I Played Sunset Overdrive last night at some XBOX event in a mall. It was freaking awesome.

Its basically the monorail sections of the Ratchet and Clank games painted orange and covered in dated internet memes.

I'm curious about Sunset Overdrive and came into Games to see if there was a thread about it because I generally trust those. It looks like there isn't one and this thread is as close as I'm gonna get.

I get that SA's antipathy toward the Bone runs deep, but I would have thought that its AAA titles would still get threads. Is it just that a Games thread about an Xbone-only game would get trolled into oblivion by page 2 or what?

serious answer. ther was a general bone games discussion thread. the problem is the lack of bone owners on the forums and lack of bone only games.

Wrong. The committee was formed and they all decided there could not be a sunset overdrive thread. The Xbox is Selling Fine, it's just the oppressive Sonypony SA Community has them all in hiding.

I don't even have a Bone and was looking for a thread because I know very little about the game. I generally don't buy consoles until a game gives me a reason to (PS2's was FFX, X360's was Mass Effect, etc) and I was curious whether this could be one such game, but without a dedicated Games thread I have to turn to (*shudder*) game journalism sites for my information. Gross.

and yeah the problem seems to be that even intimating that you might hold anything other than complete disdain for anything vaguely Xbone-related gets you treated with hostility and suspicion

going from the destiny clan numbers the problem is there are literally like 10 xbone owners on the entire forums and that isn't enough to sustain a general games thread let alone one dedicated to one really bad game.

note that the use of one here means 1, singular, and not three, which is the number of the xbox called one, which is confusing as it is the third.

Serious answer I guess is that even the biggest game releases for the The One generate threads with gently caress all interest, like the Forza Horizons 2 thread has like a page of posts after a month and can be found on page 5 of this forum usually populated by broken dreams and tumbleweeds.

The Titanfall thread thrived for a while on the back of PC gamers.

The truth is this is THE thread now for the console which is a shame because the 'bad' thread contained all the info and news about it and this one is people shuffling their feet talking about batteries and sometimes getting a boner about demos.

One excited guy popped in here ages ago after new games recommendations for his new console and after a few days someone managed to muster up 'erm Lego games are good I think' and no more was said on the matter.

In short :lol:

This is also true and I agree very much, I think they are confused now because mega threads are out and that is the thread creator's natural habitat so they get scared as to what to actually kick a thread off with (I am glad mega threads are out though).

That ad convinced me, I won't be buying the inevitable PC version, what a goddamn awful looking train wreck.

I might pick it up on a Steam sale for $2 or something as it does look like mindless fun for an afternoon, not sure I can handle the whole RADICAL DUDE rhetoric of it though for longer than that.

Hey, remember in that early Sunset Overdrive vid where if you paused it all the audio gear inside the cars was branded as Sony? Good times

I'd just end up wondering why I wasn't playing SR4 instead, and then do just that.

Also, did they abandon the dumb little mascot schtick up until that ad? Because it seemed like they were trying to force him into everything, then he just sort of vanished.
