Xbox One : Thread 03

Ryse looks like one of the worst games of all time. From the game play vids you can see how predictable the flow of combat is.

The combat looks no worse than the 3 recent Batman games or Sleeping Dogs and those all scored well and were considered decent.

"Decent" doesn't quite cut it in Fallows Land, unfortunately.

Brilliant live gameplay of Xbox one titles on Gamespot, just seen Forza 5 now about to get live play of Crimson Dragon. Later they are playing Ryse, Killer Instinct and DR3 amoungst others.

Pretty disappointed by the crimson dragon impressions Expected dead rising to get 7-8 so I'm good with that, but this seems to be getting poor reviews. I think I'm still going to buy it, since I got Killer Instinct free (surprised that got 8.4 off IGN but I thought that looked awesome).

Never put it past these idiot critics to completely misunderstand the game they're trying to review.

Crimson Dragon is the only thing that looks interesting. It could be good.

[SUMIRE]

Crimson Dragon was a Kinect game once after all.

[gambit6613]

Pleasing to see DR3 getting decent scores. This is not helping my week go quick, the hype is really starting to get to me now

[sj33]

Not only was Crimson Dragon previously a Kinect game, but it was also a 360 game - it has been floating around 360 Partnernet for ages, apparently. Still, here's hoping the reviews are wrong.

[Kron]

If you enjoyed Panzer Dragoon I'm sure it's worth getting. They just seem to be marking it down because its an on rails shooter.

[SUMIRE]

One of the games I bought DR3 is getting good reviews. I was definitely going to buy Killer Instinct and that is also getting good reviews. My "freebie" Forza will hopefully get 8.5 to 9 if it ever downloads! Ryse, no idea. Crimson Dragon I will buy anyway regardless of the slightly crappy reviews.

Same as me. I got KI for free so I don't mind buying Crimson Dragon. Is it gonna be like ?10?

[gambit6613]

About to show live stream for Ryse, will be intersting to hear what Gamespot think of it.

if batman was all just about the combat it would of been panned relentless combat of this style gets boring fast, but it has stealth, Metroid style elements, new tools and gadgets, and a massive world to explore, crammed full of extra stuff and missions to do. Ryse has more in common with scrolling beat-em-ups of old than the recent batman games as that's all it is a brawler, and at present it looks like a next gen Heavenly sword, looks amazing at launch, plays so so.
