This may be the game that finally gets me to buy an Xbox for the first time since the 360 era. Loved the CRPGs in this world, this should also be great
 
Out in less than 2 weeks and confirmed you can hit 60 fps on Series X.

Sad that’s never a guarantee these days but at least they delayed to make it possible.
 
The game director recently came out and stated that players should expect bugs/jank in the game. Gotta wonder how buggy the game actually is for the game director to openly acknowledge this right before launch. Regardless, not at all a fan that those across the gaming industry are trying to normalize and force gamers to accept bugs and jank in their games.

I was really excited for this game when it was announced and the initial reveals, but the more recent news on it has me fairly worried. Obviously folks can do what they want, but I recommend people to hold off on buying this game until the reviews come out. Hope Im wrong but this reeks of another failure similar to Dragon Age.

Yea it’s all over the place. The Giant Bomb folks love it. Not buying early access but definitely checking it out next week.

What’s the difference between OpenCritic and Metacritic? They usually have different scores but I’ve never looked into it.
 
Watched a decent bit of gameplay on Twitch, and I think I'm sold on it now. The few that I watched all seemed to say they were hooked and didn't want to stop.
 
I’m about 4 hours in and really enjoying it. Definitely doesn’t seem like a 10/10 experience and we’ll see how it ages but so far, so good. There’s a lot of variety in the combat in terms of how you want to play.

The fact that enemies don’t respawn is a little annoying. Makes the world seem empty if you’re backtracking.
 
Played about 9 hours and I like it a bit better than Outer Worlds so far. Combat and visuals are much improved but I dislike the changes made to the leveling system and the typical UE5 issues are there (though not nearly as bad as some titles I've played recently like Hogwarts and Silent Hill 2). Looking forward to playing more

I hit 11 hours and I’m loving it. Also more interested in it than Outer Worlds, which I fell off of after 10 hours. Haven’t run into any of the issues reviewers had of being underpowered in battles. Wonder how much having to rush through it for a review plays into that, but I’ve also been searching everywhere. The zones aren’t big but they feel handcrafted because there’s typically something around every corner (or on a roof).

Magic combat is a lot of fun.

Also, Obsidian made Pentiment and Grounded, both of which are great games.
