Yea it seems like there is no room for a fun AA title anymore, it either has to be triple A or a indie looking game to be praised. Im fine with fun AA games, I even enjoyed Gungrave Gore

You could probably use Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall as an example here

Hi-Fi Rush was amazing, still the highest rated title this year, but once Redfall (the AAA) releases to bad scores it's going to be "Bethesda is trash, awful company, can't make good games anymore, Xbox ruined them" etc. etc.

Feel sorry that Arkane is about to experience what it's like to have their studio/games used as console war fodder too as a punching bag, console warriors wanting it to fail since day one, the trolling, etc. Discourse will be terrible for Starfield, Lol.

Pretty weird behaviour to see OpenCritic shitting on it before it's even out too, not a good look.

I mean, tbf. Xbots do tend to want to give credit to MS for games like Psychonauts 2 so you kind of have to take the L's too. Even if the game was in development well before Xbox acquired Bethesda (Arkane). Psychonauts 2 was announced back in 2015, well before Xbox got the studio in 2019. I know MS did actually provide meaningful support/resources to help with Psychonauts 2 in the two years Double Fine was under Xbox and then released. Which the Zenimax studios have been under Xbox for two years now as well.
