Senua's Sage: Hellblade 2 Debuts at 23rd in Xbox's "Most Played Games" Rankings; 6th Most Played Game Pass

You mean exactly like other first party games such as Returnal last year....

Thank you.

Revisionist history, persecution complex...this game sure hit a nerve with some ppl.
But also, "AAA" is just marketing fluff used to sell product.
Hey, tell that to the devs. They consider the game they made AAA.
 
Is Hellblade 2 a AA or AAA game?
For MS's CFO it is an AAah 🙀 game!

Hey, I liked The Order 1886 so I am bound to like this and I have it on my XSX, so I will see (still need to get to it).
 
So you both show me a Game Awards video announcing HellBlade.

When multiple posters in this very thread make it out to be a huge announcement at Series X reveal.

Yes I see the timestamp of a game being announced. So? Every game gets an announcement?
It was literally after Phil Spencer spoke.....he literally introduced the clip....huh?

You proper simple, lad?



Game Awards 2019. Big Series X reveal. Straight into Senua trailer. Literally the first fucking game fat Phil talks about for the console. You don't get much more 'this is a showcase for our new console' than that.

God, I wish we had access to how Xbox measures the success of its studios, how a game needs to perform, and for how long.

I'm not talking about the PR bullshit, of course.
 
Yeah what's the deal? The combat and graphics almost makes up for the snoozefest walks and boring puzzles. I don't care that it's sometimes automated, the combat is pure adrenaline, wild, brutal, immersive, gory, awesome, I love it! I haven't finished it yet but I think I'm getting close and that makes me sad.
the combat is literally quick time events masked behind 'blocking' and hitting the Y button. There is essentially no strategy to it. I actually can't believe they dumbed down the combat from the original. You at least had to think about your enviroment and kite enemies around so you wouldn't get surrounded.
 
Not really surprised. It's effectively a sequel to an art house game where the combat was just ok and a lot of visual puzzles. But it sure does look pretty. I'm planning on checking it out after I've finished FF7 Rebirth but I'm a completionist and holy crap does that game have a lot of things to complete.

This is gaming whiplash to the highest degree.

That is going to be quite the experience. Lol.
 
I bet the actress who plays the main character is upset. Probably at home, snarling her teeth to the point of having her gums exposed.
