    If you’re gonna make an open world first person fantasy game, it’s gonna get compared to Skyrim no matter who you are

      I always felt like Skyrim was… fine. People lost their minds about it but I never thought it was actually that good.

        I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.

        Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don’t think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they’re are other games.

      I would say the same of Tainted Grail, honestly. That game’s combat honestly clicks pretty well imo. The two-handing in that game is fantastic.

    Skyrim is an awful game, I hope Avowed will become it’s own thing instead of being compared to that garbage game

      “awful game” what is with this rhetoric that people no longer have an in between? A game is either a masterpiece or “awful” these days, why?? Why can’t a game just be fine or good but not great? Why must things be one extreme or another? Saying Skyrim is “awful” just makes you sound stupid honestly

          its so terrible that every single game reviewer gave it near perfect or perfect scores. like the one japanese game reviewing magazine that gave skyrim the first ever perfect score for a western game

            I thought the combat, leveling, story, stability, and scaling were all kind of medicore to bad.

          I mean I hated elder rings and I thought it was trash, but I know there’s no way that a game that popular is terrible, so I say “it’s not for me”. If you want to live in a stupid world without nuance, have at it.

      I dropped it after the first planet, it just never really clicked. I’m hoping Avowed doesn’t give me the same reaction.

      which was like fallout which is already sci-fi skyrim, but with characters and plot inspired by firefly to add that teaspoon of space cowboy to make the medicine go down or something

    I’m gonna compare it to garbage if the rumors of the shitty port job hold true…

          So get it on PC. That’s where I’ll be playing it. Early reports from games media I follow have already said they played it on PC at higher than 30 FPS.

              I didn’t disagree with you on what they said they were targeting, so I’m not sure why you phrased that way. It’s not lazy; it’s a trade off that you disagree with, but it happens every console generation like clockwork. You can push graphical effects on any machine until it hits 30 FPS, and this is where they ended up on this set of hardware.

                Sorry for the confusion, my response was based on your information from social media reviews. I’m working on finding the exact article I’m referring to.

    I’m pretty sure Microsoft invited the comparison by letting people believe this would be “their Elder Scrolls” before they just bought Elder Scrolls.
