Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - now on Early Access - coming February 18th

[Roguey]

Most of those are futuristic games with call of dooty weapons,

Freeze guns could exist.

Diablo 3 and 4, grimdawn and a myriad other ARPGS have done it, its a staple of fantasy games, its fucking retarded to even imply its original or that theres some merit because it exists.

I don't care about Diablo-likes at all, I'm talking about real games.

 

[luj1]

Jesus christ, it looks so bad I cant even come up with anything to say to do it justice.

Roguey asking which action rpg in the past 10 years lets you freeze people

Shameless Shill x 1

You are a bloody idiot mate. If Avowed is an RPG then Diablo is too.

Diablo is a clicker, Avowed is an actual game. Might not be a good one, but a game nevertheless.

 

[luj1]

You are insane

 

[Rhobar121]

I have a question, how much do you get paid for defending Obsidian's shit?
It's hard for me to believe that someone does this for free.
Alternatively, it must be extremely shitty taste.

Gentlemen, let's compromise, they're both RPGs. "RPG" is a very broad genre descriptor, it's not a stamp of quality and you're allowed to like RPGs in general while hating certain titles or subtypes over their individual (de)merits. So come now, compromising is the perfect way to ensure everyone's unhappy.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Pretty sure every ARPG in the past 10 years allows you to do it.
Youd have to struggle to find one that didnt, maybe one that didnt feature Ice magic.

Its absurd that you think this is not the case.

"Name me one RPG that allows you to CC and then nuke your opponent! Can't, huh? Thought so!"

 

[Quillon]

The Witcher 3 did not (until a DLC put in a mutation that kinda/sorta does it), Fallout 4 did not, Mankind Divided did not, Andromeda did not, ELEX did not, Kingdom Come did not, Greedfall did not, The Outer Worlds did not, Cyberpunk did not, ELEX 2 did not, Weird West did not, Starfield did not.

Shattering frozen enemies isn't a new feature, but it's not a common one either.

Why are you guys even debating this?

but Fallout 4 has it: the locked weapon in the first vault is "cryolator". Pretty sure andromeda has it too via cryo ammo, ME3 certainly had it.

Its just Roguey lowkey white knighting obsidian, as always. Fucking dude, the more he says he changes, the more he stays the same, much like Infinitron, you cant trust any opinion of his, especially about obsidian trashfires.

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

Unforgettable action rpgs are kinda rare thing to release tbh. Who the fuck remembers greedfall for instance? Did it have this kind of mechanic? Who knows, I've just reminded 90% of the thread it was a thing.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Who the fuck remembers greedfall for instance?

I'm just so glad I dropped this during the tutorial. I could see where it was all going. I wouldn't have installed it at all if it wasn't for the colonial fantasy setting.

I lasted a couple hours before I saw it was insanely dull, but then again, im not the brightest guy.
Just complete shit and one of the worst titles that developer has produced.

 

[lukaszek]

people bitch on this and greedfall like if we had many titles with flintlocks

Or with freezing and shattering, right?

Wisely not committing to calling Avowed an RPG.

I feel like you've been playing low-effort games for so long that you've forgotten what a good RPG is like.

 

[ArchAngel]

So what is going on with Avoid?

 

[user]

Why is there even a debate about this, it's not like it enriches the game or something.

It's a different playstyle. Certainly seems like a go-to to shatter as many creatures as you can instead of whittling down their health every time.

Betting that it's only going to work on 1-2 hit enemies and be mostly aesthetic - or have a % threshold.

Bet with me cowards. We should have a betting system in this forum with rewards and penalties. What kind of rpg forum is this, linear post progression and paywalls - not to mention achievements available even to the lowest common denominator.

 

[Iskramor]

Avowed's companions won't ditch you for making the 'wrong' choices: 'It's not about maintaining their approval, it's about getting to know them'​

Choices & No Consequences.

It's like Obsidian doesn't even wanna make CRPGs anymore.

Looks iffy. Might wanna avoid it.
