Xbox Official Xbox thread

Is there no official Avowed thread? The game releases 2/17 on PlayStation. Not going to buy it at launch but maybe during a time when there’s not much else out I’ll pick up on discount. For those who played did you enjoy it?
It's pretty mid. It gives off a good first impression, as the combat feels good(I think it's the best first person combat of these types of games. They really nailed that aspect) and the graphics can be really good at times, as the world has some great environments. Dialogue and choices are not so bad either. However, it runs out of tricks fairly early and you start to notice it's shortcomings, like repeating side mission types, and a general "meh" feeling to it all. Once you get to the second zone, you've basically seen all it has to offer, and then start to notice how dumb some things are, like it's absolutely retarded gear upgrade system, that will leave you scratching your head as to why your fancy new mace or wand isn't doing much of anything to make you feel like you're finding new gear. That aspect alone, is one of it's biggest downfalls.

If you're gonna dive in, I suggest you get acquainted with it's rather stupid gear system beforehand. Otherwise, it'll hit you out of nowhere, and the game will seem needlessly difficult, because every enemy will start to feel like a sponge.

Worth a look, though.
