Wasn’t there some interview with the devs saying it was timed?
Did they admit it or just say "we have no plans for..." you know when a 3rd party gives that answer it's timed lol.
 
Wasn't it praised on these very forums.
I dono, i tried it the other day and I was put off by it in the first 15 minutes, felt like an ancient resident evil game. That and not one into horror games lol felt like cal of the sea, I really wanted to get into it cos the art direction looked fire but didn’t get past the first room.
 
Goes both ways, Xbox gamers who swore up and down it was going to be amazing will now say "no big loss" lol Either way it has always looked mediocre, they got peoples attention with that initial trailer that had no gameplay in it but once they actually showed the game it was clear to me it wasn't going to be good, the walking animations alone looked like something from the PS1/PS2. I wasn't interested in it when it was timed exclusive and I'm not interested in buying it now.
I was really Interested in it untill I played it, lol. It just felt really old. Even for an indie, the animation was almost inexcusably bad. I feel like if it had a less stiff animation system it would have been more enjoyable. It's just so clunky.

I didn't know until close to launch that you had very little control over the camera either and that it was like the old RE games where the camera was fixed most of the time, kind of makes some of the "but it renders the world twice" stuff less impressive.

Not from the majority of Xbox players here.
If one defender matters then Shawn (driedmangoes) would be the end all of any discussion on the Sony side.
Xbox people talking about it in it's thread defended the MC score.

I was thinking more of the "other" defender on the Sony side.
 
Val ignoring the actual comments in the main topic. Or just upset about the meta score joke tweet?
 
I never played the game. Not sure if I ever will. Backlog is too big.

I installed it, my teenager played it and he enjoyed it. Hopefully it makes good money for them on PS, since I like to see companies trying something new and the whole simulating two game worlds at once is a pretty non-standard thing.

I thought you bought the game and played it from the Medium's official thread in multiplat area 🤔

I was going through it for impressions and could have sworn you were playing it.
 
Looked interesting but didn't play it as I don't have a Series X yet. PS5 most likely going to be my primary console anyways for the foreseeable future so if might pick it up if I have the time.

Started playing Medium now on Gamepass PC. Clocked about 35 mins or so of gameplay or so. SO far so good., Visually it looks good. I have old school adventure game camera which is interesting. Pretty chill so far, but can be scary.

The Medium is coming to PlayStation 5. Get ready for September 3rd, 2021!
 
I played the game on PC for a few hours, I just can't get into it. I'm getting major motion sickness whenever there's 2 environments on the screen at once.
