Hope the shootings solid, will make or break the game for me. Dunno if I'm better of waiting on the 60fps patch with zelda out next week. Have Arcane said when that's due?

Real talk, I'm hoping to have a decent time with the game but the fact that they're still blocking footage 12 hours before release is not inspiring any confidence...

Who is this?
I expect the shooting to be roughly on the same level as DEATHLOOP with a bit more polish. Would feel silly to have it otherwise; like no way is it going to feel as good as something like THE DIVISION or even FAR CRY, but I'm putting my money on it being "good enough" to not feel like a distraction.

Redfall Review - Noisy Pixel
Noisy Pixel's Redfall Review from developer Arkane Austin and publisher Bethesda, available now on Series X and PC
noisypixel.net
"Redfall is an anomaly because a game with this good of a team behind can’t possibly be this bad, and yet, it is. There are these drips of looter shooter, RPG, and multiplayer elements sprinkled throughout, but none of them work together, delivering a messy and almost incomprehensible experience. Still, gunplay and exploration stay consistently fun, thanks to the satisfaction of taking down enemies and the level design. That being said, the single-player campaign is dull, but the multiplayer campaign could provide bouts of fun comprised of laughing at the strange AI behavior or the fact that no one can find keys to a door."
4/10

Coming in hot like Emilia Clarke would at least be enjoyable. Redfall is coming in hot more like this though:

I think some of these Xbox diehards like Colt, Andrea, etc are going to need to be on suicide watch after last week and this week if this game flops in reviews
Then you have the sections where the reviewer complains about not being led by the nose to an objective. I imagine more than a few reviews are going to be like this, but this review screams like a game that needs to be played yourself if even any part of it looks fun.
. . .also laughing at the idea that good development teams can't make bad games and RF just stumbles along to prove everyone wrong.

Not sure, not mine. Someone posted it on Reddit, saying that it is working with the NZ trick.

Apparently the New Zealand trick is working.
In the search bar for PC look for Region and change to NZ and PC should not even need a restart
At least thats how it worked for previous titles.
Edit - Just changed mine and got a 94.3 GB update to the preinstalled game

Great Googly Moogly.
It's Atomic Heart all over again. Preload, Update, Update again, Glad I don't have internet caps (Yet) but Microsoft must be advocating for them.

It is still early morning in NZ though. Game isn't available until noon so even if it does work it will be a few more hours.

First impressions (XSX):
- 30 fps is painful after so many years playing performance mode;
- game is kinda ugly even compared to other similar games like Atomic Heart… in performance mode;
- surprisingly there’s very little aim assist and controls are responsive (despite the 30 fps issue);
- haven’t unlocked powers yet.
Will try the PC version once it’s available, hoping for 1080p60 med settings.

I'll be getting it on PC but I'm kinda worried because of the recent PC releases having performance issues. I've had no real issues with Arkane's other games on PC (played Deathloop on PS5), so maybe it'll be alright.

A few people who played the game PC are reporting heavy stuttering issues. (RTX 3080).

For sure will try it on PC and likely would have played it on Xbox if it had 60 fps option but I do not let reviews get in my way of forming my own opinion

Bethesda have the same embargo for all games. Doom 2016 had rhe same and I doubt anyone claimed that game is shit.

Got about 40 mins in before the servers died. Game is pretty rough. Gunplay at 30fps feels horrible and the motion blur they use is seriously off putting. Dead zones make it worse. Lighting is about the only good thing it has going for it visually. Some textures appear very flat at times. It would take a very good campaign and a much better gameplay loop to redeem this for me personally.

That doesn't make it a good practice or give consumers any more faith in a product. I stand by what I said
