I agree. It's an unwritten rule in the gaming industry, in opinion: the higher the price tag for game that has yet to prove it worth, the harsher the criticism when it fails to meet the mark. The game "Brink" is a prime example of this rule.

If games actual came out completed I'd gladly pay $100 a game. Games have been $60-$70 since the super Nintendo era.

If a game is worth $90 it deserves an ever harsher critique

@Radams I wish more game companies would listen to criticism. But it’s all about money…

he forgot about forza

Imagine making a shit piece of tech product and your customers then try to defend you. Oh wait, they'll complain cause it's a shit product that hurt their business. Creatives in video game development got it too fucking good.

From my experience. I think the problem is that a lot of criticism and feedback just gets considered as complaining and gets thrown on the side. Which is strange to me why complaining somehow has a more negative context than criticism and feedback. Criticism is just someone complaining about specific aspects of a product so you can take that as data for future improvements of that same product. As long as it's constructive, complain all you want. It's helpful.

I agree, most gaming companies only read numbers and never even think about the customer, instead of hotfixes and important add ons, hey look a sequel nobody asked for.

this is the most wholesome thing

Also, Xbox is just gonna become a PC company. No reason not to especially if they can make enough games to make enough money that they make more than if they made a new console.

​@@spookytv2 juggle bud lol

Ain't no way Air Bud is gonna jiggle peek, my dog reached silver 3 in CSGO and when he tries to peek he keeps getting tapped.

There ain't no rule saying a dog can't jiggle peak

He did more than insinuate, he full out said it.

Nah, he was selling hopes and dreams for 8 years, 2 generations of bricks with promises of games that he never delivered but somehow everytime "next year" was going to be the one for xbox. And again he took accountability for nothing, just sleazily passed on the blame on Arkane for not being "connected" with Xbox studios and giving them "creative freedom". How did Halo Infinite work out, that was suppose to be an Xbox studios project. Its always "hands off" and "creative freedom" to blame when it doesnt work out, but its all leadership when it does. They took credit for Hi Fi Rush, but Redfalls failure is all on the developers?

Right, but as charlie said I dont exactly believe if they had good exclusives people wouldn't switch over, I remember how excited for example for Scalebound the Platnuim games title that was supposed to be a Xbox One exclusive. If they would have just doubled down and got out a few banger titles and stuck with the ones they ended up canceling they probably would have been fine.

He's been lying to Microsoft supporters for a decade. Just because he wears a t shirt and not a suit doesn't mean he's "in touch with reality"

I'm a little surprised people aren't mentioning the Activision takeover. The idea is that he is trying to downplay Xbox to make the deal more likely to go through.

Noooo, you're supposed to just consume product!!!

The irony is that the people who freak out when something they like receives less than positive attention are the same people who send death threats to celebs they don’t like on twitter.

Idk man I’ve heard “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all” for my entire 30 year life and that’s basically the exact same sentiment.

@@davidpilger4136 no it isn’t the same sentiment. If you’re paying for a product, you expect the product to be of a certain standard. If it isn’t, you have the right to bitch about it. Especially since retail price of this game is higher than what normal new releases are. If people aren’t allowed to make constructive criticisms about products they buy, how do companies know that they need to improve? And what stops them from pumping out absolute dog shit one after the other because people still buy their crap knowing it’s bad because they’re too afraid of the cancel police to say that the product they paid for could be better? “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” applies to things like bullying and harassment, not to shitty products that you paid a lot of money for.

Bro, this is not new- for one single example- ever heard of JFK?

@@davidpilger4136 Yes, and it has always been dumb af. The message it tries to give is "Just dont be mean for no reason". But in reality this sentiment has only been used to silence critism and make people think less critical.

In that case maybe he needs to adopt the military officers policy of "shit rolls downhill" lmao Like not to sound institutionalized, but where's the accountability here? I appreciate him not just publicly shoving the blame on them cause that's a bad look, but privately he needs to be IN THEIR ASS figuring out what's causing them to crank out trash like this. We've seen arcane do amazing so it's not like they can't pull it off. Something is fucking with their process and he needs to dig up a root cause. Taking all the blame isn't going to help either you know?

