@_justthegems I think they look a bit unsettling, but I like it. They’re anthropomorphic animals flying spaceships. I kinda like that they look a lil weird.

The people loving the new Star Fox designs and the people hating them feels a lot like the fight between people who like AI art and people who find it repulsive. There's just... SOMETHING about it that's unsettling, and it's hard to articulate. But you either see it or you don't.

I don’t care that the redesigns look a lil funky.
I don’t care that it’s a remake of a remake of a remake.
But I do care that it’s presumably going to be a 3-4 hour long game for $50-60. One I’ve already played too.

Fox McCloud and his crew are back in the cockpit for #StarFox, a remake of the Nintendo 64 game, coming to #NintendoSwitch2 on June 25th. Watch Star Fox Direct: ntdo.com/6010A7PG2

I have been a fan of FF going back to the NES in 1987. I have played 20+ FF titles.
It is that bad. It's the only one I dislike. I hate it. FF15 is dog shit. It's one of three games that make my trinity of the most disappointing games in my 40+ years of gaming.
ᥫ᭡.@XVRJSli
The hatred towards it is exaggerated; the game isn't that bad.

@emergeofchance @idonotexistelol Specifically, we had a game *try* to do $80 in The Outer Worlds 2 and then revert back to $70 due to preorders being down.
Only games with a certain level of prestige can do these prices. It won’t just become a new standard because GTA does it.
English
@idonotexistelol It's just like when Mario kart world was 80 dollars that means every game going forward would b 80 dollars. Yet we don't have any other 80 dollar games lol
English
I'm curious to anyone else who actually believes this. I want you guys to properly explain with proof and sources that show this claim that GTA 6 succeeding will be bad for the Industry. $100 editions of games already exist alongside $80

@idonotexistelol Genuinely, why Yeah if it was just subjectively disliking it sure, but there is an absolutely valid case to be made about how this game doing great would be a terrible sign for the industry in many cases
English
There is not a single resident evil plot that gets anything higher than a 6/10 thats why im confused

@copperCity17 They don’t review games that don’t have buzz or interest. And if a game has buzz or interest, it’s likely better than average.
If IGN reviewed every single game released on Steam, a 5 probably would be much closer to the mean.

The elephant still needs addressing

Genuinely asking: what can we do to make even more explicitly clear what a 7 means on our scale.
English
@selStreams @The__Goomba You can get it on PS3 or Vita, but it’s not available in any way on PS4/5.
English
@The__Goomba I think you can buy it digitally for PS4/PS5? pretty sure it’s a ps1 classic, no? I vaguely remember it being possible to get but kind of annoying. might have to do it from the web browser?
English
I could have sworn Vangrant Story was on PS4/5 but apparently not.
Thought it looked cool so wanted to try it.
English
@lazyjusten Yeah, it’s intentionally reductive. The point being that you *cant* reduce video games down to just that.
Essentially just pointing out that video games have all of that *and then some* to take into account when critiquing / reviewing.
English
@Jumpmanryan I think that’s kinda reductive because sight and sound can mean so many things in a film.
English
Video game reviews don’t scale in the same way that music or movies reviews do.
It’s because there’re many more facets to a video game review than the latter two, due to video games being interactive.
Andy Cortez (didn't pay for the blue check)@TheAndyCortez
Too many people think this is like grade school where a 69 and below is a failing grade. 5 is average, 6 is fine/okay, 7 is good, 8 is great. Glad our scale is like IGNs because if a 7 was considered a BARELY passing score (a 70 or a D in school) and 0 to 6.5 meant a failing grade, that's way too much real estate on the scale to grade a bad game. I don't need that many levels to let you know how badly a game is failing. I prefer to have more space on the scale to describe a game I genuinely recommend or enjoy.
English
@JurassicRabbit A 7 out of 10 isn’t necessarily viewed as mid, but it’s lackluster when there is such an overabundance of 8+ out of 10 games out there.
Way too many games release for good to be good enough for the average gamer.
Why play a 7 when there are hundreds of 8+ games in my backlog?
English
This sparked some good discussion that I enjoyed reading (on top of a bunch of attacks from out nowhere! lol) I wish we had a good answer. I hear what people are saying about the school system training us to think 7 = C = Average

English
Meanwhile, other mediums are only toying with sight and sound. It’s simpler for those to be spectacular failures as opposed to games.
It’s why review outlets typically explore the full scale more in movies & music than they do with video games. It’s why 7 is viewed as average.
English
@lazyjusten I think it’s fine as well! I just wonder why they’re even using the Resident Evil IP if it’s not gonna have anything Resident Evil in it.
But it’s just a trailer, I’d assume the movie will have some stuff.
English
@Jumpmanryan I think that’s fine tho. RE7 didn’t have anything recognizable when it was announced either. It’s great to just tell new stories in this universe.
English
This looks really cool, but not a single thing in this trailer is recognizable as Resident Evil.

Xbox released 1 game on PS5 in Q3. That game being South of Midnight, which released on the last day of Q3 (March 31st).

So they went multiplat and are still down across the board lol Good job
English
@GoodGameKofi I don’t think this really means anything considering Sharma took over just two months ago.
I assume they’ll wait and see how Halo, Gears, and/or Fable perform as they’re new games releasing simultaneously on everything. The numbers for those will be very telling.
English
yeah they’re definitely sticking to their multi-platform strategy
