I'm replying Quantum Break and i can't stop asking to myself ¿What the hell were the reviewers thinking while playing the fucking game?
I wouldn't be too too concerned about Microsoft screwing up any of their new studios. Consider this second hand insider information because I have it from people who work at some of those studios, but Microsoft is taking a pretty hands off approach. A lot of these studios they bought because of their pedigree and their particular spirit and style, and their fanbases especially, and they don't want to mess any of that up.
Maybe someone like Compulsion might get some extra guidance and restructuring, and I'm sure Microsoft will bring their own guns to the fight when it comes to MSGP partnerships, but for your Ninja Theories and your Obsidians of the group, I expect them to keep doing what they're doing, but with more freedom, budget and time.
Nah that's the worst part of metro exodus. The obsession for opening the games is hurting level
As if there never had been games, books, movies rejected by mainstream critics reaching a cult status
Ah yes people who will never touch the game talking about the devs wasting their time.
Why judging an entire line up strategy by one single game with a rough development?
I'm disappointed by how high is farcry new dawn, while metro looks like that the open sections are worst than the linear ones
State of decay 2 had just a buggish launch, like it never happens with ow games with a tons of systems, like the witcher, kingdom come, mass effect andromeda, everything bethesda, the acs. Still the problem of the saga is that they try to push it into the mainstream while the game is designed for being extremely niche.
Sea of Thieves is one of the strangest beast in the generation, so it wasn't clear how it would have worked at launch.
I hope that the gamepasspay off and msft still release unique and original games with odd design philosophies.
Even if it was the best game in the world since System Shock 2, what the hell could a gamer do once a game is out? unless it's a gaas.
Plus it's fun
If this isn't enough for you: the city is gorgeous, orbs progression still kicks ass more than the rpg lite mechanics we see everywhere with awful results and the guns variety is 10/10.
Why moving on when it's the cornerstone of the future of gaming?
343 has more openings on the msft website in the career section.
I'm impressed by undead labs
they were searching for 170 new devs back in fall 2018, the new studio just kicked in
immagine cancelling a game because the forums hate it. Guess that the game never aimed higher than it's fanbase
I'm asking my self if it is related to what they said about the new horde mode that an user teased in the former thread.
While WZ is not my cup of tea it's impressive
The mode is fun and a pleasure to watch but I'm not so interested when I can play 500 more hours in gears 4's mp until 5.
I'm curious how it will be used in the future. This is just the first step
Guess that far cry was never expected to set the world on fire, like cd, just a guilty pleasure for the fans, while Metro looks like the goty material to me.
But I saw a shit ton of post on twitter saying that people are enjoying their time in crackdown and the bad reviews maybe were useful to attract the pubblic on a niche game. Like even they said that they aimed for sharknado of gaming.
I was planning to buy gears 5 because is my favourite game ever, but I'm getting bad vides from interviews and trailers, so I will gamepass it unless it shows the right footage
It's like saying you sucked Satan's cock and enjoyed in salem in XVII century
Metro bombing? Ok the epic thing would enrage the core fanbase of the franchise on pc, but I can't see it bombing
The black dude in the left lower corner looks great to hug? Maybe the artwork the guy is holding is related to ori?
The far cry fanbase is pretty big, even if the games looks a reskin.
I'm puzzled, I was projecting metro in the 90+ category
Far Cry New Dawn is a 74 on open critic. I only have 8 story missions left and the game is done. Don't see myself giving it higher than an 8.0/10 at best which was what I rated Far Cry 5. The series has declined for me personally though. I rated Far Cry 3/4/Primal a 9.0/10 each. Not happy with the changes Ubisoft has made and the stories and characters seem to get worse. Having a character created character who's also silent as the protagonist two games in a row is horrible. As average as Jason Brody and Ajay Ghale were, both were by far better than the fake voiceless non-existent character in Far Cry 5 and New Dawn.
Metro Exodus on the other hand is an 83 on open critic and personally, im expecting a 9.0/10 for myself. Enjoyed the first two games and played 2033 last summer where as I played Last Light on 360 back when it launched. Majority of the complaints that I have seen about Exodus is technical issues. Hopefully, 4A Games fixes them as quickly as possible. Either way, I'll be starting it Monday as im very much looking forward to it and a lot more than I was New Dawn.

Pagan Min is one of the few well written villains this gen.
Still I find the formula boring and the rpg system in new dawn looks terrible for the shooting mechanics.
Agree in regards to Min. Far Cry 4 is my favorite game out of those that I have played which has been every one since Far Cry 3. I prefer the old formula and setup compared to the new one. The light RPG elements aren't bad or anything. They just don't fit with what Far Cry is meant to be.
This is just a clarifying question, but do you consider 8 out 10 bad or good? To me that's a pretty good score, that'd be a game with only a few noticeable flaws.
