Maybe one day hordes of fans will gather in local arcades to play LocoCycle ironically and quote some of its notoriously terrible lines – Mi espalda! – but until that day, it's just a bad game, and there's nothing funny about that.

The All Great and Powerful One won't let go off her neck!

Lococycle and Crimson Dragon are giving me a bit of a Knack tea tho.

Toronto Globe - Dead Rising - 10/10

Not too sure if it counts towards Metacritic, but WOW that is amazing! A 10/10 for a launch game exclusive! When will Sony?

EDIT: It does count towards MC. Slay!

Let me save all the dragging to the visuals for future receipts like some of the Xbots have been doing recently

Quote:

Dead Rising 3 is clearly trying to use every trick in the Xbox One’s book, but when it comes to the visuals the results are only partially satisfying. The amount of zombies on screen (more than three times that of the last game) is hugely impressive, but despite the promises the frame rate isn’t entirely stable and individual details, especially the blurry textures, look decidedly current gen. And even then not as good as Grand Theft Auto V.

On Killer Instinct:

Quote:

Yet as thoughtfully put together as the combo system is, clearly it’s nothing that wouldn’t have been possible on older technology. In fact, strip away the particles and there’s little to Killer Instinct that feels new. Sure, it runs at 60fps, but so do its 360 and PS3 equivalents, and it does so only in 720p. Character models whiff of the previous generation – Jago’s hairdo is supposed to be spiky, but not jaggy – and stage backgrounds similarly fail to make a compelling case for Xbox One’s processing power. One mountain range backdrop looks disappointingly flat, but even the more enclosed stages are let down by drab, low-detail scenery.

Where is Ryse? I read that it takes three hours to complete the game. $20 per hour tea

Some game reviews (such as Ryse, Forza and even Zoo Tycoon on IGN) will only be released on/after the 22nd. This is because online isn't available until the launch day and some of these games make heavy use of the online.

Really some of these games that already have scores (like ZT, DR3 and KI) would benefit even more if the reviewers updated their scores after experiencing the online components. Xbox ain't playing with the online

Eros

Oh ok, so Titan Fall isn't a launch title?

Definitely considering waiting on getting the Xbox One till that comes out then & not getting it launch day like I did the PS4.

EdgeOfAddiction

Call of Duty reviews?

Eternium

These all sound terrible.

manwhore

so far better reviews for the games on the media box. But why? Will a Sony "about the games" fan elaborate on this or are they still on the phone with customer service reps going through the troubleshooting steps to get the ps4 working.

Because launch lineup is so important

the PS4 SHATTERED first day records, the Xbone won't even come close. The global receipts will be a kii

And once developers like Naughty Dog and Quantic Dream put out their next games, oh sis...

Dead Rising 3 got 8.3 from IGN.

Goosey

Bum bum be dum bum bum be dum bum, not interested in any of these titles

you'd have to sell your soul to play them anyways.

Right because we know if a system sells more then the better titles follow.. I mean lets just look at the Wii for example.

The Xbox360 was renowned as the system with the better reviewed titles.. the ps3 started to improve within only the last 2 years though. (of course a few hits every once and a while) I guess ps4 will be good at the end of its life cycle.

Slaying!

Down to 78 on MC tho

Killer Instinct is being called one of the greatest (if not THE) fighting games EVER! It's only being docked down because of the lack of content available right now but that will be fixed in the future when story mode and extra characters are available. A lot of reviewers are going to re-review the game when that happens. The CRITICAL ACCLAIM!

Only possible on the Xbox One!
