yeah lol that made me furrow my brow too when I heard that in the live stream. Almost like they are grasping at straws trying to find something, anything, to say about this soulless and talentless cashgrab.

there are games made by indie studios consisting of 5 people that look better than this. They barely even touched the sliders from their default position in Unreal Engine, just lol.

so we have actual blacks and fantasy blacks with the soyblack haircut

If they want to create an unique black character just make one with a functioning family and a day job. That'd be the day though.

Obsidian showed off a few minutes of combat, a couple of dialogue scenes, and a few more environments at today's Xbox Developer Direct.

​

I hope you like obnoxious 21st century Millennial writing and broccoli hair. It's scheduled for Fall 2024.

Concerned women and cucked Amerimutt men.
I'd say that's,

Avowed - Looks like shit. Boring cartoonish combat. Maybe due to microsoft UX standards
HellBlade - no gameplay . Movie garbages
Mana - Boring cartoonish game with horrible dialogues
ARA - not sure
Indiana Jones - get ready for another hollywood movie instead of a game

They should rename the developer direct to hollywood directs.

 

[Vic]

ARA - not sure

that's the only game that looks interesting to me, but if the puzzles in Indian Jones are good that might be fun too.



but looking at this steam page again, I don't really have much hope that they can design a game with decent depth.

 

[Tyranicon]

Looks lame.

Achaelund is much better and it's made by one dude.

 

[covr]

So it is Harry Potter spin-off set in one of the most boring universes, but with graphics from Might and Magic X.

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is so much more promising is you are looking for fantasy 1st person crpg.

From the showcase comments section:

 

[Jenkem]

A modern-day warrior

 

[whydoibother]

The Outer Worlds with swords?

 

[Conan]

Roguey pissed that Josh has nothing to do with this game and will therefore be the best game set in Eora he has to take passive-aggressive jabs in a news post.

SAD!

"Best game set in Eora"

go ahead, name a better one

It bears mentioning that the best game set in ur-ethra is the one that hasn't come out yet and only because soyyer is not involved.

 

[whydoibother]

Hmm, I wonder what /v/ thinks abo-

Nevermind.

 

[Ryzer]

I'm sure this game and the Outer Worlds 2 will add great value to the gamepass catalog!

I am sure Microsoft didn't buy Bethesda and Obsidian to "add value" to the Gamepass. These are supposed to be nuclear weapons, not duds. This is supposed to be Skyrim 2.

Nevermind.

Nigger's on the money.

Looks a bit meh to be honest, the style of gameplay is not one I particularly enjoy so I probably won't be buying it. Also, dual-wielding wands looks goofy.

They went from those glyphs/gestures from the previous trailer, to pew-pew lasergun wands. Looks dumber for sure.

 

[Bohrain]

The canyon area looks so fucking overexposed in the daylight, jesus what is their art director doing? And the 3D fishmen need some redesign, black sclera can work, but the iris has to have lighter value and more saturation to pop out properly. Now the eyes just blend into the eye sockets and ruin the focus of the shot in the dialogue scenes.
Combat looks quite literally like Oblivion with guns. Except quite possibly even slower. Defensive options seems to be to either kite or press block/parry button. Action games don't have to be dodgeroll fests, but this seems to be even shallower than that considering there was no indication of directional parries or sidesteps or anything like that. I doubt there will much tactical decisions being made, your build will probably either allow you to spam the same combo like freeze + shatter, or not be restricting at all so everyone will do the optimal equivalent of stealth archery instead.
Voice actors seem to be same ones from PoE 1 and 2 except that they aren't voicing the same characters. You don't want them to be recognizeable when they aren't playing the same character for fucks sake. Is their union forcing them to use the same dozen people for all their productions, or is their casting and voice director that lacking? Also I can't fucking stand kwa accents in medieval renaissance fantasy, it sounds too modern.
This very much seems like a game made by people who have lot of money to blow for fidelity, but very poor sense for design.

I blame Harry Potter and soyfornia!

 

[goregasm]

I always felt this game was going to be trash, it looks way worse than I imagined. Way worse. From technical onward.

A damned shame as I didn't hate poe1, and found the world and setting fairly interesting if I'm being honest.

This looks like ass, sounds like ass and seems to be made by people who like themselves handfuls of some man ass.

 

[Drowed]

I have no expectations for this game at all. Yet, somehow, I feel like it will still manage to disappoint me. What a curious feeling.

 

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

omg please make it stop

 

[Peachcurl]

The combat bit looked decent _for a game of this type_.

The dialog and characters... uhh... okay, I guess I can say I'm not surprised?
