Favorite part of playing Avowed for me was realizing that no NPCs are programmed to wander around the town AT ALL

So much coping in the comments and replies.
"Why are you comparing this first-person open world action rpg to another first-person open-world action rpg?! They're completely different games!"
No one said Avowed is a βSkyrim Killerβ

How are you liking the 5080?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
way better than i expected based on reviews and reddit comments but im coming from a 980ti that died 3 years ago plus 770 to bridge me. Pretty much every game ive played maxes out my 4k 240hz monitors except cyberpunk which still gets like 90 fps at 4k with ray tracing. I thought i needed a 5090 but clearly i do not.
outer worlds
dota 2
sc 2
spiderman remastered
halo infinite
doom 4
doom eternal
lorerim (skyrim)
are the most graphically intensive games ive tried so far and they all maxed out

I feel lile modern sci-fi and fantasy have this weird distinct pink/rainbowey aesthetic that just pops out in anything they create and just makes it feel very fake. I can't really explain it but once you see it you start seeing it everywhere, it's like

I call it the critical role effect after the podcast that got a million women, theater kids and lgbt nerds into DnD
Tbh I hate it mostly because I'm tired of it. One game with a magenta color scheme might be a change of pace but now it's every game and franchise

I hate it, everything has these bright neon colors that make it look like hero shooter and gacha hybrid.
There has to be something in-between desaturated brown filter and a child's crayon drawing for video game aesthetics.

i guess that's on top of 75gb as shipped. memory bloat has gotten so bad with modern games
idk if mfers are bad coders or what because i can't even tell what we're getting in return for all that space anymore
for context, skyrim anniversary edition is 12 gigs total

Its a 66gb update but its not adding 66gb to the game dumb-dumb. Its obviously a case where for some reason you need to redownload a bunch of shit that isn't being changed.

Oblivion was in a league of its own. I was blown away that I could steal whatever pots and pans I wanted and pawn them off. Being able to walk to any visible place far off in the distance was a first for me too on console. I don't know why we regressed so much.