@@Batchall_Accepted that's exactly what I'm thinking and he even mentions it in the actual podcast vid that there might be some internal issues going on if the internal test scores were so high and it released to honest trash. That and as you said, these devs have a good track record. What really is going on at xbox? We know damn well they don't rush games so it has to be something else.

And when you call it bad without buying it :" how can you tell its bad , you clearly havent played it 😡😡😡" . MAYBE BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE ABSOLUTE SHIT AND EVERYONE WITH JUST A BIT OF TASTE ALSO THINKS THAT ?!

Because companies would often hold up review copies until after launch, especially when they know the game is bad like in this case, the review embargo was set hours after launch, the only early reviews are from the known shills that trade access for integrity that were flown to Microsoft all expenses paid and given a vertical slice of the game and will praise the game even if they know its crap just so they dont lose their access, kinda like Yong Yea and Skill Up with Cyberpunk. So how would people know if the game is good without buying it if the reviews come out days after release?

That's when you say "Because I liked what they showed us, but I didn't like what they didn't show us".

What we saw looked like a shitty mobile game bro. It was like they advertised dog shit. I have no idea how you fell for that.

Well people have to make a mistake and learn not to buy instantly after release with no real knowledge on how the game performs, otherwise fall into the trap of insanity making the same choice expecting a different result. Only truly researching will you know what you're buying and if it's already vague it's best to wait. 2 examples I can think of are anthem and cyberpunk I didn't buy cyberpunk but I got anthem and they burned me to the point I trust basically no devs or studios anymore, could of been a good game if they didn't immediately give up and just move on throwing away their roadmap. Save 1 Fromsoftware and that's because they literally give us all the info we need on what they're giving us and even go beyond normal developers and give us network tests or early access which shows it's basic functions and then take what we say into consideration in certain situations.

if you spent money for it and the product is bad, you have right to critique the product.

​@@pitbullnamedcupcake8485 The main issue is people thinking a game failed if they don't give it a 7/10-1/10. A 7/10 would make the game great, not just good. A 5/10 game is an okay game, or a fine game, but players will act like its the end of the world because they paid $70 for it. You could read you and your friends a single fast food meal for $70 but a video game being "fine" makes that price unacceptable? The problem here is that people like me spent the last two decades telling people that they needed to stop just buying up every CoD and shit like it because it gave the industry the wrong idea and finally people want to fight back but they're doing it to shit that was never going to be good in the first place. Dishonored was bad on so many levels but most of you played it when you were children so you think it was a masterpiece or something. Dishonored was a 5/10, maybe a 6/10 tops, and Redfall sits right around there as well. Prey was also dog shit but people like walking simulators with combat once every ten minutes so there's no convincing you all that that's the case. In no universe was Redfall going to be a game that revolutionizes the industry and blows our collective minds, all of you pretending it was isn't helping the industry at all it's just making you look entitled. Hold onto this anger and disappointment and put it on the next CoD, Overwatch, or whatever other billion dollar franchises get shit out these next few years. No one is listening to you when you're bitching about a game everyone with half a brain knew was going to be mediocre.

I hate when I can tell something us wrong but can't find anyone honest enough to tell me.

I don’t know where you been but we been doing both for a long time buddy

Mock reviews are done by 3rd party companies, not internally. Almost all studios use them before releasing their games to get a better understanding of what the public reception will be before release, and how to improve it if it is bad

I think it is like rereading what you wrote in a book. But you are blind to most errors, I feel like bringing in outside people to be unfiltered will work best

Brutally accurate description.

@@that.one.guy.377 Very often the people doing mock reviews are actually reviewers. Freelance reviewers choose to do these, they get offered them a lot and it's pretty good money.

True, but I still feel like the majority just chucks $70 to preordering without second thoughts. I hope that changes with all these lackluster AAA titles we've had release in this first half of the year.

I remember when AAA new releases were $49.99. The $10 increase to $59.99 made me a lot more selective about what games I buy

It also is somewhat shocking that games were $60 for so long. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to spend $100 let alone $70 on broken AAA titles, but game development costs didn’t pass down to retail price like you’d expect.

Fr, I used to be so excited to come home everyday and play assassins creed 3, oblivion, new vegas, and so many of the games with gold free games were so good, got dark souls 2 for free, toy soldiers Cold War was free, I could go on so much. A lot of these are on ps3 too but getting stuff for free with the game pass and getting good games at that, it was so much fun

Yeah honestly it was way more stacked than the PS3 catalogue. It's insane how hard they dropped the ball. Like GoW and Halo are both dead, how did they let that happen.

