In all seriousness I'm kinda sad how things turned out with this game. Feels like the studio is for sure done and it's all due to MS lack of competency as project managers

tbh it's just fine. the problem is that it should've been much more.
It's exactly the first game again... maybe even more boring with less personal story.
To me, the first game is like a poem. I even dropped it on easy because gameplay sucked so much in the first game

Hellblade 2 Day 1 EU Peak CCU record - 3,982
Some really unfortunate comparisons:
Hellblade CCU record - 5,653
Redfall CCU record - 6,124
Worse opening on Steam than the first one.
The game has certainly sold less on Xbox Series compared to the first on PS4(smaller Userbase/Gamepass).
Looking at these two factors, it seems that the game is trending to sell much less than the first one.
Considering Ninja Theory had 20 employees on the first one but beefed themselves up to 80~ for the second, this game certainly was multiple times more expensive than the first one, so the $20 higher pricetag on the game compared to the first one is NOT going to offset the difference. This is looking grim, especially since we know that Gamepass is not the cushion it was once said to be.
Apparently work on the game hasnt even started when the first trailer was revealed and Ninja Theory is a studio made of only 80 employees. Meanwhile the biggest studios have hundreds.
Unreal Engine 5 probably eats lots of resources of development
Well the usual scale for game reviewers...
So it makes sense.
A Game's quality is proportional to it's price. It's hard to say a 8.5/10.0 game is good enough when the ultimate edition is $130.
They have 140 employees, that is about the same size as Sucker Punch.
I mean, I want more short, very high quality games like this.
So I don't want this to fail.
The only disappointment here is that it's just hellblade 1 again and we were hoping for more.
But I've seen first 30 minutes and I want to play it now.
edit: Why is her face so weird. The actress tries to much. She looks like a horse

OH of course. I hope most know tht. I was specifically talking about all the schill pro Xbox sites being listed in one area. I mean we already know for Starfield they sent codes to only those sites to inflate the initial score.

Haven't you seen the fanatics say the combat is really fluid? I'm pretty sure they are brain dead.

Fluid as in you only need to press one button over and over again and it fluidly does it all.
not even that bro. Don't you see the animation skips when the animation is triggered? It's jarring.

I hvnt looked at the videos because I hvnt had interest. I bought first and it was a corridor walker with basic, bs bosses and combat so I hvnt been interested. Damn if thts what it's doing thts crazy
This is funny. This idiot is either lying that they didn't know, or just got massively ripped of by Microsoft and is clapping
Check the video on the tweet Dr bass quoted. It's crazy how terrible that combat looks.
