It's not reasonable to hyper focus on outlier negative reviews when the aggregate for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is high (Greg gave it a 6.5, Parris a 7, but Meta is 86). But the comments here are interesting and mimic even positive reviews on how its story...

Are you serious? I played Indiana Jones for 30 plus hours where does this game lack gameplay? Dafuq

How mechanically competent and challenging is the gameplay? All games have gameplay, even actual cinematic walking sims like Detroit, Hellblade 2 or Heavy Rain. It's a question of how complex, refined or challenging gameplay is. These guys felt gameplay was less comprehensive.

I personally think Xbox games get a pass for shit other games get dinged for. it’s bizarre. does this read like an 8.5/10: “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is far from perfect, especially because of a lot of dated elements and a rigidity.” was this the motivation for the 9/10 score from a different outlet? “This is exactly what Xbox needs: a solid single-player game with its own unique identity.” why would Xbox need a multiplatform license game? reads like a pity bump.

I'm saying two of Xbox's best exclusives this year, are the kind of cinematic "movie" games many Xbox/PC fans used to criticise and hate lol.

Sony is talked about negatively for their “movie games” not because other platforms don’t enjoy them but because that is the majority of their content. They didn’t have any solid shooters, platformers or smaller games releasing for a while. You know, variety.

One criticism I always see towards games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto VI recently is the topic of small details. "Why does a game need so many details, it doesn't make the experience any better and takes longer to develop" While I do agree with the fact that Rockstar Games development schedules in between each release keep getting longer, the fact is that when you aim for such a high level of realism in a video-game, its not about graphics anymore, its about immersion. I'm sure that if you played RDR2, you know that your horse sweating or its balls shrinking in the cold don't add much to the gameplay itself, but it makes the game feel like its real. This is precisely what sets apart Rockstar Games from other game studios, the level of immersion you get in those games is unbeaten. RDR2, a game designed for the PS4 console has a level of fluidity and immersion that I have yet to see in a video-game from any other game studio, each game mechanic seems to work flawlessly that it feels like a living and breathing open world game. Hell, sometimes you feel bad for shooting an NPC which never happened to me in a video-game before. When you're playing it, hours can go by and you don't even. In other open-world games, sometimes you can notice limitations, for example the same NPCs appearing in one object or the same scripted conversations. RDR2 manages to make that gap of a video-game and reality feel thinner, not get rid of it entirely of course. Making such a massive game filled with tons of details means that it can be can be played for multiple years after its release and not feel outdated. Its not all about details of course, when a game takes so long to develop, the stakes get higher each time and Rockstar Games has to make sure that they deliver on the story that is being told too, hence the reason why their games have always been historically good in terms of writing. Now to address the elephant int he room, the main issue is that as the complexity increases for each new release and optimizing all of these systems to work in tandem, the development time increases and we get longer periods of waiting. Is all of this worth it? In my opinion, yes. Its Rockstar Games after all, they have the budget necessary and the talent to achieve this kind of feat. Not only does it raise the bar for what is possible to do in a video-game, but it also is highly rewarding when you play the game for the first time and its unlike anything you've seen these past couple of years. When I finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time, every new game that came out felt outdated for me. Just as technology keeps going forward, the same applies here with open world games too. What are your thoughts on this topic?

Pragmata Review | No spoilers That is it for me. I played more than 30 hours of Pragmata and I am really happy that not only we finally got this game after so many delays and in a time where cancellations are common, but also that it turned out to be a very solid and enjoyable experience. Visually it is beautiful, and gameplay wise it works well for the length it has. It is not a long game, which I personally prefer, and I hope we see more titles like this instead of games trying to be longer just for the sake of it. I would not call it short like some people did, but I think it is exactly as long as it needs to be. Story wise, it is my favorite of the year so far. Seeing this kind of father and daughter dynamic again made me want to play more games with similar themes. I did almost everything in the game and I absolutely recommend it. If you are unsure about the length, maybe wait for a sale, but quality wise it deserves to be up there. I am not someone who rushes, so it took me longer because I admire the environments, take screenshots, record videos, and try to find collectibles without guides. For someone who just plays straight through, I think it would take around 12 to 15 hours, maybe a bit more or less. This is the kind of experience I want to see more often in the gaming space. I liked the combat and I think the enemy variety is fine for the length. If the game was longer without adding new enemy types, it would probably feel repetitive, but for what it is, it works. My biggest concern before playing was the combination of Hugh’s shooting and Diana’s hacking. If it was too complicated, it would be annoying, and if it was too simple, it would be boring. Thankfully, it ended up being exactly right. My only real complaint is that you need to return to the base to restock items, and when you die, the game sends you back there instead of placing you right before the area or at the last travel point you unlocked. It is not a huge issue, but it breaks the flow a bit. Diana is very cute and does her part extremely well, and Hugh is a character that is hard not to like. They both nail the dad simulator vibe. The voice acting is great, especially for Diana. Capcom delivered a unique and impressive new IP, which is always welcome in an industry where big publishers mostly rely on established franchises instead of taking risks. Whether we get more entries in the future is up to them, but it is also up to us to support games like this if we want more of them. On PC the game runs very well. The only thing that felt a bit underwhelming to me is the ray tracing when you use it on its own without path tracing. In some areas it does not add much, similar to what I noticed in Resident Evil Requiem. It makes me think it is either something with the RE Engine or simply that Capcom does not push ray tracing that far and focuses more on path tracing instead. Path tracing looks incredible, but of course it comes with a heavy performance cost. Something that impressed me throughout the entire playthrough is how consistent the game feels from start to finish. There is no point where it suddenly drops in quality or feels rushed. Every area has its own atmosphere, the pacing stays steady, and the game never tries to drag itself out longer than needed. It is rare to play something that stays this steady all the way through, and that alone made the whole experience even more enjoyable for me. I hope we get a DLC or a sequel one day, but even if this stays a one off, I am happy with what we got. Rating: 9/10

Statistics and data show exclusive games have a far higher likelihood of being higher quality and/or more graphically and technically impressive, relative to the very low volume of releases they make up vs multi-platform games. This doesn't mean exclusives can't be and aren't often bad. Nor that multi-platform games can't be or aren't often better than exclusives, just that exclusivity (inc console and timed) greatly increases the likelihood of higher quality. Despite making up less than 10% of overall releases (see video for context and details), exclusives make up; +The majority of the highest rated games ever made. +The majority of the most Game of the Year Awarded games the last 13 years. +The overwhelming majority of tech and graphics awards winners, by arguably the most prestigious institutions in the field. This isn't a coincidence, as developers themselves keep reminding us. It's because exclusives greatly benefit from single platform focus, and design, development, optimisation, studios, teams, budgets, resources, testing and time, not having to instead be spread far thinner, across many platforms. This doesn't mean all games need to be or should be exclusive. Few games are, and that's fine. But some exclusives existing to push the boundaries of single platform development, tech and design focus, as well as increasing competition in general, is ultimately a great and pro-consumer thing. At least if you're a consumer who values the pursuit of higher potential quality, over accessibility. #PS5 #Xbox #Nintendo #Switch2
