It's one of those things, shit happens, no studio has a perfect track record and every studio has a stumble at some point. They can hopefully pick themselves up with support from Xbox and Bethesda and come out the gates swinging next time. Think the best option Imho was to release Redfall and move on, Arkane can maybe try to support it post-launch and try to salvage it but it's the core of the game itself that most reviewers are taking issue with and that would require a soft-reboot at this stage of development and I'm not really sure a delay by 1-2 extra years would go down much better and at that stage, it wouldn't even be the same game which was revealed to the general public, it'd be something entirely different, might as well just move onto a different IP then. |
Well they should feel proud, keep their heads up and get to work patching the game. Despite all the negativity it is part of Game Pass catalogue, a 1st party game none the less, and there is and will be people playing and enjoying it.
And for these people it doesn't mean a wank what reviewers think about game's core mechanics or what it's metascore is. But it needs to be polished to a respectable state and they can do it.
