@ChrisAvellone, we are disappoint. Your only option is to make this into a subtle deconstruction of the F2P MMO genre. Or else.

What the fuck is this shit?

It seems that Obsidian can't get decent deals anymore. This is quite sad, because they made some good games in the past (not without flaws of course, but New Vegas and Kotor 2 were pretty good and there were also NWN2 and Mask of the Betrayer). Obsidian used to work with BioWare and Bethesda, and now they are partners with some obscure company with bad rep in Russia and most likely no reputation abroad.

Keep in mind that this is indicative of Obsidian's reputation in mid-2012, not today. South Park just gave them a big reputation boost. Still in top 5 on Steam.

Now we just have to wait another 2 years to see if Obsidian will manage to leverage their improved reputation. If we're lucky, we might get another 3rd person cover shooter ARPG with terrible combat and minigames.

'Heroes of Eternity', a MOBA based on the PoE franchise.

So right after the wildly successful Fallout: New Vegas and done on time and cheaply, DS3. Wasn't the whole point of DS3 to build their reputation? I guess they did so well it qualifies them to make f2p knockoffs.

So, it looks like without Sawyer, it's pretty hard to look at the present day Obsidian as an RPG studio.

Yes, but this armored shitfare will once again destroy it............

 

[Infinitron]

Meh, who cares. By then PoE will be out, the money will start flowing in, and everything will have changed.

 

[Morality Games]

I hope it makes them an absolutely enormous pile of money to put towards something else.

Whatever gets you through this, but at a certain point you have to stop telling yourself that.

Meh, who cares. By then PoE will be out, the money will start flowing in, and everything will have changed.

Yeah. There will be blackjack. And hookers.

so still no word on the 2nd kickstarter?

League of Legends Action RPG.

EDIT:

In seriousness, no.

 

[Zombra]

Yes, but this armored shitfare will once again destroy it............

Come on, buddy. You're not even trying. Armored Whorefare is sitting right there.

Obsidian Entertainment and My.com, the subsidiary of Mail.Ru Group, the largest Internet company in Russian-speaking countries, today revealed Armored Warfare, a massively multiplayer online tactical military video game. Armored Warfare features stunning next-gen visuals, dynamic destructible environments, customizable vehicles and intense team-based gameplay where players work to crush each other with the power of modern combat vehicles in a free-to-compete experience.

“Armored Warfare gives players two deep levels of upgrading and progression through a huge array of both military vehicles and their own personal military base. Each giving players a diverse and wide-ranging path of strategies,” said Richard Taylor, Project Director of Obsidian Entertainment. “We are incredibly excited to bring Armored Warfare to players around the world, so they can enjoy the strategic and destructive potential of modern fighting vehicles.”

In Armored Warfare, players will take on the role of private military contractors who are called into action throughout a modern virtual world. Overseeing their own personal command base, players will expand, enhance, and customize their headquarters, manage and upgrade their military convoy of vehicles, and train and develop their crews through a robust reputation and experience system. Dynamic environments in Armored Warfare require players to change strategies on the battlefield at a moment’s notice keeping them ever vigilant to the tides of battle.

A variety of team-based tactical and competitive gameplay modes in Armored Warfare will not only test the mettle of players in PvP, but will have them pulling together group strategies in order to overcome grueling player-versus-environment (PvE) scenarios. Players will also be able to join Clans and participate in large scale Territory Wars in the power struggle for world domination. Armored Warfare will continue to be updated and supported for years to come with new weapons, vehicles, base elements, and battle modes.

Armored Warfare will launch into closed beta in 2014 for PC.

This isn't a fucking joke Zed, this is real life.

'The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind the 'dex.'


Hope Skyway is seeing that and laughing his ass off.

 

[Xeon]

They like saying Armored Warfare.

 

[Zombra]

They like saying Armored Warfare.

Haha, 12 times in 14 sentences. :D

 

[aratuk]

The game's website is working even less today than it was yesterday. Now it just redirects to games.my.com. I guess that's an improvement over bad gateway errors.

Meh, who cares. By then PoE will be out, the money will start flowing in, and everything will have changed.

Yeah. There will be blackjack. And hookers.

Yeah. Obsidian Blackjack for iPhone. Next logical step.

According to metacritic DS3 was the worst Dungeon Siege game.
