[Tyranicon]

It's doomed.

 

[darkpatriot]

You can really feel the excitement codexers have for this game from these news threads about it.

That bear boss fight is pathetic.
The bear doesn't even try to move, it even attacks the air while the player stands in place and shoots him.
There's multiple moments where sharkguy and the bear stare at each other, waiting for their cooldowns to come back.
That should tell you everything there is to know about Avowed.

 

[Butter]

This UI is truly fucking awful.

Compare to what people used to think was the worst a gamer could be:

 

[HammyTheFat]

Looks like total dogshit. I ended up uninstalling and deleting outer worlds after an hour of slogging through it and somehow this looks even worse.

I was going to say I might pirate it, but after watching more it doesn't look like its worth wasting bandwidth on.

Mortismal released 3 videos about it recently including dev interview if anyone`s interested. He`s a big fan of poe1 and poe2 so there`s even a lore deep dive.

I was pretty sceptical about the game but after seeing his gameplay I must confess I`m somewhat hyped, the game looks solid and it will be in game pass so I will check it for sure if stalker 2 allows.

Your grifter of the day loved Veilguard so this is condemning if anything.

 

[Agesilaus]

I don't play fps games sorry

 

[tomphonse]

I will make a Morrowind killer in 10 years that will be way better than this. You'll see!

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I don't play fps games sorry

You should give some of those a change.
Hexen and F.E.A.R. were pretty good.

 

[Jaesun]

I don't play fps games sorry

If you have never played Deus Ex or System Shock 2, you are really missing out on 2 great rpgs.

 

[MerchantKing]

Why do they keep having numbers pop up on the screen in an action game? It just doesn't look good.

You have to keep your zombie audience stimulated somehow, and floating numbers are easier than streaming Subway Surfers in the bottom left corner.

 

[Dark Souls II]

We can have 17 different Avowed threads at once, but in Avowed only one enemy will ever attack you at a time, and all the other enemies will stand in line and do nothing and wait in line to be killed. That's because the devs are retarded and they were too busy implementing things like pronouns instead of making an enganging combat system. Never forget that.

 

[normie]

what does it even pay to promote shit games on the codex? or is part of the deal that you're not allowed to disclose it? Infinitron Roguey

 

[Dr1f7]

you know PoE wasn't amazing or anything but it was ok for what it was and we don't get many crpgs
why drop that to make a bad arpg when we already have a shitton of good ones?

People think numbers = RPG, but it looks very retarded on an action game like Avowed.

Wokesidian isn't capable of making another non cringe POE anyways. These pozzed studios just need to die, the future of RPGs is not in them.
