XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

I wasn’t aware of this at all, jesus christ. You think you’re gonna enjoy a nice event with your kids or nephews or whatever, but you have to be on the lookout for monsters like these? What a sick world this can be.

So there’s a chance Gamescom has had this too?

I don’t recall. Truth be told, it was my first record on seeing this news from a convention. Usually it’s either bad management like line being way too unorganized and/or long, or maybe a fight, but this one tops them bar none.

Good to hear on work environment wise. What was the rumored date for Avowed again? Perhaps it’s why the date was hold until likely Gamescom as Klob hinted we will get dates for some of titles there.

We’re in August and my backlog is still climbing. I’m scared.

I’m fine with this. These guys can keep cooking.

Avowed doesn’t have an official release date beyond the leak via their site, so it really can’t be called a delay if they didn’t commit to it.

Point taken.

But I will say if it is 2025, it could be considered as such, because it could have been slated for 2024.

Yup, was thinking about this.

When was the last game Obsidian truly fumbled ? Alpha Protocol for all it’s problem was a fun game and Dungeon Siege 3 was not bad at all.

And it helps that Dragon Age is coming this year.

Btw go play Pillars of Eternity. Avowed takes place few years after PoE2.

Can’t say I’m that happy about it. I mean sure, Game Pass will have a good amount of games but personally I’ll play through the CoD story, maybe some online and that’ll be it, I don’t care for Flight Sim, Stalker 2 at the moment is still planned for late this year, but it’s definitely not a given. What else is there?

Why not have Avowed for September, Indy for October or November? Ah well.

If there’s a solid 60’ish GP titles from September to December I’m sure you’ll find something.

That’s true. And who knows what they announce at GC for Game Pass. And possibly TGS if they attend it. It’s definitely not the end of the world, but hopefully it’s January, start the year strong.

If you need a GP RPG maybe Stalker 2 would be a good alternative.

It never made sense to release it during the crowded fall release period. It makes more sense to release Q1 and face less competition

Mutliple games could be delayed the next few months and it would still be crowded, its absolutely the right move

An extra 3/4 months or whatever of polish could also do wonder for the game

Yeah, and I don’t think you want to go up against Dragon Age, so it was best to delay imo

Agreed. Xbox have taken lots of flack in this forum in the past for not staggering their releases more, so now that they are I would think people would be happy.
