Lord Gaben will never forgive for this. It's one thing to down play achievements of Lord Phil, but Lord Gaben? Seriously?

Again, personal opinion and all. Doom Eternal it's music still plays in my head, after all this time of playing it. Not saying it deserves most awards, that would be TLOU 2 cause its made on a template that wins awards. But it and Half Life Alyx deserve some recognition. Cyberpunk winning more awards than these two is kinda wild and make me doubt credibility of GOTY awards.

Game is looking great. Remnant vibes. Will pick up on sale. Wish it was 3+ player coop and had crossplay.

I think you will burn out if you try to 100% any given area. They are filled with samey, repetitive puzzles. Best, most elaborate puzzles are obviously in kept for main story. Just explore enough to upgrade your gear, then move to main quest. But honestly, if you are not enjoying character chatter, I would suggest you drop it, cause I found it to be best part of the game. Aphrodite talks like a POS who would make fun of basically anything you do. From your clothes to hairstyle to work-out you are doing. Likewise, all other gods had distinct personalities which I enjoyed. Outside of that, game is good too but maybe I would rather play something like Assasins Creed Odeyssey.

If it's an xbox game it automatically becomes metascore 60, regardless of score it got?

He was promoting game for people to rent on his id. Said he bought it so people could rent it. Else he can get disc for free from shopkeepers who ask for a shout out on his channel. Weird to accept all this in front of his viewers.

This applies to every game ever made. Especially to Elden Ring and GOW R this year. Besides DE gameplay loop is nothing like 2016 version. HL Alyx being VR title is just pointless excuse and reduce their credibility.

Doom Eternal is best shooter ever made. Definitely deserves GOTY atleast from some outlets. Lemme show you what non sense happened in 2020. Look at Half Life Alyx.

Not talking about TGAs but in general. Where are awards for Doom Eternal, Dishonoured 2, Prey etc? It's not just about winning awards. You can be great without them as well.

They make best games out there. None of the good studios win GOTY these days. It is becoming like music industry. So much varied and creative work is being done but Taylor Swift wins those awards.

He is at game director position. These are views of entire studio, if we go by the games they make.

Director of Pentiment.

Completed in just a day ? Seems short. Anyways, can't get wrong with Deathloop. It has annoying start, but ultimately quiet enjoyable. Pentiment is more of a niche title. Writing reminds me of good HBO shows. You are in a village talking to peasants, can't get any simpler than this. But writing is so natural and enjoyable. Feels like Dev's understand their setting very well and actually been there. I am talking to everyone I can find.

Very cool.

Kinda curious how game will turn out. Gecko posted above the trailers were made as vertical slice and whole game will not be like this. It does look too good to be true IMHO.

That too is a passion project. It however is more of a AAAA than an indie.

If you know Obsidian, you will know type of games they excel at and always wanted to make. This is more of a passion project. This is what Josh Sawyer had to say in latest podcast. ""The old mentality of Publishers and Developers is generally focussed on larger investments with higher ROI (return on investment), and that's not the point in this environment, in this ecosystem." "(Game Pass) is the only way in which I conceive of (Pentiment) being viable." "For my own sake, making a game so different, I've completely shifted my thinking for (Pentiment). It is so unusual, so niche, it's for a small audience, and as long as that audience is into it, that's fine."

Where did you get this idea?

There is a thing called pacing. If I am engaged in reading a book, I don't wanna do something else. That's how good writing is in Pentiment. Similarly if I am enjoying combat encounters, walking sections just take me out of experience.

Jeez, maybe make a transportable SFF pc instead? Ridiculous pricing.

Completed Act 1. I thought game was murder mystery but there is a lot more to it than that. I did mess up investigation and I am not sure I caught the culprit. But Dev's said that was intentional.

Dude, am playing back to back games released by them. Currently playing Pentiment, I will reserve judgement till I finish it, but it's definitely going in wild direction. Pretty amazing so far.

Seems like an artistic choice /s