How is GoW dead? Are you high? The last 2 banged. Also those games were also on ps3 besides halo. This "catalogue" of Xboxs is smaller than PS by a large margin. Even their subscription has a larger amount of free games. Gamepass having new ones isnt always a plus, look at redfall. Sony has more on the platform overall. I used to be a diehard fan, I have my original Xbox still love every halo up to reach. 360 era was amazing tbh, i hated how ps3 didn't have party chat like 360. But after 360 era it went downhill and never climbed back up so I went to ps3 then 4. But I honestly prefer 360 over ps3 for all those halo 3 and reach memories. Just because Phil tries with some damage control and honesty the fans start meat riding. They fucked halo, they fucked redfall, they fucked crackdown, they fucked whatever else exclusive they cobbled together. That's why they're desperately buying studios so everyone else can make games for em. He HAS to do this. Don't be sorry, be better.

And all those really bad but fun indie games that were like $1/£0.69

The 360 was one of the best consoles ever made. Just thinking about it is making me want to boot mine up. It's been awhile.

This is exactly what he meant. Charlie definitely misunderstands this.

i was on the xbox one s last generation and switched to ps5 almost a year ago. left behind my massive library of games, and got playstations equivalent of game pass. i now have exactly 100 games in my library and a lot of them are playstation exclusives. gow, horizon forbidden west, spiderman, demons souls and bloodborne. if there’s games that people want to play on a certain console and see no reason of owning the other one due to lack of games, ya i think people will definitely be influenced by that

Charlie is saying that if Xbox has good exclusives people would consider getting the Xbox for them. Exactly what he said. You don’t have to sell your ps5. And you could play your ps5 games on your ps5. And just have your Xbox for the exclusives. Pretty clear to me. Not having the money is really the only reasonable thing to conclude from that statement

The devs are just as much at fault.

Even if the devs aren't at fault, they already got paid. Buying the game doesn't actually support them, just keeps them stuck in a dysfunctional system.

​@@_CetarialThat would be true in the indie scene or even the AA scene. But AAA games are made by hundreds, often well into the thousands of devs. Each often works on super specific tiny details, like an artist paid to paint trees for months on end and nothing else. In cases like that, it's an issue of leadership not being able to properly foster communication between teams and ensure the end product comes together properly.

​@@_Cetarialdepends on the situation, mostly it's company's fault due to their mismanagement, but there are some instances where developers mismanaged, mostly AA or indie games.

Sure, but it doesn't sound like Phil actually intends to improve anything. Like at all. His company lost last Gen after dominating with the 360, so instead he's resigned to tell Sony and Nintendo "ggs"? If I was a Microsoft shareholder reading this I'd be calling for his head.

And believing rich people words is the first step to foolishness

tbh I think it's a strategic comment of Phil Spencer to ensure that the Activision Deal gets through. No CEO would actually say that you're the worst on the market unless there is a bigger picture behind it.

Yup, that and there's usually no real reason to preorder anymore since most games are digital copies

Admitting your mistakes is good, but improving on them is even better. Let’s see if Phil has what it takes.

It’s probably his failure more than his company’s. His choices in getting this game out may have been out-of-touch.

​@@acatonkush8709 I think Bethesda as a publisher is also to blame here, as they were already on a downhill trend. Fallout 76 and Wolfenstein: Young Blood were obvious signs that the publisher was forcing their devs to make games with "monetization" in mind. Co-op, an half-assed loot/rpg system, and broken at launch. And Redfall fits right into that box perfectly. My theory is that since Xbox really emphasized that they're focusing on giving their devs the ability to make things without interfering, they probably ended up stepping a little too far back. Sure, THEY gave the devs freedom, but they didn't make sure that Bethesda did too. So Arkane probably didn't even want to make Redfall, but Bethesda made them, and Xbox didn't step in to stop the train wreck.

