OH MY GOD THIS IS SO BAAAAAD

 

 

[SMD]

Massive jump in frame rate here

[RubberJohnny]

Pentiment was supposed to be some sort of Disco Elysium thing, right? Josh Sawyers passion project.

 

I feel kind of bad for him, because it doesn't impress.

[MidWalian]

lol

[Benny]

Someone will complain about the framerate on this too.

[Mr Do 71]

LOL

[ilpostino]

I was hoping this was another Procession to Calvary, that game's a laugh.

[Simmy]

Wow

[Harrisown]

All these game are just delightful….I’ll let someone else play them

[friedgold]

Now that looks pretty interesting

[teddymeow]

Why is this 95 minutes long?!

 

This could have been a 30 minute thing with most of the stuff shown so far being at the end in a 3 minute sizzle-reel!!

[klargon]

Starting to think I just don’t like games any more

[Fletch]

I like to give things the benefit of the doubt but this doth not woweth me. 

[Stanley]

This medieval game looks good 

[SMD]

Grounded?

[Uzi]

LOOOOL

 

I actually want to play that

[RubberJohnny]

I don't think I need to see any more from Grounded.

If you have gamepass it isn't. 

 

So far I think it's fucking worrying. It's my nightmare of what Gamepass could effectively become - you get decent enough stuff with nothing ever being truly memorable. Everything looks fine. 

 

But I don't want fine. I want something to blow my balls off.

 

2 years in, and yes I understand the world's a very different place from what it was, but I really would have expected one of MS's acquisitions to have shown me something mind-blowing by now.

 

And I haven't.

 

 

[Fargo]

Waiting for the Bond theme to play #wheresGoldeneye 

[SMD]

I tried the preview but honestly just felt like any other survival game

[Graham S]

Pentiment also looked ok to me, more interesting than another standard Obisidian RPG. 

[Mitchell]

Christ, I actually thought there was a bug on my screen, you fuckers.  Unsubbed.

[Captain Kelsten]

The medieval game looked shit until he nutted a monk, that made me chuckle. Then it went back to looking shit.

[Simmy]

We have 30 minutes left to turn this around

[Captain Kelsten]

'We want to make Honey I shrunk the kids the game'

 

Cool

 

2 years later

 

'Fuck it, lasers and robots it is'

[SuperFamiTom]

Can anyone recommend me a good forum where people actually like video games? 😜

[glb]

Grounded looks like a fun romp

[Hodge]

Gamepass is quickly becoming the Netflix of gaming, lots of mediocre to poor content!

Why is it that the best game revealed so far during this period, The Plucky Squire, comes from a bloody indie developer.

 

MS has been building Game Pass into a fantastic service and more power to them. They've been investing in offering true backwards compatibility all the way back to their first hardware platform. More power to them.

 

But after all these years, MS's first party software offering is still in the toilet. It's like they've forgotten how to offer up compelling first party software or they just don't care anymore. Nothing they've shown here instills anything to look forward to that looks unique and offers something only Xbox can.

All the conferences have been a bit shit to be fair. Gaming is a massive business now so people are afraid to take chances with something new. 9 out of every 10 games look the same as they’re made with unreal and most just rip off past successes because of focus groups and the like. 
 

If studios try anything new, it’s probably going to end up being shit as there are only a few real geniuses in the industry.

Yeah I recommend you try Resetera, that should be more up your street. We are the internet's second cuntiest forum, don't forget.

 

Also, we do like games.

 

Just...y'know. Good ones.
