The 1st game to come out from Bethesda Studios under Xbox is a GOTY contender? :messenger_tears_of_joy:

The 1st game to come out from Bethesda Studios under Xbox is not even releasing on Xbox for quite a while?

Really excited to play and I absolutely love Arkane, but some of these tens do seem to be a bit suspicious.

Maybe reviewers are just chomping at the bit for any next gen game.

I have the feeling from people praise that there is a good chance to like their games.

Let’s say the trailers, videos, gameplay did not sold any of their games to me yet… and so I never played them.

I will look if there is any on PS+ to try.
Maybe try Prey on PS when it’s on sale? If you have the disc PS5 you can get the PS4 disc cheap (£4.99 per-owned from Game in the UK).

Or if you have a toaster PC, it should be quite easy to run Dishonored.

Dishonored is exactly the kind of game like Deathloop that is difficult for marketing because it plays a lot better than it looks from an outside perspective. Watchers don't understand the cool gameplay they are seeing is not a button smash and requires a lot of creativity to look like it does. Those insane Dishonored runs are still some of the most mind blowing show of skills i've seen in gaming to this day.

It’s easy to say in hindsight but with MS acquiring them , instead of the initiative , they would of suited taking on Perfect Dark.
Think some of the Arkane team should become part of an internal COE team across XGS, would include some of the photogrammetry team from Playground and engine team from ID.

I think it's underway but definitely will take some time.

The one dream combo that I heard this weekend was Blade plus Arkane, I wouldnt be too fussed cause I don't have a massive love for Blade but it could be interesting for others.

I really do like the dishonored series and this seems to have similar gameplay, hopefully I will like this game as well

This thread is becoming the epitome of console wars.
Of course MS had nothing to do with this game. They will also have nothing to do with Starfield or Redfall. MS is nothing more than a money bag. Same with Sony. They aren’t making TLOU. They are paying Naughty Dog developers to do that. Do you guys think MS and Sony have rogue developers that go around and make all these games good? No they are massive corporations that give talented developers money. That is it. They bought people to make games. Stop worshiping them.
The developers at Arkane have made a great game.

I think they are chomping at the bit for any reason to give out a 10. All 90+ metascore games this year are ports or remasters, while there were a whole bunch of new 90+ games last year. Not saying Deathloop doesn’t deserve its score though.
 
True.

I’d say everyone is a winner here.

PS5 owners get to play this now, Game Pass users get to play it in their subscription next year, Arkane gets the critical reception that it deserves, Phil Spencer goes to sleep with a big stiffy knowing he’s picked up a great studio.
Did you just get call Xbox ppl winners for getting to play in one year on Game Pass? Lmfao
 
You seriously think that's the reason people hated the game?
And you seriously think its not the reason for most? Literally the big "criticism" ive seen is over marketing. What else was anyone gonna hate on when the in depth previews about a month ago shut up everyone w more idiotic concerns?
 
I need to know how much you can bench. Depending on the answer you've got the job. If you can beat Booty's 120LBs the job is yours, but I warn you, it won't be easy.

I started the gym again recently after a long period of being a lazy twat and it’s safe to say I was “ever so slightly” tired after ten minutes....

Perhaps I could be his assistant? Make a few suggestions, make coffee , adjust his chair etc?
