15 hours is too short for a game like this

[RatherRowdyPooper]

This is The Outer Worlds all over again. Great core, ruined by small zones and a too short campaign. TOW felt like it was just getting started when it ended. Fallout style games just don't work with this formula. $70 lol Not being a total hater tho, after a few years I'll buy "the complete edition" after all the DLC drops when it actually feels a like a full game

ps sorry for clogging up your gender wars board with a game post

This game is 90 euro it mean the player will expect 90 euro of value.

If you consider how many games you can purchase with 90 euro Avowed really need to be the next Skyrim to compensate.

If the main storiline is really that short it may be a problem.

My only advice is not to preorder and wait for players review.
The price of this is playing 2 days fater the others but at least you know what you are doing.

... one and a half major releases? Two or maybe three recent Indie games?

Red dead redemption is 17 euro and probably a better game.
And a lot lot more games have similar pricing and better quality than Avowed.

How would you know if a game has better quality than Avowed? It isn't out yet.

First, RDR is 15 years old.
Second, you can't really talk about the quality of Avowed because you've only seen a fraction of it.
And finally, you're disingenuously using the Deluxe Edition price and comparing it to the marked down price of a decade old game. The game is $70 as are all other modern AAA games. Standard price.

How do you know the quality of a game that hasn't even come out yet?

If you compare it to Red Dead 2, you'll only be playing games from Rockstar and not from other companies.

TOTAL PLAYED - 118.9 hours

Are... are people playing RPGs ONE TIME and then moving on?

I completed ToW in 34 minuttes and moved on.

No, they're not playing these games at all, looking for reasons to **** on them, and then making things up to push the narrative this game that isn't out yet is bad because it's only as long as this game they've never played.

I did only get about 35 hours out of ToW. Partly because I didn't see much variety on the second playthrough and then hit a gamestopping bug they still haven't fixed.

A lot of RPG's have main quests that can be done between 5 and 15 hours. The main bulk of many an RPG is in the side content.

yep so there is no reason to buy The Outer World 2
when everyone can just buy Avowed instead.. because nobody can tell the difference

good job obsidian you're thinking like Bethesda or Ubisoft

why make a new game when you can just re-skin the old one

I thought Ubisoft would be the better example.

Playing though Ghost of Tsushima now.
That is what a Third Person or FPRPG should be.

Plenty of game time.
Plenty to explore.
Worth the money you pay for it.

filled with useless checklist crap. That game is no better than an Assassin's Creed game when it comes to garbage filler.

For those asking about the source of the 15 hour claim. Pc game quote from a interview.

Avowed is expected to be around 15 hours long for the main story alone, and up to 40 hours long for a completionist run. This estimate is based on a 2024 Game Informer interview in which game director Carrie Patel likens its scope to Obsidian sci-fi mini-epic The Outer Worlds.

“The best comparison for Avowed in terms of scope is The Outer Worlds,” Patel told the now-shuttered outlet. “Players can expect a roughly similar experience, just like The Outer Worlds, depending on what kind of difficulty they play on, and how thoroughly they explore and invest inside content, versus just sticking to the main crit path missions.”

I have to admit that reading this I decided not to buy it at release for a whopping $120 Australian. Games went from $90 to $120 in one step. Too much for me, I think I'm going to have to wait until a special. 😀
