"Give players' backlogs some breathing room"...

You cowards!

Seriously, just say it needs more time in the oven. Making a compelling open-world RPG takes a lot of time and effort.

The Age of Mythology remaster is now the only game on that list releasing before Avowed that I have any slight amount of interest in. Guess it's appropriate that they said, "so many games," and not, "so many great games" coming.

While more time in the oven helps most games, it's pretty common for companies to delay releases so they're not competing with themselves.
It's just usually the reasoning happens internally instead of being stated out loud.

I'm glad I can always rely on GBATemp comments on unreleased games to be unduly hostile...

Shit games are delayed all the time. That quote was said before AAA and corporate greed ruined gaming

Doesn't change the fact rushed games are shit most of the time.

In the current era, both end up being shit in the end most of the time. My point is that the quote really doesn’t mean anything these days. He said it before gaming companies went insane

This game was on nobody's radar

Good. Enough time to play through my recently bought games. And more time for visions of mana :wub:

I didn't really know about this game, so I did a quick google check, found this:

Yeah, it sounds like a AA game, and they are scaling things back compared to the other AAA games out there. Historically, Obsidian has focused on story & world setting, with good gameplay. Sadly, there is probably nobody left from the old days...this is a definite "sit back and wait & see" what the finished product is.

Which is weird, because I absolutely love first person games.

Edit: For those who want to know what was in the deleted messages below, xzi showed how deranged he is by continuing to throw the "but has wamen blek hence all games' dei" when showed dei is not this, he called the mods xP.

I asked you to elaborate on what your actual criticism of the game is, instead of hiding behind coded language. So feel free to do that. Whatever your made-up definition of DEI is, it's clearly not the standardized one.

And no, I didn't report anything in this thread. I'm skeptical of how the game might turn out as well, but traditionally I do prefer Obsidian's releases to Bethesda's, post Morrowind anyway.
