The gameplay looks good, but the trailer was awful. Really terrible acting
Drone + shoulder-mounted gun, that's "my dream come true", the only missing feature would be jetpacks but I'm not gonna complain
I haven't been hyped over a game since Fallout 4, but this is a three-way mix of three things I love and I can barely sit still right now.
The trailer was actually pretty bad but the gameplay at the end seems like it could be interesting.
If this would play co op, even if it's a player taking over a companion during mission, I'd be totally bought.
That... actually looks pretty great. I love the Expanse universe. Both the books and the show were awesome and some of my favorite sci-fi of all time. I hope this turns out as great as it looks!
Is this real? Omg. I was a little disappointed with the SGF announcements so far, but this would be huge for me.
Of all the games announced recently, this is going to be the one I’m most hyped for.
"Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited."
Its not working.
Please don't fuck this up... Please don't fuck this up... Please don't fuck this up... Please don't fuck this up... Please don't fuck this up... Please don't fuck this up... Please don't fuck this up...
Owlcat usually delivers. Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Wrath of the Righteous and W40K Rogue Trader have all been hits.
Narrator: indeed, they did fuck it up
They'll hammer out the bugs in a year, two tops.
Glad I have a backlog of games, I can pick it up if and when it's good/finished
The Expanse is by far my favorite Sci-Fi universe ever. I'm not sure how it'll go for Owlcat, but damn does this make me excited.
I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.
The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.
Maybe it's just me though.
I know it's been said a thousand times, but the books really are immensely better than the show. And they have a proper ending! The last 3 unadapted books are arguably the best part of the series, and Alex is there since there was no dipshit actor to get himself fired.
TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn...
Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.
He absolutely deserved it.
He's a creep, and he also fucking stalked a friend of mine for like 2 years.
Frankly 95% of shows rush at the end and 1% stick the landing
So I guess the other 4% take their time and still fuck it up?
nah just fall somewhere in between.
the problem is there is supposed to be 3 more seasons/books to wrap up all the hanging thread, including what happened to the gate builders and the Martian rebels.
Given how good a job they did with 40K, I'm confident.
I've put about 100 hours into Pathfinder wrath of the righteous over the past couple months and I think I like it better than BG3 tbh.
They do a great job with the large scale world. I was getting ready to try 40k but I think I'm gonna wait for this.
Port que no los dos?
Cause money :(
I like money.
Had some of the details super close, then screw up others. Hopefully it's good though.
- She tips the "bulb" of drink despite having just snatched it from the float beside her (whats that gonna do?).
- The ship spins to decelerate (would have been done long before "just arriving"), then spins again under fire despite not being slow enough. It should be dodging and returning fire whilst burning to decelerate, it's why the turrets are turrets after all.
- The station is under zero or very low g - but the drone needs constant downward firing jets to hover in place?
Thanks! I had noticed only 2.
Then I told my husband about your list and he was like ”that seems like splitting hairs”. Terrible.
Thanks, seems extremely irritating for a franchise that — except for the protomolecule (and related sufficiently advanced alien shenanigans) and the Epstein drive — prides itself on its realistic physics; you've convinced me to blacklist both the game and the publisher on Steam.
Well, I'm a little bit excited
Would never have guessed Owlcat's new game would be in The Expanse universe, or that it would be an action RPG, for that matter.
I'm a huge fan of The Expanse so I'm going to check it out regardless, but I don't know how this is gonna go.
Good universe and good dev studio... Ok for once i will be vaguely and cautiously optimistic
They weren't kidding when they said "different from Pathfinder and Rogue trader". This is VERY different.
I don't care about The Expanse, but I do care about Owlcat. I'll have to keep an eye on this one.
Heavy breathing intensifies...
