Man Redfall is just getting brutalized in reviews. I'm gonna hazard a guess that aside from the line about a troubled development cycle that their was a lot of pressure from MS to push something out due to lack of exclusives. It feels like a game that needed another year or two to polish and flush out. Campaign is too short, ai is busted, world is lacking depth and detail, systems needed finishing. It's like it had the framework for a large and solid 20 plus hour single player game with good multiplayer but was only halfway done. MS needs to get its shit together. Killing potential IPs out of desperation to get something out the door is a horrible strategy.

MS can't even make a setting app that lets you set an IP address. All is lost.

@Jim >Killing potential IPs out of desperation to get something out the door is a horrible strategyI blame greedy kikes, HR, and corpo slavers. They set these already unrealistic timeframes and deadlines and then some HR tranny or sheboon comes in to breath over their shoulder and ensure the requisite amount of diversity and inclusion is present in the game all while some floor director faggot runs these underpaid fucks way into overtime every single day for three to five years straight.

@Jim >20 hour single playerI remember when paying full-price for a game that took less than 30 hours to beat was considered a ripoff.

@Jim I lost hype for the game half a year back when I saw the lead devs were pronounfags.

@Jim If they were smart, they'd be working on exclusives before the console launched. I can't think of a console that launched with a strong lineup since like the PS2, so they're not alone, just failing to learn their lesson.

@Jim Did you watch the GMan review, pretty much reflects what you're saying.What's the lifespan for any FPS that's anything less than stellar or has porn potential? 2-8 weeks at best.

@Jim Just look at these fucking proportions. I never even heard about this game at all until it was released and the first thing I see looks like a 12-year-old cobbled together some free Unity assets.

@butterdog @Jim Often its less than a week, because no one wants yet another degenerate shooter filled with bugs. There are plenty of mildly popular games, especially in shooter genre, which keep or increase their audience over time. The problem is oversold games which are complete garbage, which lose almost entire playerbase instantly.

@Jim Arcane Studios hasn't made a good games since Prey(2016)They started focusing more and more on diversity with games like Dishonored: Dindu and Nigloop.I guess Redfall is the last nail in the coffin for the studio.

@Jim Arcane should have just made an offline nu-prey 2 to hold people over until the new system shock games drop.Prey 2017 was a banger.

@Jim Did they learn nothing from Cyberpunk?Hell, I guess it's not even that comparable. Cyberpunk had a solid story, length, and game--wise, worked well...it was just broken as shit

@Jim Halo Infinite was dead within months as was Forza Horizon 5. Most exclusives have been delayed and on the rare occasion they have a masterpiece franchise like Ori they barely promote it. Imagine diversity hires and a desire to avoid crunch or unpleasant work environments is killing the studios

@graf @Jim Well look on the bright side it's not like SS has gone anywhere. It's inevitable that a remake/late sequel be slightly gayer and dumber than the original, and it's physically impossible for Energy Systems to go as hard as the MIDI.youtu.be/up80FfzySFA

@Jim They have huge budgets, lots of talent, but they still decide to make boring, generic, shit games. These days I'm playing more indie/small studio games than AAA titles. The Steam Deck is perfect for this.

@Jim In the age of digital updates, I think a lot of studios have stopped caring about releasing buggy or unfinished games bc they know they can just update it later. I was playing No Man's Sky recently and I've got to say, after 7 years of updates, it's actually really fun and probably does just about everything they said it was going to do on launch.In a couple years there might be a wave of yt vids talking about the "Rise of Redfall" or something like that, if and when the game gets updates to actually be good.

@MeBigbrain @Jim That's cause adults now who were gaming back in the 90 and 2000s are gaming now with less time and whining about games being too long. Kids attention spans have been shortened and devs take advantage over that too

@FargleLarkTheSecond @MeBigbrain @Jim Pacing needs balance like anything else. I don't mind a game that's a little short if the work is still there and it's an extremely polished experience or the price reflects the amount of content.I would rather a short dense game that accomplishes it's goals (Ryse Son of Rome on sale) than a long thin string of fetch quests and shitty dialog (*cough* FFXIV *cough*). Ideally a game should be large/long and still dense and detailed (GTA, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring)

@Eiswald @Jim yeah but at the same time that's acceptable practice now. it's totally fine to release a broken or shitty game (No Man's Sky) and take a few extra years to actually finish it. no dev has been called out on this or actually suffered for this decision from what i can see. release a half-finished game with slick marketing and just finish it over the next year or two. if anyone calls you out they're just an evil bigoted internet troll.

@dalcello @Jim because when you're spending like $200 million+marketing on a game it needs to have the broadest possible appeal to try to recoup the budget, so that's how you end up with every fucking game being Destiny

dude they already turned it into three bioshock games about how jews rule and White christians ruin everything and should die to make their daughters happy.
