Reforge Gaming

The recent look at Avowed gameplay is receiving mixed reactions, and still do not have an Avowed release date from Xbox. Sitting down with Kirk from @whatsnewvideogames - I myself have given my own Avowed gameplay reaction about the clunky feel and the lack of impact and player feedback.

However, recent info sounds promising, so should they delay it to continue to address player feedback? The Avowed extended gameplay video was helpful but continues to show a game that doesn't look ready.

Avowed is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios. Avowed takes place in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, in the world of Eora. The game is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2024 for Windows and Xbox Series X/S.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has met a very mixed reception from its fanbase and gamers. However, after some recent interviews, it's what the developers are saying that's changing my mind more than the gameplay we have seen so far.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The fourth major game in the Dragon Age franchise, The Veilguard will be the sequel to Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Starfield was one of the most anticipated titles in Xbox history. It landed well for some but not very well with most and has had its share of trouble since its launch but in a recent interview with @MrMattyPlays Todd Howard is saying some things that have me wondering - is Starfield just getting started?

Starfield is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. In the game, the player character joins a group of space explorers who must venture to various corners of the galaxy to acquire mysterious artifacts.

Xbox's struggles this gen are no secret. Every time they seem ready to turn a corner some seemingly self-inflicted situation sets them back again. On the heels of a killer showing at their Xbox showcase 2024, we once again see games having to come to Xbox late or skip the platform completely. Will this trend eventually stop or just get worse?

Black Myth Wukong has been highly anticipated by the gaming community and we are starting to see previews land and the feed back is almost universally positive. The Game looks amazing but I can't help but wonder about some of the challenges this game is going to face.

Black Myth: Wukong is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Game Science, based on the classical 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West. The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5 and Windows on August 20, 2024, with an Xbox Series X/S version currently in development.

The First Descendant has been called many things: Project Magnum, Destiny Killer, and Next Big Looter. What will we call it in the future? Great game or a microtransaction nightmare?

The First Descendant, initially known as Project Magnum, has evolved into an impressive looter shooter. Its development journey showcases significant progress and a commendable commitment to incorporating player feedback. However, the recent developer discussion video on their official channel, @FirstDescendant raises concerns. Is this visually stunning game merely a facade for aggressive microtransaction strategies? Stay tuned as we delve into the potential implications for players

The First Descendant is a third-person looter shooter powered by Unreal Engine 5. Become a Descendant. Fight for the survival of humanity. Descendants have unique abilities to tackle both solo and co-op missions. Up to 4 players use varied mechanics to defeat giant bosses. BE THE FIRST DESCENDANT!

PlayStation marches to the beat of their own drum without a doubt. Their willingness to be quiet often frustrates the fanbase but coming off the heels of a State of Play that was expected to be a PlayStation Showcase of 2024 a section of the fanbase is concerned while another is seemingly mad. News of Astrobot and Lego Horizon Adventures are being met with mixed receptions and most want to know more about first party bigger releases as well as Spider-Man 2 DLC.

Xbox game pass is unquestioned as one of the best values in gaming today but despite that it is a constant source of debate on whether it is good or bad for Xbox and gaming as a whole. Leading up to the Xbox Showcase 2024 I thought we'd see Xbox downplay Game Pass but they came out swinging with a series of great-looking trailers with every single one of them followed by "play it on game pass" proving my theory completely wrong.

My Xbox Showcase reaction was almost universally positive. The Xbox Games Showcase 2024 kicked off with a Call of Duty Black Ops 6 trailer, followed by Phil Spencer, and an amazing Doom The Dark Ages trailer. It was clearly the biggest event of Summer Game Fest 2024. But there were a few things that went unnoticed.

Sarah Bond and Matt Booty were also there including the Starfield Shattered Space DLC trailer and Stalker 2 and then there was an IGN Phil Spencer interview that made some things very clear.
