Obsidian seems scared people will compare Avowed to Skyrim, but it shouldn't be—the similarities are obvious, but the differences make it compelling (www.pcgamer.com)

Targeting 30 FPS doesn't mean it's a shitty port.

For console maybe...

So get it on PC. That's where I'll be playing it. Early reports from games media I follow have already said they played it on PC at higher than 30 FPS.

I'm basing my information on the developers own words...they said the target was 30fps... which is lazy in this day and age.

And of course I'll play it on PC... I'd not waste my time on console.

Get it on pc so you can play it on the deck 👌

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago

That's one option I suppose lol

I didn't disagree with you on what they said they were targeting, so I'm not sure why you phrased that way. It's not lazy; it's a trade off that you disagree with, but it happens every console generation like clockwork. You can push graphical effects on any machine until it hits 30 FPS, and this is where they ended up on this set of hardware.

Sorry for the confusion, my response was based on your information from social media reviews. I'm working on finding the exact article I'm referring to.
