You’re not the first and won’t be the last to convey those sentiments.
I’m having a blast with a couple of the games that many have written off. It’s the best time for gaming on xbox hobby ever.

If Redfall is "incomplete " than so is Jedi Survivor.

True, more and more games unfortunately can be called unfinished in how they release lately. A missing framerate mode is a pretty big deal though. Content complete, I agree, but not complete in how they intended for it to launch. The plan clearly was to have two modes at launch.
It’s good to see people realising again that 30fps isn’t the end of the world. It’s not ideal when you’ve played lots of 60fps games, but you can adjust to it. I’ve seen some PS players be all certain about how all of the PS5 games will come with performance modes, well I wouldn’t take that bet so easily.
DS1?
As for the other stuff, I never said I expect the game to be bad though, not once. In fact I expect a good game because Arkane sure has proven themselves by now.
Perhaps I worded it wrong, but Arkane clearly was planning on having two modes in the game at launch, and that is not the case now. In gaming industry now where performance (especially in a FPS) is quite important it’s a big miss. And for those players they can only hope the wait won’t be too long.
Oh it absolutely is in my book, judging by from what I’ve seen of all versions on YouTube.
Reading the DF analysis of that game and then reading reviews tell me everything I need to know about journalism. I feel like barely any review touched on performance or docked points due to how poor the performance is for that game. I am probably stirring the pot, but I feel if Redfall launched an unoptimized performance mode like star wars then it would lose points and it would be a negative talking point about the series x

Dark Souls 1, sorry.
Great game, hailed by many as one of the best games out there. Yet it had a fair bit not just cut out, but badly “fixed” near the end.
And aye, I didn’t mean to say you were calling the game bad. That was a general message to the many I’ve seen that have just dismissed the title based on 30 alone.

If Redfall pulled a Jedi Survivor, the amount of hate they got for delaying a performance mode would be minuscule in comparison.
They did the right thing.
The game is 100% finished. It is content complete. Performance modes are nice to haves.

I would also like to add that Jedi Survivor got delayed a month for polish. People forget that and in the end it was still messed up.
Delaying Redfall for this perceived incompleteness could have resulted in a bug filled release anyways.
Jedi Survivor is supposedly stable at 30. Maybe they should’ve delayed their performance mode.

One more day and we will know how Redfall runs and plays on our own consoles. No need to panic right now, the game is releasing, it’s done. I trust Arkane for making the right decisions as it’s not their first launch.
I want to play the game in the best conditions like everyone else, but I also played a lot of games in worse conditions as in sub-30FPS, with screen tearing and aliasing like most people. It’s funny how we became 60 FPS snobs now like it’s mandatory. It is what it is folks, but don’t let others dictate what is good or bad for you in gaming.

Well crap, these look really good. The atmosphere, even from these snippits is palpable. That is a world i want to explore.
ok i know ps5 sells more than xsx/xss but this ratio doesn’t make sense, unless you are talking about the less favorable markets for xbox (ex: japan)

Exactly. No fucking idea why Arkane never did this. All we saw was garbage punk music with just random shooting.
This guy got me more excited to play the game than arkane did in 2 years.
Nah. Performance mode is fine. Not rock 60 but fine.
Jedi also a 3rd party game. Much harder to get away with a first party.

If the game can be played from beginning to end without needing 60fps, Imo it’s a complete game, as many games that have launched with missing features and added them in the future.

Excited to play Redfall tomorrow but selfishly, wish it was an October game…what a vibe that would be.
Guy pops up with some weird takes. Called Tlou on pc “brilliant” even at its most broken (still is)
I just remember it because I and a few friends were refunding it exactly at the time of the post, almost spat out my coffee.

Looks really good and movement looks smooth. I don’t like the fact that the “stealth takedown” is basically a forearm shot. I must be the only gamer who when it comes to stealth, it should almost always be a silent knife kill. Other than that, seems like it’s running well.
On a related note, I watched the launch trailer for the second trailer and got me hyped for the game this week. And I love the cover song of Black Hole Sun even though I would have liked it to have been Soundgarden’s version.

Same, only part that looked a bit out of place. Just needed a good ol knife stab.

Seems a youtuber uploaded his review 24h earlier by mistake 
guess it’ll be removed soon, there’s a good amount of new gameplay.
