I'd be curious to know if a lot of money was actually thrown at it. Is there somewhere to find that out? Or is it more of an assumption because MS needs to bump up their 1st party line-up? Also, I need to play it first to make a final opinion. Reviews are great and all but, especially in this case, it sounds like some people will really enjoy the game regardless of the bugs.
Oh, wow! This comment is SUPER deep! Lol.
It's not first party though. They don't own the studio. They just published the Xbox version.
I would argue that Nintendo is currently in next gen territory. They rushed to get away from the poorly received and marketed Wii U. So Nintendo has BotW, a game that was supposed to be a Wii U exclusive, delayed to also be a launch title for the Switch. They have Mario Odyssey, a legit new game specifically made for the switch. Upcoming are games like Octopath Traveler, Bayonetta 3, and Metroid Prime 4. Most everything else is either a Wii U port or a 3rd party game. Not that either of those games are bad, but I wouldn't exactly say the Switch is embarrassing anyone. It's selling well, yes, but so do most new consoles when they launch. Also, i still get irked when people act like the xbox has no 1st party line-up. I think it would be more correct to argue that more recently there has been a large gap in releases, but if you look at the total from when the PS4 and Xbox One released, the number of actual exclusives in comparison isn't that far apart: scroll down to post#1830
Rofl your effort is relentless lol. Thank you for your contribution.
It is when you quote the specific reviews that are especially incendiary in the writing to try and make your point.
How well optimized is it ? Thinking to buy but i have an old gaming laptop. Scared that it will even stutter in low settings.
That sounds really awful. I get that it is a survival game and that managing resources is important, but if I need to continually harvest resources so I can harvest more resources, I will fall off this game really quick.
I quoted 3 (three reviews), not one but (3), all pretty much saying the same things. Some even going into more details than others on some finer points and their issues with the game. If there are 10/10 and glowing reviews, surely you can post those and discuss their take...... Some like the Karak review because he likes the game and that's fine, but the majority of reviewers and the aggregate point to a less than stellar effort overall. That in no way should detract you if you're having fun, it's your money and your time. I'm sure some folk loved the tail out of PUBG at sub-par framerates on XBOX or loved SOT for what it was, I'm even sure some people would attest to how fun Superman 64 was...Yet, what we're discussing here are reviews and how it is being received by a wider gamut of folk who played...
True, but it does have extremely strong 1st party games and portability, both which make it stand out on its own.
Seriously. If you wouldn't display the same kind of disdain on EVERY. SINGLE. XBOX. THREAD, your voice may be heard more frequently. As it stands though, most scroll through your posts like their covered in fungus. Just saying...
I thought it ran fine. I had everything cranked to max at 1440p and it seemed locked to 60. I didn't have vsync on (I have gsync) but for some reason it seemed locked. I was going to fiddle with DSR to see how 4k would run, but I ended up refunding. For me, without the ability to adjust the fov, I'd find it hard to continue to play. Just in case you didn't know - you can try/buy the game with the xbox game pass for $10, which you can then cancel at anytime.
oh this is awesome...hmm I might have to try it again
Have you tried going into stealth mode with your character? That worked for me during the tutorial.
Wait, so you dismiss the wii u as a "shitty" console, yet you sit there and praise all the wii u ports to the switch. The wii u was a good console. I loved mine. It just didnt sell well - it had a really stupid and confusing name and consequently was marketed piss poorly. There was also no zelda game as a launch title and metroid got left out entirely. Two of Nintendo's biggest IP's got passed over or not released until the next generation started with the Switch.
The main difference in not about quantity but impact , just Bloodborne and Horizont on PS4 are more known than most of MS new IPs.
Oh definitely, and quality of games is a big deal. Which I understand games like ReCore and Quantum Break are good games, but they obviously don't stack up to the AAA games like Bloodborne, Horizon and GoW. I think Sea of Thieves could potentially get to that point some day if Rare keeps adding stuff to do at a quick enough pace, but it's not there right now, not even close.
Yep. I won't argue that recently the xbox one has had a pretty big drought (not debatable), but it's just when people throw out the blanket statement that the xbox has no games that I get irritated. I know I make up part of the crowd of people viewed as the xbox defense force, but I can't help myself sometimes.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. There was always the pro controller which was highly rated. I don't generally get as worked up about the look of a console as some, and I bought a refurbished unit for $200. That's a sweet spot for me and was available for quite a while before the switch arrived.
Having a pc is one thing, being willing to play console games on a pc is another. People throw out that excuse all the time even when inwardly they know they wouldn't be interested in actually playing them on a pc. Not saying you're like that, but I pretty much doubt everyone lol.
Well compare that list to the one i posted above. There really isn't that big of a difference - quality yes, general numbers no. So I guess Sony's library is sparse too... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
