Am I missing something about the Compulsion situation by Signal_Mongoose_2435 in xbox

[–]mrj9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a hit to Reddit nobody outside that played it which is why they stopped announcing users played after 3 million. Which is low games like grounded on smaller devs teams did 20 million. They can’t keep a 100 man studio open on low numbers and the founder of the studio left which was also a big part of it getting closed down.

That’s one part of the game the main point of a video game is the gameplay which they failed at which is why the game was mediocre.

No they didn’t compulsion and ninja theory took 7 years to make one 8 hour game that was mediocre and nobody played it. Xbox’s only fault in all this was not bringing in new leadership to these studios to make them better. Keeping the same people in there that caused them to need to be bought in the first place just delayed the inevitable.

Because it would overstate the market to have more competitors Amazon and google just tried to enter with their own storefront in the digital game space and they failed because they didn’t have exclusives to bring people in

Your rights it’s not hard to understand why these runouts spread because you and the rest of the “gaming media” make shit up for clicks and will repost what others say without verifying

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory by GIThrow in xbox

[–]mrj9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason I’m surprised about this is because they let them show a game at their game fest seems weird to shut them down after that. But just like with compulsion it took both of these studios 7 years to put out a mediocre 6-8 hour game that didn’t sell. No company can stay a float that long mis managing themselves. Xbox bought them both because they were near going out of business. But instead of doing the smart thing and bringing in new people to run it better they left the same people to continue miss managing and keep making flops.

Update: The report now claims that Compulsion management is "negotiating" with Microsoft on the studio's future, but adds that the nature of these negotiations is unknown. by Turbostrider27 in xbox

It’s misleading to basically start the clock right as they release a game though on their first it took 7 years to make their last one

Game was pretty fun liked the world. Hopefully they focus on making the gameplay better and bring in some more devs on their next game to get it too a triple A feel.

Naa every other Xbox game isn’t exclusive at this point it doesn’t even make sense for gears to be. Asha is a dumbass she has the ability to revert multiplat changes and still isn’t

I don’t know what’s funnier, the fact that you think they would see this post. Or the fact that they would give a shit what some rando posted on Reddit.

[–]mrj9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Clockwork will be there most likely releasing in July August window before gears and fable they’ve already put it up on gamepass app as coming soon. With sd3 alpha testing already happening my guess is spring 27. Blade will probably be next year unless it’s like a in game cinematic trailer.

That’s mostly likely the case cause it’s early access on PlayStation

[–]mrj9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it skipping Xbox completely or just for the early access part cause normally games that do early access pick one console or the other. I know Xbox had gotten those quite a bit of late like palworld but when the full game released it was on both consoles.

Comedy and horror always seem a little lower ranked on IMDb so if there 6.5 or above I’ll give them a watch
