But you didn't fuck up. There's a message of hope: kith must now sink or swim without the meddling of the AI Gods. A harder road to travel, but one that could possibly result in a better world. "No Gods, No Masters," - Josh Sawyer
So either Awoowed is so bad even this retard journofaggot can't stomach it.
4 timeless masterpieces
That is correct: well-received by customers and made a profit over time (bad marketing), well-received by customers and sold millions, well-received with tens of millions of players on Game Pass, well-received Game Pass art title.
By that logic, Oblivion was a masterpiece
There are a lot of elder Zoomers and Millennials who in fact say that.
There are a lot of elder Zoomers and Millennials who say they're women after cutting their cocks off. But I suppose that is a good point – just like they can be "women," TOW can be a "masterpiece." Maybe we should call it a transterpiece?
Codex is the guy in the foreground when it comes to popular games that have remained popular for nearly 20 years
If you think Oblivion is the coolest thing ever, you might be on the wrong site. I hear RPGWatch is always looking for new members.Codex is the guy in the foreground when it comes to popular games that have remained popular for nearly 20 years
I thought it was stupid and not particularly fun, but that just makes me an outlier and out of alignment with the tastes of the masses.
And why should tastes of the masses matter, especially here of all places?
Why would any game developer care about whether or not something is considered a timeless masterpiece on the Codex?
Are you a developer? If not, why do you care what some developer thinks?
Also saying that the Watcher achieved nothing is very surface level.
I accept my unimportance.
This may apply to Skyrim and Oblivion, because even with their flaws they can be enjoyable. But not to Obsidian's games which are all overwritten pseudo-intellectual garbage pretending to be deep and meaningful while being painfully mediocre. They're the opposite of coolest thing ever. Also saying games that are free on gamepass sold millions is an oxymoron.Codex is the guy in the foreground when it comes to popular games that have remained popular for nearly 20 years
Sounds like you prefer the lowbrow and find the highbrow very intimidating.
The Elder Scrolls is an anomaly because it was the first RPG series to successfully go multiplatform. It's not that hard to put Oblivion on a pedestal when its predecessor Morrowind, which had some of the worst gameplay and cookie-cutter quest design ever seen in a Western ARPG, was the first (and probably only) open-world RPG for most XBox players during the sixth console generation. Obsidian does not have this luxury. Avowed will be negatively compared to Skyrim just like how The Outer Worlds was to Fallout New Vegas.
Because the Codex is too small of a community to sustain game dev studios by itself? Just look at Iron Tower.
PoE 2 and Tyranny were both financial flops, and the vast majority of Codexers who like FNV happen to hate TOW.
Obsidian is not highbrow, they write stuff that pretends to be deep in the surface but in reality is extremely shallow. They're basically midwits in the bell curve. Old Bethesda would be on the left and hardcore stuff like Dark Souls or Elden Ring on the right.
That's still not selling millions. Because nobody is paying to actually play an Obsidian game, they're paying for Gamepass in the same way they're paying for Netflix.
Did anyone here play Pentiment? How really is it?
Tyranny is also a shit game.
The premise was cool, but the execution leaved a lot to be desired even outside of the unfinished main story. It might have had replayability and all, but I outright disliked all factions besides the Disfavored hence it did nothing for me in practice. Crazy faction was cringe, native factions were cringe (primarily the matriarchal cringe), fedora tipper assassin was cringe.
