this game rules, but also, it's so nice having a game we are almost ALL playing at work? I don't think its happened the whole time we've been at aftermath, you almost forget how much more you can enjoy a game when everyone you talk to about it is also PSYCHED - ThreadSky

Aftermath has the best vibes, so happy to hear! Got the early access pre-order, binged it all birthday week falling in love, and have been caught so off guard by the generally lukewarm reception I keep encountering outside of y'all

anyone who doesnt enjoy sprinting around murdering mushrooms and stealing everyone's stuff with zero consequences and witnessing beautiful sunsets simply hates the medium of video games

Luke, you don't know this, but you guys are currently my secret comfort corner of the internet, everyday I play a little of Avowed and then open aftermath to read an awesome article about it because I saw that everyone of you guys were playing it ❤️

Best way to play a game. Last time it happened with my whole friend group was with Skyrim

really interested in seeing your covering of it, I feel like Outer Worlds didn't get much press time, Obsidian deserves this win

I've had one amusing glitch that was not disruptive or game breaking (exploring rooftops in the slums, Kai followed me on a jump and ended up hovering in place - it was hilarious). Otherwise running perfectly.

we are five people with VERY different video game tastes, which is why this almost never happens, but then...you make a game with lizard garrus and beautiful mushroom sunsets and WIZARD GUNS, you are casting a very wide net

Ngl I thought I might be burned out on big ass video games like this but this game is special

I think what helps is that it ejects most of the tedious crap in the genre alongside being structured to make it easy to pick up for a 30'ish minutes at a time, do something, and then put it back down. For example, weight is still important, but only equipment counts towards it and is easy to manage

I fully intended to use magic, but i fell into the rhythms of sword-and-board/arquebus and I'm really enjoying it. Arquebus headshots from stealth are VERY satisfying.

named my weirdo Joseph Jostar since i’m tracking through the anime, and what a pleasant surprise avowed lets me pummel and magic dudes exactly like jojo. fucking rocks.
