That reseter Xbox era thread is in full brown cult mode, well more than usual. Do they think daddy Phil is going to walk back all the bad news today or something and then make this come back? Even if the show is good most of next week is going to be damage control and spin the reality sets in.

That's exactly what some of them believe

Phil and Mat Booty just sit idly by while allowing their studios do the absolute worst job possible

Hellblade 2 was released on the 2 worst platforms, audiences that wouldn't appreciate that kind of game.
There is no audience appreciative of shit games. You could even argue Xbox would have been their best bet in that regard...

The whole it didn't do well on steam so why bother porting makes no sense.

I wonder what the sales breakdown of the 1st game was, it never peaked more than 6k on Steam but it was a top seller on PSN the month it released.

By the same logic, almost no game does well on Xbox, so it shouldn’t exist there right?

lmao you act like they didn't do that kind of thing on purpose

It could also be (shocker) that HB2 simply isn't a good game.

Not a single thing i saw was GOTY worthy.

As of now i think ff7 rebirth takes it.

Maybe astro comes in clutch. I expect xbots and pc mustard sniffers to have a meltdown if astro takes it.

5 nomination spots, what do we have so far? ff7 rebirth, dragons dogma 2 (?), probably black myth wukong, animal well/balatro/the plucky squire/frostpunk 2 for the indie/aa slot, elden ring dlc, ZZZ might actually get some attention, metaphor refantazio

don't think make the cut: stellar blade, helldivers, palworld, hellblade 2, avowed.

anything i'm missing? maybe cod will get nominated this year

I just don't get why they don't rip the bandaid off. It would help their multiplat sales.
But it would kill their hardware even faster. That's the balance they must be calculating. There's also the obvious battle of egos going on - the fact that they announced new hardware is nuts. Which retailers are going to stock them?
