What a shame, I had high hopes for this Game! :-(
Well, another reason to not buy a Xbone.
I'm sure you're aware, but it's available on W10 as well if you have that platform.

Sunset OverdriveNow that I think about it, have they had much success with new IP this generation outside of Ori?
lmaothose 2 example also give a hint you where you must focus on to have good review : presentation with not challenging /demanding gameplay ...(but poslish is also to blame here)
Like The Order....
OT, Will it ever comes to Steam??
And the quest of MS publish games first 90 this gen continue. Next up FH3, very high chance!
Sunset Overdrive
No, actually. SO bombed, QB bombed, this will bomb, Scalebound will bomb ... What other new IP have they released?
The price of the game was the fluke. Not the game itself.
Ratchet and Clank was a fluke. It got the $40 price point to push the movie. I bet had there been no movie and it was just a reboot, it would have been 60 bucks.
Regardless that was a good game.
Fluke?
Insomniac have consistently pumped out quality games.
I just bought it. Read some reviews and seems to be fine for $40 to me. I can live with the loading times and bugs as long as it's not game breaking. I'm liking the more oldschool aproach. Only thing i'm not liking is that it sounds like all the difficult platforming is at the end. I'm hoping the difficulty curve isn't too easy and then suddenly too hard. I hate those spikes in games and much rather have a smooth curve.
Anyway i can't wait untill tomorrow, i need a new game untill all the big hitters releases.
Also i'm not sure why some people expected an AAA game for $40. Seems to me it was always advertised as a AA game.

Is this gonna be Microsoft's Knack?

Wut? People read what they want to read it guess.
That has like nothing to do with what i said.
No, I mean the overall average for every game on opencritic is like 72%. Meaning a game with 72% is considered average. This game looks to be below average.Well it's at 65 on Opencritic now as well.
No. Knack is in the 50s.hmm didn't Knack have a higher Metacritic? not sure
That makes no sense. They priced it at a level they were comfortable with. That's how it goes with any product.
No, 54.hmm didn't Knack have a higher Metacritic? not sure
In general theres a odd reception that if a game doesn't average 80 it's "bad". Dunno why that is. I blame it on how some review sites are kind of scaled if I had to guess.
Ya not sure. I went into it at the 40 price point and it still disappointed in many ways.
We need pc impressions. It's the first play anywhere title.
I don't think you should blame it on the reviewers. The ones who actually think the game is bad are giving it a 3/10 or 4/10. The ones who give it a 6 or 7 are saying it's an enjoyable but (for some, deeply) flawed experience.
That's not how it works. 🙄No, I mean the overall average for every game on opencritic is like 72%. Meaning a game with 72% is considered average. This game looks to be below average.
WhatThat's not how it works. 🙄
This will be the next MS game to go on Steam. Give it 6 months.
And this is one of the games that's been marketed as being one a part of the greatest game line up in Xbox history, home to the console with the "best exclusive blockbusters"...
I hate this marketing campaign and Microsoft shouldn't be advertising like this until their games are actually critically acclaimed. There's nothing wrong with saying that you have the best games, but they've doing this shit before the games are even released for mediocre titles such as Ryse.
I hope Sea of thieves is received better, I'm bored of MS' big offerings. Sunset & Ori best games from them this gen, loved Sunset especially. Apologies if I'm wrong but have they had any retail offerings that have 90+ meta this gen? I know we shouldn't look too much into metacritic but many do, it does have a influence on success large or small.

Fetch quests bring be back to GC era and Wind Waker lol. I actually didn't think of the triforce shard finding as a fetch quest until someone pointed it out to me.I predicted 71 at best. But expected many poor reviews. Everything I'm reading doesn't fill me with dread. I've never been bothered by fetch quests.
