Xbox Game Studios Stupidity Hate Thread Game Pass Edition

[xXx: State of the Union]

Just woke up

"Gameplay Reveal" and it's 90% cutscene or gameplay animation shots.

 

[The Demon Pimp of Razgriz]

Indiana Jones, why did they cast Troy Baker. It's off-putting hearing his voice come out of Harrison Ford's face.

At least Troy did actually try to sound like Harrison Ford. Still, I'm surprised they didn't go with Lex Lang, who's voiced Han Solo in Star Wars games for years, such as in Rogue Squadron III and Star Wars Battlefront.

"Gameplay Reveal" and it's 90% cutscene or gameplay animation shots.

Now that's not really fair. They did in fact show gameplay, and the few times they did show cutscenes, they were still in engine or even in game. The only game where they probably showed more cutscenes than gameplay was Senua II.

 

[The Pulverizer]

They also fucked themselves with TNC all on their lonesome. It's been a decade since they've put out anything worth playing. Arkane might be stinky poos but MachineGames is cancer in their own right.

I didn't play their recent Quake expansions, but I've heard no complaints about them. I think you're being a bit unfair. How long could they possibly make Wolfenstein games anyway?

Microsoft IS the Disney of gaming. They are incompetent from top to bottom and they're partnered with Sweet Baby Inc. However, not all studios under Microsoft are dogshit. Studio MDHR and id Software are still kicking ass. I'd say the Indiana jokes has a 60% chance of sucking.

Hellblade is $50, five hours long and digital only. Pathetic.

You are too merciful. What has MDHR done lately aside from Cuphead few years ago? Not to mention people are sick of nuDoom lately.

The switch from 1st to 3rd person looks really off-putting. Overall, the game looked very slow. It's like they knew the game really should have been 3rd person but didn't have the knowledge to make one, so just back to 1st person gameplay they are comfortable with.

It really is becoming tiresome to just hear the same handful of VAs over and over again in games.

AI can fix that.

 

[Raging Capybara]

The last 2 Indy films were vomit-inducing terrible, the last 2 MachineGames games were seppuku-inducing terrible.

I have no doubt this game produced by the biggest hack in the industry is going to be a masterpiece.

The cattle knows Troy Baker.

the last 2 MachineGames games were seppuku-inducing terrible.

Because they were co-developed with the developers of Deathloop, my nigga. Blame Bethesda for not shutting down that god-awful studio. How many second chances is Arkane going to get?

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot, Deathloop, Redfall. That's five fucking flops in a row. And now Microsoft wants to give them the rights to Blade? What the fuck goes on in the videogame industry? No studio that hasn't released a single succesful product in eight years should be allowed to live.

It's even sadder than that. Capeshit is dead, but they think that's a good time to license a Z-tier capeshit to give to their worst studio.

Phill Spencer should just fucking die.

Phill Spencer should just fucking die.

Phil Spencer should be executed in front of his family in order to relieve them of their incredible shame.

Deathloop was somehow a commercial success despite it being canceraids. If we're looking at sales alone, Dishonored 2 and Prey should be in that list. The studio has put out one financially successful game over a decade. I'm not gonna pretend Austin and Lyon aren't two heads on the same conjoined rape baby. Redfall proved Austin is just as incompetent as Lyon.

 

[Terror Sandwich]

I really want Avowed to be good. It has been 12 years since Skyrim, 18 since Oblivion and 22 since Morrowind, and we still haven't had any other developer that was able to replicate the TES series. Bethesda has proven that they are now incapable of making a good game, so I was hopping that someone else would try to take the mantle, and perhaps Avowed could be that game.
But nothing shown so far has made me excited, it'll probably be The Outer Words with swords and magic. Tbh it's nu-Obsidian, so I don't know why I'd expected anything good.

50 bucks for a movie? WTF?

That's what I saw too. The reveal trailer showed a build that was the Obsidian version of Skyrim but the recent trailer and yesterday's presentation really look like The Outer Worlds but with magic.

Phill Spencer should just fucking die.

He is not in charge of Xbox anymore.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Hellblade seems like the epitome of a Game Pass game.

It's a game that's apparently only 5 hours, but I couldn't even get 1 hour into it.

Tbh it's nu-Obsidian, so I don't know why I'd expected anything good.

You say this as if old-Obsidian ever made anything other than janky shit.

I get people got a boner for New Vegas writing, but Obsidian has always sucked ass. Their two greatest games needed mods/outside patches to make them "great".

 

[TVB]

The developer direct was today.

Indiana Jones is first person.......why....

Also, don't expect Indiana Jones to be good if this is who is making it.

Shouldn't the new Indiana Jones game be similar to that of a 90s to 2000s Tomb Raider game, being a 3D platformer? Oh wait, no things needed to be more le edgy, especially how Squeenix made the 2013 reboot.

Because nepotism.

Games Indiana Jones should be instead of a first person game:

- Point and click adventure game
- 2D platformer
- 3D platformer
- Turn based RPG
- Minigame collection
- Match 3 puzzle
- Pachinko

The whole point of playing as Indiana Jones is to fucking SEE Indiana Jones, otherwise you're just playing Colorado Kent, Nazi puncher.

I have been keeping an eye on Avowed and anyone expecting anything as good as even Skyrim should heavily temper expectations. They apparently spent the first three or so years of dev time trying to get co-op to work then scrapped it. The Pillars of Eternity setting is shit, and the world space is apparently going to be closer to Solstheim in size than Skyrim, which is baffling.

I expect the most 5/10 game ever, just like The Outer Worlds.

"As a diverse genderfluid person of color who pays tribute to the natives who used to own the land my gaming studio is on, and who now run the local casino, I think it should be first person because it's easier for me to develop."

Many people were excited about Microsoft buying up all these game studios. You get what you fucking deserve.

Avallone was basically the only reason their weird janky spinoff games were notable at all. Love him or hate him his writing was at least interesting regardless of what he was working on.

Obsidian now is just mini Bethesda with slightly better technical competency but with writing that's arguably on par with their offerings. I am also just gonna say it, I am tired of niggers. I don't want to look at niggers, I don't want to speak to niggers, I don't want to play as niggers, and I certainly don't want to play a game where literally every NPC you interact with is a nigger with a zoomer haircut.

Shouldn't the new Indiana Jones game be similar to that of a 90s to 2000s Tomb Raider game, being a 3D platformer?

Then they couldn't just take all that code they wrote for Wolfenstein and reuse it.

They know it too, is the funny part. That's why the game awkwardly shifts to third person every time you do a special move. Fucking retards. Just copy Uncharted.
