Everything is getting a delay window nowadays

Looks so bad. And boring. And they aren't flexing with rewards for no reason in the beginning. They don't have anything else to show.

meh...

its a strategy. its not actually delayed, they make it delayed to create a hype and see if people will like it. if not, they can say its canceled. companies are so afraid to risk it, thats why there are ton of crap lately. by lately i mean in last 20 years.

Looks slightly better than Skyrim combat, but that's not saying much. First-person melee combat in general is really hard to make exciting unless it leans more toward shooter pacing.

 

[RedColoredStars]

Looks like a complete crap-fest.

 

[subcon959]

Hmm, this plays like a slow, shitty version of Immortals of Aveum.

So glad this is on GamPass, with this Devs history, I wouldn't want to stump up cash

Yay. To add to the already weak catalog of games on Game Pass that people don't play.

Ah yes, the very troubled history of Obsidian Entertainment with such horrific RPG bombs as "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords" , "Fallout: New Vegas", and "Pillars of Eternity".

Oh wait...

 

[pedro702]

[The Catboy]

Wow! This look generic as fuck! Gaming needs another collapse

 

[ZeroFX]

Thanks for listing.

You're aware there is also a very large list of developers/publishers who have made great games years back, but more recently...

Only worse when you consider they're now owned by Microsoft.

I'm sure everyone involved isn't really happy about being bought out either, but it feels pretty unjust considering they've made good games even fairly recently.

If they only pump out shit for the next 5 years I'll eat my shorts but it's always been very clear that a lot of the devs at Obsidian and even Bethesda do actually care about the genre. Nobody can be expected to perform well with all these insane buyouts and pressures. Not even passionate developers.
