Poor Arkane studio, they deserve better. Or maybe they don't, who knows.

Fuck off; you have no room to cry or complain! Isn't right Mister NFT and only Battle-Royales-should-exists?
Were it up to me, every article about this guy would begin with "Twitch gamer and public bathroom livestreamer DrDisrespect".

Redfall please stop....

What's that smell? Rancid head cheese? Team spirit? No, smells like desperation.

What's funny about Redfall is how we all have just been watching this coming for a while. Its negative reception is the leas surprising gaming development of 2023.
I still might try it out tonight simply because I have Gamepass.

Stole this from reddit. Apparently, Redfall devs didn't even get environmental proportions right. Unless this was intentional?

Lol. Reminds me of one of the late night shows that consistently used the whole "Crack smoking mayor of Toronto Canada Rob Forb" everytime they had to reference him


Redfall, to get back to the general discussion, I never had any expectation for (Color me a skeptic, but when a studio known for one type of game more or less goes and tries to shift genres, its usually a rough one). But I wasn't really expecting a studio that is basically attached at the hip to the ID Engine crew to fail at optimization.

A failure getting additional content. Reminds me of something
The worse is that the selling point is about following the "Tanta" story. The writer thought they were doing a clever thing in the story by having all magical ruler that are initially presented as evil actually be good people that were corrupted. Except they didn't bother to actual make sure they established them as good so you constantly find background info about them before they got corrupted and they were all horrible ruler. The worse is they all get corrupted but slowly, so that at first they're fully conscious of whats happening, and yet they don't bother telling their people, so everyone get caught completely unaware when they start going crazy and slaughtering citizens. But w/e, in Tanta we trust, if you're a moron.

The game entire story/script really feel like the initial draft was accidentally used in the final version.

Also, Microsoft is just having the worst week, aren't they? First the CMA block on the Acti-Blizz acquisition, and now Bethesda/Arkane dropping the ball with Redfall

VGC it's trying to pull some bull crap, and gave it a four out of five!

I'm glad you're passionate about your hobby, but there's still video games at the end of the day. Not an insult, but a fact of life.
