Can this slop at least provide some DEI cringe to laugh at or is it completely unremarkable slop?
Gay companions, women good/coorecr, men bad/incompetent, get lecture if you have wrongthink. Not just unremarkable slop, DEI slop.

Come on baby, team chud needs a victory this month. This visually repulsive fake rpg for little girls must fail.

Heard a line that apparently NPCs don't move at all. They just stand in place, making it feel like a dead world. I don't mind this in general, but as a third-person game, an open-worldish kind of game, it feels pretty lame.

Ok finished watching the Gmanshills and holy shit they returned with the heavy lore dumps after PoE 1.
So anyway this game just sediments that Carry Patel sucks at her job like I said.

Veilguard had top surgery scars and spawned a non-buynary meme, so it was high quality DEI slop overall.

This slop looks like it fails even at being an entertaining DEI slop, meh

gmanshills not liking it just means obsidian/microsoft didn't pay him.
same goes for most of these jewtubers.
you know, the ones who gave starfield a 10 and veilguard a 10?
bethesda paid.
bioware paid.

wake the fuck up, samurai.

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.
They’re also blindly sucking off Mortisimal “Veilguard is my GOTY” Gaming because he’s praising this game.

So anyway this game just sediments that Carry Patel sucks at her job like I said.
Wasn’t she the one responsible for writing that DLC companion from the first Pillars game whose only character trait was being a loud obnoxious lesbian?

Jfc, these have to be the same insufferable manchildren that died on the hill defending Veilguard.

Can anyone tell me what's the point in spending so much energy in shilling for a fucking videogame of all things?
