Please, don't buy Redfall

AAA games are not to be trusted anymore. Furry simulator only. Redfall is an FPS open world game that recently released to terrible reviews, with people calling it one of the worst games of 2023 - so I investigated.

If you read this all you're a legend :)

It’s games like Redfall that make me wonder if we were too hard on Sonic 06

"Dysfunctional game with hands for legs" Mate, from what I've seen, I don't even think it has hands

[tumelomatsoara]

The most brutally honest review so far... Much appreciated🧐

Games have degraded so much, and the price tag keeps growing

I'm assuming that the "burst fire doesn't fire in bursts unless you hold it." Mean if you release the trigger mid burst it stops. That may not actually be a bug, because burst fire in real life is just automatic fire with a ratchet that limits how many times the gun goes off. Games often get it wrong and the burst guns essentially are run-aways when you tap the trigger. Other quirks about burst fire is not all burst ratchets are the same; the biggest difference being some ratchets don't reset when you stop mid burst. Say you fire two and release the trigger, you then go to fire a again, then shot 3 fires, then both the sear and ratchet reset. Then you fire one, your next pull is limited to 2. Where as some other ratchets always reset when the sear engaged so you always have the potential for 3 shots, so long as your magazine has ammo.
Tldr: burst mode may actually be trying to be more accurate to actual burst fire

how the hell did THIS take 4 years to the whole gameplay loop is to run to place, kill some npcs (very few), then grab thing and run back to safehouse. did they have a whole team of first year developers create this?

also, i swear theres one group of people writing all tv, movies, and video game stories and dialogue. its all generic and cringe and along the same lines.

I dont know how games were developed back in the days, like halo 3 and halo reach for example but i could assume they had basicly finnished their game before giving out a release date so that they could use the remaining time for trailers and polishing of the game, also beta gameplay

They are just trying to F you. The only way to stop such a thing is to let money talk.
But sadly many people just consume and dont care. I mean we are at the point where it is normal to have a 80% complete game relase for full price. And everybody seems to be happy and praise it if a patch pushes it to 90%.
Thats not how it should be. They try to F you as hard as they can anf if they get away with it they try it harder next time.
I owned Kerbal Spaceprogram 2 for 110 minutes. It was awfull.

I've been playing Redfall on the gamepass (I'm no madman paying for this game.) and I can say there is some good in there but with how AAA studios work it's Anthem all over again, a good premise by a good studio that was rushed out the door and because they are a AAA studio they aren't given any chance to patch up the game to be an awesome game before or after launch.
When i say this is like an Anthem problem, it will need what Bioware was working on for many months before being forced onto another project level of work. Basically changing most of the significant systems of the game to bring it more inline with what was the idea.

The open world being empty is kind of nice in a weird way with Redfall but that is not because the world is enjoyable but more the AI is annoying and can be ultra cheap, I'm talking head glitching AI with what feels like 100% accuracy with sniper rifles. The vampires are weaker than the humans and can one shot the underbosses (the UV gun is OP). The legendary guns mostly suck and feel weaker than basic purple guns.

With this though my enthusiasm for Starfield another bethesda title that is supposed to be coming out this year has diminished greatly as I can't put my faith in them to not make a space game with lots of worlds absolutely empty, and I'm talking No Man Sky but without the passionate devs level of empty.

This should’ve been an October release to maximize on the spooky season feelings. That should’ve also given them ample time to fix these glaring issues.

[missesyourjokes]

Games are essentially released at full price in a pre alpha state, and I wait to buy them on sale when they are playable

[jon-paulfilkins]

While creatives need to be managed (things they are prone to, false starts, feature creep, getting lost in technical virtue, and many many more) the power that the 'suits' have is too much and they lack understanding of the process/work involved. They just want their money back several times over. Too many games have been damaged by this.

I have seen several streamers played this live for hours without any issues. I've heard people ragging on it, but haven't actually seen any bad gameplay. Take a look at Brian Menard streams. He usually does about 3 - 4hrs. I didn't see him have any problems except for a few times he said he had frame drops. I haven't played it, but was going to download this weekend through game pass to play with my daughters. If it really is a crappy game for some I hope it improves or they get a refund.

2:09 I’d rather be a smart fella than a fart smella.

[UraniumPluto]

They released this and didn't take their time and make Dishonored 3 or prey 2

[JohnSmith-dzvj]

Watching all the bugs your having, I've barely had any of these happen. The vampire not being damged has happened once and the game has dashboarded me a few times, but that us all I've come into and I have almost 24 hrs played and quite enjoy the game

[noahbordeaux]

The sad thing I’m on new console and am having none of these problems except for vamps being there but aren’t actually there and it’s rare restart your game and it fixes it self 😂

[johnson]

I’m happy to see a online multiplayer fail so sick of this shit

[Phillip-kw]

I refuse to believe that this was developed by Arkane

[Emankind]

Sea of Thieves was empty and buggy at launch. It’s remained buggy.

And, arguably, is still not a great game due to a lack of top-tier talent and vision by Rare’s head devs.

But it has character. Redfall is an uninspired snooze fest.
