XxEvil AshxX Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Interesting, but if I can't tame and ride an ant or spider I'll be upset. I was kinda hoping for a PoE:Deadfire XBO announcement to go along with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPCyric Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Oh wow it's crazy to see Obsidian doing something like this! Looks and feels way more like something Rare would be doing. I'm not particularly interested in the genre but it's neat to see Obsidian branching out like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 That third-person is reaching for Skyrim levels of clunky. This is both surprising and disappointing seeing as how Fortnite has pretty much laid out the template for this kind of game. All they really had to do was take the next step.

XxEvil AshxX Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I've played a little bit of it, so far so good. One bit of advice though that I learned the hard way; When you get to the little domed tent and it says to interact with the computer, use it to analyze the plant fiber. That will allow you to craft Woven Fiber, which is used in practically everything. I didn't know this, used the machine to analyze a pebble and two other things, then wandered off onto the next objective. The next thing I know, I can't make any tools, bandages, etc. because I need woven fiber and I didn't have the "blueprint" to craft it. I got lost and was in pretty dire straits by the time I managed to find the dome again. It would've been pretty helpful to say "Hey, you might want to analyze X, X, and X" to get you started with the means to build basic things.

Brian Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Grounded is now the #1 best selling game in the World on Steam and the #2 most watched game on Twitch on its launch dayWhoa.

Dodger Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I've been seeing a lot of Games Pass success stories over at ERA, especially for smaller scale games. So it does seem to be beneficial for smaller devs with smaller games to get onto GP to get their game and themselves out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I can't wait to play this again, I really enjoyed the beta, but it was just 30 minutes. I know it's Early Access so hopefully its still relatively deep. I see lots of potential in this. The world is really fun to explore.

Well the service is said to be up to 12-15 million subs now, and I expect that to just continue to grow later this year with Halo. It should start to create a snowball effect, where the larger sub pool creates more success stories, and more developers wanting to get their games onto Game Pass. Thus adding more content into Game Pass, driving to more subs, and more investment into content by Microsoft. PS Now on it's own isn't a bad service at all, but for whatever reason, Sony seems okay with just giving this model away to Microosoft for now.

I could see it working well for something like Dreams. Games like The Last of Us 2 and Ghosts people are going to spend $60 on regardless. (which would be as true for Gears, Halo, Fable if they weren’t also GP) Microsoft’s better setting themselves up for games like this to succeed, no doubt. There’s still chance of a dud though.

jaethos Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The spiders in this game have taught me to fear them. They can basically one shot you and they are huge and fast. My first two deaths were from wolf spiders, two different wolf spiders. Also, the game doesn't pause when you're in the menus. Closing the map only to see an enormous spider looking down at me was one of the biggest jump scares a game has ever given me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The def star Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I saw a spider moving through the grass. Went to take a peek and it saw me. I ran away a good distance and it was still following me I managed to lose it. Also at night almost bumped into a sleeping spider.

So minor spoilers for those who haven't done one of the opening quests which is to investigate this machine in the forest Spoiler So you investigate this machine, that causes an explosion. It leads you to a secret underground lab with SURPRISE! A wisecracking robot that you seem to see in every Obsidian game. Anyway, the robot's name is BURG.L and he enjoys "Grilling and cooking" and if you talk to him he says he only cooks it medium or medium rare and if you say well done, well I forget the direct quote but basically he says he'll fuck you up if you want a well done burger.

TheLeon Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Will I ever get a tutorial message other than the one about blocking? That one might as well be on the screen permanently. It started flashing for me before I even had a weapon to equip, and now that I’ve got some weapons and have performed some “perfect blocks”, it still pops up whenever an enemy is close.
