Yeah, to add to that I remember Bioware saying they knew their game sucked after Mass Effect 3 came out too. Hell, they even "fixed it"... lol.
@ Gangsta
I definitely want the MMO concept they originally talked about, but if they roll out a new IP they can take their time with the MMO. Either way, I'm interested in seeing what they do next.
Even against critical reviews the game is doing well and most people who've played it for themselves understand why. Sure it's not perfect, but it's not $60 either and it's obvious that gameplay came before anything else in the budget. I'm excited to see how they grow their studio now that they've got deep pockets to help polish future titles into AAA's!
WTF?
Playground has a brand new studio and the Initiative is brand new as well. That's two, not one.
The fact that Ninja Theory and Compulsion won't make games for Sony any more also means that's two more devs gained for exclusivity. They weren't making Xbox exclusives so it's still a gain for MS' 1st party developers.
Undead and the original Playground are the only studios that were "2nd" party devs ...
Stupid is all you understand though! You monkeys are so cute, LOL!!! Ask a question and talk shit when someone answers...
Agreed. I think it's good to have a balanced perspective that highlights the pros AND cons even if the game is a long way off.
Just look at how smart people are on this site, like you and all the people who don't understand my post. Alternatively, the people who agree with this stand squarely in the "WTF" is wrong with you category:
"Where in tf did that come from?"
Seriously? When the population devolve into apes? Let me spell it out for you all:
Question: When did it become okay to just throw obscenities around in journalism?
Right around the time it became acceptable for a foul-mouthed "pussy grabber" to get elected President, yet still not get called out as a part of the "Me Too" movement?
What's the alternative to a Game Pass type service, charge you $60 to "own" game but only allow you to stream it? What happens when they don't want to keep it on their servers any more?
People laughed when MS said they were developing for the 1X as the lead platform but clearly it makes a huge difference over a 1X enhanced game like FH3.
Very impressive photo-realism for an open world game!
Seasonal weather, 72 player online, 60fps mode on 1X, greatly enhanced terrain deformation, new ways to create custom tracks... and more have been added to this iteration of the franchise.
Why shouldn't I be psyched? It's been 2 years since the last FH and I've beaten the crap out of that one already.
RE4 is a great game but a horrible RE.
Glad it was free because it has pretty boring gameplay. The story is charming but that's all it has going for it, IMO... It would make a great movie!

"Even their new studio, the Coalition, is now making Gears, instead of going after what they originally started with."
Now, I'll repost part of the quote I pulled from the linked article:
"That’s when the Microsoft Studios mothership presented it with a unique scenario and a difficult choice. We could continue working on the IP we were working on," Crump says. "Or we had the opportunity to take on Gears of War....
@ Rainslacker
"Wasn't the coalition working on a new ip when ms pushed gears into them?"
Thanks for reading the quote I pulled from the article.
"Their other two.major studios make halo and forza. Lion head only made fable."
Yeah, but that fact doesn't prove that MS is responsible for the developers only making those games. Again, where's your sources?
"Ms wanted bungle to make ano...

Yes, this is how MS plans to beat Sony... by kicking MP ass in crossplay titles through KB/M support...
@ that guy
You show me your sources and I'll show you mine! ;P
My god, you're an ignorant troll. People were excited about this MS' E3 because they liked the 1st party offerings and the realization of additional studios to increase games production and diversity.
Only fanboys care about which console is winning...
Agreed. From Sony's recent statements, they plan on a solution that will make Playstation fans happy. Judging by the posts I've seen here on the crossplay topic, Playstation fans largely defend Sony's stance so that would mean Sony won't have to do anything. Hopefully Sony is smarter than this though, even if the majority of their fans here are not.
