Bleeding Edge Review: The First Rule of Cyberpunk Fight Club | TheXboxHub

William writes: "Bleeding Edge on Xbox One is just pure fun. It's a tight, fast thrill-ride that keeps me playing which, as someone who predominantly plays single-player, is not easy to do. While it certainly isn't what some fans of Ninja Theory may be expecting, it is still a great first collaboration from what will likely be one of Xbox Game Studios' finest teams."

Why am I not surprised that the only great score for this game came from an Xbox site.

Jin_Sakai1870d ago

That’s why I rarely take these Xbox site reviews seriously. They’d rate a turd 9/10.

darthv721870d ago

It feels more like a solid 7. There is some mindless fun to be had with this one and with most people stuck at home... a little mindless fun is just the thing to deal with cabin fever.

xX-oldboy-Xx1870d ago

That sounds like it'll get incredibly boring incredibly fast. Even quarantine can't help it - nor gamepass, surely there's better games to play.

masterfox1870d ago

this green fruit is the greatest fruit evaaaaar!! , comments by greenfruit.com :D

hamburgerhill1870d ago

I couldn't play past the tutorial. I'm not sure if the actual game is better, but the cheesy tutorial turned me off.

Poopmist1870d ago

This is like when some PlayStation sites were giving Days Gone high scores lol. I hope Ninja Theory just focuses on what they do well with great SP games from now on.

timotim1870d ago (Edited 1870d ago )

https://www.metacritic.com/...

2 of the top 5 reviews for Days Gone (71 overall) is from PS centric websites.

And I hope that not just NT, but all studios under the XGS umbrella will continue to be able to develop games that they are passionate about and not be restricted or prohibited in any way.

MadLad1870d ago (Edited 1870d ago )

Shhhhh.
It's different because reasons. When a Sony release gets average scores, it's because of a concentrated media blacklist trying to keep the game down. When MS releases an average game, it's because they're bad at everything they do, and any good reviews are just biased.

You should know this.

@averagejoe

Ah yes. I forgot that numbers sold always dictates quality. I guess that means something like Death Stranding must have been trash, because it left the top sold charts as quickly as it showed up on them.

The_Sage1870d ago

Oh timotim... Defending everything Xbox as if you were getting paid to do so. Wait... Are you?

averagejoe261870d ago

Days Gone was a commercial success despite the "critic" reviews - so obviously the game was good - It wouldn't have stayed on the top 10 most purchased game for so many months if it was bad

Bleeding Edge, on the other hand, is just a bad game

timotim1870d ago

😂😂😂

So let me get this right...since Days Gone was popular among PS4 owners, that means it was better than the 71 rating average it received??? Commercial success has nothing to do with how good a game is...but since thats the only card you can play, you have too I guess.

I mean...Anthem sold even better than Days Gone...it was still trash though by and large. Now I'm not calling Days Gone trash, but to imply that its sales somehow negate its quality when this whole conversation came about because someone said a site that caters to the platform gave it a high score - when Days Gone got the same treatment - thats quite some goalpost migration there haha.

King_Noctis1870d ago

“ Days Gone was a commercial success despite the "critic" reviews - so obviously the game was good”

So you are saying just because alot of people purchased Day Gone, that made the game better? So using your logic, if alot of people purchase Bleeding Edge, doesn’t that make the game better as well?

averagejoe261870d ago

LMAO

The only good score from this game is from "theXBOXhub"

That's hilarious

Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge Development to Focus on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II & More

Today Ninja Theory announced that content updates for its multiplayer combat game Bleeding Edge will cease.

Tech51563d ago

the game could have thrived with another studio partnering to add more characters and levels.
there are still old games still receiving partnerships like FH4 and Smash bros adding more to their multiplayer content. anyways can't wait to see more of Hellblade 2 game now that it's being at the center of focus.

BLizardXD1563d ago

game still has some very good animations. Hellblade 2 though is going to be sick running on UE5.

Genkins1563d ago

"Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge"

PlayStation gamers - "good"

SpeedDemon1563d ago

I'm not a PS gamer and think it's a good move, there's no use in beating a dead horse.

Shiken1563d ago

TBH, Hellblade 2 is a much more important title to the XBox library.

Rachel_Alucard1563d ago (Edited 1563d ago )

You should be glad because now they can focus on something that isn't a steaming pile of shite. But no instead you'd rather have one group live in your head rent free for every single thing.

Christopher1563d ago

I think most PS fans will agree that this is nothing to do with Ninja Theory and they want them to make Hellblade 2. It is good to see them make a new game rather than hitch themselves longer to an IP that they really aren't getting the support they should get from Microsoft to advertise it and grow it with new content.

CobraKai1563d ago

Xbox gamers - “good”

SmokinAces1563d ago

You know what they say about assumptions. Just becasue a person thinks its better they focus resources on whats sure to be a better game then on a game that has reviewed very poorly and has very little interest from the gaming community doesn't make them a "Playstation gamer". Its 2021, time to grow up and stop with the fanboy nonsense.

Kilua1562d ago

Ok. Ninja Theory must double down on bleeding edge development. Im sure that will make everyone happy

Godmars2901563d ago

Not really, if this was suppose to show NT's competence as well as MS's "free hand" towards devs.

If, as many defend, this was an original project that suffered no micro-controlling influence.

Yah bleeding edge was not very good unfortunately

gamer78041563d ago (Edited 1563d ago )

That’s cool @343_guilty_spark just wasn’t my type of game, couldn’t get into the character designs or the melee

Kurt Russell1562d ago

I liked the cha design and the melee... the ropey server connection was what killed it for me. I think I smashed it for about 3 days, then dropped it.

Killer73nova1563d ago

Bleeding edge was fun for about 30 min but after that it’s just repetitive. They said it was just a game they’ve been working on for fun. But I’m glad they are putting everything into senua and I’m excited to hear about the “more”

I_am_Batman1562d ago

I'm kinda shocked that they've supported it for this long to be honest. I'm glad they are focused on more promising games now.

Hellcat20201563d ago

Too bad
The game just didn't deliver anything good or new
It was another game I didn't have to purchase due to Gamepass

I didn't expect much from Bleeding Edge but was still disappointed. It's like they were actively trying to make a terrible game.
