"Good enough for game pass"

Laura brings up some excellent points

  • Obsidian shipped on time, after being acquired
  • Obsidian already has outer worlds 2 in the works
  • Obsidian gets the OW team back together

Avowed may not be a win on its own, but in the context of a MS studio it's a win, and they cleared their plate to focus on OW2.

What you are hearing is Microsoft sponsored cope. Anyone, having two neurons to rub together, who enjoyed past Obsidian games is overwhelmingly disappointed at how little interactivity the world has, how limited your interactions are and how insipid it is. If this is what gamepass is bringing to the table then it will inevitably fail because at this level of quality for first party it's competing with mobile games on a much more accessible platform.

Edited to be more precise

I've played most of Obsidian's catalog at this point, and this game rules.

Good for you I guess, i too would have preferred to enjoy it. Sadly, too blasé to enjoy effortless mediocre stuff.

"Anyone who enjoyed past Obsidian games is overwhelmingly disappointed" just isn't true, so don't speak for others.

I disagree, I've been enjoying it so far. I still think OW beats it out of the water though.
