My biggest gripe with Outer Worlds was how unalive the word/s felt. I just always go back to my first time entering Megaton in Fallout 3. I see people walking around, I hear people talking, and none of it is for me. It's all just people (npc's lol), living their lives. I got none of the from Outer Worlds and it really hurt my overall experience. I didn't care about walking around town. I'd just run to my marker and that's it. If they've fixed that problem for this game then I'm there day 1.
I get the feeling it will be somewhere in between. Not full Bethesda levels of all NPCs being systematic characters you can talk to like in Megaton, but probably fleshed out more than TOW?
Some of the other reviews/interviews I've seen, seems to have a much more living world. You might be getting what you're hoping for. All the buzz about it and the sort of shock it seemed to have caused - all sound like good news to me
they were right, this game seams tailor made for me, god himself could release a game on same day as Avowed, and i would choose Avowed EVERY single time
So happy to hear Avowed is shaping up to be a great RPG, I want Obsidian to make more games like Pentiment, and if the good writing is there, I'll be there.
As a big RPG fan, I decided to check out the Pillars games after learning about Avowed. I can now say that they are one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time - right up there with BG3. I’m so glad I gave the Pillars games a chance because the dialogue, storytelling, and world are phenomenal. So hyped for Avowed! While Skyrim is one of my favorite games for its world and exploration, the writing and the actual role-playing/dialogue was never really its strongpoint. In Skyrim, the best role-play was really up to your own imagination. All that said, I think Avowed is going to help demonstrate that it is possible for a first person RPG to have fun combat and exploration, along with really strong storytelling/role-play. I do think they are doing some pretty innovative things here - especially with introducing the platforming/parkour element. I always liked playing a rogue-type character in Skyrim, but I think Avowed will help players better embody that play style when they can really zoom around, leap to ledges, dodge, etc. I want to be clear that I am in do way dissing Skyrim as I know it’s now over a decade old 😂
ac syndicate is really funny to me bc i kinda feel like it should’ve switched release orders with unity. syndicate was this last grasp of what ac used to be and unity (nowadays) felt like this ambitious step forward i kinda wish they stuck with
Ever since the first trailer I've been excited for this. I'm disappointed that the tone sort of changed with the game in comparison to the first trailer, but literally everything else people have talked about with this game gets me more and more excited for it.
@@alexlyster3459i don‘t even think the changes are that big. Rewatch de reveal and you see it kinda beeing colorful as well. Not that much yes, but it was largely at a mountain/cave type setting.
I think more people go back to older games than y'all might realize, especially with that report of 60% of game time being devoted to 6-year-old titles It makes sense that y'all specifically wouldnt have time for it, but I think a lot of people end up playing certain things years later when they hit deep discount
I wonder, if that statistic includes online-games like Destiny, DotA etc. or evergreen games like Cities Skylines Civ 6, Minecraft because that would seem to heavily skew that statistic. 6+ years is like a complete console cycle and by now that "deep" discount hits after like two years or the game is on gamepass or some other publisher service where you can pay like maybe 10 bucks to play the entire library for a month or so.
@paulszki To the first point, I'm sure a significant chunk of that 60% is made up of Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, & GTA V To the second point, that's pretty much what I'm saying. For example, I didn't buy Yakuza: Like a Dragon when it came out because I had dozens of games in my backlog, including other Yakuza games, and I knew it would be over 60% off in 2 years
Outer Worlds came to gamepass early as well. I don't remember if it was D1 or not, but I remember it being in the service pretty early in its lifespan. edit: checked and it was Day 1
Hyped for Avowed! The 5-day early launch is clutch, since my friends will be pulling me to Wilds later that month. Just hope reviews (and NDA's) are up early to match.
Off all the games Xbox has shown off / released, I am really feeling the pull of Avowed. Especially in this time of year, I'm clamouring for a Skyrim-esque RPG to just get lost in. Since this is coming out next year, I am heavily debating whether I should jump into Path of Exile 2 early access, tho I kinda want to wait for the full story release, too!
@@arckinenso7615 idk about that. The first review I saw he shows the scale of the area that was unlocked and said it was 15-20hrs and the city was like a 1/3rd of that section - which was locked down, entering it boots the player from the demo. So the city would add even more playtime just for this area for sure. He also said there was some kind of sublevel. Then he navigated to the world map and it was hard to tell exactly how much was there but it's certainly Skyrim sized, maybe bigger.
They have mentioned liking what they see in the trailers, but Andy mentioned that he went back to the first one a couple months ago and found it super slow. I also tried the first one recently and felt pretty similar. It definitely has a slow, clunky feel. However I have a feeling that the stuff we didn’t like about the game is actually part of the appeal to its audience, so I’m not sure if I really want them to change much and lose the spirit of what they are.
Everyone tried to sell me on Black Flag. I get the pirate thing, but any stealth game without a sneak button AT LEAST is a fail for me. I started Syndicate after the 60 fps patch and so far it's just better in almost every gameplay metric.
I really wish Avowed was coming to PS5 on launch. I'm having an amazing time with Dragon Age The Veilguard, the combat is top notch and the story, while not perfect, I'm enjoying but it definitely hasn't filled the void Baldur's Gate 3 left for me lol. While I'm still playing BG3 but really do need something that scratches that itch a bit more.
You've waited so long, it doesn't matter if it "comes out" a week earlier or not. Also if this turns out to be buggy you likey want to wait a couple months anyway. For me, I'm finally playing Baldur's Gate 3 and this helps immensely in fighting off any fomo, because it's easy to argue "why buy this now if you're knee-deep into bg3?"
They decided it was better to be flexible. Instead of three dedicated podcasts, it's five flexible episodes of gamecast. There's more content, and they cycle the hosts depending on the topics.
Will that help you sleep? What does it change for you if people stop calling it early access? I'm sure your life will be immediately better if the irrelevant term changes.
They didn't let them record the character creation because there is pronouns and body type A-B. Another game with gender politics injected. I am so done with this gender agenda/collecting brownie points.
One thing about Parris is that I feel like sometimes he's so disingenuous about his takes. It just seems like he's winging it because he really doesn't have an opinion about it....but not here....this feels genuine.
Pariss shouldn't be thanking them for having him. They should be thanking him for doing press for them. When some of these folks go to those press days they sound compromised. In reference to Avowed being 60fps he said "Carrie, told me it would be minimum 30fps" with a straight face. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've heard a developer say and these guys didn't say a word. These studios take advantage of these guys and make them feel like they are old friends. Then they come back and repeatedly thank them for inviting them and then sound like salesman.
Kinda Funny is full of hypocritical POS. They sent their own friend and owner to the gulag over a harmless dad joke but then had Adam Sessler on who has said some truly horrific shit. They're extreme far left and think they're better then everybody who doesn't think like them. They live in a bubble and it was popped badly this election year

