Not review bombed, just bombed. It uses a primitive game engine which can't handle space games, and not enough development time spent for performance mode on series X which is more powerful and lower resource heavy than older lower end PCs which run it at higher than 30 FPS. It's a dumpster fire on consoles and should be taken back amd taken offline.
30 lock is a roadblock for people with better than perfect vision. It's a major deal breaker for me. I will play on gamepass to see if the latency is ultra low. If it is, then it won't be that bad, but if there's any sign of sluggishness, that combined with 30fps will kill the experience. I'm hoping for zero latency which will make 30 frames not that bad. Again latency is what makes the 30 lock a really bad thing so we'll see.
@Nightcrawler71 at the time of this reply, it's still not available, 1h15m after they stated release. Somehow POS Station gets the favoritism once again, although inferior in every way compared to xbox. Give me a break
We'll see. Diablo4 has a low progression curve and too much work to gain considerable power. There's something about it that is less satisfying than the previous releases. If they stick with a more traditional gameplay system and just have more modern graphics, I'm there. If the game is bogged down by power creep, too much grinding, low power curve etc, it'll bomb.
The butchy undercut, among other grotesque character cliches made me stay far away from this one. After seeing post-launch controversy, I'll make sure I look for such bad signs in other products.
Say bye bye to your favorite actibliz games, POS Fanboys. Maybe y'all should have been nicer to the xbox crowd over the years. If you had, then this wouldn't be considered Karma.
Square was willing to lose hundreds of millions if not billions of profits because they didn't want to be called traitors for partnering with North American companies which weren't Sony. It's a widely known fact. They had no obligation to sign the exclusivity deal with Sony and it absolutely blocked them from doubling their bottom line globally. Y'all Sony fanboys can say otherwise, but you can never believe a Sony fanboy on an Xbox site....why do you even come here? Are you lonely or something? What a bunch of weirdos
@Moonglow hey absolutely. My hope is at some point they can get the culling/LOD/ dynamic res in there as a option. We can have it both ways. Performance mode, performance RT, and Quality. Cyberpunk eventually came out with all three modes for Xbox and they work wonderfully. If CDPR can do it, not nearly as huge or funded as MS/Bethesda, then there's literally (LITERALLY) no excuse. Don't care about the differences. The planet wireframes get streamed in and build procedurally (NMS?). There's a hundred ways they can do it. They really need to shut up about the AMD partnership because you have EVEN LESS of an excuse to not do it. See my point? Totally doable. They wanted to rush the game out and that's what this is, imo. No offense at all just my opinion
@MattWithoutFear freakin' right?!!! They come out saying no 60fps on xbox and the next week they say FSR 2. Sooooo...tone down the xbox version to allow for higher framerate. We don't need all of the filtering on xbox. We need frames. Again, not spending a dime on this or TES6 if they don't bring 60 frames. Tens of millions of lost profit right there. A reddit poll showed 14% want 60fps or no buy. If they make 500million on the game that's 70million they lost. Doesn't seem like culling and dynamic LOD would cost 70 million. They will certainly lose a Ton of sales of they don't get those 60 frames on xbox. What a bunch of dummies. And you know what? How dumb os that to even reveal the AMD optimization project to the public of they are still inhaling after say "30fps lock on consoles"? This is trolling the console players!!!!!!!
@dimi only the posted fanboys are holding onto it. Example set by their own president 20 years ago were never grown out of. If they weren't such paranoid trolls today, I'd have forgotten about it completely.
@Nightcrawler71 Pretty sure the series X has just shy of 2tflops higher than the PS5. Also, I believe the stock controller on the Xbox is more ergonomic. Choice is yours. The reason I hate on Sony so much was due to some gaming magazine back in the early 2000s had done an interview with the presidents of the Big Three (Nintendo, Xbox and Playstation) When they asked each president to comment on the competitor product, Nintendo was very graceful by complimenting the strengths of the other two products, Xbox had an equally positive comment about the competitors. But when it came to Playstation, the guy bashed Xbox into the ground. It was just petty and crude and unbecoming of the current King of Console sales at that time. I found the behavior was extremely paranoid and desperate. From that day forward, it prompted the Playstation fans to follow suit and start being g d-bags about Xbox. Always talking smack, even to this day 20 years later. Well look where we are now. Turns out Playstation was right to be paranoid. Their console is now #2 when it comes to raw power and not even on the leader board when it comes to feature set (you mentioned quick resume on xbox). The Xbox has the best offering as of writing this comment. But that same tone from 20+ years ago is still ringing from when the Playstation president had become so foul and set an example of crude behavior which the PS fanbase never grew out of. Oh well they lose. It's over. They can scream and whine to the government all they want. More than half of their most popular games will be stripped from them and become Xbox exclusives forever. They only have 10 years left to enjoy those games until they'll need to either buy an Xbox or an overpriced PC to keep playing those games. Karma.
