Xbox sites giving highest scores. How unusual
They still have that ESO DLC, it was in your killer 2023 list
It really doesn't.Doesn't matter? I've heard it all. On to the next mediocrity fail and comments of "it doesn't matter".
You guys never learn, always so desperate. I doubt you even believe that nonsense yourself.It really doesn't.
Starfield will be the Game of the Year 2023 and the Activsion-Blizzard deal will go through soon. Literally the biggest publisher of this industry, owned by Microsoft.
It will be a good year. One mediocre game, which was in development before MS acquired them, won't do much damage.
Sony had Destruction AllStars or 3rd party exclusives (funded by Sony) Forspoken. It happens sometimes.

Bethesda is been in a bad shape since fallout 4. People shit on square enix but we all know what to expect from their low-mid budget games, because they’re exactly what you expect: 70~80 games and are not massive investments.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.
I'm sure Arkane wanted to cancel this turd years ago but it was too late after the project was sold to MS during the acquisition.MS destroying studios alright.
The gamepass touch.
