Ok but who the fuck is "Noisy Pixel". There haven't been any real in-depth reviews as far as I can tell, just some leaks by no-names that were then retracted.

Dude is seemingly reviewing the game early by reading leaked reviews and commenting on their conclusions
Yeah this dude is beyond cringy and awful. His content can be ignored, and you’ll miss nothing.

Oh hell naw! Mattrick era was terrible, they only cared about "tv! tv!" and effing kinect crap. I ditched Xbox One early on in the generation because they focused too much on bro shooters.

The embargo isn't up til 11pm est so they had to take them down. cogconnected is still up. They don't care.
ACG does indepth reviews and is probably the biggest video game reviewer on youtube. Noisy Pixel also gave Forspoken a 4.5/10 so it's not a sony biased site.

Weirdly, this might be true. I dunno though….xbone and Kinect 360 era…
When you think about it, Xbox has been really bad for quite a long time.

This game is gonna flop so hard and arkane deserves it.
But I really need Xbox to get their shit together.

I don't get how Deathloop scores 9s and 10s and then they go to this shit. What kind of inconsistency is that?

Come on, man. I’m no fan of Microsoft or Xbox but the excellent backwards compatibility is reason enough to make it better than that. I have toyed with the idea of getting one for that reason.

I was thinking Xbox management impact wouldn't take effect until the sequels. Looks like they're starting early

Isn't this one designed mainly as a bro shooter?

Makes you wonder if the 360 era was a fluke at this point

Different dev teams. That said, I believe this last team's game was Prey.

These are technically two different teams, right?
Deathloop came from the Dishonored team and Redfall from the Prey team, I think?
Even still, if it's as bad as everyone is saying then a noticeable dip either way

They took it down recently. It was up like an hour or two ago at https://cogconnected.com/review/redfall-review/

I thought Deathloop was a half finished game that totally sucked ass. IGN gave their friend a high score. I honestly do not believe that the enemies in that game were supposed to look like unfinished placement-holder models.

I will try some more later as I forgot to mess with the blur settings and blur is set to insane levels so made me a little queasy trying to trigger vertigoThis sounds all kinds of awful....what happened to Arkane Austin....why did Bethesda ok this game
Sadly even after playing that small bit I am not in a hurry to even get back into it

We've just had so many "prestige developers fall from grace" in the last decade or so that it's hard to be optimistic / excited about really anything these days. Rocksteady is another one that's about to take a hit (would've been this month too, but WB prolonged the suffering).
I'm not an Xbox guy at all, I do have a Series S that I'm keeping kicking around for Starfield primarily as well, so I do really hope it turns out. But if it's also shit then I'll probably sell it and be done with Xbox for good.

They gambled and took a risk. Went from single player small scenarios immersive gameplay to an open world coop shooter. I guess the team was tired of doing the dishonored/prey formula time and time again and wanted a change. It was probably a good learning experience but not what was needed now.

Which makes it all the more jarring.
Prey is comfortably one of my GOATs.
Fear not immersive sim fans though, there's a game that's recently come out that more than scratches the itch:

Really sad, cause the universe and concept is cool as hell on paper. But it's poorly executed.

If Don was TV TV TV, who released a console with no first party games?

ACG is a youtuber who is generally well liked around here. He actually used to post on GAF but I don't know if he is still active.
He uploaded his review early by mistake and seems to have really disliked the game (both the design as well as it having a lot of technical issues).
He took the review down since it was breaking embargo, he will reupload it when the actual embargo lifts (I think later today?)

It’s like when mrmattyplays did it for Horizon FW. Makes no sense and just fuels fanboys.

I don't mind the overall art style but holy smokes those enemies look ugly as shit and just downright dumb.

Honestly though, Redfall never looked good but I can't blame Microsoft, I sincerely believe this game was already in development (Like pretty much everything Bethesda had when the sale closed, so MS can't take any credit or flak for those releases), but seriously, they should have reconsidered this game, the fuck was Bethesda/Zenimax thinking?

It’s been bad since like 2010. As someone else mentioned, they lost their way without Bungie or Epic
At least early Xbox One era had killer instinct, Titanfall, and Ryse

"I think that <<insert game>> was a break out hit for us and our players in all key measurements and expectations. We couldn’t be happier with what the team at <<insert dev>> delivered with this surprise release."

Ah yes, the game that scored 9s and 10s from "professional" videogame journalists, only to be absent from literally every GOTY list.
Deathloop is shit, and Redfall seems strike two for a stumbling Arkane.

Killer Instinct was loved by people too. Why isnt there a new one yet? They should put one out every 3 years like SF and MK

kinect was ahead of it's time, with today power and software it might have worked pretty well, but a mistake to force bundle it

Some of the dumbest AI I have ever played against though I am on a medium setting and maybe turning it up will make them smarter
Side note my crash might have been to them shutting the server down as now I am getting a message saying I am too early and the game just shuts down
Very minor complaint here as I hate when any game does this but killing AI carrying assault rifles should give you their gun but the gun hits the ground and vanishes and you get to pick up pistol ammo, at least early on

Yep. We all know why "critics" and "journalists" highly rated Deathloop. Same reason why trash like Immortality was highly rated. Politics and ideologies. Not because of the quality of the actual game.

Dev was bought by Amazon. No one left to make another one that would be good game.

Well, Deathloop wasn't bad, but it never deserved those 9s and 10s.

Deathloop was made by Arkane Lyon. This is made by Arkane Austin.
Arkane has less than 200 employees apparently. Which means this game was most likely made by around 100 or so people. I don't know how they were thinking of creating an open world game with the scope of Far Cry with 100 people.
