Immense pressure on Starfield to be first class 10/10 GOTY out the door, day one review day now.
Let's be honest, it ain't gonna be that way.
Redfall is a Prime Example of a Good enough for Xbox Game Pass Title.
There fixed the title for you.
If everyone can just keep waiting...just a bit longer... keep waiting please!!
The timeline was the deadline for gold date I would say.
Thinking about this statement, is Spencer really trying to tell us that on Redfall release day, the champagne corks were popping in preparation for all the 9's & 10's that the mock review team has predicted would fill up Metacritic?
Then as the mediocre scores dribble in, looks of suprise and shock cross the faces of the launch team, not being able to comprehend why no one is announcing Redfall as GOTY material.
Seriously?
Setting the bar nice and low there uncle Phil.
"I want us to maintain third place, lets go for bronze everybody!"
Not a good day to be an Xbox fanboy when the illustrious leader says they are happy be bottom.
Great example of hubris!!!
I guess the 'review' team are probably a bunch of 'Yes men' or wouldn't dare say anything that goes against the grain in case they upset the management.
Xbox apologists starting again, shame they can't call a spade a spade and demand better, rather then
"Good enough for Gamepass"
"Good enough for Gamepass"
The new tagline for every Xbox exclusive going forward.
Do I sense a new meme forming?
Another turd that MS is promising to polish down the road a bit (no glitter left to roll it in).
Shuhei Yoshida, much like Mark Cerny, is a true gamer.
That's why having people like this in charge at Playstation is why it remains to be such a great gaming platform.
They just 'get it'.
I'm kind of thinking that after the CMA ruling they saw the true prize MS was after regarding Cloud gaming services, and that the whole CoD thing was a smokescreen.
I wish I did have the cash to fork out for a high powered PC rig, but with this and other similar stories, it just puts me right off it.
Last thing I want to do with a new game is spend hours tweaking settings to try to get the best out of an already shoddy port.
Saying that, it would be disingenuous of me to imply that all console releases are perfect on day 1, but currently it does seem that PC versions are getting the rough end of the stick at the moment.
Amusing that for so long people were saying Sony needed to catch up with Gamepass, and now they have with their 3 tier sub scheme it's all over and not the future after all.
Roll up! Roll up!!!
10 year deals here, anyone want a 10 year deal!!!
You, my lad, would you like a 10 year deal? Of course you would, here you go sonny!
And you madame, 10 year deal? Right away my darling, here you are!!
Anyone want a 10 year deal, 10 years right here to anyone and all EXCEPT SONY!!!
(Uncle Phil Spencer at is street corner stand).
It's a disaster!!
And also how embarrassing for MS.
Red faces around Redmond once more.
The file size has put you off??
What an idiot!!! I wonder where the line is drawn, 140GB, 147GB maybe.
Plonker!

We can tell as the Goebbels level of MS flag waving given is identical.
"this decision appears to reflect a flawed understanding of this market and the way the relevant cloud technology actually works."
Actually they saw through the MS smokescreen about consoles and CoD, and actually recognised the real future prize that MS wanted to secure regarding Cloud.
CMA ain't stupid you know.
A remake of Psi-5 Trading Company please!
In much the same way that low budget bad films were 'straight to video', we now have the concept of 'straight to streaming' in which we can see the same formulaic rubbish films appearing on Netflix, AppleTV etc.
Following from that, we know have 'Gamepass Day One!', which was considered a highlight of being a subscriber until it's become apparent that day one games are typically lightweight rubbish shovelware.
'Straight to Gamepass&#...
