The Xbox Games Showcase was a big show for Obsidian. Not only did we get the chance to announce our first of two expansions that are coming to The Outer Worlds alongside our friends at Private Division, but we also got to show off a new trailer for Grounded, which releases into Xbox Game Preview.
Avowed will be expanding on the bespoke fantasy world established in Pillars of Eternity, and which holds great promise for more in the future.
A wondrous world is hiding in the remnants of Avowed's vibrant take on medieval fantasy, but a rough demo marred PCGamesN's preview experience.
Huh? So he enjoyed it but the ending to the demo was too easy which left him disappointed. Did I understand this correctly? Had they removed or made grenades rare and limited would that made it better? Author didn't dive into the disappointment enough
Complaint over the easy difficulty it's a demo often very early stage gameplay it's meant to be easy it's also not a souls game so I think they needed to temper their expectations.
This only makes me more interested, I really don't see the appeal of overly difficult Souls like games.
They made sure journalists played on the journalist difficulty.
But seriously this is obsidian. I have little doubt it will be good....unless this is a turning point for the studio since the purchase.
It's a preview demo designed specifically for a single slice of gameplay shown to only a select few people, not a demo for the general public. Is the writer of this too young/inexperienced enough to not remember the E3 floor demos? They are literally created to show off the game but also be tuned to allow the previewer to finish no matter what, otherwise we get the stupid previews with writers saying they didn't know how to jump or shoot properly.

This studio is going to be huge. Already have a Fallout competitor in The Outer Worlds, and now Avowed looks to be the game to compete with Elder Scrolls. Sony really dropping the ball
Damn they really have an agenda against Bethesda lmao. Now a Skyrim competitor after a Fallout one.
Anyhow Obsidian makes good games, and Bethesda has gone to absolute shiet so it’s time for them to shine
The new IP somehow reminded me of Deep Down.
Obsidian is going to be one of the premiere studios for Xbox next gen.
3 games, damm, this guys are working like crazy.
