I agree. If Fallout 76, which is always online and was completely broken and dogshit on arrival is still around and didn’t “fail”, then almost zero chance this will. Tons will buy it at launch, if it’s rough those people will complain, and over time the fans/Bethesda will fix it and everyone else will buy it. It’s the Bethesda playbook.
I feel like it’s historically always been a bad idea to be like “this is a Halo-CoD-WoW killer”. Like just make a solid game first, worry about that shit later.
Because we can. Well not me, but people who know what they’re doing. Lol
Love how the shills are suddenly coming out of the woodwork. Pretty much all Xbox specific sites. Pathetic. It’s either sycophantic or they’re on the take. “See Daddy Phil, I’m not like the others” (bites lip)
Somos Xbox means “we are Xbox”, correct? If so I guess this makes sense.
True. I think a further problem though, is there’s a finite number of gamers who have the time/commitment for GAAS games. And most of them are already on things like Destiny, WoW, FFXIV, etc., all which have had a chance to polish their problems. Plus the players have an investment. So all these publishers coming to the table with half baked products, all essentially vying for pieces of the same limited pie, it’s a recipe for failure, as has been shown time and time again.
An actual smooth, consistently frame paced 30 fps is fine I think for exploration heavy games that don’t require fast reflexes. It can look a little juddery if you come to it from a 60FPS game at first, but with decent motion blur it’s ok. For a game with any kind of reflexive or competitive element though, 60FPS is much better. But the frame rate is least of Redfalls problems. They can up the frame rate and fix the bugs but it will still be a shit game. Unlike TotK, which is by all accounts ...
Ooooohhhh , a 6 out of 10, he’s not like the other girls. So edgy
How many times are established studios gunna stop chasing GaaS pipe dreams and failing before this nonsense stops (Anthem, Avengers, Redfall, Babylon’s Fall, most likely Suicide Squad). Any games currently in development with this kind of plan need to pivot now before it’s too late. Hopefully Arkane learned and will go back to what they do best with this next one.
Maybe downplay that Fallout 76 part a bit. Lol.
I’m not an Xbox person, honestly wondering, is the whole Gamepass thing influencing any of this you think? Because they know a decent slice of people playing the games aren’t paying full price so they feel they can get away with shipping games in a poor state? GamePass is a great value but this seems like a potential downside. Maybe I’m wrong.
No
Don’t do this people. Why single out an artist. It’s not her fault the game released early. Or that bad decisions were made in design. If you wanna give Phil or Harvey a little shit I can see that, but this is just bullying bullshit.
It’s called the sunk cost fallacy. You spent a bunch of money on a console with a lackluster selection of first party games so you have to pretend like they’re better than they are. This of course only applies to people who actually make excuses, there’s plenty of other reasons people choose to own Xbox’s. But everyone should demand better from bad developers, regardless of platform. PC has been getting shafted this year with horrible ports for example.
I’d have to be excited for Starfield to worry about it. But yeah, anyone who knows the history of Bethesda has been worried since way before Redfall.
Starting to remind me of the South Park episode with the BP Oil president, being like “sooooorrrry” with all kinds of emotionally manipulative backgrounds. To quote a line from. Vanilla Sky “SHUT UP, FACE!!!”
Tell ‘em Shu!!
Pretty cool!
Somewhat reminds me of Styx.
Awesome.