I mean his take of "even if we had great exclusives people wouldn't buy the xsx" is pretty out of touch

Brings back vibes from the Fanchen rush E drama. "This is mediocre, no offense" -> labelled as villain by the entire Internet when all he did was give his honest opinion, and offered constructive criticism afterwards. This is the state of the Internet right now, you can't say anything if it's not sugar-coated in forced wholesomeness. I hope Charlie addresses this some day, and acknowledges how poorly he treated content as in his "when the bad guy wins" video.

That's ok because I don't pay for games, and people like me will even it out.

I’m not expecting to change anyone’s mind, but take a look at Charlie’s page, Mudahar, etc. All they do is talk about how bad stuff is.

cap. no ones accused of bullying for criticising redfall

Block them or ignore them. I'd tell them to despawn themselves but my comment would get deleted because everyone is so soft nowadays.

Not an issue on PS5

Devs use QA and blind playtesters for this. Not feedback from randoms who don't know what makes a good game

As if "great game, so nice that you put efforts into it, keep going" was constructive criticism.

@Colin Rini QA and playtesters focus on bugs and playability, not the overall design or direction. Smart dev teams don't alienate their target audience and do everything they can to learn the trends in what they want.

Facts! like for me, a developer's version of a secret ingredient for a successful dish is feedback. And the reason I even call it secret is cause some develepers and game making companies either don't know it or consider it as an insult.😢

In the long run, game pass will ruin any incentive to make high quality first party games. Day one releases already hurt sales and profits for a game tremendously. This will be disastrous

@@Rationality4Life if game pass is destroying there profits ,why do studios put there game on it?

@@jonaslowery837 I'm talking about day one first party releases on game pass. It definitely massively reduces sales and profit of those games. Third party games that have been out for years and are already cheap on sale are not affected by this. This also means lower incentive and hence likely lower effort put into first party games like Redfall

Or he’s just terminally online and using all of you morons for money and views because you all have no lives either 😮😢😂

@Rejalo24285 sadly yes

Enters Steam Deck

But even with that it’s super damn lazy. The screen could be much bigger and higher quality. And the graphics are sometimes barely even an effort. There could definitely be a much more powerful version if they actually tried.

@@Davidsworldtravels I agree. I’m surprised they haven’t released at least an upgraded version (don’t count OLED), but hopefully when they do it will be such a huge improvement that it will pay off.

​@@Davidsworldtravelssuper damn lazy? They made a console that doubles as a portable handheld. If you increase screen size, you make it less portable. Same goes for better hardware for graphics. This also makes a jump in cost of manufacturing the system. There's many reasons why Nintendo chooses these specs.

@@MrKevinKC yes I know but those specs were barely passable when they released it. By now it’s super dated. And so are the absolutely ridiculous screen borders. They’ve been cheap on hardware for a long time and I don’t think it’s unfair to say that. Mobile technology has improved a massive amount and a bigger and better screen is needed now that there are PS5s out there.

great take

People seem to forget that the person buying the game has also worked hard to acquire 70 dollars so I don't see the argument there

Yeah people don't understand that constructive criticism is a thing and is very important And integral to the creative process.

True, thats why when a homeless kid sold me a snack in the streets I shit on him since that shit was completely dusty, that little piece of shit want it to scam me, I almost threw myself at him to break his neck

@@Theblecquetzal and that constructive criticism doesn’t mean light criticism it means criticism backed up by facts

Not just American CEOs are trash but I get your point

@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok i wont

The word "American" is irrelevant..

well, he's the ceo of a American company, but, he's english

​@DontReadMyProfilePicture.0shut up scammer

Lol I have a friend that’s exactly like this. we once had a heated discussion about guacamole. I said I didn’t like it and didn’t think it was worth paying extra for on food and he, no joke, debated me for like 5 minutes over it

Bruv i loved tlou2 and this is the most relatable shit i have seen on yt comments lmao

It's the difference between a TRUE fan and a sycophantic fanboy. Fans are critical of the things they love. Fanboys just mindlessly consume product.

It's what happens when people become loyal to certain things. It's the same way sports fans are. Very defensive when you criticize "their team". Only this is so much worse because their blind loyalty leads to worse products for everyone else. The console wars have allowed Microsoft to become complacent since there are now a whole bunch of dedicated Xbox fans who will buy anything they release and defend them endlessly. It's exactly why being loyal to a brand or a company is such a bad thing. Because it allows companies to take advantage of their consumers, which they all do because companies are always going to take advantage of consumers for profit.

