Richard Ayoade was the highlight of the Xbox Showcase and no-one can convince me otherwise.
I'm surprised to see so much positivity around the Xbox show. We saw plenty of cool concepts, sure, but that is all they were. Concepts. We saw barely any actual gameplay, and the gameplay we did see of things like Avowed just looked kinda rough to me. Especially if you are assuming this was heavily curated to show the best the game has to offer.
I get that Xbox fans feel like they are starving, but I dunno if we needed a showcase that suggestions that prime Xbox might still be a good year or more away.
I get we saw more detail for Starfield but I dunno man. Cyberpunk 2077 burned me really like nothing else ever did, left me with scars, man. I see Starfield, the ambition, the scale, the leaps and I want to believe and be really positive and excited, but this feels like it is hitting all of the Cyberpunk 2077 hype bingo boxes. I feel like every declaration they made, CDPR also made about Cyberpunk 2077 in the lead up to that games release. I just can't go through this again.
I guess since this is on Gamepass you have less to lose, but I kinda wanna try and control my hype and expectation until they've actually landed the plane. If you are excited, my intention is not to ***** on your party, I'm genuinely happy you are excited and I won't stop you being excited, but I'm just too fragile at this point.
