While I agree that the score is too low...they are entitled to their opinion...but the "2 months late" comment is actually backwards. I'm more willing to trust a review 2 months late than one that rushed to join the hype. This reviewer is actually more likely to have played the whole game before putting their review together...and did it with a fuller picture of the game. Like for instance, if I was reviewing UC4...the first 75% of the game I would have given it a 95/100, but ...
A bit low. 4/5 or 4.5/5 is about right. The game did gameplay really well, but story was rather worthless. Luckily this game could have had NO story and I would have enjoyed it about the same. Great first time IP, but there are a few missed opportunities I would like added to the 2nd. Like being able to ride winged bots after over-ride. I had a list before of like 5 things and now I can't even remember what they were.
Shaky? So far it's EASILY in the GOTY conversation for me...or at least I should say it has that potential. If the rest of the game stays along the same lines of what I have seen already...it's a STRONG contender.
So far the parts about Scorpio that have impressed me aren't the specs by themselves, it's all the optimization that was put into the box. It was built specifically around DX12, allowing the GPU to do things now in roughly a dozen commands what used to take 1000's of commands, how easy it is for devs to upgrade and adapt their games, how the power load of each individual Xbox is monitored and adapted to, how they had been running several extremely detailed simulations before ever...
M$ is trying to drown you because they can't deal with not having any exclusives /s The cloudz are only good for raining on you and causing floods.
....like this site?
Well you see, here on N4G, fanboys need to find ANYTHING to complain about (esp in regards to MS)....yes that even includes improvements. Certain fanboys were REALLY excited about the possibility to troll hard about a game being 480p, and that was suddenly ripped away from them. They need to get that out of their system before Scorpio arrives and they need to switch their talking points.
"You wouldn't be confused if you READ the linked article (specifically the last paragraph)... "
Right, but that would have killed the narritive he was trying to spin about MS being shady and doing tons of 180's. Like almost always, whenever someone says MS is sending mixed signals or doing 180's, really what they are saying is that they themselves are uninformed. Prime example, the cloud...even til today there are still people that are openly ignoran...
Is that what I said, or are you still unable to see past your fanboy goggles? You've never even played this game, why do you care? Are you just always negative in your life? You must have no friends. Note: Bugs, mechanical issues and Technical mishaps are the same thing...I get that you were trying really hard to build an offense against the game, but I think you just meant "bugs"...which were MASSIVELY overblown. I didn't find it had a lack of content at all, it took m...
Seems to me more that if you have violent tendencies you'll lean towards games with violence...you don't trip and fall from Mario to Outlast. For every argument saying that videogames cause violence, I'm sure a legitimate argument could be made that games actually allow for a safe path to release violent urges. Truth is people (and animals) cause violence, if there was no market for it, it'd disappear.
Such a great game, it didn't get the respect it deserved. It was a nice fresh new IP that had the feel of a Metroid game. I REALLY hope they make a sequel (but with co-op).
Just keep Scorpio or X1 Apex
I wouldn't be surprised if Scorpio drops the same day and Battlefront 2 is a launch title. Scorpio is EASILY the best place for a title like this. As will Destiny 2...that will be best on Scorpio. No matter how much money Sony throws at 3rd parties this holiday, EVERY 3rd party game will be best on Scorpio. At this point it actually looks like desperation on Sony's part, they dropped all their bombs already and now they have nothing to compete with MS in the later half of the year....
Esp being that the Scorpio will be more powerful than PCs that cost twice as much...at least
You're gonna get lynched spreading the truth around here. When Scorpio drops, there will no longer be ANY debate about which console is best for Multiplats. Today you can say PS4 has the power advantage, but someone (like myself) could still want to use X1 for multiplats because of better controller, network, UI/Play anywhere, and software support....once Scorpio takes the power advantage (and ease of game development...with more power advantage that can even be shown by pure specs bec...
Something tells me if it said that about MS, you'd be accusing MS of money-hatting. But buying 3rd party favor is great when it's PS. Makes sense really, right now it looks like the 2nd half of 2017 is pretty dry for PS. Either way, I'll still be playing Battlefront and Destiny 2 on Scorpio, PS can't buy my loyalty.
That game had it's issues, but I enjoyed it more than most reviews. I actually liked the simplicity of it. It was a great game to mindlessly play while watching TV or something. I'd be excited about a 2nd one. If they just tighten up a few little things in the gameplay (like adding the ability to scout from a Helo) it'd be a really really good game. This is a game that the extra power of Scorpio would really benefit, esp in terms of draw distance (it would also be awesome if ...
The more and more I hear about Scorpio, the more impressive it gets. I'm definitely getting one, but I wouldn't be shocked if it ain't cheap. If it's $500 or less, it sounds like an abosolute steal for the tech....not only vs other consoles, but vs PC market as well. At $500 it would be competeing directly with PCs that cost about 3x+ or more. (Luckily for me, I've already traded enough stuff at Gamestop that I already have a $500 scorpio paid off).
Of course not power alone (which is much greater than the stats alone show...being that DX12 brings compute commands down from the thousands to dozens). The doubts went from "can Xbox actually achieve true 4k at all"...to "well the games will have to be 30fps"...to "how should developers use the left over processing power?". But it's insane ability to adapt/adjust to older games not built specifically for Scorpio, the fact that it will also be the easiest co...
