True. However, Rare will hopefully have realized that they should never again release a game in the state that Sea of Thieves released in. Only by 2019/20 did it become the game that is should have been at launch. They need to launch Everwild in a state comparable to how SOT is TODAY…Otherwise they’ll just get kicked about in reviews again and spent the next few years clawing back respectability.

Im sure they have learned from that, and especially now xbox is back on its feet compared to where they were when sea of theives was released Im sure they can outsource some more manpower intensive work to bulk out the release window.
Today, Sea of Thieves represents the work of almost 7 years of development. I don’t think it’s fair to expect any game to launch in such an advanced state, to be honest.
I do agree though that it shouldn’t launch in the state SoT launched and should have more content ready on day one. I think there is a middle ground they need to find here.

True. Hopefully the Zenimax acquisition takes away that kind of pressure

What’s poppin’ gamers?
I wonder what the ongoing content for everwild will be like? assuming there are ongoing updates
I think it will be like sea of thieves, where they started with just general updates and then are just now introducing the plunder pass system. I dont know why but I think introducing a battlepass type system day 1 is a bit ballsy? maybe its not though
Just waiting on Obsidian to drop their Series X enhanced patch for Outer Worlds so I can buy the season pass already.

Sup,
I am waiting for The Medium now, really hoping it’s good. Bloober’s games have always had some cool elements going for it, but they haven’t delivered a homerun yet. I don’t need it to be the next Resident Evil, but if it has a interesting story, nice atmosphere, on point graphics and steady framerate it’s enough for me.
I wonder when the reviews come, no matter, I will start playing it as soon as it’s there.
Amazing story. That’s why Sea of Thieves is an incredible game.

Although I can’t complain because so many of the upcoming first party games are right in my wheelhouse, I still selfishly wish that a talented studio like Rare would work on a game that is interesting for me personally.

Looks nice.
Why are people flagging comments that are inoffensive?

I think anything not related to XGS will be flagged onwards.

That seems kinda extreme

The Medium discussion can be in a separate thread.
And I haven’t seen a volunteer yet for the The Medium thread. So if you are looking forward to that game, please make an official thread. This thread is for XGS discussion.
The studios Microsoft now owns, the type of genres they are making, the games they have released and are releasing in the future. Everything created and published by Microsoft goes here.

Personally I’d be fine if we threw ALL Xbox exclusive games in one thread, that would include the games published by XGP.

I dont think the medium is XGP
Ahhh right, my bad.
But I mean every Xbox exclusive basically can be discussed in one thread. So whether that’s XGP or by themselves doesn’t matter. But that’s just me. I see no problem with it.
I agree but I dont make the rules haha
