I’ve been playing Avowed off and on since launch, and while I’m still not crazy far in (maybe a dozen or so hours,so let’s try to keep this thread spoiler-free or spoiler-marked), I am just so impressed by how engaging and inviting to explore the world design is.

• The areas aren’t that big. It doesn’t take a half hour to walk someplace to find one destination. Instead, the world is designed as a series of paths over an “open” area, pretty reminiscent of games like Fable 2 or Kingdoms of Amalur to me in that regard. Every area is clearly designed with thought and purpose, there’s not a bunch of wasted space. Paths actually lead to destinations.

• Because the world isn’t huge, it’s dense. It seems like there’s something to discover around literally every corner.

• The game organically introduces you to quests that point you in the right direction of exploration, but each individual area is designed in a way that leads you …

People have been struggling to find a Series X to purchase in Europe, even the official Microsoft Store and every single officially supported retailer it links to is out of stock. This likely has something to do with the fact that they sold 550k units in the EU in 2023 and 290k in 2024, while both years were terrible sales 1/10th of PlayStation thats a massive drop. The console has also been out of stock for over 4 months in Czechia and India.

Xbox fans are also having difficulties finding the console in official stores in Brazil. As noted by players, of the 17 virtual stores that Microsoft indicates on its website as affiliates, none currently have the Xbox Series X model available for purchase. 2 offical stores in Brazil has confirmed that Microsoft stopped supplying Series X stock. In response to the issue in Brazil Microsoft has only stated that players will be able to continue enjoying their console in different countries and that players in Brazil will be able to play on …

YT Trailer: - https://youtu.be/251Ayg7kehA?feature=shared

You’ll explore a brutalist megastructure on a glider-disc (movement is my top priority—you can soar over obstacles, glide fast, and descend from heights). The world is nearing technological Singularity turning the story into madness and things get pretty dark and absurd: people are preparing for the apocalypse by performing self-destructive rituals, hoping to digitize themselves and live forever. But it may be a lie.

You’ll also:

• Fight with unique directional combat (LMB = left attack, RMB = right attack—no button mashing, you have to watch enemy sword positions!).
• Choose between two companions: Enris (cold on the surface) or Yui (a cute geek).
• Experience 2D segments and …

I have been debating on switching for the past few months and want to know why everyone made the decision to go PC over console. Also what’s your guys PC setup like? I am looking to spend about $1k at the absolute max for now.

A tough unluck, of course, with the ending of this eternal tournament, but nothing scary, we’ll finish it on the 4th already.
The DDoS consisted of a person spamming party invites, chats, etc., 100 times per second, and Dota was simply crashing due to the number of requests.

The number of late games he comes back without even sweat is insane.. i swear any carry who see 3 core buyback would like to get back to safety without even weighing options.. but man this raddan late game is a monster

Okay, it is a funny inside joke and all, but please. If you want this game to have some relevancy, we should cut down on obscure inside references and memes.

4 lane map meme was very funny for a while but it’s time to fucking stop. You guys are taking it too seriously. This game has always been a 3 lane moba because 3 lanes just fucking work! There was never a 4 lane map, there is no “phase when the game had solo lanes”, and the effort you guys are putting into deepfakes of what it would look like is astounding, but also gross.

This could really fix a lot of problems with the game I think

Every character in MOBAs and hero shooters attracts certain types of people with certain characteristics, resulting in stereotypes for that community of players. So, how would you describe the typical Mo & Krill player? And what are their stereotypes?
