The Medium [OT] Dual Sensed

That is why Game Pass is so important for divisive games, and why games like The Medium can strive right now.

There will be some idiots that want to console war and act like this is from Xbox first party (it is not of course) because of a Metacritic score, I am still super excited to play through this game on my Xbox Series X! I love these types of psychological games, and the graphics and atmosphere with headphones on sounds great to me. And I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate so that I can enjoy with no risk.

Matty with a video on the game and in the title he says it’s yet another middling Xbox exclusive. Truly, anyone that expected this to be a smash hit (after the previous games) was fooling themselves. The games that will get universal acclaim will come, in due time. It takes time.

That being said, when a game manages to score a 9 but also much, much lower it’s clearly very divisive and that to me makes it interesting. Will start with it tomorrow right away, I’m quite looking forward to it.

I was right ! 72 + 10 = 82

Yeah the Xbox-tax is heavy on this game in some cases. Like I said before, will be in the 70’s whilst actually being an 80’s game.

Was anything said about the HDR implementation in this game? I am hoping we’re dealing with proper HDR here.

But xbox has nothing to do with it aside from gamepass lol

This would be like blaming Godfall on Sony

Yeah I’m starting to think some people are actually not very bright, to put it nicely.

It’s landed about where I expected it. The reviews are all over the place, some love and others just find it boring.

So just like a Bloober game. Crazy thing.

People (not you) need to research who makes games first of all.

Ray Tracing is there.

Apperently Ray acceleration works on two scenes at the same time. Double the load.

I was not expecting that much 9/10. Those scores tells you it’s a really great game for those who are into the genre.

I’m listening to ACG review right now and he’s going hard on the game at the start. It looks like the game is divisive like all Bloober games. :man_shrugging:

I hope I will like it.

Anyone else noticing how big-name reviewers are mostly giving it 8-9 while places I’ve never heard of are giving it a 5? Don’t know if that’s a normal thing as I don’t usually look this granularly but it certainly sticks out to me. One of the lowest reviews says it’s laden with bugs while most others say there aren’t any bugs.

Maybe it will turn into Deadly Premonition. Rating all over the place and over the time it gets a dedicated fanbase. Would be cool if the Medium has some sort of charm like Deadly Premonition.

:laughing:

John said the game looks best in HDR.

Very good point and true too. And there’s even a chance it’s not a real exclusive either. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this come to PS5 later on too, like Blair Witch.

Matty should have said The Medium is a middling game, or something of the sort.

I think the positive reviews are rather glowing by comparison to previous Blooper Games, but I was worried that people thought this might be a Resident Evil style big hitter and it’s just not. Made on a 7 million euro budget for starters.
