Reading thru the comments I’m glad I skipped it. Was going to wait to get baldurs gate on Xbox thinking I’d be playing starfield but it’ll be day 1 for ps5 for me
The first reviews I read were gamespot, polygon and ign. I was super hype for the game, had the starfield controller in box waiting for today. Disappointed to say the least. Was doing chest day at the gym right before it launched and decided to just skip it entirely
I paid for early access and bought the starfield controller but after all the bad reviews I can’t bring myself to play it lol
Edit: MS did refund me for the premium bundle (i hadn't played it yet) was quick and easy
I just finished last of us 2 last night and I picked up dead space for Xbox on sale yesterday. Was considering armored core but I’ll hold off on that for a bit I read dead space is really short and I’m also trying to keep things cleared out for starfield
I have a series x so doesn’t effect me but I think I’d be fine w some compromises if I had an s. I have a ps5 but always get cross platform on Xbox, I’ll be preordering this
starfield, blasphemous 2, alone in the dark (I live in louisiana), armored core (want to give series first shot) and wow plucky squire looks really cool
look MS put a lot of work into backwards compat, it's pretty incredible. In fact i'm starting to collect physical xbox games (just ordered KOTOR for OG xbox today) as keep sakes. Got that hyperkin duke on order too, i'll be playing like it's 2003.
@Cikajovazmaj glad someone will enjoy em. I wasn't even expecting big triple A or anything but maybe just a game that so much as warranted a review on here...
@Tharsman Man that punch gun. at first i was confused thought maybe it was to interact with something? Then was like wait...is this.. the weapon? but yea i got stuck a few times in a row trying to punch fun my way out and that was it, too much other stuff to play
just give us a 20 hour, focused platformer like the first one. you don't have to reinvent the wheel here. people would love it, it doesn't have to be a triple AAA open world 100 hour adventure.
Edit- also just a reminder that they bought rare and got what, exactly? Kamino (terrible), nuts and bolts (why!?) and Sea of thieves (not bad but really they only thing they've done)
@Magabro i don't think you read the article bro. The point is it's unusual to take this long and they have lost staff who was working on it out of frustration
@Magabro I understand that, but that's not really the problem. The problem is now we're learning they haven't actually made any progress on those games they announced well in advance
Honestly fellas i went and bought a ps5 this weekend, ff16 got me. I still feel like the big X is my main, and I think it's the better console (things like quick resume, the massive backwards compat, etc.). But they just cannot get games out the door. Idk if it's they have this massive bureaucracy with overlapping, competing roles, no oversight, or what. But the fact is they learned at the reveal of the xbox one this battle is won and lost on games, especially what games only you can offer. A decade later they still haven't solved it. Loved Xbox from the day i got my og at christmas and booted up Halo with the Duke in hand, but enough's enough.
I'm honestly starting to consider buying a ps5. I had to ship my new switch off to nintendo for repairs. I was pumped for Xbox this gen and i'm looking forward to starfield. But, you know what, ff16 looks good. Bloodborne looks good.
I’ll be playing tears of the kingdom and triangle strategy. I need to finish re4 on Xbox tho (I was on chapter 15 when Zelda came out) and would like to try alone in the dark preview
