She's a discredited advertiser. Fine with me.
That's not everyone though.
That's silly hype that has always existed. But there is a difference between fans, and people being "paid to" with every game said brand puts out with the illusion that it's grassroots fandom.
I feel like the article was written before the direct. Should've been scrapped.
If you say so. I've never even heard of this girl, and no one hyping up Hi-Fi Rush is doing it before the game even released.
This is definitely not true.. it's over once Satya stops dumping money into the Xbox division and according to Phil and himself, that won't be anytime soon.
Bro. People in the thread gave some more of her history. It's not isolated to this one thing. But do you, playa. All of a sudden heads in the influencer sand we are.
I use game pass or buy the games I want where there's xbox play anywhere.
They are totally Gamepass system sellers.
I didn't vote halo infinite as goty, but ok.
I'm not sure what you are talking about. We need to see how microsofts year goes and just maybe it will be reflected in their quarterly results.
Also, I don't know what game you would vote as game of the year? Mine was elden ring last year and returnal the year before.
Ever thought you might have bad taste and your opinions are trash?
It's been "looking like this" for years. How anyone can trust that MS will finally figure it out is beyond me. I hope they do. Really. But they have lost the benefit of the doubt. I hope for the best, but expect the worst.
Did you even read the first sentence of my post? This is when you know communication is literally pointless. The first sentence is literally just acknowledging that she's a sellout, according to you. There's no head in the sand. Totally acknowledged it up top, first thing. You ignored the rest of the post though lol. Rough.
I'm not disputing it and I don't care. Whatever minor influence she has is a joke compared to the massive onslaught of GOTY shilling that happened literally all year for God of War and Elden Ring, sometimes a year before it even CAME OUT.
Yes. I read the condescending "if you say so..."
Indeed, a lot of what ifs. But if they were third party on all systems or exclusive to PS, I would be hyped for them either way.
It will get clicks and feeds warriors, they knew what they were doing
That's not condescending. I'm literally acknowledging what you said lol. There's no data or proof. Just going off your word. I didn't even contest it.
You generally seem reasonable with your posts, but your recent posts seem very, very odd. It's almost like, the only criteria a game has to reach for you to consider it any good is, that it has to exist on Xbox and it has to be exclusive. If it makes you feel better to think that "Xbox" only gamers are somehow more sophisticated compared to PS gamers, then go for it, lol. You can have that.
Article mentions Hi-fi rush and the showcase......
My bad then, broski. Tone is definitely hard to parse over the internet or via text.
Elden Ring was my GOTY, by quite some distance. I'm also enjoying Hi Fi Rush.
Maybe both our opinions are trash, but at least one of us doesn't feel the need to exaggerate and create sales pitches from said opinions when they involve a particular brand.
They stopped teaching rhetorical questions in school?
I voted Neon White for best indie of the year and it's not even on Xbox. We're focusing on Xbox here because of the subject of the thread. Stray is worse than many indies last year, in my personal opinion. It was a banner year for indies.
Tone is tough, fair enough. No worries.
HFR has executive producer that was the director of Resident Evil 4, and game director is the director of Evil Within 2. AND ITS ACTUALLY OUT SO PEOPLE CAN PLAY IT. God of War Ragnarok is from a director that has never directed a game, and was hyped up as GOTY for a year prior to release.
I feel like I don't speak English sometimes. I'm "getting at" the same point, over and over. Whatever extremely minimal shilling going on for HFR is a single grain of sand compared to the desert of extreme shilling that preceded the release of Elden Ring and God of War. Anyone trying to shame people calling HFR a GOTY candidate is a literal clown.
We both deffo have trash taste and opinions...I just see one of us exaggerating our sodium levels when the opposition to their their particular brand does something right and deserves some good praise.
Thank fuck for Bethesda. The games they would have had anyway.
I'm not saying HFR hype should be equal size to those games. I'm saying anyone trying to shame people for calling it a GOTY candidate is a clown. Do you understand what I'm saying? Someone called it GOTY and I saw multiple comments about how its too early to say it and Xbox gamers are idiots or starved or shills for even suggesting GOTY this early, or many don't even play the game and say it. It's pathetic trolling. The rest of your post has nothing to do with what I'm even talking about.
This is where subjective opinions come in because I feel the polar opposite. It is like people have different taste in things. Hi-Fi Rush is almost like they made a game tailored specifically to me. I thought up a game almost exactly like it a few years back with similar art style and everything.
I'm not talking about
remember_spinal
. GOTY candidate to me means it will be in the top 10 games of the year. On the short list for GOTY. It's fine to not agree with that. I don't care what people's opinions are.
I'm not talking about
I'm talking about people saying Xbox gamers are shills, haven't played the game, or too starved to have a valid opinion, or that it's not appropriate to even suggest it now (while everyone is fine suggesting Spider Man 2 even though it's not even OUT). It's obviously appropriate to suggest GOTY candidates FAR BEFORE ITS OUT, but a game that is already out people are arguing you are doing it too soon? I'm calling out trolling. Dumb ass trolling. That's it.
What some consider GOTY others may not
A few did, I responded to it and then I have had to explain it 10x since then.
