Obsidian - the most overrated gaming company ever.

[diesoon]

I tried all of their games. They suck balls. The only good thing they did is dialogue in KOTOR 2 and quest design in New Vegas. The rest of New Vegas was mediocre to bad. Everything besides quest design was way worse than Fallout 3. It's a fault of these nerds who idolized this company because it reminded them of old Fallouts, Baldurs Gate and Planescape and other 2.5D RPG's with lots of dialogue. This cost 100 million? Terrible waste of money. This is just another product. And they were NEVER good or even ambitious. Borrowing engines, lifeless static worlds, boring IP's, boring S H I T. This gets not bad reviews only because there are maybe 5 big RPG's like this in a year.

Erm, ok?

I like Pentiment, but most people are not imagninative enough to play it.

[Lord Gorzul]

That's a question of taste.
I've played all their games, outside of Avowed. And I think they are all 10/10.
With Grounded being one of the best games I ever played in my life.
Definitely top 3 ever.

Edit: Outer Worlds is probably around an 8 actually.
But Tyranny, POE 1 & 2, Pentiment, and especially Grounded are 10s imo.

You are not bashing gay bars- you are just ignoring gay bars. So why bash this ultra gay company if you are in gay things.

Oh, I though it was Bethesda, oh, isn't it Amazon GS, oh wait, isn't it Bioware? Damn, I'm sure it will be whoever releases the next game.

Good god, you called us nerds for liking the game and then wrote this nerdy rant about your nerd preferences? Give me a break, stop nerd-gating.

obsidian only used to have its writing as the main selling point of their games, they threw it out of the window when they decided to replace talented writers with woke blue hairs who have white guilt for brains

[kRIEG_elf]

bad bait or bad taste

[JacEEEBABY]

More like worst gaming company ever.

[Hardwenzen]

Disagree. They used to be great, one of my fav because they paid attention to what's very important for rpg's, which is writing. Now, well, a basement indie developer could do a better job.

Anyone that tried Fallout NV, and tells me with a straight face that it's a bad game, has no idea how to judge the quality of a title.

The current Obsidian is being transformed into RARE. Microsoft is killing the studio. Will be yet another Straight To Gamepasss shovelware studio that poops 5-7/10 titles that nobody will remember within 1 month. Its sad.
