@JON22 My money is on the latter. 2nd class citizens

@JON22 the 2D fighting game is on Switch 1. Switch 1...

Can always add or remove 2 points from any IGN game review based on certain criteria... In this case, add

Honestly, this was probably the weakest month in a long time. The "highlights" are old games and returning games. May was much more impressive with some great new drops.

@RadioHedgeFund people argue that every generation into the new generation comes out.

@FraserG All good. Like the old saying goes "Hey, I don't make the news, I just report it"

@FraserG I was more ripping Capcom for not giving us anything new at all. I miss the old E3 days where publishers were expected to bring the goods on new game reveals. I like what Capcom has done this year with Pragmata and REquiem though. So, mixed bag for me.

So, zero reveals?

First 2 were superb on Game Pass. Looking forward to this one a lot.

@RadioHedgeFund lol 2030?!?! A bit extreme.

@NishimaruX They also said they wanted to keep it affordable but ignore that part. Lol £3000 exaggerate much? You don't need anywhere close to that to play all the top of the line games. But then you argue Steam Machine is a threat using £400 hardware? Pick a lane bud. You just making it up as you go aren't you?

@NishimaruX saying Helix will cost more than Steam Machine and also not be a better value has no place in the realm of realistic. Of course Helix will cost more than Series X at launch. I'd put a lot of money down that it'll still be a 3 digit console. I'm predicting somewhere in the $700-800 range. No chance its over $1000 like this turdsteambox and the Series X is already as good as it.

@NishimaruX It'll be a better value than this pile of crap Steam Machine. This thing is a Series X at best (possibly even lower), which came out in 2020 for more than twice the launch price... Absolutely pathetic

Valve officially jumped the shark in hardware. Sure they got an ocean of money from Steam, but this is insanity. This PC isn't even better than a Series X... No practical person will buy this, Frame and Deck. It'll be only people who buy it as a fashion statement who have no concept of money management and just like burning through dollars. RIP Valve Hardware Department

This statement makes little to no sense with how hypocritical it is. "We need a healthy Xbox" yet you won't release No Rest for the Wicked for it? "Game Pass was slopfest" yet Ori 1/2 premiered on it? No GP has been a great value, especially for people smart enough to find deals on multi month subs vs paying the flat rate monthly fee. But those fees just dropped. This guy just has some real hate toward Xbox (who gave him his big break) and is looking to dunk every chance he can get.

@LeonR Obviously, it didn't sell well on other platforms like I and the article stated. But those who actually played it, like it is the point. If it was as you said, the Steam reviews would not be "Very Positive".

@LeonR Metroid Prime wasn't popular (lock-on mechanics)? Titanfall 1 was a bad game (released at a bad time)? Beyond Good & Evil didn't deserve any accolades (had terrible publicity)? Notice the comments and reviews of people here that actually played the game. 81 on Metacritic and "Very Positive" on Steam. Far from the slop you are portraying it to be. When it all boils down to it, 7 years of dev time is too long/costly for a smaller studio and it's hard right now for all devs. Everyone is making cuts.

@LeonR You remember incorrectly then. It isn't just "do it for you" its more like Metroid Prime aiming meets Doom Eternal and Returnal. It is far from reminiscing rubbish, it's actually quite good and reviews also reflect that. This is not the game to throw your GP hatred at. The problem is much more likely marketing for this game made it seem more niche than it was (people like you didn't know what the game was). GP is great for these types of games where people would try it and find out it's good when they wouldn't buy it otherwise. It's PS5 and PC sales that is much more likely killing it along with a very long dev time of 7 years. This decision was made soo quickly, it likely was already going to happen either way due to dev costs.

The sky is falling, every studio is getting shutdown, oh the hue manatee!!! Breathe folks, these typically sound way worse than they end up being.

@teknium_ There's a lot of contradiction in the gaming community. People just want supper club quality fast food.

Lol, funny how much this story is changing quickly. Just shows these reporters can see smoke but are not reliable on spotting where the fire is. Jumping the gun for clicks, who cares about accuracy...

Problem is people will feel bad, but never actually play the game they feel bad about. Games have to make money for the devs to stay in business. I enjoyed beating South of Midnight. It's a shame development took too long and it didn't reach the audience it deserved. I was hoping Xbox would give them one more shot at profitability but I know Xbox is in a rough spot financially right now. If this is true, I hope they at least repurpose the talent to their other divisions.

@fatpunkslim I think they should delay it 5 years to get more polished...

https://x.com/MikeStrawMedia/status/2066555775720243583 The X post for us normies

Sony and 3rd party devs are still doing stupid stuff like this? Thought we moved past this nonsense... Well, make sure you do not pre-order then for Xbox since they hate you and give you less. I'll be waiting for a good sale or Game Pass now.

Not owning Control (if you didn't play on Game Pass) at $4 is a total crime.

This is why you cannot trust a straight up democracy lol! Every single Transformers game smh...

The 10 I voted for:
JSRF
Mercs 2
Singularity
The Saboteur
LotR Conquest
Gun
The Chronicles of Riddick 1&2
Blur
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wolfenstein 2009

First two were excellent and stunning games! Looking forward to this one.

@InterceptorAlpha lol gyro hahaha good one!

Not offset, not buying. And man, those sticks all bunched up at the top together, this looks like a nightmare for my hands. Touchpads are also crap. Polygon always has the worst takes possible...

Shame it was a long video for "gameplay" that was only a 20 second in-game cutscene. But, Metro never disappoints with the game in the end.

Gamesir's click triggers have registering issues. I've replaced mine twice. Buyer beware. And offset is king!

This pixel art game should be able to run on a Dreamcast. This is 100% a developer problem. Gotta be pretty dense to think it's due to the Series S not being able to run a pixel art game...

Sooo a more expensive way to have PC storage? Can you do it the other way please so we can have cheaper Xbox storage?

Enjoyed playing the first one with my daughter. She'll be excited about this!

The soulless, TCG shopper model looks surprisingly accurate...

RIP Xbox... Plan on the next "console" to simply be a glorified model of a PC. Xbox will likely become more of an Epic Games/Steam competitor as a game/game pass service provider and no longer a console company. Gaming technology is being repurposed for AI as companies are seeing it as a huge cash cow.

@InterceptorAlpha I'd take that to get a new game. Sony just hired them to do ports. They never made a game under Sony ownership.

If you can't even keep your website up, you dead. RIP Highguard

@Balaam_ At least this has a near date (tho delayed yet again...). I kickstarted Little Devil Inside exactly 10 years ago and was promised it on Xbox at launch but they then later went to Sony after being funded and struck a timed-exclusive deal with them screwing us over. But at this point, will it ever come out?

Blame Geoff Keighley. They would've been better off not having his support

Judging by half of people won't get nor appreciate the humor at all, I'd say these are some pretty good reviews.

What genius setup this sale? Why would it be cheaper to buy separately than fully bundled, but then partially bundled plus individual is better than that? smh

@Markatron84 no

@Markatron84 Saying what your hope is, isn't moving the goalposts. His hope will likely not be the reality.

Game was terribly marketed and came out at a bad time in my opinion. It needed it's own space and more showcasing to separate itself from Starfield fatigue. Also think the artstyle they went with was kind of bland.
