AVELLONES BACK BABY!

You start to see these smal chud studios that don't bow to woke and dei cancer.
We are so back!

>>713794414 (OP)
Wasnt he blacklisted?

>>713794659
He won his lawsuit against that chick that accused him of misconduct to the point she had to issue a public apology
Also no one cares or remembers anything about these me too whores anymore

>>713794659
What is that?

>>713794414 (OP)
Avellone raped and killed me in the summer of '92.

>>713794659
Blacklisted from what exactly? Getting a job?
Not like it mattered, because the two women who accused him of sexual assault admitted they lied and he successfully sued them for millions for the damage they did.

>>713794759
Doesn't matter when the cultural zeitgeist has labeled him as a sex pest.

Now what "SJW Sawyer" shit do these old age dev gonna pull now ? They're the gen that went so far one side and sank their legacy with fake empathy and inclusiveness. I hope they make more shit and sink their ship more, at this point you figure they're actually money laundering process for doing all these shit.

>implying the AAA game studios blue haired HR departments heads care about courts

It's all part of the racist misogynistic oppression system.

>>713794414 (OP)
Honestly don't even care if the game ends up sucking, this dude deserves recompense for the industries bullshit. To essentially STILL be pseudo-blacklisted after winning his lawsuit and having the original claimants ADMIT THEY WERE LYING is fucking insane, he was proven innocent and still punished.

>>713795114
Mr. ESL, It must be horrible being you. You are so angry at nothing.

>>713794951
BIG if true.

>>713795218
So what, i am me. I just drop a turn in front of you and you responded. Btw, english is my third language, i know 5 languages and 7 dialect.

>>713795351
he's right you know

It's a rare opportunity in the industry.

>>713795443
I disregard what he said, i just find F1 heavy story and F2 heavy on gameplay. I prefer 2 over 1, then tactics over both, downside of tactics is not open ended.

>>713795323
If you're including English in that list, you shouldn't.

>>713795584
Meh dun care, anon. Its 2025 now. Been here since 2007 and only the last few years i see the term "ESL", so i can assume is babbies like you who just came from plebbit or some place else.

>>713794659
He still is but that doesn't stop him from making his own shit.

>>713795710
You type like a pajeet, I doubt your slum had internet in 2007

>>713795772
You make pajeet blush if you claim everything belong to pajeet, unfortunately i am not pajeet.

>>713794414 (OP)
Oh nice more "from the creators of something decent" slop

>>713794659
The best current writer in the vidya industry (Alexis Kennedy) also got "cancelled" and he went and made his own studio with his wife. Being cancelled is a nothingburger if you are actually talented.

>>713796569
He's literally only worked on kino, summer child

>>713796859

its going to be

He's been working

>>713796859
Money laundering kino.
Stop inflating yourself, Avellone.

>bro see the problem is see, the problem like was Bethesda, they wanted us to do a 3d game when we had it all in 2d so we had to remake it so that's why new vegas is unfinished

I sincerely hope he keeps his scams going so I can laugh at faggotry retards

MAKE NEW GAMES YOU UNAMBITIOUS FUCKS

I've seen how this story goes enough times. Avellone doesn't do shit. He writes some cool stuff but he doesn't really pour his soul into these projects anymore. He's content coasting. He can prove me wrong, but until that point, I will assume otherwise.

>>713795114
Your post is barely perceptible but Sawyer just recently did Pentiment (KINO) and is working on a game with John Gonzalez, so that's the two main people responsible for New Vegas despite what Avellone revisionists will tell you. He's doing just fine.

>>713796859
LMAO

It's funny cause he's working for a guy that left David Cage because of metoo accusations.

That guy is one of the many people that have left that Quantic Dream Star Wars project into eternal vapoware. It's just David Cage trying to plug the leaks in his sinking ship.

>>713798958
'aid 'o

>>713794414 (OP)
Almost every single one for these projects with "former devs from past glories" fail miserably. Avellone is an idea guy, nothing more.

>>713794414 (OP)
So it's inspired by Disco Elysium, Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Baldur's Gate 3

>>713794759
So it is a general lack of talent that kept him unemployed.

It's ok to admit when you're wrong

Also, even in the good games here, the only one I can see where there is some incredible writing that he can be credited for is Prey.

He has a good track record and even the worst games on that list are just mediocre rather than outright bad.

