So with all the fuzz about the KCD2 I come with some more interesting news, It seems that Avowed cannot even handle their launch better than dragon age failguard, since they have shutdown their steam forums in their entirety. (It now redirects to the store page)
Edit: It seems it back up again, no idea why it was down? Steam or Avowed? No clue, but you can now watch fire again! Thanks dbomb for noticing.
Yay! Uncanny valley characters! Skyrim combat! It’s like a gayer, diversity Skyrim!
The forums had a focus on one of the lead devs being openly anti-white to the point of admitting discrimination against white people and wanting to be replaced as he is also white. The company seem to share the view as they've remained silent
Sick fuck! Why doesn't he start by necking himself, then?
Is he White or "white"?
No clue, but either way he's a danger to everyone that's exposed to his cancerous rhetoric.
You have some serious problems when Josh Sawyer isn't the most visibly libtarded guy on your dev team.
He clearly didn't actually want to, or he would have quit. Performative at best, purposeful subversion at the usual.
Those like him see themselves as a necessary evil. The dude looks like your average soy drinking leftiest. If I was to guess, he is a true believer.
He kind of looks like a pedo for some reason but that may be my own bias towards leftiests.
Enjoy. 😂
This would have been a mediocre title in 2012. The gay troon color palette and uncanny valley aesthetics make Skyrim graphics preferable.
Sucks, the steam forums for avowed have been entertaining.
Yea, they were on fire, haha
They can do that? Holy fuck… There’s flipping the board because you lost and then there’s this. This is lighting the board on fire.
Steam should show the little flipping the table ASCII art for boards that have been shut down.
I forgot this game was a thing so had to look up a trailer.
Why does it look like a worse Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning only with slightly better graphics?
Cause when you go DIE the best you can aim for is mediocre as you guiding star.
Medeiocre
It's my absolute favorite company making this game.
When I learned about the BB (binary bullshit), I immediately lost all interest. I get it for free on gamepass (got it for like $3 per month at the time), and I dont think I'll even play it.
With characters that look like they are ripped from concord. Some lizard guy and some cat lizzard girl.
How to ensure your game bombs without openly advocating for your game to bomb.
Enjoy unemployment, you fucks. You've earned it.
"In order to combat hatred, we have removed the forums."
The artist that still works there threw the entire dev staff for the game under the bus. Lumped the people that were interested in it with horrible evil, and made absolutely sure people knew exactly where he stood on it by tripling down until he was obviously told to back off from social media, because he can't shut up.
Reminder: They've been working on this since 2019 after The Outer Worlds released. There's a lot riding on this, such as the future of Obsidian.
This isn't even getting into the shenanigans being alleged by some youtubers about how Obsidian turned to shit with him being there.
Yea, it is glorious to see how it all burns down. Obsidian is now dead, unless Microsoft will keep their corpse around.
TBH if Warhorse are not going to reverse the COC then they may as well do this too. The forums are not going to be kind to them when the heckin' respectful feminist black muzzie who is totally historically accurate to medieval Czechia turns out to be real.
Well, it will probably look a bit like how the Avowed steam forum did before they nuked them, haha
The forum is back now. No clue why.
Rejoice, now I can warm myself watching the fire again!
I'm sure they paid Sweet Baby (or its compatriots) enough money that could have gone into un-shittyfying the game to have the Journos all out going how stunning and brave this decision is.
Chuds pwnd. This, and having a blitz message from gaming journos calling them transphobes will surely save the game.
