The potential was there, but we were a bit underwhelmed. Thanks for watching 👍
bring back third person horror fixed camera angles!
Jake I’m not sure why you feel the way you feel. Me growing up to games like Silent Hill, OG RE and Clock Tower, I can really appreciate a game like this in this day and age. Game looks gorgeous and not every game requires combat to be good. Well those were my 2 cents. Hope everyone enjoys the game as I did.
Before you buy but its free on Game Pass
@PAKISTANI GAMER 2.0 this will be the only game, besides broken punk 2077 and ac Valhalla we will have to play for this next gen till April. I’m kind of not happy about us getting a 8 hour horror game.
You just dislike Xbox deep down in your heart that’s why you don’t like this game😡😡😡
Xbox exclusive 🤡
Just gonna assume at this point Troy Baker is in every game
@Mr D Deep down we’re all Troy Baker but we don’t realize.
It was a good performance though, wouldn’t have noticed that it was me if someone wouldn’t have told me
I feel like It’s either Troy or Nolan in every game. Maybe they have some kind of secret agreement.
Getting sick of him honestly.
Kinda tiring to be honest. I hear him everywhere
GAME PASS OWNER:
*We don’t buy games here*
@Andrew N There’s no substantial frame drop between ‘single screen’ and split screen sections, my Ryzen 3600 + RTX 2070 Super handles it all maxed out in 1440p with Ray Tracing Forced (always on) and it keeps it in 45-60 fps most of the time with drops to ~30 fps in reflection heavy scenes. You can also choose Ray Tracing ‘On’ instead of ‘Forced’ and then the fps is a lot more stable as the game decides which objects RT is used for to keep good performance.
@M D congrats you win stupidest comment of the year!
@dimsumboy22 what’s the point of owning a game when it’s gonna collect dust down the road?
Gamepass games are the games you find in the $5 bin at gamestop lmao.
@Octavio Vazquez Bey cringe
Wait just Jake?… Not Baldino?
It doesn’t feel right
And another vid with no grains of salt… Jake sus.

@DevilGames NOT IN MY CITY!
Must be a synth.
“Not having combat is refreshing”
The irony in that statement if you’re a big indie horror games fan.
Well the game is not that Indy it’s a studio made of 100+ guys so let’s say it’s AA. And then well I mean sure Amnesia and Soma have no combat but this game was compared to Silent hill not to the aforementioned. So you should at least create more interactive gameplay than just walking and gathering items.
Just saying.
You can play other games too so maybe his personally were action oriented.
@Chris Jones I think a very good example for an Indie Horror game would be Welcome to the Game 2. There is no combat, but damn, that’s a scary game where I shat my pants the first couple of times whilst playing it.
Maybe he meant refreshing from playing other games. Idk tho haha
Since Amnesia, pretty much every well known horror game (Indie or not) lacked combat mechanics, so i’ve also found that statement quite odd.
The game wasn’t great.
The game wasn’t bad.
It was medium.
How did Jake miss that pun.
7:55
🤯 I actually just laughed out loud ! 😂
…
Puns to eazy to guess and very cheesy, once I heard his opinion on the game I literally though of the pun.
Well, that’s not rare.
“Before you play this game for free if you have Game Pass”
You can get it on PC without paying for gold
Obvious click bait is obvious
@Knack’s knapsnack
I was gonna say chickenBOX’s lack of exclusives hurt him, but…….um………I was wrong.
@InnerRise pls share it with the group
@Owen Good 4 u😂😁
I wonder how many games have interesting concepts but poor execution.
@YRH#002B yeah but he is still loyal to asuna only
@I record with a phone
I’m watching it.
Seems fine to me.
Kirito just came back to life.
@I record with a phone 2nd half strip the plot and turn into Kirito Harem.
Watch dogs legion
@Ttttle2010 Fair point. I’ve also heard some of the latest spin offs and all that have been good so who knows
Gameranx: The medium *before You Buy*
YouTube: SILENT HILL
I just noticed that hahaha wtf?
