No. I asked you a question, if you're just listening to rage-baiters, solely due to the way you presented your first post.

Also, I didn't call the Youtubers you're listening to, bigots...I just said rage-baiters...You added the bigots. I said some Steam reviewers are bigots though, Lmao. I wasn't the first to point that out though, I think Criss mentioned how some of the reviews on Steam were just crying about pronouns, less than 1 hour, review and refund type bullshit which makes the 80% even more impressive.

The only sources I saw you reference were ResetEra which I ignore on reflex and steam reviews for a game that's been out proper for not even two whole days.

Of course I only bothered to use some reviews I found on YouTube for now because they're the only ones who actually played through the game. Outside of that the only reference is my own honest experience.

It's not like I came here to make a professional critique. I figured I was just pointing out the obvious situation that's unfolding right now. But most people here don't agree with it. So when it turns out to be a failure in 'hindsight' and Fable doesn't learn from it's mistakes, I wonder who we can blame at that point, since we can't even agree with what's truly a failure right now.

What's so hard about leaving your thoughts on a game without it becoming a commentary about why your opinion is the correct one. It's maddening.

I assumed you thought everyone who was negative about this game was a bigot in some way. That's my fault for misunderstanding and conflating. You still shouldn't use the word 'bigot' so freely. Not because it's offensive but because it's a lazy criticism to make of people you just don't agree with. Most of those people are probably flat out trolls or bots to begin with. Saying they're bigots when they haven't actually offered any genuine feedback just reflects poorly on you, because you're actually taking them seriously.

The game is not going to do well despite what kind of player count numbers they use to try and hide it. That has nothing to do with my opinion, the writing is on the wall. You can choose to not see it or stubbornly disagree with me, that's your perogative. But that has nothing to do with my opinion on the game.

The fact that Veilguard and Avowed have dragged down the quality of once beloved RPG franchises, that Fable could easily be following in their footsteps is what concerns me on a personal level.

I've mentioned this in the main PC thread, but I will mention it here since I have been monitoring this thread for the past week.

I strongly feel that this site is falling into the Steam forum's little pitfall trap (And I know full well Steam forums are a cesspool of bots, award junkies and warring idiots), where people end up putting far more gambit and focus on Steam's fluctuating CCU data, and also acting as if it is hard sales data.

The problem with this type of focus, is that the data isn't entirely accurate 100% of the time, plus it does not account for total sales, and who has the game installed, who has yet to boot it up, and who has even finished the game vs who has just started playing it (for SP games, expect CCU data to steadily drop over time from it's all time peak range, MP games are expected to rise due to content drops and balance changes made over the following months/years).

I also feel like Steam's CCU data itself is being used for favouritism and rock tossing around multiple ecosystems (I have seen videos listing posts made by Sony fans calling Xbox games "dead" via Steam CCU data and the opposite in return as one such example, and then of course this site, where I had a debate with Killer7, and Steam CCU data was instantly brought up as if it was sales data for the first Spider-man release on Steam).

I Strongly suggest we on this site not cling so hard onto Steam's CCU data, because it's not 100% reliable, and tends to fluctuate often. People still to this day monitor CCU data for SP games, especially when that makes no sense, because people tend to play and finish an SP game and put it down to play another game, thus those numbers will dwindle a little, but by no means does that make that a "dead game" factor. 

I just feel like some folks on the net are using half the data as if it is hard data, especially with the lacking data from the other ecosystems, which heavily rely on devs and the publishers to eventually come out with said sales data at a later date (or within the first month/2 weeks at best). 

As a last note, shikamaru317 stated that Avowed is the #1 top seller, but that was the other day, today the top seller is MH Wilds:

Just to be clear I am not against Avowed, it is not the game for me at all, but I just wanted to bring up the whole Steam CCU data focus this community on this site is recently peering into.

You are right, It is a fact that I agree with you on, a lot of people are saying try Avowed on gamepass while those same reviewers are not saying try Kingdom come Deliverance II on gamepass but it is kind of similar....going trough the commetns on Steam/Youtube/tiktok/Pinksky or whatever plenty will say Kingdom Deliverance II is not for everyone and try it for you buy it.  'Combat can be a pain'  'game is very slow' 'can feel very Intimidating' comments are not rare..

Gameranx from the before you buy literally used the phrase 'Yes it is not for everyone'

Disagree, I enjoy the game, I also think it is interesting and the world will likely stick with me, it makes me almost want to play Pillars of Eternity 1/2 because I'm loving the lore but I dislike those types of videogames, instead I'll likely go on a lore deep-dive on Wiki, Lol. You're plucking your assumptions out of thin air because you're sucked up in negativity.

Anyway, I saw plenty of people on ResetEra telling people to dip into the early access because they were loving it instead of simply waiting for it to become "free" on Game Pass. Thousands of people dipped into the early access on Steam for $90 which was a complete rip-off low-key and I would not have paid $90 at all for 5 days early and a few free skins and yet during early access period, Avowed had over 80% in user rating on Steam, implying people were happy with their decision to be ripped off, Lmao.

I would absolutely recommend Avowed but why the hell would I recommend anyone who has access to Game Pass to buy the game? Makes no sense. If someone has Steam only then sure, I'd recommend to buy it, as would many others, Lol. Part of the reasons I even dipped into early access was because of the very positive impressions on ResetEra tipping me over.

This feels like a dig at the thread as a whole, that we are just fanboys seeing whatever we want, and only your opinion is true, I've provided just as much, if not more, counter to your argument in this thread. I ain't lying to myself about anything, the fact that you believe that and it upsets you so much, makes me believe you just want to wallow in negativity.

No game should be for everyone. What's important is that Kingdom Come is at least aimed at the audience that pays for it's development.

Who is Avowed for? People that are Game Pass lifers and will try everything available on the sub if it's notable enough? How many people would recommend outright buying the game if it wasn't on Game Pass? Who would you even recommend it to?
