Avowed is getting bad reviews
I saw it coming ever since I heard about it going woke.

I've been seeing good to mixed reviews, but I still need to complete the second Pillars of Eternity before I can play Avowed.

Actually, that's called confirmation bias.
not surprising. I think people would be more forgiving if the lead dev didn't actively attack the fan base and piss away all the good will being that people at one time really liked Obsidian.

I'm not sure it went woke any more than Neil Patrick Harris went gay

But yes bad reviews

by paid woke journalist activists, not real gamers.

Forbes giving it a 90/100 says all you need to know about it's non-credibility.

Obsidian is also DMCA'ing any video/screenshot showing any bugs.

What even is the game? I heard the name but I know absolutely nothing about it.

It's a badly marketed Oblivion/Skyrim-like ARPG set in the same world as Pillars of Eternity

Edit: with the least memorable name possible. Hey marketers. Hey branding folks. Consult linguists thx xo

to be fair seems kinda blunt generic fantasy. open world fprpg. idk feels like it doesn't have taste to me.

I don't know who that is.
Didn't Avowed get a 3 month delayed? And yet they still got ass performance and game breaking bugs?

Yep! Another modern gaming industry classic! Shoutout to the beta testers. Maybe we'll get an AI written apology letter. Once again, the whole "don't preorder" crowd scores another W. Time to see how it works months later on sale :^)

uber delayed. i see it on Battlenet launcher for ages now and it's face-front in Microsoft store for at least a month now. the price for the premium edition was something that made me think that it shouldn't be that expensive to begin with.
good

You don't need to specify that the journalists aren't racist or sexist, most people aren't.
Also, isn't Forbes a business magazine? Seems a bit out of their territory.
