Xbox Game Studios |OT5| DOOM posting not allowed. Except for posting about DOOM

Hades is 93% and that game runs on switch.

Iā€™m avoiding reading anything about it because the first few previews told too much information about the plot. Donā€™t want to get it spoiled.

Never watch the E3 Discussion with TIm then because he spoiled like damn near half the game it feels like.

:phil_lmao:

Itā€™s been delayed like 5 times (original release date was 2018)ā€¦ so he probably couldnā€™t help himself but finally do a deep dive. :smile:

Yeah, you could have a point there. The combination of shooting and platforming just does it for people. I expect the story to be much better written, more interesting and more in depth in Psychonauts 2 , one of the reasons I appreciate the first one so much. Ratchet isnā€™t exactly known for itā€™s unique and well written stories. It had its own kind of humor and that was good, but if Iā€™m to believe Dunkey and a video Iā€™ve seen of the reboot the humor isnā€™t that great anymore and more aimed at younger people.

Not if it has Meat Circus 2

The first one has an 88 on metacritic, would be awesome if they break the 90 this time.

Everyone always talks about Meat Circus, but when I played in on PS2 it wasnā€™t that bad.

Only then did I found out that not only is the PS2 version the worst version, Meat Circus was patched in that version to be less Meat Circus-y.

90 for PlayStation and 80 for Xbox

:joy:

I wish people would stop this. Thereā€™s no score review bias.

Games reviewed better in the XO/PS4 generation because PS4 had the better, newer games while Xbox had Gears/Halo/Forza.

Thatā€™s it.

Game reviewed better on the 360 era when 360 had the best version and the best 3rd party exclusives.

Thatā€™s it.

I think psychonauts will get a 90 metacritic and will be a pretty lengthy game at 20 hours. This will be the game that shows that Microsoft acquisition is good for devs

Graphically, just based on the video from E3, Psychonauts 2 looks MILES beyond what Double Fine usually does graphically.

LIke it looks GORGEOUS, and it shows what Double Fine is able to do with money.

I mean LOOK at it:

Haha ā€¦ where I mentioned bias?

The whole system of reviewing as per a platform is uselessā€¦

There is no logic of having two different Scores of a same game on two different platforms. There could be only one and that will be, if performance is poor on one then the other

And pls donā€™t assume things and take things out of context.

Dude your post above was literally saying 90 for PlayStation and 80 for Xbox.

Thereā€™s not a lot of ways to take that out of context with what Senua said.

But that being said, I agree that itā€™s weird that RE8 would have a 88+ on MC, and then the Xbox version has a 84 because less sites reviewed it.

But still, I think the idea in general that if Psychonauts 2 was PS exclusive it would score higher is a dangerous precedent to set.

I wish gamers could go back to not giving a shit about Metacritic .

Also GOTY awards, because there have been times where the ACTUAL game of the year, doesnā€™t win GOTY.

I tend have my own personal GOTY every year. Often doesnā€™t line up with what gets picked up at awards. (Same with music , movies etc)