Yeah I’ll give it a go but it seems underwhelming
@Brian A we 2 hurt. Finna Replay démon souls & miles Morales to calm down 💯
@InnerRise just play it on pc no need to have a stroke pony
@Generic White Guy explain
@Brian A how is he hurt when your first next gen exclusive is mid af lol
@omega458 tbh i need a new game and just bought a new pc so im poor
The Media gives The Medium a medium rating.
@Draven Ripley It advertises gamepass alot better.
@H.H. Music its becuase this game as really good moments but also has really boring moments. But overall id say it’s good but not a must play. Or in other words if you do play this you won’t be disappointed but not 100% satisfied especially if your a silent hill fan hyped up for this game.
I’m seeing a lot of sites giving it a 9/10 and 76 on metacritic so it’s not a bad game just not for everyone.
MMM
Overall positive actually
Having played every Bloober game so far it sounds like it lives up to their standard of passionate but not quite AAA quality. Not knocking them but the folks expecting the next Silent Hill will probably be disappointed. Probably a good Game Pass game to play through but not to buy
The medium is their best reviewed game. According to metacritic/opencritic The Medium is 7.5/8 out of 10 game
thats the problem though
@Draven Ripley ok, I’ve never played their games before I just know it has a resident evil/silent vibe to it. Seems like one of those games that will keep you on your toes for most of the game.
this was a good honest unbiased respectful comment and we need more of those in the youtube comment section 🙂
@Charles M. well bloober is known for niche AA games you either love or hate observer etc etc. This game just got so hyped up because Akira Yamaoka and Troy Baker got involved and the cinematic trailers made people believe this would be the next silent hill so yeah.
Youtube: “yup, this is Silent Hill”
The game is chosen by the uploader so gameranx checked it as silent hill not youtube haha
@Chris Jones unfortunately konami forgot about that and it it went down hill after 4 (some say after 3)
@Joe manco gold
that a lie hell silent Hill had combat and it had a better story than this
Lol seen that
So Jake. What i am hearing is that this game is ripe for a Steam Sale? Yes? Yes. Most def.’
@Vinícius Medeiros yeah but I am in no rush…. If only I had.. Oh, what the bloody hell is it that they call them. Blasted. It’s on the tip of my tongue. What the deuce is the name again? If only I had the ability to traverse to the past where I could have sworn I “played” with these these other children when others were more than the mere acquaintance…. more like some one who coincides with my principles or can offer words of wisdom. These other similar aged and minded children were by my side in in nearly every good and bad moment in time… I can not for the life of me remember what they are called. I need a moment to regain and collect my thoughts.
@Anonymous *leeloo voice* “game pass”
Game pass
funny way to spell game pass 😉 don’t sleep on it my man
Very cool idea for a game, really like the theme. Hope to see MS give this studio more money for their next game.
Well the fact that this is on game pass will have many more people play this and talk about which will eventually push revenues for the game and a hopeful sequel…. I have gotta say, the game pass move by MS is legendary…
@gameranx no matter what I don’t really play games like this but it seem creepy for me troy baker alone
@gameranx We can only hope, thanks for the reply.
@gameranx maybe a DLC
the concept and a lot of the ideas are so cool. The Medium 2 or a new The Medium with a new story or concept could be amazing
I really like the art aspect, so i´ll give it a try when I have a SX or a SS
The Medium is a medium tier game. Got it.
If I had a series console I would still buy it at full price just for the visual and sound design alone.
no jumpscares? ok Im in, I have a huge respect for horror games without jumpscares.
there are a few, one fairly early on but its more of an atmospheric/psychological horror game.
Finally watching a Before You Buy before I buy
Edit: I have decided not to Buy lmao thnx Jake
@Syuna Frost lol this guy. why don’t you support the games you want to play. If you aren’t interested enough to play it then don’t buy it or pirate it. why waste your time to pirate a game if you don’t care enough about it. Your whole sentance makes you look like a right stupid twat
I’ll just pirate it on pc for free not paying for gamepass I’m getting it for free foreal unlike these fake gamepass xbots bragging about it being free while paying $15 a month lol
If you still have doubts about buying it, you can try it in the gamepass and apart from “The Medium” you have many more games that could interest you
