The Medium was ALMOST awesome



The Medium (Xbox Series X/S, Steam, Windows) didn’t win me over, but it has a lot of creative ideas that need to live on in other games. Let’s talk.

  1. I think this what Sony meant when they said gamepass like service isn't sustainable, it is good for smaller budget games, but established AAA titles mostly pull their profits from physical /steam sales, for those just maintaining service on gamepass, for xbox is quite expensive I would assume.

  2. I kinda dont care if this game has a little gameplay because i like walking simulator but the pc port though im not gonna hate them for it because they are not really big studios but i will wait for them to fix the pc port

  3. I feel bloober team, as a small team, did their best game to date in terms of production and I would even say that it may be overall their best game. I just wish this game had more… I miss some survival and I think if they had found a way to maybe add some type of combat mechanics with enemies to choose between run or waste resources or some sections with a little more hearth pounding live or die situations… you know more consequences and hard choices! I know it's not really the kind of game they where going for but they at least needed something else to bring this game to a great horror game (and some small tweaks seasoned with a tad more polish)

  4. For me on series x there was so much aliasing, and pop in, things weren’t loading in on time, it’s a buggy mess, I don’t know why it’s so bugged for me lol.

    For me my 4K tv feels off, I’ll try playing on my 1080P monitor.

  5. I totally agree that a place like gamepass or nintendo eshop would be the ideal place games like these… a platform for interesting and unique games or developers to get a foot in the door. But like the nintendo eshop, unfortunately these avenues for games do become saturated with former mobile games and the like. I love my switch and i love indie games, but i hate having to carve my way through garbage games that have been tossed into the same barrel. It is a tough one but at least the medium has set the foundations for something great that could possibly become a top tier game in the future. P.S. i want more alan wake haha

  6. Jake said you got lost but you summed it up, game pass is Netflix of games, you will find gems and shit on same platform…till Sony or Nintendo can do something like this I will vote to game pass with my wallet!!

  7. Most people are forgetting this is a single A studio of 90 people.. they're acting like it's a Microsoft first party triple A banger it's not even a Microsoft game at all LOL.. they're acting like this is some big Triple A banger, this studio is trying to be on the cusp of double A.. but they're only 90 people so they are barely double A.. LMFAO the tiny game kind of like tell me why ..there wasn't supposed to be any combat or challenging puzzles to stump you ..it's just a narrative game that's an experience and tells a story I'm pretty sure half of Gamers knew that and half didn't especially cuz it comes from Bloober who only tell stories.. I guess it guess it depends on your expectations?? But Game Pass has way more amazing games than a does bad games … and some of the smaller games on game pass or some of the best games I've ever played and are amazing… if you only like to play AAA go spend your $70 a game.. Game Pass isn't for you.. if you just love to play great games.. and all kinds of variety of games… then game Pass is for you..I found little games like Katana zero and dead cells carrion games you would never pay $60 for and there's some of the best games ever Streets of Rage 4!!.. smaller games like that all gamepass is great games .. large or small that's what makes it amazing !! Its full of amazing little games nd also tons of absolute AAA bangers and everything in between… that's what makes Game Pass unmatched and something nobody in the industry will ever replicate..(not as good) it's going to reign Supreme for many many years it's only going to get better cuz Microsoft knows what they're doing!! They're kind of taking over the gaming world at the moment and it isnt going to stop..Have you seen their earnings call lately..lol.. imagine if they had Halo infinite at launch or studios were acquired a bit earlier holyshit!!.. now they have a first party that no one can match the industries in trouble!!! Lol

  8. I hope Microsoft finally just seals the deal with Blooper and acquires them because what this team needs is a better financial backing which could make this game from what it is to something significantly better and bigger. I know Microsoft helped with the finances a little bit but they would be more invested if it was their own studio.
