Making a valid point is triggered? Lol. You should see these people I fight with on Twitter about Eliot Paige😂. Perhaps you work for the site since you defend them so much. 😲M. night shyamalan
You know when the person moves to random shit/sites that has nothing to do with the discussion/thread, then he's got nothing to counter. Got it.

So, will post it here. Apparently the thread i've opened is closed because of this reason :

"Unfortunately, your recent report has been rejected: Post in thread 'PlayStation icons spotted on The Medium edition of XSX gamepad' - Thread closed. This does nothing except try to start another console war thread."

I find it funny to see an PS icons on Xbox gamepad box. How something funny can create console wars. But whatever :

 
Lol, you were mad at me posting Destructoid review. Again, keep grinding that axe.
"Mad". No I was actually being uplifting if you re-read what I was trying to say. Which was think for yourself and not let others dictate how you feel and any other corny and cliche stuff one could think of. 😎
 
So much negativity. You people are the worst. Keep it up! 😅

That's typical of how one would deflect if you didnt like what was said in the review. Anyway, enjoy your games. ;)

Anyone know why this thread got locked? We pretty much knew a PS5 version was coming, but are we not supposed to acknowledge it? Or was it a duplicate thread and I'm not seeing it?

He literally posted the reason in this thread 20 minutes before you asked.

It is gamepass which saves it but I am stunned to see anything above say a 7 on this. It is as bare-bones as you get and the coveted 2 worlds thing is nothing more than coop split screen but changing it to SP. Its like someone waved their hand and said. BELIEVE>

Honestly I don't believe that should influence reviews. Just because it's a gamepass title shouldn't justify a lack in quality. Speaking in general mind you.
 
Lots of you must enjoy paying full price for games that are mediocre and 5 hours long

People do realise that
  1. This isn’t a first party title
  2. The game is effectively rendering 2 games at once in parts
  3. If it does come to ps5 it will most likely run the same or worse
  4. Xbox/pc users don’t have to pay a cent if they have gamepass
  5. Metacritic is a horrible way to judge a game

I expected higher scores, I know 72 is supposed to be good, but when Gaming Journalists dont know how to use the full ratings scale gamers are now spoiled, and honestly anything they give lower than 8 is probably not that good except for very few niche games.

But youtubers who have xbox themed podcasts and are self funded are decent barometer's of if the game is going to click with you or not.

So you're anti think for yourself? You their own. 😐. If was going to get triggered by a score I wouldn't have went after the one that gave it a freaking 2/10

1. Nope. It's effectively one game and when entering the spiritual world, it's the same scene but with different assets, lighting, and other underlying graphical effects. 2 different versions of the game at the same time would be a heavy task even for 3090. Maybe impossible.
2. How about Opencritic then?

I generally don't care about reviews but wow these scores being all over the place is pretty strange.

From the footage they've been showing pretty recently this game looks too much like a "walking simulator". I can't tell if I'd enjoy it or not. I feel I'd need more involved gameplay.

The thing is Microsoft needs their own mega-hit game. Enough excuses about Metacritic.
 
ray tracing and dual worlds running at the same time and how quick it swaps deffo couldn't of been done on last gen
Surely that's impossible on last-gen consoles. But game has some mediocre graphical assets which doesn't scream next-gen at all. Game has inconsistencies in graphics.

Will only know when we play it ourselves as YouTube videos ain’t the best place to see quality.

I remember Spider-Man looked ok on the videos on YouTube but stunning in person

Oh dear. Now all of a sudden you can't see graphics on Youtube to judge it alone, but when Digital Foundry, NXG or VGTech shows is it, everything is visible. LOL.
It's so freaking obvious from gameplay video by IGN that game has some graphical inconsistencies. As numerous posts in that thread proved that.

when did I say everything is visible on DF or the others. you do know that you tube videos are compressed to shit dont you. yeah you can see graphics but they dont look as sharp or see the texture detail as good on the videos

Luckily, some youtube videos has a high bitrates so you can see inconsistencies, man. So, John Linneman in article said game is little rough. I've seen game is rough on IGN video. Everyone saw the game is rough watching first 18 minutes on IGN. I can post here dozens of posts which says that game has graphical inconsistencies. So, any problems with that, hm? You need to chill out. Game isn't graphical powerhouse for Xbox, it's all right.

Where did I say it was a graphical power house?

Nowhere. But you sound like you're insulted because i've said ( and others too ) that game is inconsistent graphically. That's why i've said game isn't graphical powerhouse for Xbox, it's all right.

It is really weird and worth a thread.
Mods are being a bit crazy lately.

The point was they said it couldn’t be done on last gen, I said yeah because of running the two versions of the world simultaneously , the quick loading of the swapping of the real life world and the dead world, and that chase scene where it flips between the 2 could not of been done on last gen and the the ray tracing. That doesn’t mean it’s a graphical power house, but all that couldn’t be done last gen
