Company News Paradox and Obsidian to announce something evil on March 15th

[CptMace]

Why would anyone bitch about Paradox ? How many pc-focused publishers still exist today ? Why do you hate Jesus ?

 

[Irenaeus III]

What we had all been waiting for: A Fampyr spin off from PoE

You are obviously not up to date with computer game industry. I suggest you lurk more.

 

[CptMace]

You're right, there's Valve too

 

[oldmanpaco]

It's a good partnership, Obsidian can't really survive in the AAA space and Paradox is a publisher with a lot of money and a tendency to stay within the niche areas. (While still somehow making a lot of money.)

Yeah I wonder how. I'm going to go play CK2 enhanced with $300 in DLC now.

Also:

Final Score: Sensible
Your capacity for evil is minimal, and you seem like a rational, reasonable sort. That’s good! As long as it doesn’t get you killed...

Their absolutely deplorable DLC policy where they fuck up the previously perfectly playable game you paid good money for with a "free update" introducing features you can't control in anyway without purchasing yet another fucking DLC.

 

[Irenaeus III]

Also they have turned SJW/multiculturalist leftists after building a player base of reactionary European whites like me (I have probably spent $1,000 in their games). Basically treason.

 

[Forest Dweller]

It's going to be a World of Tanks strategy game in the Paradox style.

 

[Bleed the Man]

It should be project vermont, right?

Unless it's something we didn't have any information before this.

 

[Aenra]

Quite frankly, i could not give a fuck until i get something concrete. Hype and Obsidian no longer mix in my book..

Final Score: Unique Snowflake of Isolation
You hate Americans, wannabe Americans, Arabs, Muslims, Northern European closet lords too weak to smell the coffee on their door, SJWs, Liberals, Idiots, Uneducated Plebs and Children. You thought Herod was cool, but then you read about Hitler.

Paradox, impressed by the initial launch of Pillars of Eternity, hired Obsidian to exclusively handle QA for all future Paradox titles.

What was wrong with the initial launch of Pillars of Eternity? I had literally zero bugs

 

[Jaesun]

I'm not sure what to think.... so I will just sit here and twiddle my thumbs....

 

[Hegel]

Slowdowns, CTDs, bugged and corrupted savegames, broken quests, bugged stats, bloated loading times.

 

[Excidium II]

Slowdowns, CTDs, bugged and corrupted savegames, broken quests, bugged stats, bloated loading times.

Everything in the game could break with save/reload, it was p. amazing.

 

[Infinitron]

I think the two major bugs PoE had on launch was some Raedric's Hold crash and the thing where your stats got fucked up if you double-clicked to equip/unequip. Both of them were not noticed by game journalists, happily for Obsidian.

 

[Hegel]

According to the sawyerist school of design, savegames are not fun.

 

[Excidium II]

I think the two major bugs PoE had on launch was some Raedric's Hold crash and the thing where your stats got fucked up if you double-clicked to equip/unequip.

And barbarian carnage talent adding 20 flat damage instead of 20%. They took their sweet time to fix that one.

They were bugs added in the day one patch, at least the one that fucked your stats

Wouldn't call that "major" as it doesn't stop or ruin your game.

 

[Rahdulan]

Couldn't this be that re-purposed XBox One exclusive they previously mentioned to be working on again? I mean, WoD game would be nice too.

 

[Excidium II]

It is p. major, trivializes every battle in the game. Without an early save from before level up to run to, your only option was starting over. Many people who got triple crown solo first just abused that bug with retaliation armors.

 

[Infinitron]

It's not impossible. That project has been around since the beginning of 2014, and Obsidian first announced their partnership with Paradox just a couple of months later. On the other hand, "repurposed XBox One exclusive" sounds like some kind of big budgetish thing, not the kind of game I thought Paradox was in to back in 2014.

 

[Hegel]

Perhaps a secret PoE expansion?

 

[Excidium II]

It's probably too early to announce PoE Gold, might it be PoE 2 Fig hype?