Weird how most other previews agree and have a similar experience as the Kinda Funny crew. Forbes enjoying it, Kotaku's headline literally is "6 hours with Avowed and I'm already thinking it's one of 2025's best games" , Force Gaming got to play 20 hours of it said it's incredibly jam paclked of an experience, Gamespot coverage was positive, Gamesradar is positive, IGN very positive, Gizmodo positive, PC gamer positive, Engadget loves it and even says it feels like a classic Obsidian fantasy game, but with the triple A budget (which they have never been afforded until now). Let's stop the cap my friend - It's quite clear you either didn't even see any such thing that you are claiming, or you literally saw the single preview coverage that was less positive and ran with it lol
Just because this a fantasy setting doesn't make it anything like The Elder Scrolls, Obsidian's games play nothing like Bethesda games. This is the equivalent to calling a difficult game "The Dark Souls of". If you can't make a proper comparison then just don't make one.

I was never able to get into Pillars, it just felt so rough and outdated even when it was new. Obsidian has never been a great world builder in my eyes either. I'm glad I have game pass to give this game a chance

Yes. Good show !
Barrett is 100% right about AC: Syndicate. It's the best made "old school" non rpg AC game made so far. I'm hoping I can find the dlc on sale
Can you play it with the hud and markers turned off? That was my favorite part about the first game.
Nah that's crazy when we have AC2 trilogy.
they were right, this game seams tailor made for me, god himself could release a game on same day as Avowed, and i would choose Avowed EVERY single time
Best way to start Friday from the 🇬🇧
Same here 🎉
So happy to hear Avowed is shaping up to be a great RPG, I want Obsidian to make more games like Pentiment, and if the good writing is there, I'll be there.
Take a drink every time Bless says “from the get-go” lol. Glad to hear the game is fun. Hope they stick the landing.
Or “oh man”
Blessing is a known abused of words. “Let’s go” or “quote” but the latter is bc KF does way too many article readings

Same, though I think the change was largely because of where in Aora they chose to set the game.

@@boo2192 it's a slow immersive game. It's not meant to be fast paced. I get how it's not for everyone. I personally really enjoy it
The Outer Worlds had the power of PS behind them on launch day which is NOT the case here with Avowed when it comes down to sales. 🤷♂
I have played both pillars games and would recommend everyone to go play them
What is Parris talking about at the end? We know what Avowed was going to be when it was announced.
Ohhh this is a lineup
I like kinda funny and I'm glad this game is popping but can we just get someone who played pillars of eternity to talk about the game
Very interested in this!! Also what is the backing music for the Visual Triangle ad?
the disrespect to kdc 2. is released on febraury also guys
I'm 1 minute in so my early prediction is that Blessing has 20 things to nit pick and "concerns" but "really enjoyed it"
I was wrong, love to see it.
need to replay outer worlds after watching this

Have these guys not played dragon age origins?
I'm so sick of games without voice acting for the main character. Interest dropped a lot as soon as I heard that
I feel the exact opposite. At least with large rpgs the voiced protagonist makes the game feel impersonal to me. Like I am a spectator.
Greg, I think you have trypophobia.

Can we stop calling it "early access"? The full game is available for purchase. That's the release date. The later "release" is now "late access."
Will that help you sleep? What does it change for you if people stop calling it early access? I'm sure your life will be immediately better if the irrelevant term changes.
