DEATHLOOP Review Thread

Easily. Without a doubt.

I think the main problem is all of Microsofts game are far out. Well the big ones anyways. While Sony are dropping hits after hits (although they are cross gen). If Xbox have 3 must have games that in interested in (I'm not into Halo, Gears and Forza) then me who is a PS5 owner would be tempted grabbing an Xbox or a gaming PC. I think Starfield could potentially be the first game I'm interested but I'd need another 2 more must have games before I jump in. So I can see myself getting an Xbox around 2023-2024, hopefully by 2024 Series X Pro is announced so I'd just hold out for that or a gaming PC is cheap by then.
 
I could be wrong but isn’t ACG one of the dudes who isn’t into the dualsense and thinks the haptics and triggers are a gimmick? That’s completely against my own views on the DS I think it’s a game changer and a reason to buy on platform over another beyond tiny res improvements.

Vibrations on a plastic device are a game changer? You really have a low bar there buddy. Theres so many more things out there.
 
Very glad Arkane is a microsoft studio now, would be a shame they disbanded after this game gets outsell by every game ever released this year. Day 1 deluxe edition preordered baby. Gotta keep em afloat to survive the onslaught of Marvel games in the next 5 years.

I don't need to come to terms with anything. I've been saying forever Arkane is NOW MS's best studio. They had nothing to do with the creation of Deathloop.

That's why is a timed PS5 exclusive, unless you are dumb enough to think MS funded a timed PS5 exclusive.

Bethesda funded the game. Sony only paid cash to keep it off Xbox consoles.

The GOTY nominations show up as ‘Game - Developer/Publisher’. Nowhere is ‘exclusive’ or ‘console’ mentioned.

So when it shows up in the nomination lists as ‘DeathLoop - Arkane/Bethesda Softworks’, try not to lose it, m’kay?
 
thanks finished it.
gonna pass on it.. how in the fuck is this game needing a 3080 on max..
it looks just off.

lol at the 10's :pie_roffles:

Yay pre-order redeemed!

Although it's an Arkane game so no matter how it reviewed I was always going to get it. They are one of the few remaining studios where every project (yes, even Wolfenstein Youngblood) is guaranteed to be quality. Can't wait! Hope it runs okay on my ageing PC though...

Not really. The fact is MS had nothing to do with this game
So what if they didn't. Its still an xbox studio game that is exclusive to the PS5 for one year because sony paid zenimax for an undisclosed amount prior to the Microsoft acquisition. Sony would not of done this deal if they knew of the MS buy out, its not the best optics for them.

Reviews are great, I'm in! I didn't understand why people hated on this game so much, it looks really creative and smart...

Dude no one is saying is not xbox studios now. People are only saying MS had not involvement in this game. They didn't made any decisions on how this game turn out to be.
How is that hard to understand?

How can you people still believe in review scores after the Cyberpunk fiasco is something that I cannot comprehend.

Like come on, game's looking fine and fun, but I wouldn't call it one of the best games ever made.

And holy shit the ammount of MS and Sony shareholders we have here. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Day one for me. On Gamepass that is. I would spend the money on it, but since it is coming to Gamepass, I can wait.

Damn to think so many people were writing it off too.

Looks like an essential PS5 purchase over year end holidays.

Did you bought the game yourself and reviewed it? or did you get a preview key from the company itself before release date?

If you bought it yourself u are a non paid shill
If you get it form them u are a paid shill

Because guess what happens if you are negative towards there products? they won't be sending you codes any longer and u fall behind your competition.

Don't believe it?

Lol at you trying to tell me how the industry works, only been doing this for 20 years mate. Been dealing out bad reviews plenty of times, never got blacklisted. Heard about Rockstar trying to pull some shit some times, but we don't deal with people who try to put restrictions on us. Not that it's in any way anywhere near common, mind you.

Also, of course we get codes. Your idea that that makes me a shill is so moronic I don't know what to tell you. You think the price for a game is enough to make me adjust scores? What do you think I am, a 12 year old child who has to save up for every game in a Naruto shaped piggy bank?

We don't pay for the games we review. Not a single one, and in the odd case we do, the company pays, not the reviewer. So when every game is free, when are you being a shill? When you give a shitty game 3 or when you give a great game 9? Do you realize this isn't just fun spoiled brats stuff? We have short deadlines, tons of hourd to get through, possibly dull as fuck gameplay, and an hourly pay that is next non existant. But in your eyes we're paid shills cause the game is free.

There are few jobs out there that pay less for the amount of time you put in than game reviewing, so shove it.

But they wouldn't have anyways, full creative freedom means MS isn't making decision on how any game turns out.
Keep believing in that bullshit. Ms paid 7b to not have saying on how their games have to be made. Why do you think the head of the company has to visit the studios to see how the projects are going or how games get cancelled.

Well this is different. With each preview and trailer released by hype for this game went down and down and down. Even seeing all this great review scores is not hyping me up. What to do? lol.
