One can no longer dispute Obsidian’s success anymore.
I’m going to play it, but I’m certainly not buying it for 70€.
Yea this game is a 3+ years down the road for me kinda game. I also want to play the pillars games first even if I don’t HAVE to.
I expect Avowed to be a worse game than PoE 2 for my taste, which is one of my favourite games of all time! Definitely worth playing those, especially since Avowed is set only a few years after PoE 2.
I was really scratching my head trying to figure out how Avowed and Path of Exile 2 are connected… 😄
It’s indeed pretty unfortunate that Path of Exile and Pillars of Eternity have the exact same initials, but I thought it’s clear in this context!
I’ve only completed the first Pillars game and it’s an ok game.
A bit linear for a crpg in my opinion, but the story is pretty good. Like, you only really have a couple of choices that have any consequenses.
So not top tier rpg, but ok. But that’s just my unsolicited two cents.
Yeah, I’ve heard it’s more oblivion than pillars. t’s not gonna be worth more than $30 if that’s true, probably closer to 50 if it’s actually a decent pillars game.
It’s pretty much impossible to replicate the tactical combat of an isometric CRPG in a first person game, so yeah, it’s definitely more similar to a Elder Scrolls. Though it looks like the combat in Avowed is at least somewhat intricate and entertaining, a low bar that Elder Scrolls games keep missing.
There’s been quite a few titles that launched as “#1 Seller” that underperformed lately.
So yeah, I’ll happily dispute this as a sign of success.
Yeah, the game has around 15k concurrent players on steam as of now.
Definitely not a strong start. For context, it has the same concurrent players of The Elder Scrolls Online, a 10+ Years old live service
We’ll no doubt see that number jump a bit over the weekend, but atm it’s anyones guess if it will do well or not.
So I wouldn’t crack any party poppers just yet.
It’s now Sunday and the number only “jumped” with 1000 players from release to now.
I honestly thought it would be more. But it looks like it isn’t gonna cross the 20.000 mark.
In the US and Worldwide
The US isn’t part of “worldwide”?
Edit: OK, it’s a microsoft game. Pack it up. Fuck that shit.
I don’t know how Steam tracks their numbers, but if they split domestic and international sales it’s possible that the US isn’t part of “worldwide” in this context.
But even if it is, something can be the #1 seller in one but not the other, so “both” is noteworthy.
Skyrim is still much better with a lot of attentions on details. So yeah, this game will either die in few weeks or will need a big discount.
Be fair. Skyrim without mods is a horribly boring bug-fest of yesteryear. But with mods (and a lot of work putting into modding it correctly and WORKING) you’re right.
Dunno, even without mods it took hundreds of hours of my life, but yeah, bethesda games are buggy AF.
Without mods it took a good while, true. Back when it first came out. But mods really turn this old bugger around some times and then some. And that took most of the time i’ve put into the old bugfest. Though the community fixed most of those bugs, really runs like a charm nowadays.
I still don’t get what it is?
It looks like a mix of Oblivion and like Dishonored with no explanation of it’s progression system
