[@AtreyusNinja]

i'm gonna play avowed 5 days before its released

[@Leardawg17]

Same deluxe edition babyyyy

[@jack1506]

I’ve been waiting for this since outer worlds came out, that game wasn’t perfect but there was a TON of good imo

[@EntrepreneurialBoost]

Definitely gonna play it on Game Pass as I love Skyrim.

[@raymcdougal420]

Already pre-installed on my Xbox gamepass ultimate 🍻

[@leocguitar]

This game will be a GOTY contender...

[@cedricbaccay633]

I hope they release a physical version ☹️

[@wyattwelton8599]

I wonder if they will address the Matt stuff, there is a large crowd that won't be buying the game because of that whole situation.

[@wyattwelton8599]

@@mathewpoole3589the senior art director at obsidian is well a unsavory guy and posted a lot of stuff online he prolly shouldn’t have. I won’t get into the details but I’m sure if you look it up online you’ll find some of it if you’re curious. The issue i have besides him is an internal email basically just told the staff to lay low and hope people forget about it so that they don’t have to address it.

This game got me to pre order it and canceled my kingdom come deliverance 2 pre order i played the first for 6 hours and its horrible not paying and playing that again this looks much better

[@mathewpoole3589]

I'm not buying until actual reviews come out. Outer Worlds made it clear that Obsidian, like CDPR, can't be trusted just because they had a smash hit in the past.

[@vintageoriginallegit]

Outer worlds was a great double A smaller scale game. Why would that make you not trust them it got great reviews from fans and critics alike.

[@mathewpoole3589]

@vintageoriginallegit the fact that most KZbin reviews were overwhelmingly positive at launch, only to be reversed around the same time as one another, means that positive reviews were most likely bought and paid for and negative reviews weren't allowed until X amount of time had passed. Just days after I finally bought the game myself, the very same channels praising the game changed their minds and pointed out just how lackluster the game actually was. The revised reviews just so happened to match my thoughts on the game: No replayability, boring story line, mediocre combat mechanics, lifeless world development. The positive user scores were because Obsidian tried to capitalise on the Bethesda hate campaign at the time by reminding everyone that the game was being made by the same developers that made everyone's "favourite" fallout game. This resulted in the game getting overwhelmingly positive user scores just to stick it to Bethesda. To this day, I can't even recommend the game even when it's on sale

[@WetWater10]

@@mathewpoole3589 Sorry, but this take is bizarre. You're waiting for reviews, but also recognize reviews were "bought and paid for" for the first game?

[@mathewpoole3589]

@WetWater10 notice how I said "actual reviews", meaning that I won't be trusting week one reviews, hell I may not even trust the first 3-6 months reviews, especially if the reviews don't match the quality of the let's plays on hand.

[@PunkRockZombie205]

Outer worlds was great, so that doesn't make any sense. But in today's climate you should never buy a game at launch. Let the real player reviews come out first and let them beta test it. Buy it a year or 2 later when all dlcs are out so you can play the full game on your playthrough fulled patched and updated

Truly, Skyrim with guns.
