@SuperKMx which is why I don't expect a derivative game to be nearly as good. Half Brick has a track record of making excellent games, this developer doesn't. And when your first console title is a derivative of someone else's work, it is hard to get excited over it.
This is not the kind of Kinect experiences that I am looking for on Xbox One. I don't think the people that do own Kinect for Xbox One are interested in this type of game.
@Anthinator I never actually finished the first title. I thought it was super neat, but it went on the backlog since it didn't grab me. This one made time magically disappear haha
@DRL Hotline Miami is a better game in every aspect so there really isn't any reason to purchase this. It'd be like if a mediocre 2D Skateboard game launched alongside OlliOlli2.
@Utena-mobile looks like it'll be a good year for all consoles!
Also I just got into MGS a year ago. Could not get into the PS1 original, but I played Twin Snakes instead and thoroughly enjoyed it. Currently on MGS3.
@DRL It is simple but it seems pretty janky with detection and just the gameplay in general. I'd watch the Giant Bomb quick look of it if you want to see it in action.
@Vincent294 I hope its true (well, maybe not the exclusive part ) but yeah. Would nice to see a major game take shot at Madden again. Competition brings out the best of both series.
While it seems obvious there is a Joe Montana game in the works, I would take a random forum post with a lot of salt... That is where all the exclusivity and wild details come from.
It wasn't even a respected member of the forum as most of the members there don't even believe him.
@midnafanboy which is totally weird since it's a highly inappropriate.
To quote my friend Ben (who I 100% agree with on this with) "I'm also kind of sick of the "zombie nazi" trope because it takes a very harrowing part of history that is still fresh in the collective consciousness of more than a few minority groups and turns it into a wacky gimmick to be enjoyed by groups of people who it didn't affect"
@Mr_Stuey you should be visiting them more often. They produce some of the best writing and video content. Anything with a McElroy in it is usually golden.
@Mr_Stuey "Was Screamride ever going to get a large score from bigger sites ? No."
Don't agree with that at all. I mean it got a high score from some larger sites like Polygon after all. Not sure how big the site is affects the score.

@NaughtyOttsel22 congrats!
Re: Massive Chalice Lead's the Way In June's Games With Gold
@BAMozzy "Sony were able to offer newer titles"
Microsoft has offered up a brand new game for June and you are still complaining.
Re: Super Tough Platformer Electronic Super Joy Coming to Xbox One
@Red620Ti I reviewed the dlc / sequel on Wii U. It is challenging but super fun.
Re: Massive Chalice Lead's the Way In June's Games With Gold
"Grim Fandango, Iron Brigade, Psychonauts etc aren't exactly great."
You just said that two of the most beloved games of all time are not great. Stop.
Re: Massive Chalice Lead's the Way In June's Games With Gold
@BAMozzy "rubbish" yup. Not designed by one of the most talented game studios or anything.
also lol @ saying it should be on Facebook.
Re: Massive Chalice Lead's the Way In June's Games With Gold
@BAMozzy yeah because you're not getting MASSIVE CHALICE for free or anything.

Re: Accessory Review: Omni Plus Bean Bag by Sumo Lounge
Hey @DRL I never knew you were so pretty, but you look great in those pics in the article!
Re: Warner Bros. Gives Shadow of Mordor the GOTY Treatment
@Anthinator doesn't even have the nemesis system. Just crazy.
Re: Warner Bros. Gives Shadow of Mordor the GOTY Treatment
"It's worth noting that even though Shadow of Mordor was released on last-gen consoles, they will NOT be getting the new GOTY edition."
Considering how bad that port was that is probably for the best.
Re: Warner Bros. Announces Eye-watering Season Pass for Batman: Arkham Knight
@crippyd considering we have no clue how much content it will provide, can't really say if its an outrageous price.
That being said, I highly doubt it'll be 2/3rds of another game...