I loved the story in that game; the setting was fucking kino (I'd never really heard of Numenera tabletop before). too bad it was unfinished.

>>713794759
Cancelled means guilty until proven guilty, winning a lawsuit means nothing to the mob. Lucky for him he's talented enough to "just start your own studio, chud".

>>713800634
The majority of crpgs are/feel unfinished/rushed in the last stretch of their main story, it's just something you get used to.

Wasn't he like the only one that had the balls to shit on the Fallout show for raping the lore?

you can't write a good game unless you can accept all kinds of views. hating women, chud, civilization ending racism etc.

>>713800787
Sure, but as far as I know, they literally removed a city, which was in their Kickstarter goals (or something). They managed to wrap up the story in a more or less okeish and not abrupt way, but it seems like the original script was more interesting and involved many of your companions. Oh well.

>>713801228
>civilization ending racism
More like civilization ending anti-racism

>>713794414 (OP)
Oh look, future dogshit.

>>713799398
>pentiment
More like anti-kino with all the insane historical revisionism and californianisms. It's even worse if you actually listen to Sawyer pseud-on about history on his twitter and the embarrassing lecture he held.

The thing that made the "golden age of RPGs" so good wasn't that they had good writing, it was excellent game design which also happened to sometimes have good writing.

>>713801228
Based take, honestly. You can't write compelling characters if your worldview is just a sanitized TED Talk loop with no contrast. Great writing needs conflicting ideologies, flawed people, uncomfortable truths. CRPGs used to get that. Now we get sanctified Twitter clones in fantasy hats.

It's better than PS:T. Only nostalgiafags that got blown away as teens disagree.

>>713800634
>>713803383
Is Tides really that good? It felt like the reception was pretty mixed/lukewarm so I never looked into it, despite loving the original

>Good is good but actually sometimes REALLY bad
>Bad is bad, but bad because you misunderstood them or because they had no other choice

This is literally close to life then as most of what we consider "good" is typically very successful bad people who killed the other guys and we grow up in the wake of their victory. And bad people having very specific reasoning or sometimes morally justifiable motives usually enforces the antagonism we should normally face from an enemy force, it just means a different perspective on things not of our own control.

There is nothing wrong with any of it, just don't let it get in the way to the player.

Do you think avellone has become somewhat right leaning after he was dragged through the mud by his leftist friends and industry?

>>713803695
I'm a sucker for world building and found the world building in Numenera a lot more interesting than the one in PS:T with how it tied in to the central plot. A lot of the criticism I have seen has been that it's too wordy, but if you enjoyed PS:T, I doubt that should be much of an issue for you.

t. faggot who thinks medieval bohemia was being visited by black christian far north of the farthest north point they ever travelled to (source for this being a baptist historical revisionist christian university in the US), that gypsies are bollywood caricatures whose beliefs were like cathars (and not the reality of "we're allowed to steal from gadjos because we stole the nails on the cross"), feminist nuns several hundred years and thousand of miles away from when they first came about, faggot monks in one of the most regimented and scrutinized lifestyles of the period, medieval christians asking jews for an apology for saying grace to God before a meal among many other retarded scenes.
It's some of the most retarded pop-historical california-americanized horseshit ever shat out of that godforsaken hellhole.
Sawyer also thinks using anecdotes of a single case of an adulterer living under identity theft, which scandalized all of Europe at the time, means actually they were all fine with adultery and identity theft. A genuine brainlet midwit who can't handle primary sources to save his life.

To add also, he basically lifted heavily from Name of the Rose too. It's basically him trying to ape Ecco which in itself is probably one of the most pathetic things I can think of.

>>713803695
I think it deserves some criticism it received; combat is kind of bad (can't say much about it since I talked my way through the game), once you figure out how different checks work, it's hard to fail them; pacing in some parts of the game felt a bit off; and voice acting at the time I thought was pretty good, but now I think it could have been better.

The game has a crazy setting, which I really liked, and at first you can barely understand what's going on. The novelty and absolute craziness of your surroundings contributed to the story and worldbuilding. Many smaller stories that seemed unrelated at first gradually got some vague connection to each other. And the more you play the game, the more these small pieces of the puzzle are coming together to reveal another level of the main story, which I must admit was done quite masterfully. (At least I thought so at the time, as far as I remember.)
