It's neither. It's its own fascinating mess. And it's been patched up as best as it can for now. Just give it a shot when it's cheaper.

Didn't play either, but Mindseye literally looked like it barely worked and it was super bare bones as far as gameplay goes. When I saw the chase sequence where you could hold down the fire with the assault rifle without ever needing to reload the gun, I knew how incredibly half assed that game was.
Redfall looked like it could have been an okayish co-op game for 34.99 price tag on release. It had major flaws but I heard some people still having some fun with it.

Concord isn't part of the discussion because it is the worst game and would win the poll easily.
This thread also stemmed from the ninja gaiden 4 thread where this topic idea came to be.

Only played Redfall but it was almost a good game. They almost salvaged something from whatever GaaS crap it was originally going to be, but then didn't have the time to prevent it having massive flaws like literal braindead AI and bullet proof leaves.
Mindseye it sounds like they were much further from making an actual working game.

Mindseye was a mess???.......a mess is putting lightly.
Thats very kind of you to say.
MindsEye: How ex-Grand Theft Auto boss’s grand vision became a £200m flop
Lesley Benzies was one of the architects behind one of the most successful video games in history.
www.bbc.com
Then he pivoted, alleging "internal and external" forces had been working to scupper the MindsEye launch.
He told the assembled workers - who'd been informed they faced redundancy just a week earlier - there would be an effort to root out "saboteurs" within the company.
"I find it disgusting that anyone could sit amongst us, behave like this and continue to work here," he said, according to a transcript of the meeting verified by BBC Newsbeat.
Staff who worked at the studio say they were stunned - and not only by the strength of the language. They simply didn't believe him.
Between 2020 and 2024, the company posted losses totalling £202.6m, with its largest for a single year - £59.1m - coming in 2023.
"Leslie never decided what game he wanted to make," says Jamie. "There was no coherent direction".
This style of working "plagued the project from the start", they say, and would be a sign of things to come.
Former audio programmer Isaac Hudd says "mistakes started piling up" during crunch, and says "regressions", where one team would fix a bug only for another to unwittingly bring it back to life, became increasingly common.
"People are burning the candle at both ends and starting to think: 'What's the point?'"
This shit was so bad the companies own employees are suing it.

This wasnt a mess, this legit is worse than Concord and RedFall combined might be the worst high profile launch of a game in many many years.

While I haven't played Mindseye so I can't judge it 100%, I did watch some videos.
It seems far more unplayable than Redfall. Redfall sucks, but not for the same reasons Mindseye sucks.

What the hell? Game went from "high" availability yesterday to "very low" today. The gaming gods trying to tell me something?

I wouldn't say a "which is the shittier game" thread is intended as a "defense" of anything.

Now, that I can sorta get behind, from a camp perspective. But as to Cliffhanger... really. As average as they come. And while John Lithgow can provably be a great villain (he was both terrific and terrifying in the original Dexter), in that, just no.

Who's farts wilts the most flowers?
I would say RedFall because, not for the first time to say the least, Xbox needed a boost and this was yet again another underwhelming release hyped up by the usual soulless ghouls pre release only to be a letdown.
Sprinkle on top yet another Phil Spencer post release tour in an attempt to be sincere. If you couldn't see that the game was shaping up to be something average at best then that's a problem.