Re: Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations Confirmed for Xbox One, Xbox 360
Excited that they are doing an adventure game since the series fits the genre very well. Not sure about the 3D visuals though.
Re: Review: Goat Simulator (Xbox One)
@sinalefa plus Octodad on the way which manages to do the wacky fun with gameplay that is also fun.
Re: Screenshot Sunday: Issue 2
Go Rangers (not that I like NY, just hate the Pens lol)
Re: Review: Goat Simulator (Xbox One)
@EternalDragonX idk if it is trash.
I had fun with it, it just isn't a good game and this port has a lot of issues.
Re: Review: Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (Xbox One)
@EternalDragonX Dave is in the US too.
Re: Review: We Are Doomed (Xbox One)
Is J Allard in this game?
Re: Spy Chameleon to Bring RGB Colour Shifting Action to Xbox One
This came out on Wii U late last year as well.
Re: On This Day: 12 Years Ago Run Like Hell: Hunt or Be Hunted Released for Xbox in North America
@DRL Never even heard of the title
Re: Review: Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (Xbox One)
@Anthinator I never actually finished the first title. I thought it was super neat, but it went on the backlog since it didn't grab me. This one made time magically disappear haha
@crippyd thanks! enjoy it
Re: Save on Forza Horizon 2, Zoo Tycoon and More With This Week's Deals With Gold
Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved - Deluxe Digital Bundle is tempting but I don't have the money to spend on it right now. Fun game.
Re: Weekly Wrap: Happy Easter Edition
@Utena-mobile thanks! Glad somebody digs these wrap-ups. They are relatively easy to put together so I'm glad they are useful.
Re: Killer Instinct's Latest Announced Character Is Hot Stuff
Why did you use Adam Isgreen's handle rather than his name? lol
Re: Guns, Gore and Cannoli Brings a Pizza The Action to Xbox One
Now, I'm hungry.
Re: Weekly Wrap: Delayed Edition
@Gamer83 uh... Street Fighter says hi.
Re: Stealth Inc 2 Will Make Next Friday a Good One
Censorship.
Re: Out Today: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! (Xbox One)
This has a fart button. That is all you need to know, folks.

Re: Round Up: Battlefield Hardline Robs Great to Decent Scores From Critics
@DRL It is simple but it seems pretty janky with detection and just the gameplay in general. I'd watch the Giant Bomb quick look of it if you want to see it in action.
Re: Futuristic Shoot 'Em Up Aguraki Coming to Xbox One
@DRL @TwilightAngel at least it is a totally different genre so there is some reason to be cautiously optimistic, right?
Re: Round Up: Battlefield Hardline Robs Great to Decent Scores From Critics
@DRL 1 player looks like a bad stealth FPS. Props to Visceral for trying something new though but I wasn't overly impressed by what I saw of it.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Has An Exclusive Licensed NFL Football Title in the Works
@hydeks Madden games are fine. People just like to complain.
Re: Tiger's Away As EA Announce Rory McIlroy PGA Tour for Xbox One
@DRL yeah, I did a double take when I read the headline.
Re: The Remastered Version of Halo 3: ODST Looks to Be Coming along Nicely
@EternalDragonX which is why it still takes forever to get into a match and last week when I tried to play co-op it didn't work? Okay. Working great!

Re: The Remastered Version of Halo 3: ODST Looks to Be Coming along Nicely
Shaky start is a nice way of saying broken at launch and still screwed up to this day.
Re: Jason Voorhees Will Be Playable in Mortal Kombat X
@DRL seriously. I am kind of getting annoyed at the new releases despite every one of them being awesome.
Re: Roundabout's ESRB Rating Bumped from Teen to Mature
@DRL the thing that shocked me when doing research for this news article was that Dark Souls is a Teen rated game. How is that even possible?
Re: Weekly Wrap: Too Many New Games Edition
@DRL Rock Band and Wolfenstein for me.

@jongred I understood I was just joking. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Re: Review: Zombie Army Trilogy (Xbox One)
Man, really not sure how people are having any fun with this at all.
