The Medium Review Thread

Since Microsoft can't count on a 3rd party exclusive to be their 'Fortnite' or 'Animal Crossing' or 'Zelda', their first party needs to generate it. Bethesda would be most likely candidate, but that's 5-6 years away since Starfield is not going to be exclusive.

That's my biggest gripe with gamepass and subscription services in general. People willing to accept lower quality products because: "hey, it's free!!111" I don't want console/PC gaming to eventually become the new phone app store.


*Do note that this isn't aimed at this particular game as I don't have an opinion about its quality yet, it just gives many apologists the chance to shine.

Lots of you must enjoy paying full price for games that are mediocre and 5 hours long

People do realise that
  1. This isn't a first party title
  2. The game is effectively rendering 2 games at once in parts
  3. If it does come to ps5 it will most likely run the same or worse
  4. Xbox/pc users don't have to pay a cent if they have gamepass
  5. Metacritic is a horrible way to judge a game

I have a PC...pretty sure GamePass isn't free though. It'll cost me at least £1.

Checks out. It's the usual shovel ware for gamepass.

I can't say I agree with this 100%, somewhat agree sometimes. How about the inverse? AAA spend 5+ years and miss the mark completely. I'd rather see some short, medium and long dev games thanks. You also seem to miss that most of these games are smaller studios producing amazing games for the resources they have.

Has there been another game recently which had such disparity between review scores?, i cant think of one.

Yeah it happens when you tend to throw out 9's and 10's like fucking confetti.
Going by reviewers there's an avalanche of GOTG in stores right now.

How trustworthy are these media sites? I'm praying everyday that demo's will become a thing again so I can try before I buy. IGN, Gamespot and the lot can fuck right off. I'd rather see for myself how a game plays than trust them to give a fair and honest opinion.

I enjoyed the game a lot, however I fully understand why others did not like it, so here is my review.

Have they had a banger since gamepass?
hows bleeding edge doing? All but 11 people playing the game last month and before its birthday release no more updates
How did halo infinite look, especially when they actually said for their main flag ship game they were going to release in parts, which NEVER would be a conversation if gamepass didnt exist
How was the launch of sea of thieves, was the kraken lackn?
Crackdown 3?
Seems to me gamepass is an excuse to have piss poor first party content with the 'intent' to fix it later.

Im halfway through i think and so far its quite enjoyable. Its not God of war (best game of last gen) but its definitely not a dud.

Visuals are gorgeous ,controls are RE style so some will love them and some will hate them, atmosphere is PERFECT.

Id say a solid 8/10 and gives me that Alan wake feel which i loved. IMHO its better than the Evil Within games

Just because reviewers hate it doesn't mean they aren't great games.

Crackdown3, Sea of Thieves and Halo MCC are all doing great now in sales and in players.

But keep pretending Gamepass is the problem.

Medium is already doing great and your boo hooing about it isn't going to slow it down.
 
Well that was underwhelming, I feel like Bloober team have been in decline since Layers of Fear (their masterpiece by far).
This was ... not what I expected, and abysmal performances on PC.
Would not recommend.

crackdown was similar to the other crackdowns so if you liked them you would love crackdown 3 if you didn't like them you would like it,
forza horizon 4 the best arcade racer last gen launched on gamepass, sea of thieves is a good game but again depends on taste.

plus other games on there like doom red dead and so on.

not everybody likes games like god of war or uncharted or last of us. people have different tastes so you dont have to shit on everything all the time

I agree with some of his points. Especially the point about this game needing more time.

In some parts of the game, I found myself being completely loss because the game does not do a good job of thoroughly explaining some concepts.

I also found the graphics and presentation to be very inconsistent. For example, some parts of the game looks beautiful and next gen while other parts look like your playing a 360/PS3 game.
 
Serious question, I'm at the beginning of the game at the Niwa Resort and I was surprised by the environment, I don't remember seeing a woodland / forest so well represented, its abandoned environment is really well done.

Wait wait wait Crackdown 3 is doing great ?
That's not possible the game was already dead a week after it's release do you live in a parallel world ?
