The humor is an acquired taste and you will or won't like it. If the humor clicks with you, it's a very enjoyable game. If it doesn't, eh it's still a fairly decent arena/wave shooter with a unique art hook.

I have about 8-9 hours in the game so far. Liking it a lot. Will probably beat over the holiday.

FYI post-game you can go back to the game world to explore and collect. There is a sequel bait segment (an achievement is tied to it as well) that only happens post-game, don't miss that !

I'm glad to hear this. I hit side stuff up when it presents itself but for the most part I just linear slog through these types of games to get to and from the next main mission, so being able to go back and explore is going to be a real treat.

Without the disgusting CA it looks even better.

Yeah, I do wish you could turn off CA on Series X.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah, I do wish you could turn off CA on Series X.

This is why i don't get people hating on having some graphical settings on console.

I dread every time i can't disable CA, blur, film grain, etc. on console.

(tbf in this game you have to go for alternative routes to disable the CA because it's not in the regular options)

 

[DenchDeckard]

We were there day one bbe!

So well deserved. Probably, the best game released in Q4 2023.

 

[KingT731]

Bad take since it was the #1 best selling game on Steam as well, currently #2. It sounds like this is a good game that a lot of people really like.

Looking at the Steam best sellers right now and i don't think it takes much to hit the top.

Good i learned something new today. Then i'm an half green rat and half whatever you call a PS fan.

A blue rat? Apparently I'm a mud rat (blue, red, green combined).

 

[Robb]

Happy for the devs, I enjoyed the game a lot!

 

[TrebleShot]

I'm playing it, it's ok , just ok though.
Think it's popular because it's a single player simple game.

 

[SmokedMeat]

In an ocean of sequels and remasters it's great to see something new getting a positive reception.

 

[SmokedMeat]

It's a new game that's not pixelated. Of course it makes noise on gp. They have nothing else

Warhammer Darktide looks great. Pretty sure it's also Xbox console exclusive.

What? Come on dude you guys gotta give a rest already.

 

[Larxia]

Game is gorgeous on Series X as well:

Biggest pleasant surprise of the year.

That chromatic aberration though... It really makes no sense to me how we're increasing resolutions, rendering techs etc to get better image quality, but then put chromatic aberration on it to ruin everything.

Ehh, no PC? Then, dirty console peasant be your title.

Oh oops forgot about PC, what colour is that?

You mean the rhetoric from MS's own legal president?

Link to direct quote please where ms president says that Xbox has no games.

 

[Vyse]

Just finished. Really enjoyed the game.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's all hyperbole, just like the emotionally damaged bait.

One thing is for sure, people would be calling for him to be banned if he made the same comments on here anonymously.

 

[abacab driver]

This game scratches the Conker itch for me.
Proof that if a game has the balls to be edgy (without taking itself seriously) in this climate, people will gravitate.

Nice. I beat it but haven't started cleaning up achievements yet. I did warp to a planet post ending but noticed you don't get Lezduit or whatever? Lame.

But it would be nice if they get a sequel and get a bigger budget.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Probably the "PlayStation has more exclusives" comment which doesn't mean shit.

 

[Captain Toad]

This is the biggest thing GP has going for it now? Hmmm

Agreed with this. It's pure old-school styled fun.

 

[analog_future]

It's also the biggest game on Steam.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

This game has some beautiful design but its desperately missing HDR...Would enhance it's visuals massively.

 

[Griffon]

Too bad this wont make the devs richer for it.

 

[adamsapple]

Too bad this wont make the devs richer for it.

Why ? Game Pass deals are made different, some games get their development cost paid, some get a lump sum, some get residual amounts for # of downloads.

In either case, this is still selling well on Steam and it's up for sale on Xbox as well for those who want to keep it or don't have Game Pass.

 

[Punished Miku]

Too bad this wont make the devs richer for it.

The devs are paid salary employees. Literally no games with a publisher enrich the devs directly.

The publisher got paid for the GP deal. And it appears they made the right call. A 61 MC game would have just bombed with very few willing to give it a chance, therefore no word of mouth buzz like it has now.

 

[FBeeEye]

This game is like the slightly overweight chick at last call that ends up being pretty decent in the sack.

Xboys still waiting for marriage material. Maybe in 2023. Or 2024 since Phil doesn't mind delaying games while he plays his Nintendo Switch.

You're late bro 2nd page, glad you found it in the end but.

Dude definitely has a type I guess lol.

 

[GHG]

What? Come on dude you guys gotta give a rest already.

The game has an 11k peak, 8k in game now. I'll leave it to you to figure out if that's notable or not.

It's a very quiet time in terms of releases.

 

[Pelta88]

You mean the rhetoric from MS's own legal president?

Microsoft's submissions to the regulators are going to reverberate around gaming for a really long time.

#1 on Game Pass, #2 (formerly #1) best-selling game on Steam. Happy for the folks over at Squanch games.

No denying that, I'm sure they will be happy as well.

Another useless steam chart argument.

If you want to use that chart, maybe multiply the number of those users by the numbers of refreshes that steam chart does.
That is how many players played the game that day.

Not every one does play the game in 1 hour time.

 

[ANDS]

What the fuck else would I mean by last update?

Relax. Just clarifying for the crowd at home; I for one am looking forward to the next update thread, perhaps when a patch drops or the next day that ends in a "Y."

[Jormatar]

Seems like people are starving for any new game in Xbox ecosystem. Happy for the devs!

 

[TrebleShot]

Constantly crashes on PC

 

[Kiya's Guard]

I thought this flopped because of the "silly humor" and constant ramble of guns

 

[rofif]

so what's up with the performance? also no dlss and shader stutter?

 

[analog_future]

You can always not click on the thread if you aren't interested.

TikTok streaming has really helped elevate the AA/Indie game experience like Stray and High on Life from my observance over the weekend. No need for direct streams or expensive equipment just flip your phone camera around and go. I witnessed the same thing with Scorn where it was just random stream after stream of people playing live on my FYP.

 

[deriks]

Recently Rick and Morty showed at Half in the Bag, so I thought "they have to be on the cartoon", but still didn't happen. Then I saw this:


yep, my life is complete now

If I was married to God of war ragnarok or horizon forbidden west I would be out cheating with the girl you described and actually having a good time...

...more cushion for the pushing I guess!
