I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol
Biggest concerning signs:
-
30 FPS lock on xbox, there’s no way to spin that positively, absolute fail
-
Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they’re actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)
-
Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs
-
Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol
At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.
I don’t like gamepass because it requires me to install games through the Microsoft store. I’d rather buy them from anywhere else or pirate them.
i can respect that, I myself avoid blizzard, riot, EA and Ubisoft and only install stuff if forced by friends for coop.
The games themselves though install through the xbox app and not directly from the shitty Microsoft store. In the end it all runs through the same service probably, but the xbox app is at least a better user experience.
My point was simply that people can avoid throwing money on shitty games like redfall if they just try it out on gamepass instead.
It’s the same service wearing a different costume. They sometimes install multiple copies of themselves, for example, the Fallout games will install a copy of the game for each language they support with no option to only install the language you want. Attempting to install mods in most games will cause it to reinstall the entire game, preventing the use of mods. Sometimes when you uninstall them, it doesn’t actually delete the files so it continues to use space on your drives until you reformat or use third party programs to remove them.
In my opinion, it’s an absolutely terrible way to install games, even if the value is good.
