What does Sup Forums think of Obsidian...

What does Sup Forums think of Obsidian? I don't think they've ever managed to hit the high points that Troika/Black Isle/Interplay did.

tyranny was good, poe was shite. South Park was a nice meme game.

none of these games are even close to how good New Vegas was. That game was a masterpiece.

Tyranny is trash
Pillars of Eternity is great
South Park: Stick of Truth is pretty good
Didn't play Dungeon Siege 3
Fallout: New Vegas is open world shit
Alpha Protocol is great

Looking forward to Deadfire

Eh, Tyranny was ok. New Vegas was great, Pillars of Eternity was rough at start but got good after the expansion pack. Haven't played their other games, but really I feel like their games are at least better than Troika's because they don't fucking hit god-awful lows like every Troika game does when they ran out of money, the poor bastards.

I've a feeling they're good but incredibly overrated. I like some of their games, but they also always fail to deliver.

Half their games are decent the other half are trash. They make bioware and bethesda look like amateurs

>tyranny was good, poe was shite.

It's the other way around, faglord.

>What does Sup Forums think of Obsidian?

One of the few decent RPG devs today.

Seems they've been invaded by SJWs.

CRPGs made by them seem to have that theme to them.

Tyranny was mediocre. Serviceable for one run, but not worth going back to.

tyranny and pillars both shit, tbqh. Writing quality was about the same.

>Writing quality was about the same.

The main problem with Tyranny was the writing, so no.

And it wasn't with poe?? U srs nigga?

same with poe. its trash

Neck yourself asap pleb

Why?

alpha protocol is trash

No it wasn't, the problem in PoE was the combat and story. The writing was generally fine.
In Tyranny it dropped down into garbage territory. The fucking 2 generals alone acting like fucking children was bad enough, but there's far worse shit in that game.

>alpha protocol is trash

Why does Obsidian have such a hard-on for BioWare, though?

Obsidian's first two original IPs were a Mass Effect styled game and a Baldur's Gate styled game, and inXile has been the one doing callbacks to the original Fallout games and Planescape: Torment despite Avellone and Tim Cain being at Obsidian

because Bioware used to actually be good.

>>Obsidian's first two original IPs were a Mass Effect styled gam
If you believe Mitsoda, he came up with that style of game and the dialogue wheel itself before ME1, independently of Bioware. He left Obs before finishing that game, though.

I really liked Tyranny and wish it had been longer. I also feel the time for the games DLC has long passed since it was released last year. Sequel probably never.

>story was a problem
>the writing was generally fine
???????

The DLC isn't even set after the cliffhanger ending. It's set in the middle of Act 2. I'm not replaying that shit.

Very ambitious
Not particularly talented.

In a head scratcher they are known for their writing but have let all the talented writers go.

INB4 Sawyer s good
Hope you enjoy reading about his rape fetish.

Didn't they only publish Tyranny?

>What does Sup Forums think of Obsidian?
Lately? Writing is superficial and forced. Combat encounters aren't designed very well. Atmosphere still seems to mostly be on point.

god what a faggot you are

KotOR 2 - GOAT
NWN 2 - shit
NWN 2 Storm of Zehir - didnt play
NWN 2 MotB - overrated, still good
Alpha Protocol - Great
Fallout New Vegas - GOAT
Pillars of Eternity - solid base, ended up mediocre game
Tyranny - shit

I'm hopeful for Deadfire gameplay wise, I already know it's going to be a disgrace writing wise.

The problem with PoE was that it was over written, and the lead writer himself admitted it since he hadn't written prose in a very long time and they didn't have time to do an editing pass.
The game itself in terms of story ended up better than BG.
