Elder Scrolls VI is going to be rubbish, it can't not be.
AAA western game design is heading in the wrong direction.
Xbox can't manage a studio to save their lives.
BGS game's have got progressively worse since Skyrim.
BGS games are progressively stripping away RPG elements, they don't realise that their "streamlining" is actually removing a lot of depth from their games that their fanbase enjoy. The lack of stats in Star...
Release a physical copy then you lazy greedy scumbags.
Yeah yeah yeah, more gaslighting from a lazy and incompetent developer.
I'm sure a lot of hard work goes into producing games, but most big studios are managed very poorly and game design is too focused on mechanics from mobile games and MMOs that are stuffed with microtransactions.
It's not gamers fault that developers can't be arsed to innovate and just borrow old ideas.
Just look at modern skill trees for example, who notices a 10% increase...
Well it is a massive issue.
Just been reported on Eurogamer also.
People have spent their hard earned cash for a game that simply doesn't work, it's ridiculous.
Scandalous even, imagine if this happened to an Xbox exclusive, it'd be remembered until the end of time.
It's like a form of gaslighting and psychological manipulation of the customer base.
It's been happening more and more since Covid.
So many industries, not just the games industry, have sacked loads of people during Covid and have struggled to get the staff back. It's why customer service is now mostly terrible in nearly every industry, they simply haven't got the staff anymore and the ones there are over worked.
Consumer gaslighting is the next best...
Boo F'ing Hoo
What is it with developers trying to gaslight gamers now into feeling sorry for their incompetence, laziness and lack of creativity.
It's happening more and more.
If AAA development wasn't such an over bloated mess and the management were competent this wouldn't be an issue.
Scummy yes but that is how Gamepass becomes profitable.
Just imagine when COD hits GP after the Acti/Blizz buyout, they will be raking it in.
It's why Sony fought so hard to keep COD on Playstation, as they stand to miss out on billions of dollars from their share of COD mtx sales on PS.
Hey, Lamborghinis and yachts don't pay for themselves you know.
The top execs need their multi-million dollar bonuses every year, so if that means sacking hundreds of employees or ramming the games with extra charges then so be it.
How about when you equip a companion with their spacesuit, helmet and jetpack it shows them in it (in the inventory), not the player wearing what you're equipping on said companion.
Such a weird "bug", if it is a bug, or I suspect they were just too lazy to render your companion in the inventory screen.
Either way it's really annoying.
Oh, and they should make all resources weight nothing, zero, nadda. Such an awful game design decision to have w...
lol
We'll be lucky if 2 of the games you've listed are actually released in 2024.
"Phil Spencer is a true gamer and has his Xbox gamertag public to anyone to see. I can´t say the same about Jim Ryan or Hurst, so correct if I´m wrong."
I bet Phil's gamertag is just PR, in fairness he probably doesn't have the spare time to play games.
"Xbox is definitely the platform that will have the most rich and genre diverse library of first party games among any console platform."
When? Where are these games?
...
In development hell, like most of Xbox's first party games.
And how many of these will be any good?
I have zero confidence in Xbox under Phil Spencer's leadership, they can't manage a first party studio to save their lives.
Too many of their games are in development hell - Hellblade 2, Avowed, Perfect Dark, Fable, Everwild and probably a few more I can't remember off the top of my head.
If Xbox were competent we would've had Starfield and Forza last year and be looking at Hellbla...
I've played about 3 hours so far, the next Skyrim or Fallout 3 it really isn't.
Thank god I only paid £9 for a months Gamepass, was tempted to pre-order a physical copy for £60 before but so glad I didn't now.
God awful UI and inventory, mediocre combat, abysmal skill system, the game is a chore to play.
Playing on Series X and I'm sorry but I do not see why it isn't 60fps. Cyberpunk 2077 looks miles better in it 60fps mode. I'd be ...
Dragon Age Dreadful.
Looks like a dollar store souls game.
Xbox won't catch up, they're repeating the same mistakes as the XB One i.e. lack of quality AAA exclusive games to drive to your platform.
Xbox Series consoles have been out for over 2 years yet the only big AAA exclusives have been Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite. It's not enough compared to the exclusives Playstation manages to release fairly regularly.
Xbox is run by idiots and their studios are on the MS gravy train because they have deep pockets.
Vapourware.
Rare, and many other MS developers seem to be coasting on the MS gravy train.
Xbox can't manage its studios to save its life.
This game is gonna flop so hard it's not even funny.
Nintendo for me.
God of War Ragnarok is a borefest, Horizon FW was good and GT7 is probably the worst in the series.
But Kirby, Xenoblade 3 and Bayonetta 3 are all better games IMO.
"Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made"
lol, well in that case -
"Gamers say Starfield design lead is "disconnected" from what gamers actually want."
How about them apples Emil ?
