Personally, i would take OG Xbox and Xbox 360 generations over Xbox One and Xbox Series SX gens combined. So many great games and franchises. And actual exclusives.
Personally, i think in the next 3 years at least nothing like that will happen. If ever.
Current AI (actually just a neural network) are amazing but very limited and only good at one thing pretty much. NN forgets what you were talking about if the dialog is long enough. They can start repeating themselves or changing characters/dialog.
You can't feed them too much information all at once (hence, they can't keep the whole plot in mind yet). You'll need e...
This whole response reads like «You'll get scraps and you'll love them!!1»
'member the attitude "Release when it's done"? Those were the good times.

So mismanagement. Why nobody was fired though? Like producers and project managers? It's their responsibility to keep the project within a certain scope.

Minecraft, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Highfleet, Besiege, Gamecraft, From The Depths and a ton of other games. Your point?
@Imalwaysright
If you're criticizing one games' performance (aka, it's affecting your score) and do not criticize the other or acting like, quote, "majority of people who play this game are not expecting 30fps" (it's from an article) - it is hypocritical. This is not about 30 fps only, this is about not hitting 30 fps 100% of the time (aka, performance issues) and sweeping that under the rug for the game you like. Both games have a problem here (not hitting ...
No, it is hypocritical, stop with the mental gymnastics. Yes, one is an old hardware and other is brand new SSD machine. But:
a) It's Nintendo problem that their hardware can't handle the game and they don't release the next console/revision yet;
b) Both games are exclusives and should show the best the console can perform.
I can kinda agree that Redfall should be criticized more (because of how much extra power they can use). But Zelda must be...
Hmm, weird. Lowest score on Opencritic right now is from Eurogamer with a "terrible" 4/5. But that 6/10 review from GFINITY (you can find it on n4g in hottest section right now) is not published there.
Keep in mind, Gfinity do publish their review to Opencritic (latest one was from march of this year). And even Josh Brown (the author of that review) also have his other review published (for Wild Hearts).
That surely must be just a coinkydink, ri...
One game couldn't solve Xbox's drought. Even if the game's going to be amazing.
If you're hungry, one plate of food wouldn't make you feel full.
It could be a sign on change, sure. But first, i would like at least to see some unedited gameplay.
But after a recent interview with Phil Spencer, when he said that great games won't help to turn things around, i don't expect much. Better to keep your expectations low and be ...
@blackblades
You can use Opencritic, it doesn't have user scores or reviews. And that's the reason why i'm not using it.
In this particular case, at least, according to original twitter thread, this have happened because of lack of spanish language and the dev have noticed it now. And this whole "bombing" did happen 6 months after the release. Someone, IMO, overreacted. And they used this attention to advertise something else.
You would think that, right? But they're probably doing things the other way around - match the person with better/more efficient item against the player with worse gear. So the player with worse gear would lose and want to buy better items to win next time.
Here's more info about that patent https://n4g.com/news/211531...<...
Developers should strive to make the best game possible. Don't try to normalize low-effort products or a bad job.
Also, i'm not sure how Redfall isn't like the other Arkane games - it's also a first person shooter with light RPG elements and semi-open world. You know, like the Prey or Deathloop. The only new element is a co-op. Maybe that's down to personal preference or something.
If they've tried to make, i dunno, an RTS game, then i would...
It's disgusting when Ybarra uses «Blizzard Quality» as some sort of excuse or guarantee; it actually sounds more like a cruel joke. He became a part of Blizzard in 2021, you know, when the quality was at the lowest, he has no idea what actual Blizzard quality is, he wasn't there to see the time when the games were complete and fully working at release. And how the company continue to support games for tens of years, not turn it off completely after 6.
@Rdeal
Please check the definition of a word «review». Reviews are critical appraisal first and foremost. Issues can be ignored by the reader (if they choose to), not by reviewer; otherwise reviewer is doing a terrible job. If you can't be critical of the game you're reviewing, don't call it a "review" then, simple as that.
If i see that a game has issues at launch (performance, AI, story can't be completed and such), i will not ...
@gleepot
No one is saying that you aren't allow to like the game though.
Reviews are not just opinions, they're critical appraisal; otherwise it would be marked as an opinion piece. You must be critical of it. You have to mention issues that you encounter, because people are using reviews as a basis for their purchasing decision. If you're not mentioning the issues or act like they don't affect the score (and rating it higher because of that), you&#...

@theindiearmy
I'm sorry, what? Microsoft should pull out of UK market because of Xbox? Are you crazy? You know how many billions they'll lose and how many breach of contract lawsuits they'll face? And keep in mind all the software sales, licenses, hardware, subscription money, offices they rent, staff, datacenters and so on. It would be much cheaper for Microsoft to shut down the Xbox branch altogether than to pull out of such a big market. They're a huge company, you...
The more options, the better. If you don't like performance mode, don't use it. Taking the choice away is not okay.
Also, this game costs $70. And goes up to $99.99. It was delayed twice already, everything should be running perfectly, especially for the price they're asking. This is not ok. This is not some indie developer, it's a first party (good one, too), for G-d's sake! Stop excusing their laziness and greed.
@gangsta_red
To be fair, Cyberpunk 2077 also was praised by "influencers" before the release. And that didn't turn out well.
And wasn't Redfall shown on PC, hence better graphics/performance, same as Cyberpunk? It's like they learned from CD Projekt RED's playbook.
Nintendo, please, i beg you, don't make Zelda playable! I wanna see this thegamer "riot".
> I’m not suggesting we actually riot if Zelda isn’t playable
Oh, wait, someone is just being melodramatic and hunting for clicks. Ewww.
So now Marathon is a PVP extraction shooter? Just... why? What's next, Oni? But instead of 3rd person brawler/platformer, it'll be something like PVP roguelike dungeon crawler, huh?
