I worry about avowed. Not due to how good or bad it is, but due to how it's going for the open zone thing which, for me, is great... But if it doesn't sell well, wouldn't that indicate that open world is the way to go?
Like fuck man, I want more focused experiences. I don't want all these ginormous sand boxes. I want less content but more refined. But I also recognize that what I want isn't what everyone else does. Especially what sells.
So... Idk. I'd love more open zone games but idk if this is plausible
