Seems like an AA game than an AAA game, which is why I'll end up getting it, to be honest.
But for now, I'm playing another good AA game called Dynasty Warriors Origins and probably Silent Hill 2 Remake soon (so both concurrently).
Ugh, I wish I had the time for more g*ming, but alas, no dice.
Obsidian is an AA studio.
They used to be indie and produce masterpiece games that didn't get sold because they didn't have mass appeal. Both Pillars game are awesome - it's kinda sad that they now do 3d games with minimal deepness - and i'm not saying Avowed and The Outer World are not awesome in some ways, just that they lack the little something both pillars had.
But they're totally fine with charging $70 for their "AA" game, Jesus. I will admit I don't know much about Avowed in particular but as someone who's played Pillars and Deadfire, seeing this release and the response be either mixed/negative or just obsidian fans downplaying it's shortcomings as "AA" is really irritating. They shouldn't charge this much after developing it for so many years only to put out a low quality title.
Well, to be fair, they sold out since a while a back.
"At that time where our finances had become healthy again, I brought up that since we had the means to do so, we should pay back the employees who gave up their paychecks to keep us going. That comment was met with silence by all the owners."
They are not in there for art anymore. Money's the game now ...
