lol, this review guy ( https://youtu.be/xb7Am7VtzLQ?t=340 ) says his RTX 2080 Ti (a thousand dollar card) wasn't able to keep 60fps at 1440p in TOW when things got crowded or in some cities.

good to know the game will have that classic Obsidian performance, where current flagship hardware won't be enough to hold 60fps at a standard resolution in crowded areas.
Just another reason I'm waiting for the official Steam release
Deadfire performance got worse the more they patched it.
That's... that's a good point

For fuck sake it took me 10 hours to pre-load the game because XGP's download speed is load of crap and when the download finishes it says something is wrong and needs to "resuming" the game. Then it ask me to download the game again despite it already took 37 GB of space from my hard drive.

I have to admit that when it comes to "young people on the Codex", the category seems to be just her and smaug, so I mean... I guess she's doing great!

Right... ?

:negative:

ItsChon is also part of the new Codex zoomer crew.

And CorpseBride, but she doesn't talk about RPGs, so...

Disagree. Cain and Boyarsky explicitly asked the owners to prevent any interference by Sawyer, plus he quickly lost his (fake) producer role.

Edit: The owners told Sawyer not to interfere, but it's not clear if Cain and Boyarsky asked for it.

As design director he still has the ability to provide feedback, they're just free to disregard anything they disagree with. Clearly they agreed to play it much safer than Troika ever did or even pre-Sawyersidian.

Critic consensus on TOW appears to be "Sawyersidian without the balance." Page 4 Roguey was right:
Is Sawyer involved with this in anyway?
He's the design director, his touch reaches everything they do now.

Additionally from that Glassdoor review,
Scope of projects can spiral out of control due to failures at the production level (bad data fed to directors) or project directors with good data making delusional decisions.
"Project directors with good data making delusional decisions" doesn't seem to describe this considering the finished product, so I guess that really is Shiny Objects Sawyer.
Told you. :cool:
Would you want the guy behind the pillars of eternity games to be giving you advice?

Has anyone posted ACG's review yet? He likes it but said that the gunplay is a bit 'airy'. Which isn't good. But the rest of the game looks pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65bOLMVAXHU

(Trigger warning: he's playing the game on console)

Graphics: Dated
Story: Hurr durr I suck obsidian cock hurr durr gurgle gurgle wow so progressive fuck capitalism haha they give choices and ppl react wow wow wow slurp slurp gurgle gurgle
Gameplay: sucks
Sound: what the fuck does this retard know about sound and music as long as a violin isn't abrasively screeching in his ear 24/7 he's happy

Total: 10/10 buy buy buy buy

Yeah totally legit reviews coming from this guy

Like just because 1 female in the game has short hair it doesn't invalidate all the humor to me

lets play a drinking game after the game launches, we take a shot everytime you see a woman with short hair as we play and report back

once again hair length doesnt invalidate humor to me, they are 2 seperate things, one thing makes a girl less attractive, and one thing is based on society and knowledge of the world

so advertising slogans that are exaggerated yet certainly possible given corporate ethics are now reddit humor, maybe you aren't intelligent enough to understand it

I didnt know that light hearted jokes were so hated here

You guys must be so badass

I watched a Coke ad recently that was a bunch of happy bullshit that obviously has nothing to do with coke with a bunch of well behaved people of all races and creeds coming together

that exists in the real world, and a game is just having some honest fun, maybe reddit is better than the codex

ok wait, so i'm real late to this party and i didnt realise it wasnt on steam?

this is just... what

ok, so even if i've just crawled out from underneath a rock and missed the hype train of one of the codex's most anticipated releases of 2019

this is just laughably bizarre, I mean why?
