Why did it flop?

Because Obsidian has never made a good game in their life, and only knows how to make redditcore trash.

>>718422186 (OP)
Unreal 5 slop.
Also not a lot of choices. The whole game felt extremely formulaic from beginning to end, there was no fun shit to exploit.

too many rpg elements

It was too hardcore RPG for modern gamers.

>pronouns

They're really gonna push this shit until people are sick of it aren't they

>>718422186 (OP)
Too generic
it ain't bad but why playing this when it's just an inferior ES with a lot less freedom of action?
>>718422491
I read it was actually well optimized

>>718422186 (OP)
Weak IP.
Iffy implemntation of that IP.
Art director hijacked any positive possible press by being a racist retard getting into dumb slapfights on twitter with Musk.
Unable to create a unique selling feature and articulate it to fans.
Early marketing fucks pointed at New Vegas and Skyrim, which was beyond scope and stupid.
Art direction insisted on horrific designs and concept for main character. Wasn't able to sell the concept.

>>718422738
No, you dumb frogposter. They are going to push it until a bigger force destroys them for it. Possibly china. Possibly lawsuits.

>>718422186 (OP)
Horrible art direction
Whatever the world of Pillars of Eternity is called is very uninteresting
Gay retardation both in and out of the game
Played and felt like a shitty ES clone, but less interactive than games made 15 years ago.
Saturated market

>>718422186 (OP)
I just wanted pillars 3. If it's not a CRPG, I don't really care.

>>718423103

Can't farm exp

You must be very proud of being a chronically online 4trooner.

Optimized sure but U5 games all have the same look and feel to them, that is slightly floaty and very much the same lighting engine. Also the default motion blur makes all games look alike too.

Also, as an aside, the world felt hyper static. You couldn't harm NPCs at all and despite there being millions of little doodas and items, virtually all of them were static objects.

>>718424052
>U5 games all have the same look and feel to them
No? They did anime games on UE5
Game only feels like what the devs want

>>718424165
FF7 Rebirth felt so much like an obvious U5 title. One of the many problems of that game was how it literally felt like a fucking asset flip, like they just imported the Cloud & Co. models into a generic U5 fantasy world preset.

>>718422186 (OP)
Nothing about it other than making a plant freak stood out. I pirated it, made it to the sandy area and felt like I had enough. I think the sweet spot price for this game is no more than 10 dollars. Anything else and you're getting scammed.

>I pirated it, made it to the sandy area and felt like I had enough
Same, except my game bugged out and I couldn't even finish it lol

>>718422186 (OP)
Theme park level design did it for me. Very artifical feeling open world

>>718424717
Yeah, I had to load an earlier save at times because side quests kept breaking and the NPCs wouldn't be where they were supposed to so be.

>>718422186 (OP)
>Why did it flop?
It flopped because it's not interesting and looks kinda gay

Because everyone looks like having some sort of horrible disease, like the pic of >>718422797

Just looking at the game gives you horrible vibes.

>>718424830
For me there was supposed to be this big siege at the end of the sand place chapter, with the army at the gates and the inquisitor making a speech. And then it bugged out and all the NPCs just stood there in silence, non-reactive. I was done by that point anyway.

>>718425710
Shameful

>>718422186 (OP)

It didn't flop. It had a very low budget and it made the amount of money it was supposed to. Nobody expected it to be as successful as Skyrim.

>>718422186 (OP)
Woke. It will never work, but I'm willing to let it fail as many times as necessary.

>>718422186 (OP)
>Why did it flop?

That one retarded woke "director" had a meltdown about how he hates gamers and told everyone who hates wokeness to NOT buy the game. He singlehandedly tanked this game.

If he kept his mouth shut, people would have bought it and enjoyed it. Funny enough, he was only a fucking art director. It was a PR disaster.

>>718422186 (OP)
Man, modern obsidian is hilarious... constantly trying to mog mediocrethesda, and coming up with...
>The outer worlds
>Avowed

It's like watching a retard kid trying to pick a fight with another who isn't even aware of its existence

>>718422186 (OP)
IT
DID
WELL
ON
GAMEPASS
YOU
FUCKING
CHUDS

because they shpuld have set this game in the world of tyranny

>>718422186 (OP)
Shallow cringy woke shit designed by women, for women, manchildren and fat fucking soi morons.

This is the game's director

got past the forgettable intro area immediately had some girl boss barking orders at me , uninstalled
shit was worse than most indie slops that charge 10 dollars

>>718422186 (OP)
You gotta quit thinking obsidian is the same. It's just a skinsuit and all the great talent left. It reminds me of years after I leave a job and hear people talking about how great where I used to work used to be and how the product fell off in recent years. It's cause all the people who cared and had soul were disillusioned and left or were forced out

>>718422491
>Unreal 5 is... Le b-
Nope.
GOTY.

I will revisit this game in 10 years after a fuckton of mods have been made, developers release modkit and AI will help me do modding to upload on nexus where autistic fucks will d/l my mods and forget to endorse it