Grammar generates context, your dribbling.....

I was so glad that I still had my dusty PS3 when I got into MGS heavy, and I love having RDR1 as an option - cannot agree with you more.

You don't know that you couldn't have finished the video in 1 min

Thanks

Depends on elevation for boil times

@@XIN3OHd only if u live on mt Everest lol wtf

6:30 is the best amount of time I found for my preferred consistency.

Congrats on the pc

same i just built mine after having an xbox

Again, why the hell do you all care so much about hitting 60? 30 is still fine.

​@@InFiNiTeO7 dude its 2023, the standard these days is 60fps exactly because our devices can run things at that frame rate. Yes 30 is fine, but not for a 70 dollar "AAA" title lol. Even my computer, which at this point is 2 gens old, runs pretty much everything at above 100fps. For the expected price if you're seriously trying to defend such a poor product then you clearly also out of touch. That would be like buying a "sports car" only to find out it actually performs more like your grandma's family car from the 80s

@@InFiNiTeO7 People dump thousands into gaming rigs that should very easily hit 60.

@@InFiNiTeO7 this is a terrible take. Yes, I'll buy my 120hz TV and get THIRTY out of a 500 console? Let me guess, you're still playing on an xbox 360? 30fps is far below the standard, the console is far more capable than that. Sounds like you just enjoy getting bent over by companies.

I can only imagine it has something to do with old timer developers leaving to form their own studios as well

Love this show, good stuff

MST3K was always awesome.. ROSDOWER!

Anyone I know who actually only converses about media that way is hated for being so obnoxious and rude to the people around them who didn't sign up for your bit

I remember watching it with my dad, shit was funny as hell

Wow, I totally forgot about that show. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. It was definitely criticism, but it was hilarious, not mean spirited.

Lmfao locked at 30 on console, locked at 30 million on PC

@@bigdadybojangls9219 is it hard locked steady 30 fps? I wouldn't even be mad tbh if it was dead on 30fps locked

you can lock framerate in Nvidia control panel, no? If you have an Nvidia gpu that is. Most games I know of you can do this.

​@@JunkBondTrader u can also do it in rivatuner statistics server

Gamepass and affordablity is xbox's selling point - once they get Bethesda and some studios to work on games and make them good (idk how they botched redfall but I was never excited for it) either way I play Xbox and PC and finally just got my friends to get gamepass - which opened up our catalogue so much

xbox is the best family and new player console imo, like you said its cheap, and gamepass broadens the horizon for everyone, your friend got a xbox but no games and you still want to play with them? gamepass. your a parent getting your kid a christmas present but torn on getting him a game thats 60 bucks? gamepass. it is imo the best casual gamer experience

@@Snippyyy it’s a bait and switch the price will eventually start to go up

GameStop did bundles like that for 2021 holidays if I remember right which made everyone come in for Xbox, especially since there were still reports of faulty PS5s plus the shortages that were occuring. With most folks moving to digital and the Series S being kept in stock, it was a really good sale along side the Switch bundles that were occuring around the same time. Yes, when PlayStations were in stock, they got gobbled up because PlayStation fans still wanted their shiny new gen console, but it was neck-and-neck between the three that holiday season (was working like 30 hours a week for the company around that time and the Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday sale day was utter insanity). If GameStop had kept up the Xbox bundle, absolutely more Xbox consoles will sale because focus now has shifted back to Nintendo and PlayStation (mostly PlayStation because most folks who want a Switch have one now).

This is genuinely interesting cus everyone sees the affordability as a benefit. But people don't take into consideration the amount of money that takes to makes games and the amount of money that Microsoft has to be haemorrhaging to keep up game pass. We're talking about multiple triple a games coming day one for 10$ a month. The numbers just don't add up, not to mention that the 60 (now 70) dollar game model isn't viable, why do you think that even single player games have microtrasactions? Because the money doesn't come from the game, it comes from whales that spend their cash in those micro transactions. Although it's definitely not 1 to 1 the cost of older videogames was way bigger than today's cost (accounting for inflation) and I'm not talking Ukrainian COVID inflation I'm talking 20-30ywar long inflation. I fell like the industry is in a bubble where either every game goes live service or online because those are subscription models not a one time buy.
