The game is not good. I tried playing it and was very surprised how bad I thought it was. I agree with Purexbox - a four is a good score. Starfailed started off rocky and now it's much better, but the game is still not good.
@Titntin I had said something similar on Youtube and everyone tore into me. As if the game was developed in the middle of a war zone, literally. lol. I refuse to give this game a pass because of whatever circumstances the development team claims to have gone through. I played the first hour and thought the game was horrible. That's all I needed.
I played the first hour of the game and I thought it was horrible. Perhaps one day it will be good. I had a lot of stuttering, the controls are real bad and getting radiation damage almost everywhere I walk was frustrating. It has a real dated feeling to it. As if it would have been great about five years ago.
I really want Stalker 2 to be good, but not sure why I have this doubt in my mind. I remember Destin from IGN talking about when he played it at some gaming conference and he said it was rough. I know they have had time to work on it since then, but I keep thinking what could they have changed to make it go from rough to amazing. We'll see. I hope I'm wrong.
I'm hoping the learning curve is not as bad as the first game. The first game was far too frustrating for me. I'll give it a go. In the above video, the narrator says "it's combat is brutal." Not sure I want a FPS Dark Souls.
@themightyant Yes, that's exactly why. When they start adding in "top surgery scars" in the character customization screen, it's time to turn your back and vote with your wallet. Trash game, trash developer trying too hard to be politically correct.
Not Dragon Age, lol. Black Ops 6 for sure on Game Pass. Nothing this weekend on the PS5. Waiting for my PS5 pro to come in before I start anything new.
@themightyant Ahead of COD? Dude, if I saw that in writing, I still would not believe it. Lol. This game is a crapfest. They will never get back the 150 million (minimum) that they spent on development.
On mission three of the campaign. This might be the best campaign yet. It is obvious that a lot of time was spent making this. Very detailed and many things to do. Just saw someone online stating that it seems unfinished. That is the exact opposite of what I am seeing. It looks like a game that has been in development for years. Not sure which game this person is playing. Lol.
I've never played a bad Halo game, but Infinite was exceptionally good out of the three listed. Halo is probably my favorite gaming franchise. Too many great memories. Especially with the first three in the series.
Of course he's proud. He just worked on it and it just came out. He's not going to say "this is the new project I just finished working on and it's absolute crap." lol. Reminds me of when a band comes out with a new album and they say "this is the best album we've ever done." I mean, duh.
Is God of War coming to the Series X? Good Lord, get a grip Microsoft and stop failing already. Figure yourselves out. I realize Microsoft is worth trillions and Sony is not, but the Xbox division is pathetic compared to Playstation. Perhaps Sony should manage the Xbox.
They will announce that they are working on Halo 7 and it's going to be amazing, but it's about five years away from release. I've given up hope on the Halo franchise at this point. I hope they prove me wrong.
Awesome, so this means that Halo 7 will expect to be out in 2028, but delayed until 2030 with launch bugs, updated sometime between 2031-2033. Co-op and 60 fps not possible, unless there is a Playstation port. Then the sky is the limit!
Same score my buddy gave it after playing it for about 10 hours. I'm convinced that Microsoft (and/or the developers they own) have lost the ability to make great exclusive games.
I'm a level 0 so I'm guessing I cannot play it. Honestly, I thought Starfailed was going to be great when it launched. I played about three hours of it and thought it was horrible. Redfail was better.
I pre-ordered one. I'm a tech geek, but I definitely didn't need a PS5 Pro. Just wanted one. Had no problem getting one. Just went on PS Direct and they still have them available so I believe the price ruined it for a lot of potential buyers.

This was real rough on day one. Played it for a few hours and quit, uninstalled and moved on. Perhaps I will try again one day.

Re: Sony's Next Acquisition Could Have A Big Impact On Future Xbox Releases

B.O. 6 of course. Great campaign. Just got greater because I somehow have over a trillion dollars in the game.
