Only Third-person, over-the-shoulder, action-adventurer with shooter elements, set in a mythological or dystopian future counts as real games.
Very true

Grounded is from 13 people at Obsidian. You can look forward to a Triple A Obsidian RPG for next gen.
They're not going to completely pivot to an entirely different genre, regardless of how popular the game is imo.I get that and am looking forward to that. More Outer Worlds or games of a similar style is what I'm hoping for and expecting. The danger from my perspective with them doing a popular style like the survival genre is if it suddenly explode in popularity, so it becomes more profitable to invest in that over their traditional games.
It's like if GTAV fans before release had said they don't want to see multiplayer added to Rockstar's games, because if it's successful it might be the end of single player DLC, due to the microtransactions in the online mode bringing in more money, thus always being more profitable to invest in. Companies can quickly pivot in a new direction if that direction starts making them more money and solely from the perspective of what I personally enjoy, I'd rather not see Obsidian go down that potentially tempting road. If I'd been a fan of Ninja Theory, I'd probably be feeling the same way about Bleeding Edge.
Sorry but market trends will always affect what's being released. But to be honest we are moving to a time in which uniqueness and quality matter more than "traditional" game.I get that and am looking forward to that.

Also with Rockstar, they still delivered a stellar single player campaign in both GTAV and RDR2. So we don't get more single player dlc, it's not the biggest deal.

You also need a side kick for the emotions.Only Third-person, over-the-shoulder, action-adventurer with shooter elements, set in a mythological or dystopian future counts as real games.
Microsoft bought Obsidian to make RPGs. If Obsidian suddenly decides all they want to do is make cheap survival games, Microsoft will probably start taking a more heavy-handed approach to managing them.I get that and am looking forward to that.

But they're not third person action adventure games! They clearly don't count.
Aye, at the end of the day it really is just my opinion.childish console wars comments and your avatar? Come on try a bit harder.
I'm playing wasteland 2 right now as I've seen the trailer for 3. I'm not sure what planet you're on but that isn't triple a and it isn't even a Microsoft game. Ori isn't triple a either.
You can think a game is triple A all you like in regards to FS2020, but you thinking something doesn't make it true. There seems to some debate if it is or not.
so as it stands 1 AAA isn't amazing is it, maybe 2 if you count FS2020
that is only a few worth the play
yeah, unfortunately.
Those goal posts aren't going to move themselves.
We both know there is no way in hell that flight sim will win GotY. Racers can't even win GotY and they are more mainstream.I like the variety they're going for. Big tentpole blockbusters in Halo and Forza, indie darlings in Ori and Tell Me Why, mass-appeal games in Bleeding Edge, Grounded and Minecraft, old school PC-assed PC games in Flight Simulator (GotY contender btw), Wasteland and Age of Empires, some fan pleasing cult appeal games in Psychonauts and Battletoads... considering this is the period where most publishers are winding down in prep for next gen, it's great to see.
I predict at least 3 titles nearing or surpassing a 90 metascore (Halo, Ori & MFS, maybe a Forza).
Very excited for Grounded. Didn't think I would be, but it's looking and sounding great!
Why unfortunately?
I like it when publishers cater to all kinds of groups. I'm really looking forward to Age of Empires 4, Gears Tactics, Ori and Tell Me Why. Others will probably be looking forward to Hellblade and Halo Infinite.
Others will be hyped for Wasteland 3 or Psychonauts 2. There's something for everyone.
Really? Have you seen anything else about the game other than the initial trailer? That's probably the one game out of Xbox Game Studios I'm not too sure how it's going to turn out.
This is what GamePass is about. In the xboxera discord we've been talking about this. MS has enough games announced right now that they can release 1 game per month next year if they wanted to...especially with knowing that there are more unannounced titles.
Phil's Xbox.
I would guess on the series X it'll probably be locked 4k/60 since it's technically cross gen.Most likely 60fps with a dynamic resolution... As it should be.
Lmao...Past: Xbox has no games
Present: Xbox has no GOTY contenders
Future: Xbox has no games
Phil Spencer really did an amazing job with those acquisitions. I think Xbox is now poised to dominate next gen.
Its true lol. I loved after all this the narrative of some people changed, They have no upcoming third person AAA game. Then Hellblade showed up and then it was. Yes but that is far away.Past: Xbox has no games
Present: Xbox has no GOTY contenders
Future: Xbox has no games
I miss the good ole days of "Phil Spencer is all talk..."Its true lol. I loved after all this the narrative of some people changed, They have no upcoming third person AAA game. Then Hellblade showed up and then it was. Yes but that is far away.
They showed off gameplay at X019 on mixer.Really? Have you seen anything else about the game other than the initial trailer? That's probably the one game out of Xbox Game Studios I'm not too sure how it's going to turn out.
Xbox has been laying the groundwork for their next generation for quiet a while now and all I've been seeing are the right stuff. Acquiring, building, and expanding studios, Gamepass, supporting indie developers, investing in 3rd-party exclusives, beefing-up their hardware, and bringing Japanese games on their platform. Microsoft is now committed to their Xbox division more than ever, and it shows.
This is not a slam or anything, but I do think this is a terrible take. "People shouldn't want or enjoy the things they like, because then they won't get the REALLY GOOD stuff that they just don't know they're supposed to like!!" It's a bit gaming elitist. Gaming trends change, and I think we're seeing the single player narrative focused game pendulum swing back. Great! That doesn't mean that other types of games are bad or not worthwhile. Even when people on this forum (or who listen to gaming podcasts or follow gaming twitter) don't enjoy a genre or type of game, there are probably many, many people who enjoy that type of game outside of these walls. We should not deny them because we have different tastes.I get that and am looking forward to that. More Outer Worlds or games of a similar style is what I'm hoping for and expecting. The danger from my perspective with them doing a popular style like the survival genre is if it suddenly explode in popularity, so it becomes more profitable to invest in that over their traditional games.
But it is, just later. Doesn't mean I understand it either thoughI'm excited about all of them. I wish tactics came to console though l. I really don't understand that decision at all.
