IDK why you folx are bothering to read/watch reviews for this turd. We already saw more than enough to conclude it's not even worth pirating. "I gotta get Mr Matty Plays's take tho!"

We're here for the entertainment like the Veilguard thread.

If you guys want the pure Colombian uncut stuff, go to the Avoid subreddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/avowed/new/

They are in full cope mode with all the reviewers shitting on it.

[MrMattyPlays] became ragebait reviewer somewhere in the last 6 months/year. It's very easy to discover that by looking at titles/videos uploaded in that period.

I sometimes listen to his podcast with Lord Cognito, and I remember him stating very clearly that "it was very easy to dogpile on Starfield, the views speak for themselves" (talking about his own videos). I suspect that's where it began.

Shame. I liked watching him before.
Ah, yes. The guy that got caught purposefully leaking his review footage to an anti-woke channel for Veilguard. He's seems trustworthy. /s
It's strange, even if the game is dated and somewhat shallow as depicted.

I don't really have a complaint, I will happily take an old school $30 hit. We are so deprived of decent western style rpgs.
Fallout New Vegas is 8/10 on average too. It's just what Obsidian does, games that don't appeal to everyone.
If the main negative is that it doesn't do too too much new and is pretty "standard" then I am good.

said art direction:

What exactly is wrong with this? Except maybe the hairstyle which looks too modern and neat for an Orlan.

I do it so that when someone googles "Avowed RPG" the first thing they see is an RPG Codex link and a quote of me saying "THE AVOWED RPG FISH NIGGER IS A FAGGOT".

By the way the prestigious folx of Resetera are already claiming this to be the Game of the Year :smug:

Ok, so it's mediocre. The question is it more mediocre than The Outer Worlds? Is it as shit as pillars one?

Is it Dungeon Siege 3 bad?

Personally I'm with Morgoth on this one, could be fine at what it does.

Its face is weirdly scrunched together and doesn't seem to fit its head properly so looking at it is a little unsettling. I hate Orlans though so I'll admit that my bias might be showing.
The thing is, nearly every face in this game has something wrong with it. Either something about eyes or hair, or face structre or all together. Uncanny valley galore...

Watched a few reviews, now I am not even enthused to try it on gamepass.
Even putting aside its dead world and lame quests, purely from aesthetic perspective this game is so ugly. Interface is ugly, world looks ugly, characters look ugly. It is like the game was made by some rare anti-talent, compared to KCD2 which was made by a real talent. Just compare the interfaces of the two games (or, well, anything).

Yeah, I looked up some early let's plays after this comment to check it out and the faces look especially weird during dialogues. Not a deal breaker for me but certainly a bit distracting.
