Happy enough with the DR3 reviews, I'm a fan of the series and was expecting the reviews to be 6's so I'll be getting it anyway now. Was expecting better from Crimson Dragon though.

Crimson Dragon is getting panned by everyone.

I dont fancy my chances of picking up a console on friday seeing as im not free until after 1. Kicking myself I preordered a ps4 instead.

LocoCycle is getting panned worse than Crimson Dragon at the minute.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting it but will leave it now, not a big fan of fighters but if I like the free player in KI I might get the rest of that instead. I might even try the golf game either, I'm a bit of a fan of those games.

Nailed on for it being a free 'Games with Gold' title midway through 2014 I reckon.

Mr Freeze

^ Based on that, LocoCycle will be the first free game with Gold. :pac:

EDIT: @ Mitch. Great minds

These reviews are flying out now, hard to keep up :pac:

Crimson Dragon or the golf game? Probably both with the reviews, I might get the golf one if I have a bit of spare credit on my account but not otherwise.

Yeah that is what they are trying to do and also if a player is going through a rough patch, it will be mimicked in the game.

FIFA has done that for years through Live Season, so it's not as amazing as it sounds. :P

Crimson Dragon - but LocoCycle looks to be stinking the place up too so thats probably nailed on too!

Xenji

I love how Polygon have reviewed Zoo Tycoon as being better than TLOU and has it on par with DR3 :pac:

Grayditch

Well it's all about personal opinion, man.

And with that said, it's my personal opinion that Polygon is a joke site

Xenji

I cannot keep up with all these scores now, so I will leave you these

Forza review ?

Mitch Connor

So Dead Rising and Killer Instinct look like decent buys according to the reviews.

LocoCycle and Crimson Dragon (Damn...) to be avoided.

No keen on PowerStar golf at all due to its micro transaction stuff.

Very disappointed there doesn't seem to be a good XBL title to go for. Something relatively cheap to add to the more expensive retail games. Disappointing.

Not out till Wednesday and it is Thursday for Ryse, which I reckon will be panned.

Fingleberries

Might be worth to watch out on Metacritic over the next few days for official reviews.
http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/release-date/available/xboxone/metascore?view=condensed&hardware=all

Although, that being said, possibly best to avoid the User reviews because apparently CoD:Ghosts is a 3.2 user review - and it's not even been released yet. Hmmm, Fanboys much?

Mr Freeze

Peggle 2 is still looking like the best XBOX ONE game by the long shot, pity it was delayed until next month.

You know... it's probably a more accurate score for it.

It'd be a bit harsh - the current score of about 78 seems more accurate. A good game, not a great game (as Mr. Dunphy says).

Have you even seen any gameplay? Zoo Tycoon looks surprisingly good.

Polygon are the only outlet that said they didn't notice any differences between PS4 and X1 BF (or Cod, can't remember which), when all other outlets were saying "PS4 looks better due to the 1080p, 60fps" when in truth it was actually running at 720p, 30fps on the PS4 also – so I have to respect them for that, no bull****.

Most sites said the opposite about CoD actually and that it looked better on the XB1, they are looked upon as a joke as they are funded by Microsoft, they are a running joke on most sites mainly Neogaf, the TLOU review really did not help their cause either.

The game does looks good though.

Forza seems the standout title at least based on optimisation for the new hardware. Would be extremely surprised if it wasn't a firm 9/10 game.

One of the funnier things I've seen was the reaction on NeoGAF to the polygon review.

On Polygon saying that they could not see a difference between 720p and 1080p:

"LOL, Polygon are a total joke for not being able to see the difference between 720p and 1080p"

After it come out that it was running at 720p all along:

"LOL, Polygon are a total joke for not noticing that it was 720p and not 1080p all along!"

Seems they can't win.

Nope, they are completely chastised over there and constantly discredited when a poster mentions the name and we think we are bad here.

Shame about Crimson Dragon but both Killer Instinct and Dead Rising 3 got scored better than I thought they would
