Malcador Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) Same price as RoS, and is in line with the price of expansions back in the day. Adding raids, meh.

Zoraptor Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) 2 hours ago, Sarex said: You can draw some conclusions from it. One of them being that it's probably a live service game now. Supposedly one of the reasons Dreadwolf Veilguard took so long was that it was redesigned to a primarily live service/ GaaS model at one point, then redesigned back again once it became clear GaaS was an invitation to flop more than a Uruguayan striker in a world cup semi final (ie post Anthem). There are likely some terminology hold overs and the like, and it wouldn't be EA if there wasn't some nickel and diming at least. Edited June 9 by Zoraptor 1

It is as if they concluded that PoE were to complex and subtle and overcorrected by cutting all flavour out. Hopefully the game proper fares better, but so far Avowed raises more and more red flags with each reveal. They did the same thing going from POE to Deadfire.
Wormerine Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) 1 hour ago, the_dog_days said: They did the same thing going from POE to Deadfire. I can't agree. I don't think Deadfire's narrative and pivotal choice was well delivered, but there was a lot of going on in there. I don't want to judge Avowed on marketing, but it just looks so generic, and descriptive. "OOoo.. this is bad", "Ooo, but this is worse". "Ooo, this is not bad at all!". Even the short text from the original teaser has so much texture and is so much evocative than anything that the two recent trailers have delivered. But maybe it is a wider trend. I thought Outer Words marketing had the same issue "You good, bad or CRAZY!", and while overall I enjoyed the game, I did find it choices rather uninteresting. Honestly, at this point I hope Avowed is as good as Outer Worlds were. I also find it odd that Avowed doesn't have a solid release date still. Apprently still 2024, but we only have 6 months to work with. Surely, you should know when the game drops by now, unless you still doubt if it will come together in time. (though I will take delay over crunching like crazy or delivering too early). But more importantly: WHERE IS SILKSONG!!!!!!!!! Edited June 9 by Wormerine

HoonDing Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Is that the voice of Amelia Tyler at the end? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Crazy that it's years now since the last bits of information we got. Makes me wonder if the game was so crappy and unfun that they decided to rework everything.

Retrospectively I don't think any Dragon Age is particularly great and that generally Mass Effect has a stronger stable of titles, even so I don't think that porting that kind of gameplay to a more melee centric setting is going to work particularly well. Also, for a developer that pivoted to creating "cinematic experiences", it's kinda funny just how unimpressive Bioware's cinematics are.

Ah, yeah, no, I am mostly interesting in story of Avowed. I don't hope for much gameplay wise. Yeah, Deadfire had big balancing problems. DLCs were pretty good, though, I thought.
Lexx Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I just hope the game world won't feel as artificial as it did in the Outer Worlds. That was probably my biggest turnoff in the game. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
HoonDing Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Avowed does look interesting for someone who knows absolutely nothing about the setting, like me. 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
melkathi Posted June 10 Posted June 10 What's an Avowed? Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
the_dog_days Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Looks like they made all the kith basically the same size. Eora's dead to me.

I don't really get the best impression from this trailer either, even bringing back Max...and I sure wish they'd go back to something closer to the original game's art style. The stylized semi-painterly visuals of the first game make it a lot softer on the eyes compared to these newer entries. It's funny how near and dear to me the first game is, meanwhile everything else since then has just felt like a non-stop series of fumbles. Edited June 10 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Lexx Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Weren't all the other games made by different studios? Might explain why it went so... off the style. I have a little more faith in this one. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
