Like general flaws aside, MS didn't really advertise these games AT ALL. They are just dumping their games on Game Pass then act all surprised when people don't know the game is even out.
The period 2 weeks before release or so is probably the most important advertising period.

3) women talking between each other at an absolute minimum, if allowed at all

4) great main villain that chews scenery and then gets his comeuppance in a satisfying way

5) no commie talk from the npcs, not in quests, not in small talk, none whatsoever

>>732218952
Absolutely not trying to run defense for epic or the engine here, it’s definitely way worse than it should be, but it’s actually not really insanely difficult to optimize UE5 as a developer. Yeah, if you leave all the settings as default and you start making assets in the in-engine editor it will run and look like ass, but you can basically give it the lighting of a source game by just turning off dynamic, lighting and using assets with cubemaps and non-transmissive emissives. There is absolutely no part of the engine that forces you to use its goddamn awful dynamic lighting and antialiasing and color management (something not enough people talk about by the way). They’re on by default and they’re not very good, but it does take less than five minutes to replace literally all of them with legacy standards. Developers have been giving the engine a lot of flack for encouraging workflows that use these crummy resources, and as a developer, I would very much like to see these resources improved, but it’s getting to the point where people are seeing a game that looks or runs like ass and somehow attributing this to the engine instead of the people who have access to customizing the engine in any way they see fit. Watch the intro cutscene to Travis Strikes Again, a game that looks like total garbage. The intro cutscene just looks like a nicer version of killer7 on the GameCube, it’s beautiful, it’s completely running in engine, it’s not even that hard to achieve. It’s definitive proof that even a Japanese developer can just make their games look like that if they felt like it, and that they are choosing not to. I don’t think Fortnite is beautiful, but it runs on iPhones and stuff, if the engine was impossible to optimize this probably wouldn’t be the case.

This anon fails to understand that they're not given free money, they're given almost no interest loans they have to pay back, something the likes of a 1% interest but comes with some checkboxes the games have to meet.
Most of the times government money also comes with strings attached and are meant to develop the local industry, and in most cases they come with some hefty requirements so almost no one actually wanting to do a profitable business venture gets them, but leeches that want to build an studio for a podcast with less than 50 viewers get 20k out of your pocket, or a millionaire newspaper owner gets 80k to make a propaganda documentary in line with the government's idelogy.

I've been playing through Avowed and TOW2 recently because I love first-person RPGs and I was thinking today about how actually neither of these games are bad at all.

Avowed has decent combat for the first person ARPG genre, is fun to explore, and has a serviceable story
TOW2 I haven't played a ton of but I immediately liked the imsim sort of way they seem to be handling character builds where different characters have very different ways through a level.

The ire they're getting seems very unwarranted. They both seem better than TOW1 to me which was a decent-but-mostly-mediocre sort of game

Avowed was a garbage game in a stale setting with a garbage plot, boring combat, subpar writing, and a horrible art style.

No amount of marketing would have fixed it. You know what would have sold 100x more copies than any marketing push, no matter how well funded? Put a normal muscular white guy with a beard and a two handed sword on the cover and promotional material. Also add a hot blonde haired blue eyed elf girl with perky tits.
>b-but we can't do that we're in a communist death cult and have to strip all beauty from existence
I know. "Modern aesthetics" is just brutalism for vidya. They ruined the real world, now they're coming for the fake ones.

Any cope you have immediately goes out the window in the face of the fact that Pillars of Eternity sold vastly more copies and had more concurrent players. A isometric RPG with a lower budget and vastly less marketing. You know why? Because people wanted to play it.

People don't want to play Avowed. People don't want to play the Outer Wilds.

I didn't have any problems running TOW2 but I played it on playstation
Actually it did get a bit laggy when I used that gun that ricochets slime balls everywhere. Guess that's why there were no physics.

It's odd why Obsidian keeps trying. The first Pillars did well and granted it was in development in the early era of the culture wars it still did fine. Despite them removing boob plates and that limerick. This is also why we didn't get that female Magran prietess.

Then came Deadfire. Full on woke era, ugly companions, everyone is gay, game is simplified. Like seriously. Even the woke shit can be excused as "culture" but why did they redo the engine instead if iterating on what they had? It would have astronomically cut the development time. They'd have beaten Divinity Original 2's release date too meaning they'd not have done full VA.

Then we have Outer Worlds, Avowed. Like who the fuck there is pushing this shit? Is it Carrie and Kate or something? How many failures do they need?

That was probably the biggest promotion the game ever received

>>732242283
it's X now /v/ro

The autistic dialog makes the outer worlds 2 unsalvageable from a story perspective but I'll shit on the world building a bit anyways.
1.There's not enough actual diversity on the planets, I simply do not believe there would be only 2 nations between the 4 planets that make up the game. Especially if they're actually hospitable like Eden. The game should be filled with little sub factions, like various unrelated dissenters to do one time quest for so you can fuck over the monarcho-communist dictatorship without dickriding the mega corporation.

2.Scrappers have no reason to be in the game other than ripping off raiders from fallout. Drug addicts don't form militias like that and they should've a paramilitary arm of Sub Rosa instead
.
3. Why did they waste time making Sub Rose an actual faction when it has no companions, no radio, or even any contributions to the ending? That effort should've gone to making the protectorate a faction, no?
4. Marisol's companion quest and Aza's entire character feel really half baked. Stopping the other solar system threatening quest feels important enough but it's totally separate from the main plot. All we get from it is her learning to be a bit more humble. I was expecting Aza to become more than a murder hobo but then she just doesn't.

