to end up doing a paragon playthrough to avoid making QT Parvati upset and we all know it

I think he accidentally played a ubisoft checklister instead of TOW.

Parvati must die too, we can't allow street shitting in space.

This will be Deadfire vs. PFKM all over again, but this time it's TWO vs. Disco Elysium.

I don't see how. Disco and TOW are way different games.

Sounds like you are projecting yourself.

 

[Prime Junta]

Oh you.

 

[Fedora Master]

This will be Deadfire vs. PFKM all over again, but this time it's TWO vs. Disco Elysium.

But that implies that one game is actually good.

guess watching brazil didn't do the trick

 

[ArchAngel]

I don't feel like even torrenting this game. I don't like First person combat in RPGs and I don't find Obsidian writing anything worth reading after Kotor 2 and MotB. And reviews say that even the combat they got is not even as good as one in Fallout 4 (and that one was passable).
What I will do is put Cohh's stream on my second monitor and watch him go through the trouble while I am playing PKM.

The reviewer makes it sound like having a lower IQ is something to be proud of.

Kinnda my thoughts. Game looks about as innovative, original and noteworthy as Deadfire, except it's actually a new IP. Everything about it is beige. It's the most aggressively acceptable game I've seen in years. Sigh, at least it's not isometric I guess. Will come in handy in the barren months following the Christmas when there's nothing new to play and it's 8 bucks on a cd key store.

I watched Brazil too, so this means I'm ready to be a game writer.

if you don't go in expecting a great game it's a great game
