Countdown shenanigans on Obsidian's homepage
I suppose there's potential, but the trailer wasn't very convincing. Looked like a generic scifi shooter with overdone Hollywood humor. We'll see how things open up.

Pre-orders when?
I'll have to see more to even think about preordering. The trailer looked like a generic shooter with overdone humor.

Countdown shenanigans on Obsidian's homepage
Cautious optimism rising. All I'm really hoping for, though, is character systems, reactivity and interactivity worth a damn. It's too rare in the mainstream market.

Free console? I'd sell it forward. Good money.

A Special Announcement From Obsidian
As far as clients go, it would be desireable for every game to be available in one place. GOG would be the best choice, being DRM free, but... it is only an annoyance having to juggle between multiple clients. There’s too many already.

A Special Announcement From Obsidian
Oh boy. I don't see much good coming out of this. Big publishers tend to shy away from systems heavy - unconventional to this day and age - RPG's. More narrative driven action shooters/slashers abound. Ergo, nothing of interest to anyone who's sick and tired of the stagnated mainstream copy of a copy of a copy offerings.

Most anticipated games .... your wishlist of games to come
I’m curious about what Tim and Leonard are up to. Cyberpunk 2077 kinda repelled me with certain (implied) design decisions, but cautiously looking at what happens... Then there’s Disco Elysium, Copper Dreams, Wasteland 3 and mild interest for Bard’s Tale 4 and Phoenix Point. Not much else in the horizon.

Chris Avellone: The Final Frontier
Yeah, so it seems. And even if there was ”something”, I don’t really have a stance either for Urquhart’n co’s alleged satanic tendencies nor MCA’s proposed betrayed, angelic honesty. A fun read, though.

Must be something like that.

Chris Avellone: The Final Frontier
Dunno, it just seemed like a bit too sudden eruption. Not too long ago he seemed to try and be a lot more careful with words.

Hah. He sounds a bit tipsy, he's been posting all night out there.

Time for Obsidian to kickstart a science-fantasy, PoE like, RPG?
You mean Disco Elysium? It’s sounds interesting and I’ll be giving it a whirl when ever it’s released. But from what I understand, it’s also the sort of... ”Terry Gilliam meets The Naked Gun” -type of game. What I’m after is a more serious type of setup (e.g. Blade Runner) also with a more traditional combat (TB) where combat is a thing (though not an RPG, the original Police Quest had a relatively nice ratio of action/combat content). Come to think of it... ”Police Quest 2050 the RPG” could actually be pretty neat.

Time for Obsidian to kickstart a science-fantasy, PoE like, RPG?
I’d much rather a near-future scifi-noir detective mystery setup grounded in reality (even if not too strictly so, at least as much that it can be relatable). With open ended, reactive, and systems heavy gameplay and narrative.
- The Outer Worlds Trademarks (Obsidian's AAA RPG?)

How about a new genre of isometric?
What do you mean by this? Non-magical non-tolkienic (any derivative, really), science fiction and stuff grounded more on reality than those kinds of fantasies.
-
How about a new genre of isometric?
I’d gladly see a non-fantasy oldschool RPG from Obsidian that was lighter on combat and mixed in puzzles and other adventure game elements. The B.A.T. series of old had some of that back in the day. It wasn’t isometric, but it was a sort of adventure RPG.

Latest Avellone DRAMA - accuses Obsidian HR of harassment, regrets signing NDA
Still going on about this sounds to me that he actually didn’t want to leave, but did so anyway.

Steam or gog
If it’s on GOG, it’ll not enter my Steam catalogue (or be used if it is there already). I only use Steam for bigger new releases that are not going to enter GOG in some time (if at all), but those are extremely rare cases these days.

Fallout 4: New Vegas
It’s far slicker as a first person shooter than New Vegas. That’s for sure. I don’t view that as a good thing, but I suppose it’s what Bethesda wanted.
-
Fallout 4: New Vegas
I’d rather had seen New Vegas converted to Wasteland 2 engine.

What are you playing right now?
So, people with XCOM 2... What the hell's in there to make it almost 60gig deal (only slightly smaller than GTA V)? I'm retired and senile before that thing's downloaded.