Game play wise it doesn't have nearly enough enemy verity, it sucks to both play as and play against melee, nothing's worth crafting other than health charges, items don't do enough, limiting armor to just 2 pieces was lame as fuck, weapon modding is way too limited, mountains don't appear on the map so the world isn't as open as you think, and .there aren't enough random encounters to keep the world interesting (half of them are 'oh no, yet another biologist got mauled by some alien')

Actually getting to met some of the personalities from the radio station was pretty sick tho icl.

I think there is like 4 seconds of the fake TV show she's in that has that as a rubber mask alien. Or it doesn't exist at all in game.

The DLC is actually decidedly ok/10. Better written than the first game. The fact the second is such a massive piece of shit was a shock after playing it. It's the only thing obsidian has made to C quality or above in 10 years and it was their B team at best who made it.

>>732249931
NTA but it is quite clear that Epstein/International Jewry pushed for extremes in American politics to become more all encompassing, preventing cooperation and social cohesion. Extremes on the right wing cause an extreme reaction on the left, and before you know it everyone hates eachother. Literal, actual genuine support for fucking Adolph Hitler doesn't benefit the Jews, obviously, but the social upheaval caused by it does.

>>732250501
The far right and the far left both hate the jews but the center left and center right are the jew's biggest cheerleaders. This idea that the Jews who already comfortably controlled everything needed to cause these extreme politics in safe countries the the US and UK is so ridiculous and it makes all you leftypol types seem like massive tards

>>732209640
What sales expectations? It's game pass filler? Netflix doesn't have sales targets for its movies, it's a subscription service. Obsidian is a dead company but I don't see how that really effects the business model of more content for the sake of content.

silly post, the connections are all there, guys like trump, bannon etc

not a left wing thing, i hate left wingers.

>>732250707
Oh no, I'm on the literally supporting Hitler side. Sorry for not making that clear. Yes, the left's inane tankie psychosis, troon and nigger worship also causes an extreme reaction on the right, and is vastly more corrosive to society. Happy?

>The far right and the far left both hate the jews but the center left and center right are the jew's biggest cheerleaders. This idea that the Jews who already comfortably controlled everything
There was this brief moment where a lot of people went and attacked the Jews directly. Not the Holohoax, that never happened. Occupy Wallstreet. Crazy that Epstein got into contact with moot as that was occurring, when 4chan and anonymoose we r lejun memes were going mainsteam in the news. You can tell me those fags never could have done anything and it was a joke of a protest, but the fact that Epstein and his cronies honed in on 4chan at exactly that time doesn't seem to be a coincidence. It's not a coincidence that Boris Nikolic, who put Epstein in contact with moot, directly stated in his email that he was interested in moot because "the possibility for manipulation (on 4chan) is huge." /pol/ gets created right after moot actually meets with the guy.

>>732251424
wonder if that's the real reason he sold 4chan, he knew what he'd contributed towards and felt guilty

>>732251424

Reddit though is lock stock and barrel a psyop and that isn't even news, you just pretend Maxwell wasn't the powermod of your favorite sissy hypno subreddit. But concerning occupy wallstreet and every similar disgraced habbening, it now can be viewed that every conspiracy is real and every "thing too far" was Epstein and Co. S
shutting it down. I was there when my local occupy walstreet protest got it's assigned crop of skitzo 9/11 truthers (like the one that was a gay prostitute for Paul pelosi, not the ones they discredited) and mental patients to clog up the open speaking forum.

just realized there's a non 0% chance i've called epstein a kike (or a nigger) on 4chan

the guy genuinely had the site as one of his main bookmarks

>>732209738
Anon, you might think that you're the only one who knows that game pass negatively affects sales, but that's because you're retarded. Microsoft knows that as well and that's part of their expectations. Expectations that weren't met.

>>732252204
>/new/ got killed the same day moot met with Epstein
No it didn't. It got killed earlier. /pol/ was made right after moot met with Epstein.
>"I'll shut it down if this place becomes another fucking stormfront"
You clearly weren't here because it became /stormfront/ day one, and people complaining about this directly pointed out the surest way moot could make sure it became exactly like /new/ was to say that shit, and to name it politically incorrect.

Then, it sure enough became exactly that, but wasn't shut down.
>Reddit though is lock stock and barrel a psyop and that isn't even news, you just pretend Maxwell wasn't the powermod of your favorite sissy hypno subreddit.
Of course, that one is a psyop, but 4chan can't be because it's based. Even though Epstein was posting here. Hell, I'd bet 6 million shekels that nigger is still posting here, because he sure as shit ain't dead.
>every conspiracy is real
Always have been. It's not all Epstein, frankly there are certainly numerous modern 'court jews' around the world providing their services to the wealthy and powerful. That is what Epstein was.

Epstein didn't want gentiles asking who made the FNAF porn threads while he was busy jacking off.

But this does put into question moderation choices like /k/ which was the first to map trayvons looping through the neighborhood to pound Zimmerman's head against the pavement, keep the pics of the 2 guns pulled from a car trunk in sandy hook, etc. etc. to ban discussing gun laws. There was legitimate gun control opposition forming cross-state before the stickies and shill newfags that became the ukrainewarts tourists.

Unfortunately, Obsidian cannot seem to design full 3D characters to save their lives. The environments look pretty good, but the characters always look like boring ugly ass, landing in the worst possible place where they're too realistic to have a recognizable art style, but not realistic enough to benefit from said realism.

Pillars of Eternity worked because it was just painted 2D portraits and 40px tall abstract 3D models.
