just so everyone is aware ( didnt wanna post before embargo) there are some significant bugs with enemy AI and pathing - as well as some very noticeable texture loading issues on PS5 version.

 

[gow3isben]

WHat the fuck?

fuck me... after all these delays. I want to play this tonight but maybe i should wait a bit

 

[MaKTaiL]

LMAO. Lots of people eating crow today.
Between Psychonauts 2 and this, Looks like Microsoft has their first GOTY in a long while.

 

[Vasto]

Xbox Studios looking good in 2021.

Forza Horizon 5 your turn.

 

[tommib]

I knew it. This had masterpiece written all over. Only the sad people couldn't see it.

 

[Punished Miku]

10/10, what the fuck dude

Awesome

That seems literally impossible based on everything I know about this life I've lived.

Maybe everything I've come to know is a lie after all.

Care to elaborate? Is this distant textures when an area loads, or egregious IN YOUR FACE textures refusing to load and creating weird blocky looking assets?

 

[Robb]

Oh man, this seems to be reviewing even better than I expected! Cant wait!

In Arkane we trust!

 

[DonJorginho]

AFTER ALL THE TRAILER/ADVERT JOKES ARKANE ARE GONNA DUNK ON THE DOUBTERS WITH A MEATY FUCKING ACCOLADE TRAILERS LMAOOOOOO

 

[Varteras]

Now for the love of all that is holy go out and buy this game! I'm not a fan of Arkane but I think it's sad that a studio so consistently putting out solid, if not great, games keeps getting commercially shafted!

 

[SaucyJack]

Did you bought the game yourself and reviewed it? or did you get a preview key from the company itself before release date?

If you bought it yourself u are a non paid shill
If you get it form them u are a paid shill

Because guess what happens if you are negative towards there products? they won't be sending you codes any longer and u fall behind your competition.

Don't believe it?

LG monitor?

 

[XXL]

Breakfast has been served

 

[reksveks]

Holy Shit it might be GOTY lol

I said it would be between Psychonauts 2 and maybe Deathloop

The previews were really positive

 

[WoodyStare]

I was going to wait until next year for GamePass but now I'm tempted to buy it for PS5.

 

[Chukhopops]

Woah did not expect that, guess I really misjudged the game. Now to decide before buying full price or waiting a year...

 

[Banjo64]

That seems literally impossible based on everything I know about this life I've lived.

Maybe everything I've come to know is a lie after all.

There's just been:

A. A lot of bitterness over this game, despite it being a timed PS exclusive, due to the MS buyout.

B. A lot of annoyance over Sony's OTT marketing (although now we can safely say they saw a brilliant game and wanted to market it heavily).

 

[Punished Miku]

I guess I have to officially retire "Deathpoop."

One of my best jokes ...

 

[Duchess]

Ah, Sony's cheques all cleared, then

/s

 

[DonJorginho]

WHat the fuck?

lol we were all shitting on it so much just yesterday

WE?

You went out like the hero you are my friend, take a well earned rest.

 

[Elios83]

How did they dare to show new trailers during events, the game was not worthy, wasted time!!
Looking forward to play it after Tales of Arise.
Still I don't think this will be a commercial success.

 

[skit_data]

Between Psychonauts 2 and this, Looks like Microsoft has their first GOTY in a long while.

I wouldn't call this a XGS GOTY though, their impact on this games development could be considered limited at best.
Psychonauts 2 seems like a fine game as well but same argument can be made in that case as well, since the majority of dev time was spent before getting picked up by XGS.

Very good studio pickups nonetheless and I'm sure their talent and experience might help XGS produce some really really good games in the future.

 

[Ogbert]

Sweet.

Can't wait.

B has definitely been an issue for me. Really liked the look of it at the reveal and the initial dev diaries, but then seemed to get less and less interested with every showing.

Glad it appears to be a good game.

 

[IKSTUGA]

What the hell, the game screamed 81-82 to me. I guess looks can be deceiving

 

[Banjo64]

We get each other banned, Dammit.

@Riky still goes lol

This deal sucks haha

We're both shit at the prediction game.

 

[Hoppa]

I'll take the fat L. Not my type of game but that is a fantastic result!

 

[Kupfer]

Why I don't give a fuck about review threads and reviews in general

 

[Ozriel]

Arkane is part of Microsoft. Has been since March 2021.

boot up Deathloop on your console and you'll see XGS or BGS show up.

Try to keep up

 

[reksveks]

I was going to wait until next year for GamePass but now I'm tempted to buy it for PS5.

I am hoping that it comes to the Xbox pc app as a purchasable game, but I might just buy it on the Bethesda launcher via https://bethesda.net/en/store/home

 

[lh032]

10 is a perfect score no? i mean......giving 10 to a game does not seem very convincing? i dont know.

 

[Flabagast]

Arkane is a top 5 studio and has shown it again.

By very far the best studio under MS umbrella, and without equivalent on Sony's side

 

[Shmunter]

 

[BadBurger]

Wow. I wasn't sold that it was any good from the gameplay, it looked like a first person paint by numbers mediocre game. Might actually give it a look now once I finish Life is Strange: True Colors.

Show me where you have posted that in a TLOU2 thread and I'll buy you a cookie.

 

[Markio128]

Woah, great reviews! Maybe this explains why Sony advertised it so much haha. This'll be one to pick up next month, or closer to Xmas.

 

[SLB1904]

Nice surprise. I'll wait a bit. Can't keep buying games and not have time to play. Wishlist for sure

 

[Ogbert]

I'm just pleased to see Arkane get some recognition. Fucking great studio.

Now watch it sell like Herpes.

 

[Roufianos]

Wow, did not see those scores coming. God forbid, I'll have to actually buy this now after taking the piss out of it for so long

 

[sircaw]

We're both shit at the prediction game.

i saw i was hoping you were not going to say anything haha.

 

[Bojanglez]

PSA: If you are thinking of getting it on PS then it is 10% off with PS+ if you pre-order before tomorrow (making it £53.99).

 

[DonJorginho]

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS???

TRAILER TIME BABYYYYYY

 

[Shmunter]

Phils best game in decades…..and it's ps exclusive

 

[Jadsey]

Looks like Gamer Heroes has shat the bed with it's 60 and taken their review down

 

[tommib]

Game looks dope the more they show it. Pure gameplay with really cool aesthetics. It's going to be a winner and will top GOTY lists all over. You heard it here first.

Sorry to be that guy.

 

[lh032]

Show me where you have posted that in a TLOU2 thread and I'll buy you a cookie.

wait did i?

But deathloop looks like 8.5 game, i never expect it to be 10.

 

[Armorian]

Wow.
