Cheers lads, I'll see you Redfall bros on Gamepass

how deep did you dig?

I wanted to pre-order and then I could always ask for a refund but the more gameplay videos I see, the less I want to play it.

That whole embargo thing does not help either.

I know it is like Bethesda acts but still I would like more companies to be like Capcom.

5/10 and PC is going to run like a wet dog.

Never preorder any game. There's literally no point in doing so.

I do that only for Tomb Raider and Resident Evil games.

Wait for the reviews on this one.. trust me lol.. this game is a heaping red flag pie with sugar sprinkled on top.

70 bucks for a game that doesnt look that deep?.. check.. extra pointless big edition for 100? check.. denuvo.. check.. needing another login with bethesda.. check.. no story progession for anyone outside the host.. yeah.. check.. huge ass review embargo that just hides the state of the game instead of them just releasing what it looks like fully and generating hype? oh big check.. lots of flags.. just wait for reviews on this one..

Oh please, don't get the wrong idea. I'm expecting it to be a dud. It's just that I've basically played all of Arkane's other games so I almost feel obligated to see this tire fire (hence I basically paid $5 for a month of gamepass and nothing else).

again-am I the only one here that think the game will be fun?

Given people have already bought the game, not really.

And hey, more power to you if you think you'll enjoy it. All I see is a game Arkane probably didn't want to make because it resembles nothing about their other games may that be on a design or ambition level. They essentially made a Ubisoft open world shooter and they don't want to admit it which is why the advertising has been so vague.

I dont even think its going to be that bad. But I do think its going to under preform. Looks like a game no one asked for

its sad modern gaming has made everyone this skeptical and unhyped for games, i understand why it's just a shame it's gotten to this point. This is one of my favorite studio's in gaming with the games they make i usually love them no matter what arkane studio makes it. I hope that is the case here, it looks like it has much better shooting than deathloop had with an awesome setting that doesn't get done enough (vampires) in games. I'm more hopeful than this than i was for deathloop (and i ended up really enjoying that game).

Got a free copy with my 4090... probably won't even try it.

That sucks but after googling it seems to be standard Bethesda practice.

Still not very consumer friendly but not specially concerning as it happens with all their games

I was planning to try it on Gamepass but now I don't know if I wanna waste 100gb of bandwidth on it.

I haflway agree but it really is just AAA making me feel like this. Indies and AA games still do it for me and I can happily leave most of the AAA market behind, it's just there are a few AAA here and there each year that might be worth it. In fact, I was very skeptical about Deathloop before launch but played it after a recommendation and enjoyed it far more than any of the Dishonored games easily.

However, I am going to have to disagree with the shooting part (it looks far worse here in terms of enemy feedback, weapon SFX and the uniqueness of guns themselves when compared to Deathloop and it was already confirmed there's zero weapon customization) and while I do like the suburb setting that's rarely done in games, I'm too jaded about the open world aspect that it really does not feel like it's going to take advantage of what makes Arkane's level design work and we instead get some Ubisoft tier slop.
