Drama aside, I do believe that this game receives more hate than it deserves. I played it and considered it a fun mid-quality game. It worked fine, had decent driving and shooting mechanics, the story was also nothing to write home about in a good or bad way. I found the only problem in the game to be with the pacing and slight one note tone it has. It is far from a bad game for sure.

So well said. The continuing lack of high quality exclusives will be the death of Xbox. Having a reasonably priced subscription service with New Day 1 releases was the last thing holding the console together. The combined decision to raise the price of game pass and release their games on other consoles will bring small revenue in the short run but will destroy the console in the long run. The only way to right the ship at this point for Xbox as a whole would be to lower the price of game pass so that it is much cheaper than PSPlus (Not more expensive with arguably a worse catalog, and invest heavily in Developing Teams who are passionate about making fun games and not micromanage the hell out of their game. Staying the course will only continue the heavy fall Xbox has been going through.

@Anthony Public opinion will always play a factor in award decisions whether or not there is a direct fan vote. There is no such thing as an objective opinion in art. Period. To prove this there are a thousand different award shows giving them out to different games to be noteworthy. It's all bs. The only reason TGA is at all relevant are the reveals and trailers. Which seem to be growing less and less every year as there were almost no interesting reveals this year...

Almost no way this game makes it to publishing. Please don't announce your game before it's close to done. I'm still reeling from Star Wars 1313 and Darth Maul being canceled. I can't even mention Wonder Woman and Monolith RIP!! The only Star Wars game that can be counted on right now is the third installment in the Jedi series.

This year was stacked. Expedition was great but did not stand out that much in this killer group. Hoping next year will have just as many surprises although I'm mostly looking forward to Wolverine. Miss you Insomniac!
