Wow it's like Obsidiots don't want to admit that Obsidian creates generally unlikable and unsellable games

stop posting your fucking copy pasta retard.

Oh hey it's this thread again! Thank you for reminding me what a shill infested garbage dump this place has become,
I'm gonna go do some work now and spend my time better than you do.
>>389457518
he should only stop when Obsidian stops making trash games. They have creative freedom and they decide to make the most boring world/gameplay in existence (PoE) and a game where you supposedly work for the big baddy but are forced to betray them (tyranny)
>>389457545
What a cringetastic post
Thanks Imma buy that game now OP :)
>>389457415
what do you gain from this
First shit game from Obsidian.
This is pathetic, dude.

What's Dungeon Siege 3?
How long have you been doing this now?
The earliest pasta I remember is some shit complaining about rich fantasy niggers.
I want to say it was at least a year ago?

Obsidian have creative freedom and have made PoE - the best RPG since New Vegas with amazing roleplaying depth and a deep, tactical combat system that shits on everything in the genre, including meme games like BG2 with exactly zero balance, shit encounter design and absolutely no challenge. A a bunch of random ghosts in PoE offer more challenge and require more tactical thought than any encounter in BG1-2 or any more recent game in the genre.
Also, hilarious how you present your shit, irrelevant opinion as fact, when POE was criticaly acclaimed by everyone and their dog.
>>389458829
He's been doing it since at least 6th November 2015

You mean by IGN and Polygon?
>>389459125
Nearly two years on this shit. How long did it even take for people to start noticing it?
>>389457415
>first 1h+ of game is basically a text based adventure some nerd could have build with windows text editor
gee I wonder why it didn't sell
>>389458761
The best game in a shit franchise. Dungeon Siege 1-2 are the absolute worst diablo clones ever made. I've played the first game and you LITERALLY, UNIRONICALLY spend the ENTIRE game autoattacking mobs with a warrior or ranged fighter type of character.
With DS3, Obsidian injected relatively challenging boss fights and actual roleplaying into the shit franchise, but it wasn't enough to save the franchise from being shit.
>>389459159
I mean literally everyone. There's not a single objective metric out there that says POE is not at the very least good. Not a single fucking one, it's just retards on /v/.
>>389459271
the point of dungeon siege was that you control a whole party and not just 1 char
Yeah so why is he forcing this topic? Seems fucking boring.
>>389459102
>PoE - the best RPG since New Vegas
lol kill yourself. age of decadence shits all over fucking poe
>>389459349
Even Codex has a consensus that it's an 8 out of 10.
>>389457415
Tyranny didn't flop because Obsidian
it flopped because CRPGs are a dead genre only supported by crowd funding by diehard fans
>>389459393
Hahahaha
Remind me again which Obsidian game did they blame the publishers for it being an unfinished buggy mess?
Oh that's right all of them.
>tranny
SJW the game.
>>389459413
>Even Codex
for codex baldurs gate is a 10/10 and the absolute essence of crpg
so obviously an copy of baldurs gate would do well there
>>389459371
>the point of dungeon siege was that you control a whole party
>control a whole party
You mean you directly control a single character while the rest of the AI controlled monkeys pile in with their autoattacks on whatever you're attacking. The game is dogshit, worst diablo clone ever made and this is not an exaggeration.

>>389459413
This is the most damning part. Codex is full of Obsididrones and if they gave it a 8/10 that means its like a 4/10. If I remember correctly they had multiple reviews of PoE put out because the first review wasn't glowing praise and dicksucking.
>>389459662
I'm not even an Obsidian fan, but putting Shitrock - a shitty blobber with no roleplaying above Underrail should be classified as a crime against humanity. Kill yourself.
>>389459749
Way more offensive is putting Grimoire near the top. Grimoire is a joke of a game.
>>389459679
The actually damning part is that Codex considers BG games RPGs, that's all you need to know about them to realize why most sane users quit that shithole a very long time ago and why nuDex is nothing more than a cesspit of /v/tard refugees at this point.
>>389457415
its the same thread every day, nobody care about tyranny when it was shilled here and nobody care about it now
Didn't SJWs just got a codexer writer fired from Obsidian for wrong think ?
Obsidian's gone the way of Tumblr

No
You just made that up

Damn, it's real bro-tier of him to hand out the resignation letter in advance to try to avoid the controversy. Good for him.
Still pretty dumb of him to make those comments, though. There's a reason why people tend to do them on anonymous websites where they can't easily be traced back to you.

For having a name that sounds like "Tranny" it's no wonder it didn't sell.

Nothing evil happens in this game. You can do more evil shit in Bioware games than you could do in Tranny. Total bait-and-switch marketing for boring, poorly written crap.

You know, he probably got told he had to resign, or they were going to withhold his wages/remove credits or something shitty.
Like how they "convinced" the guy who wrote the joke to "ask them to remove it"
