I have plenty for you my friend! it was quite the haul!
How the hell is Xboxera an accredited review site? They gave it the highest score so far. I swear Xbox games have been boosted by Xbox fan sites since forever
This is so uncalled for, when are you going on leave again?
Take that wannabe scumbag @Papacheeks with you, please.
No place for haters like you two on this site.
I love immersive sims. Probably my favorite genre. But they're exceptionally hard to do well, let alone achieve good sales and reviews. As a result, the entire genre feels like it's hanging by a thread, held up by probably less than five developers and constantly under threat of being compromised with GaaS-y mechanics to increase engagement.
That's the worst takeaway of this dud, IMO. I've read that a different team developed Redfall than the one who did Prey, so perhaps some hope remains Arkane can get back on their im-sim track. Still, Arkane's pedigree is really coming into question between this and Youngblood, and I struggle to imagine how MS/Bethesda greenlights the kind of fully-fledged sequel to Prey its fans would want.
It increasingly feels like MS has paid essentially peak price for Bethesda, but a version that's on substantial decline. I shake my head at Bethesda management's attempts over the last few years to to spin storied developers and their strengths into these awful caricatures of their former strengths that only exhibit the veneer of an im-sim or otherwise something more substantial, but are really just mediocre, also-ran GaaS titles.

Are Phil’s arse wipers finally cracking? Humans can only take so much punishment I guess.
I doubt it. Those guys are going down with the Phil ship. He's been lying to them for almost a decade and they haven't abandoned him yet.
This trash game was delayed a whole year and still came out this bad and broken lol
This must be the longest run of bad press for a platform holder, ever.
They better have a 10/10 showcase

Pretty sure Atari had it worse back in the day. Sega may have had it bad after the Genesis add-ons as well.

Don't see a showcase anywhere close to 10/10. I'm 100% expecting Sony's showcase to slaughter it. For all the people who shitted on Hi Fi Rush, it's looking like a masterpiece compared to Ghostwire, Legends and Redfall. lmao
I was holding on saying something along those lines....
Does the bad news ever end for them? Morale must be low at Xbox right now.
I wish Icon-era was an accredited review site
Lmao the green rats are so starved for games they're eating upper management.
Also "pre-acquisition" is hilarious. This is most definitely post-acquisition: Phil Spencer came in and told them to cancel the PS5 version and then rushed this shit out the door. It has MS' fingerprints all over it.

We might eventually invest in an editorial style website, it would be linked to here but separate.
Mainly because I doubt we would get onto metacritic as a forum.
