League Overview:
Welcome to Year 6 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The Metacritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2024. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Armored Core VI and it gets pushed into 2024, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2023. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2024. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

League Overview:
Welcome to Year 6 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The Metacritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2024. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Armored Core VI and it gets pushed into 2024, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2023. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2024. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

83 reviews now. Still an 86. Figured this would fall through out the day. Because up until today I was only hearing negative things about it. About what a technical mess it is. And how it has so many issues. Not that I mind. Its on my list. But I expected a much lower score because of the last two days of leaks and bad mouthing.

Same. Did reviewers just ignore all the issues? Or did they have access to the day one patch that the others playing it early didn't?

I heard it’s getting bashed on Steam cause of the issues. And lord knows why it’s 140 something GB for the install. That’s just morbidly obese for no reason.

The subreddit for this game is nothing but complaints about crashes, issues and bugs. No one has anything good to say in it. Wonder how all those review scores were what they were now. Because they played without the day one patch.

For some reason I thought Redfall dropped today. But I guess its tomorrow. Its also never a good sign when reviews are embargoed until the actual release date. Not too many times do those reviews come in glowing.

They don't need to release good first-party games on GamePass, throw them out broken, and fix them later. No one's really buying them

When I found out Redfall was more of a PVP game I immediately said meh. Not surprised it’s gonna get poor reviews. Let it get buried.

It's not PVP. It's co-up (more like Borderlands or The Division), which I've always liked. I'm not saying it's going to be good, but I hope it's good. Arkane Austin has talent; I loved Dishonored 2.

This isn't exclusive to gamepass. It seems like 90% of all games are released too soon and need major patching. When was the last time a major AAA title released in a great state?
not that I'm trying to say Redfall is a AAA title.

It seems like 90% of all games are released too soon and need major patching. When was the last time a major AAA title released in a great state? not that I'm trying to say Redfall is a AAA title.
It seems to be the norm for gamepass. Even ReR4 and Dead Space had minor issues... Not quite as bad as Star Wars though