I ask just to be sure, because it seems like a lot of people I see lately consider 7 - 8 average, 9 - 10 great and 6 or below a complete failure.
I was kinda wondering the same thing when I read it. What was being said wasn't jiving with the 8 for me. I was thinking like a 6.5 or 7 from the comments.
I personally and literally use a 0-10 rating scale which is as follows -
0 - Unplayable, 1 - Awful, 2 - Bad, 3 - Poor, 4 - Below Average, 5 - Average, 6 - Above Average, 7 - Good, 8 - Great, 9 - Excellent and 10 - Superb
I rate every game in four categories on a whole number scale of 0-10. The four categories are visuals, audio, gameplay and story/characters. I then have a fifth category for open world and wide linear games like Far Cry New Dawn, Rise/Shadow of the Tomb Raider, etc. This category is for all the side and optional content. The fifth category is the only category I also use half point increments in. When next gen starts, I'll use half point increments for all categories. If I do this now, I would have to re-rate 70+ games and just no way. Better off waiting until next gen especially when it's less than two years away. Overall rating is the four (or five if applicable) categories added up and then divided by four (or five) which gives me the overall rating. The overall rating is in half point increments so for example, an 8.0/10, 8.5/10, 9.0/10, etc. However, while I'll give a 10 rating in a category, unless a game gets four (or five) 10's across the board, no game will ever surpass 9.5/10. Anything past is just too fucking high in my opinion. Out of 75 completed games (up to REmake2), 20-25% are either 9/10 or 9.5/10 but the 9.5/10 is only as of now, four games for this generation.
Last generation, I only rated with an overall score but going into this generation, I didn't like it because if for example, I play a 2D Mario game, it may get an 8 overall but the story/characters category is basically a 5/10. I don't just hand out 9+ scores. It's very rare that I do that. I don't have any game below a 6/10 for this generation. Majority of my overall scores are either 8.0/10 or 8.5/10. A decent amount of 7 or 7.5 plus a few 6 or 6.5's.
Sorry for the long post but to answer your question directly, an 8.0/10 is a great game in my opinion but for say, Far Cry New Dawn (and FC5), it's not in that excellent category like 3/4/Primal was for me so while still great, the last two games have declined for me personally. Hope this answers your question. :)
First off, how long did this take you type? Second, its not forums its the entire gaming media... reviews are bad?
A Captain America game? or 4A games acquisition? or big Time partnership with rockstar games ?..lol your guess is as good as mine
Shannon Loftis ?
Something strange is happening here
Are we overthinking ?
My theory is that they played it like a typical cover shooter.
the circle encircled by the star resembles the captain's shield.
2 pancakes, 2 star wanted level. Booty is a pleb confirmed. Real gamers get at least 3.
Late in the month to very early next month. Depends on if they have events like Inside Xbox to line up with it.
there are still more unannounced games coming this month. Anyway, they will probably announce next month's games early next month.
also there is a OT. https://www.resetera.com/threads/xbox-game-pass-ot-game-pass-and-chill.18343/
If MS gets a Cap game it'd be the Coalition developing it. Rod is a huge Cap fan. Check out his Instagram. He had a ton of statues and figures.
I thought games were added on the 1st of the month, guess not. I'm still new to this.
Oh I totally missed it somehow, thanks
They're acquiring 4A games and their next project is using the Donnie Darko IP.
This is all clear to me now, I can't believe we didn't see it coming
lol, i always feel bad for him though seems like a nice person that dreams too big
You shut your mouth, that man's a.... Oh nevermind, it's fine, he knows what he did.
A successor to Metro that's based in the London Underground after the apocalypse has destroyed the U.K. would be amazing.
The tube is iconic what with Kings Cross.
Gameplay would be similar to Metro as well
I'd be so hard if they acquired 4A games. Like someone else, they are a tech powerhouse. Money is definitely an object to them considering they took that exclusivity deal with Epic on PC ( 😡😡😡😡😡). They know how to max out the Xbox One, One X and PC if the Digital Foundry videos are anything to go by. There is at least a foundation there considering they premiered the game at Xbox's E3 show, there is an Exodus One X bundle, the Metro games are on GamePass (though that's more on the publisher I'll admit)..They are an established studio..
Those aren't foundations that indicate an acquisition by any means of course, but it shows that Phil obviously likes that studio, especially enough to do the One X bundle.

Like when COD and Battlefield tried to go back to WW2, except not shit and only made to make money in the multiplayer mode. Though I wonder if they would prefer to do an WW2-era game but with non-human enemies..kind of a mix between Metro and Resistance: Fall of Man.
A Toad can dream🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
meh?✋✋
How do you know it's going to bomb? One of my huge problems with a lot games discussions is people do not actually play games or even wait for hard data before declaring a game a success or failure. If you are looking for a AAA single player FPS, Metro is one of your few options. I don't know if it will be a good or a bad game but I would be very surprised if the game is terrible or even mediocre.