No 60, no exist to me. They should've done a remake. It literally took me 3 minutes to get this on 4k on my own emulator...for free. But took these guys years? No 60fps and no full remakes of classic games means you don't get sales.
@Bleachedsmiles nah. What happened here is someone who was known for a number of notable works said some really stupid stuff. This means while he "was" relevant at a time, he no longer is. So when someone who's renown has faded thinks he can "call out" people who are way bigger and more relevant than himself says something really stupid, the whole world comes down on that person, in an orthodoxy attempt to usher him forward into irrelevance. It's because he's a has-been, not because he's important.
@armondo36 ok Armando I'll be real with you. Xbox has been spot on on all the forza games at lauch, halo's never been day1-crashy. There's a lot of xbox IPs out there that has had success and hit the ground running. And to be even more real with you playstation games and their exclusives are top tier. That being said, I believe the negative experience and overall expectation at this point is due to a lot of the recent acquisitions that xbox made. Believe, me; EverWild? Xbox and Phil Spencer have ownership of Blizzard? Diablo? Overwatch? COD, etc etc etc etc.? All these great games are in this dude's hands. It's almost as if he's the Trump of North Amercian video games at this point. And it is painful (and sweet FU71NG revenge) when a video game titan like Playstation suddenly may need to wait 1 to 2 years and pay a hefty markup to play games that are "timed exclusives" for xbox COUGH (COUGH!!!), when we used to be able to enjoy them on Playstation without a care...I think the pendulum swinging just sucled Sony into the equation. They have always been heavily vocal about their hateful and hostile nature with their competition. So while I get where you're coming from, F-PLAYSTATION. And yeah I AM a fanboy because XBOX F-ING ROCKS. They got the best of all aspects except for VR. Jist be honest. You like Playstation more than Xbox. And admit that you are mad that xbox got the hookup now. Also. Download Star Citizen for PC.
@armondo36 hey. I don't particularly like Phil Spencer myself. Seriously. His recent press releases have been a nothing sandwich time and time again. But you fail to see the big picture and somehow think it's logical to blame the success or failure of hundreds of studios and development teams on one president. He actually has absolutely nothing to do with the games' development actually. And this Gaffe guy just needs to move on. He doesn't have enough reputation to be throwing stones at this point. Yes I double down. Just because he worked on God of War and Twisted Metal doesn't make his blubbering have any validity. Cmon man! He's a fool and a has-been.

Captain obvious over here lol. no no no... awesome games get delayed and have problems at launch, and need patches after launch. What planet are you from? Please go back to your POS forum so you can be around people with lower intelligence. Your brain doesn't qualify to talk with the big boys. Now shew! Shewshewshew!
@Jesterface84 exactly. He thinks he's trolling like Musk, but when it's coming from such an irrelevant person, it's not even worthy of being called trolling. It's more like whining and nagging. He is only humiliating himself while we all rofl at his lame A$5!
@Bleachedsmiles this guys can say all he wants, he's frankly not important enough to matter. He's just a salty burnout and a hater, jealous he chose the wrong side, envious of Microsoft's success. It's so lame the things he said and nothing good or meaningful will come from it other than us pointing and laughing at his face. If he wants ES6 so badly, why doesn't he just release a better game sooner? Hm? He can't because he's a nobody now. Bye bye!
@UltimateOtaku91 I'll add it's a console war Jaffe is on the losing side of, and badly. Playstation is on the receiving end of the pendulum swing and Karma's a bits!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭🤮 This guy so salty! He's mad the company he works for is falling behind and Spencer's is on top. He's also mad he's not the President of Sony...faaaar from it. Burnt out and forgotten, all he can do is troll those in the spotlight. LOSER!
