Eh, considering the first person perspective, probably for the best. Remember the romance scenes in Cyberpunk, after all. While true, those scenes were very cringy and I had to look away sometimes đ the bloodline game will have third person in cutscenes, avowed could have done that. But I guess too much work for them đ¤Ł

Their reason for not doing romances is kinda a bigger red flag in general. Also we had obsidian devs joining the weird discussions surrounding bg3 over the summer before the game released that felt more like they were talking about themselves than Larian. And this is first person is more immersive bullshit again. If first person was truly more immersive then there would not be so many third person mods for Skyrim that essentially work for immersion. Part of the reason you need third person is to embody your character, and see them. In real life I can feel my face muscles when I talk, I can see myself in my mindâs eye, I have incredible peripheral vision and can see my body. When they do first person in games it actually feels like watching pre recorded footage from a camera sometimes and can make it harder to roleplay or get immersed. It also, coincidently, is a cost cutting warning sign. I know budgeting is essential, but with the limited character creation, no romance (which means companions might be half baked in general), the long development (this thing has been in the oven for way to long), and the bare bones combat style I think this game is a big, big red flag.
Wish it wasnât.

the marketing for this game has been so weird, like theres no unique trait about this game that makes you be like "wow I want it!" and then proceeds to say the popular things it doesnt have, "we dont have 3rd person, we dont have romances, we dont have a pacifist ending" etc what does this game have then? lool the graphics looks decent but they dont have the wooow factor like??
It's sad cause I love Eora and PoE, but getting into a 200 hours rpg without those elements is a no sadly.

It really does seem that Xbox and its many purchased companies are no longer going for excellence and just aiming for mediocrity. I can't help but wonder if part of it is the fact the games are not being sold as much as they are just being shoved out on gamepass and the devs can't possibly be getting the same kind of paycheck they used to???

I mean, the talk recently has been that they're sending Xbox exclusives, including Starfield, over to PS5, so there's definitely THINGS happening on the corporate level that are impacting how Xbox games in general are handled. So it's clear that there's SOMETHING happening that is questionable on that level.

So it's clear that there's SOMETHING happening that is questionable on that level. Yeah Avowed specifically is one of those games that was listed coming to xbox series and console/pc, now it is listed as just console/pc, the same goes for the new Fable. I do wonder if perhaps marketing for Avowed is on hold for whatever announcement is coming related to this, but either way it does seem this game was probably the most impacted in between things. On the bright side, I wouldn't mind having a chance to play starfield on PS, since my PC isn't going to run it. But I guess time will tell what happens when we get official response from Microsoft. Here's to what I refer on:
