Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

So what is MCA up to these days?.

Apart from visiting this thread as I have, reading 3 pages back, and getting fed up with reading / seeing nothing but hopeful slurping of his dick from his fans that is.

I think I'm getting better at this edginess thing...

 

[Maggot]

Shitting on games he worked on and throwing other devs under the bus.

How is Obsidian doing those days?

Just off the top of my head, he’s writing for Bloodlines 2, he wrote for the upcoming Star Wars game, he’s writing for Waylanders, and he’s the C&C guru for Dying Light 2.

What would happen if the player does kill Horrigan when they first meet him? There's enough exploits in F2 it would be possible if he's not artificially invincible and just has his endgame stats.

Hmmm, nothing much? You just won't have an obligatory boss fight blocking your path when leaving the Enclave Rig.

It is a shame that you can't join the enclave.

It is a shame that you can't join the enclave.

The only way a mainlander (not to mention a filthy tribal like the Chosen One) could join them would be as a short-lived test subject. They really hate anyone who aren't them, planning to wipe them out even (making them a bit too similar to the antagonistic faction in the first game in my opinion).

It's definitely not Fallout-y to paralyze you in a situation like that,

I would love to know if he has played Disco Elysium already and what he thinks about it.

I did indeed, and provided some very early feedback on a limited run. I thought the game was wonderfully unique. @studioZAUM is to be congratulated.

"Well, it's... unique."

The thing with "it allows you play a role" is that it should always come with a gigantic asterisk about what that actually means. Playing as Geralt is not the same thing as playing a character in an RPG. Playing a beefy soldier in Call of Duty also isn't. Playing a nubile nymphet in one of your Japanese hentai games also isn't.

Yes. One is clearly superior to the others.

 

[Efe]

he elaborates in article which you seem to have not read (but felt the need to reply to nonetheless).

 

[Lacrymas]

He elaborates wrong, lol.

Ahhh geralt was pretty open for roleplaying in the third game,you did get a lot of possible choices. He was kind of a narrator in a way,he would say what is the optional choice,but it will also let you chose other options. It was strange thing.

So, when is Avellone's review of Outer Worlds coming out?

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

So, when is Avellone's review of Outer Worlds coming out?

Has MCA ever written an actual review for a prominent RPG he didn't work on?

 

[HanoverF]

Just his review of Arcanum.

Fucking wolves!

 

[Fairfax]

Dear @Obsidian + @PrivateDivision, NO idea how you hired @Bethesda to coordinate their announcements for @Fallout and #Fallout76, but the combo is amazing for helping @OuterWorlds. Seriously impressed.

(Also, kudos to the Outer Worlds devs – you’re getting amazing reviews!)

Especially Tim and @leonboyarsky - Leonard was kind enough to sign my Fallout 1 original game box. <3

Dare I say... over 84 on Metacritic? (ignore the PC score, PS4 is much higher)

Also, everything I've Tweeted tonight? It's the last debt I ever owe Tim Cain for creating #fallout and he never even asked for it but - he's a great developer. And good for him for #outerworlds, moon man helmet and all.

Although I have no idea if the industry has ever experienced a perfect storm, my sad self feels like this brushes up success with disappointment in a very sad, yet perfect, fashion.

MCA clearly doesn't care about working with Bethesda again.

He's right though. Fallout fans are pissed.
Don't believe me? Someone registered "falloutfirst.com" before Bethesda could grab it.

As an aside, Bethesda attempting to steal thunder from Obsidian by releasing a Fallout "Legacy collection" the same day as Outer Worlds was fucking shitty considering who made the only games worth owning in the collection.

 

[Prime Junta]

I ... didn’t understand that. Especially the last tweet. Is he being passive-aggressive or should that be taken at face value?

face value, if he hated them he'd be posting here right now

edit: o, thought you were commenting on something else
