Well that fucking happened. Man…Washing my brain out with some other games today! As you folks no. No sponsors so with your help, tweeting, facebook, sharing, its the way we grow! Hope you all do well. Make sure to tweet, share https://www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming
Well, I wasn't interested already due to not being good with horror stuff and knowing this means I won't waste time getting my base Xbone to download this on Game Pass
This is the result of gamepass being cheap, you get what you pay for. They just need to sell an interesting idea in a shell of a game and throw it on gamepass, people will play it anyway why would they care!?
Dear everyone with a PC. If you haven't grabbed xbox game pass before you can grab it and play The Medium for $1. This sounds like a promotion, but I'm just lookin' out. Peace.
Both of those worlds will be available to see at any time, and can be switched between seamlessly, meaning the game is rendering two separate locations simultaneously. Looks like your incorrect ACG
You're usually my go-to for reviews, and I tend to agree with you most of the time, but not this one (and unfortunately, Vampry, which is just trash, although you said it was a buy; returned it the same day). I think the graphics are decent, perhaps certainly not for this current gen but perhaps circa 2019, and the game is intriguing. But as always I do appreciate your criticism, like I said, you're usually spot on. Either way, thanks for what you do.
Looks whatever. I'll try it on gamepass so it'll be nice to complete on the weekend. Wasn't hoping much from this title but, considering my low expectations, maybe I'll enjoy it. Thanks for doing these reviews man.
Looks like they should of fucked off the split screen and just gone full silent hill alternate reality instead. Split screen worlds seems pretty pointless.
This is a meant for day one gamepass. This also shows how gamepass is going to ruin the quality of games.. sure its a good deal but its quantity over quality.
Only ps5 can fully eliminate this pop in… Ps5 has more than 2x the speed of xbox series x.. Xbox series x has 2.5 ssd speed while ps5 is the only platform at the market at this moment that has 5.5 ssd speed the difference is more than half 3 speed,. Sony advise is not to fully utilize it , but its all up to the developers if they want to use it… Only ratchet and clank use 5.5 full speed of the ps5 switching place to place in an instant in a large scale environment without any pop in according to digital foundry…. This medium game on xbox series x they need to adjust the rendering time according to xbox series x ssd capabilities.. Only ps5 can handle this to clean all the pop in.. To be honest i really don't like sony statement on ssd 5.5 , they want developers to make their games slow on ps5, to avoid disoriented by the players.. There are some players wants to take a break on loading time.. While i want instand loading or no loading at all. ..
I'm glad I didn't go next gen yet. They need to figure these systems out or else there is no incentive to buy one. I'm disappointed with games I've seen so far. Barely any exclusives made specifically for next gen. Step it up!!
This genre is so dead to me, nothing new has been done and everything in the pipeline is copy/paste. Could care less if it is on GP or free on Epic one day, just another overhyped game that is already dead.
Ay man…imagine if The Medium was presented like you can switch thru worlds seamlessly similar to what Titanfall 2 did…I kinda think I would have preferred that, but I’m not too opposed to the split screen.
Finally a honest review that along with the digital foundry the game is exactly what I thought it would be this game is another mediocre AA game for gamepass not the technical showpiece people were making it out to be I watched the 18 minutes on a high end pc and was not impressed and the animation is also rough!!

So games real name is…."The Mediocre "
Well, I wasn't interested already due to not being good with horror stuff and knowing this means I won't waste time getting my base Xbone to download this on Game Pass
Jaaassssoon Deeeeruuulllloooo. Whats my name again 🤔
this is a wait for sale if it's not on Game Pass. but because it is, and SkillUp liked it, I'd give it a shot.

Was mad I couldn't get series x,but now I wonder what I even wanted it for,I'll stick with my x.
Best and most trustworthy game reviews
Dear everyone with a PC. If you haven't grabbed xbox game pass before you can grab it and play The Medium for $1. This sounds like a promotion, but I'm just lookin' out. Peace.
Worth noting that this game is on Xbox ultimate pass (which new users can currently get for £1 for 3 months).
It'd be real cool if he took a breath from time to time
I had a premonition that this was going to be medium-quality at best. Thanks for the honest review as always.
Maybe silent hill will be good if it ever return's
Thank god this game wasn't hyped as much as Cyberpunk 2077 was. Otherwise we would have The Allies at our borders.
Both of those worlds will be available to see at any time, and can be switched between seamlessly, meaning the game is rendering two separate locations simultaneously.
Looks like your incorrect ACG
All I can say is Thank You.
It features stunning graphics and a unique Dual Reality feature, in which two separate worlds are rendered at the same time.

Thankfully it’s on Game Pass and I need something to play because I’m already bored with Cyberpunk
Jeebus.. you beat this game up for first 5 minutes before finally saying something good about it. 😂
Game..pass..

Thanks for being honest and saving my money.
Well its an Xbox game i wouldnt expect it to be good
Shame this game isn't that great. Looked like it could've been really good.

The only reviewer I trust!
Probably too late to get a reply but,
No word on PC performance?

You’re the best!
Really awesome work just trying to help the algorithm
Sad.. it had potential
This game sounds really boring.
Ay man…imagine if The Medium was presented like you can switch thru worlds seamlessly similar to what Titanfall 2 did…I kinda think I would have preferred that, but I’m not too opposed to the split screen.
Please, please start putting section tags into your videos for the different parts.
IF anything this game just failed getting my attention ,thats all I know
Game Pass Ultimate member over here! So no need to wait 🙂
I think it's a lack of fleshing out the main character that makes this game boring.
