Well as soon as I found it it was planned on being on game pass day one, I knew the quality would be that of a 15$ indie game.. basically the majority of game pass..
the swings visually look like they don't have weight and reminds me of bethesda games like Skyrim. One of the only reasons I didn't fall in love with Skyrim was how boring the combat felt and this game reminds me of that.
@@PngReaver I came across pretty harsh and I totally understand if you love skyrim for its story and level design but I personally prioritize gameplay over anything else.
@@JJacob94 almost any TES fan you talk to agrees that the combat is dogshit, but TES excels in worldbuilding, immersion, and most of all exploration. people don't pretend to enjoy it, they just enjoy it for different reasons.
When a dev team is more worriwd about pleasing shareholders than making good games, this is what happens. And it happens to everyone eventually. Lack of creativity or skill is not the enemy. It has always been greed.
They're basically just a small team at microsoft. Their impact on microsoft shares is negligible because even if they make the most successful game ever (or the biggest flop), It won't make a dent on microsoft's shares, so i'm hesitant to say what you said about them, i don't think pleasing shareholders is their primary consideration, maybe pleasing upper management or something.
@@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065 small fish aren't allowed to make big ripples; try making a AAA game on a small time budget and a time frame of any kind and you're going to fail. I mean, look at Dragon's Dogma. Capcom didn't support it, despite it being the entire DMC team's passion project, so they were given shitty funding and a season time frame, so that the game would fail and they could go back to making DMC4. And we all know how that went. 🤣 While Avowed has potential, we can only hope that Obsidian hasn't fallen prey to the same pattern as many others. 😓
It looks really stiff. Honestly reminded me of how some VR games look. I want the game to be good, but I am definitely gonna wait a bit to see if i should buy it.
Most of these criticisms are certainly fair. I can definitely agree with the physics aspect. However, keep in mind, Obsidian is still a relatively small team compared to some of the industry giants that you are comparing them to. Obsidian is still playing catch up with AAA devs, while producing really good games at a much faster rate. Say what you want about Obsidian, what they lack in quality they always make up for in substance.
After OW I realized that this wasn't the same company that made FNV... and I'm not just talking about the weak gameplay, I mean the characters, the story and the overall writing. It was all so bland and forgettable outside of a few moments like the Moon Mascot and the Movie quest. Say what you will about old Bethesda(pre-Starfield), atleast it had quite a few memorable moments and characters matched with decent gameplay.
It's the animations and AI for me. They look like they're all standing still, waiting for the player to do something. Also, I think it's probably out of the alpha development stage, it's way past that
No, it doesn't. Due to factors like muscle and bone mass, center of gravity, velocity of force applied, and others I've probably not even thought of, nobody crumbles like that. It can probably happen, but it's so conditional that it's not even worth considering. Oh, he even showed footage of some kills from The Outer Worlds. That's what you would expect a death to look like.
Well Obsidian has had a niche fan base (myself) for years, and they stoped making games for us, just like Bathesda did 10 years prior. But they are making games for the masses with Microsoft now so they shou...... No??... You guys dont like it either.?.. well damn Obsidian. You got yourselves in a real pickle I see. Ohh and they are blaming others for it too... Not a good look at all. This is how game studios die I guess.

@@grayjedi-117 The people that did is no longer with them. They literally have no talent left. Yet another studio thats waiting to die after a couple more flops. They always wanted to be bioware, and it feels like they will both meet the same end, so at the very least its fitting.
@LhynnBlue i don't agree, they've been quite productive at microsoft for their size, and they made a couple games quickly, grounded and pentiment were moderately successful, and avowed is already coming out, they've been pumping game after game, and while they weren't big hits or anything, they were decent, i think obsidian was a good purchase for microsoft, many similar sized studios bought by microsoft at the same time failed to release even a single game
Obsidian is not the same company it was back when it made Fallout New Vegas and even further. The old Dev team has been replaced by a bunch of woke women.
Well it depends where you look, videos, forums, ect. I think mechanically it looks great but I found it visually lacking. If you liked it that's awesome, I am just a bit concerned

@@gabrielmoura7146 enemies don't even flinch when you attack, and after death they fall like bags of potatoes, it's not even on the level of skyrim where your impact sent them flying. This here looks like the default unreal engine ragdolls which don't recieve any impulse from interaction.
@@humanandhalf4118 Bro... Skyrim is literally the worst example you could have brought...

Thanks for watching! How are you feeling about Avowed?

Skyrims combat has to be the biggest dog shit on the market, i dont understand how people can still pretend to enjoy that game
There's definitely a reason why we have the "Stealth archer" stereotype, I hope at least that the bows and guns feel good
Because it's overall a good game, good story. You realize calling combat bad from a decade old game is reductive to urself right? @@JJacob94

That's totally fair, and they want to keep that AA feel, I have faith that the world and writing will be great
Oofh those swings are week and hit reaction is non existent and ai just looks hungry

You may be right, I honestly can't remember where I saw that it was alpha but the last time we saw Avowed they said it was in pre-alpha
idk if you have ever seen someone get killed but your body drops the same way lmfao. ragdoll can apply where it makes sense like in a moving vehicle.

It looks horrible.
wasnt this game supposed to be a dark fantasy at one point?
Looks like it was made for mobile... Similar to TES mobile game.
It doesn't imo
Hey if you think it looks good that's totally ok
It doesn't look like you're hitting the enemy itself. You can almost see the hitbox you're hitting instead.

I wouldn't say that, they've made some excellent stuff but it could definitely look better
