[In Cold Blood]

High on life is due out on the 13th December and could be the best game of 2022 for Xbox.
Xbox console exclusive and day 1 Gamepass.

Who else his hanging out to play this?

 

[Clintizzle]

Yeah i'm looking forward to this. It may not blow everyone away but i think its going to be worth playing just because how different it is going to be.

 

[feynoob]

Its already late.
Xbox lost 2022 momentum.

Hope 2023 is a hit with starfield and maybe hell blade 2 if possible.

Wishful thinking "Avowed 2023".

 

[Jennings]

Looks silly, and I don't like the elbow jab drug humor.

 

[Punished Miku]

Im super interested. Looks unlike anything else this year. Nice change of pace. We'll see how it is.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

OP you must be High to think this will be that good.

 

[Bragr]

Everything about this game screams 75 on metacritic at best, which is good but not anything to jump for. I hope I am wrong.

Most likely the gameplay is not gonna be living up to the humor. I expect a very safe shooter with a lot of repetition in the mission design.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I have it on preload, seems potentially fun, but it also seems like it's going to be a lot of Morty, we'll see

I'm going to say solid 7 on meta

 

[Magic Carpet]

I went through an entire bottle of Tylenol playing Borderlands 3. Guess I need to buy another.
A headache waiting to happen.

 

[Lone Wolf]

This game was originally going to be a Stadia exclusive I believe. Hope it’s good.

 

[oji-san]

Looks like a lot of fun, will be the next game i try.

 

[pasterpl]

I am interested, games looks like it will going to be fun to play.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

 

[FoxMcChief]

Looks and sounds great. I like the idea of replayability.

 

[RPS37]

OMG I am with this thread!
CHOO CHOO!

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Not very interested.

Unless it has very good shooting.

So far it looked kinda ok with artstyle/ writing trying to make up for it. And failing.

Will see how it's received before downloading on gamepass.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I'm very excited for it since it's dropping on Game Pass. I probably would also buy it even without game pass also.

 

[Justin9mm]

The gunplay looks half decent and slightly fun, I think that has to really be on point for it to grab my attention. I will try on gamepass, probably be something I'll play for an hour and have no desire to pick up again but who knows.

 

[RPS37]

I’m under the impression it’s going to be a bit like Metroid Prime with a little Stranger’s Wrath. That seems dope.

 

[GenericUser]

It's easy to be the best if you are the only one.

 

[FUBARx89]

I'm looking forward to it. Should be a lighthearted romp through with talking guns

 

[adamsapple]

Looks fun

 

[Punished Miku]

Just looks fun lol. Definitely different

 

[Imtjnotu]

it looks different but with out much else the xbox side has put out, it better be good. if it wasnt for gamepass i would not touch it lol

 

[93xfan]

This game was originally going to be a Stadia exclusive I believe. Hope it’s good.

If it was going to be fun with all that crappy latency, then surely it’s going to be a great game.

Don’t question my logic.

 

[In Cold Blood]

This game is gonna be full of humour and innuendo.


Like has anyone else worked out knifey?
He has an Australian accent?
Crocodile Dundee?
That's not a knife, this is a knife?

 

[Robb]

Definitely looking forward to this one, looks great!

Hoping the banter doesn’t get on my nerves. I usually like most of their stuff though.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Can't wait.

 

[remember_spinal]

Swimming in 7’s the game

 

[buenoblue]

It only makes sense cause It's free on gamepass

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

If it’s a 8-12 hour story with decent gunplay and a solid script I’ll be happy. My expectations are in check. Expecting an ambitious AA 7 with flaws but a solid foundation. Anything more will make me happy.

 

[BeardGawd]

Just looks fun lol. Definitely different

A smoker's perfect game.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm gonna be there day one.

Does anyone has a cheap key link?

 

[GymWolf]

OP you must be High to think this will be that good.

Maybe he's high on hype?

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I think it looks good so have been avoiding coverage and have preloaded.

Got the stamp of approval, I see.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Really looking forward to it. Hoping it doesn't disappointing. Looks pretty good to me.

 

[anthony2690]

Really looking forward to this as well, I need to finish soulstice before this lands

 

[Roberts]

It's easy to be the best if you are the only one.

Yes, Pentiment is an ugly picture book and Grounded is for infants, not grown-ups. And what the fuck is As Dusk Falls? Certainly not a game.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'd love to play that, definitely my humour. A shame this is an Xbox exclusive.

 

[GymWolf]

You can buy it on pc.

It's also on PC, maybe that is an option for you?

 

[Skifi28]

OP is high and it's probably not on life.

Edit: A bit late, predictably.

 

[Zathalus]

I highly doubt this would review that well. Might be fun to play.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Some of you guys seem to put a lot of faith in reviews, it seems. I'm not saying they are never useful or correct, but I wouldn't put too much faith in the validity of them, these days.

 

[Kupfer]

If you're into the humor, it might be funny for 2 or 3 hours, but I'm afraid the style wears thin quickly.
And somehow I can't imagine that there is so much content behind the game that you really dive in to play through the story from beginning to end for the sake of it.

Commercial reviews are worth nothing these days.
People who make money from reviews are too afraid to be negative - either to the community or to the publisher.
User reviews are too emotionally charged in most cases and come from followers who have committed themselves to an agenda and want to spread it around the world at all costs.

I'm solely a PS5 guy because 99% of the time only PlayStation exclusives interest me. It's not worth having multiple platforms for the odd exclusive game, for me anyway.

So you only play 3-4 games per year?

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I'm interested thanks to Gamepass but not over hyped for it. Hopefully it has more jokes land than crash and burn with some fun things throughout to change it up a bit.

 

[Freeman76]

I thought it looked ridiculous, the banter will get on my tits. Yes, I'm old and miserable I'll get my cocoa and show myself out

Mostly agree. I remember back in the day when Gamespot was young, and people like Greg K. did reviews for the dedicated gamer before they went all commercial and political. Now they mostly push a consumer agenda for sales and web traffic.
