GameSpew: Earlier this month we got to experience the power of the Xbox One X first-hand. Here are our initial impressions based on the handful of games we played.
Atlantic City - America’s Playground is the dark and dramatic sequel to the glitz and glam of Atlantic City – Boardwalk Paradise.
The combat in this and ESO are some of the worst combat I have ever seen in current games.
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".
Just like I’ve been saying.... it really needs to be seen in person, on a 4k hdr screen. It’s gorgeous. Can’t wait til mine arrives.
This will be fun on November
MS did pretty well with the One considering it was a weaker and more expensive platform, 30 million, not too bad.
But now it has the best console hardware by some margin, for me it's a much easier sell for MS, making up for past mistakes, MS you are well and truly forgiven.
Summary, X1X is a beast blah blah beast beast and more beast.. future 1st & 3rd party beast ... beast.. blah blah blah beast.
1440p dwellers, response... I want subpar 4K games not a 4K beast with fangs dripping blood ozing through my 4K TV with HDR.
PC gamers response is similar to Hodor except they say PC, PC, PC ... and pretend pc is less expensive when it cost double the price for similar results as the X1X...... Hold the Rigs.. hold the Rigs..
This article is to short for anything concrete other than beast. Beast.. beast.. blah blah beast.
Pretty exited. Cant wait for November!
