What the hell? Kinect Sports Rivals isn’t terrible | PennyArcade

PA - "The Kinect may have sold well, but there wasn’t much to get excited about in terms of games outside of a few dance titles. Many experiences were made frustrating due to the motion controls, not fun. So I wasn’t exactly all that excited to try the jet-skiing game from the upcoming Kinect Sports Rivals."

"Still, this was already a much better and more
satisfying experience than nearly anything I’ve
used on the first Kinect"

kinect sports rivals is coming home....

Nolando3820d ago

sweet, everything will be better and more realized with Kinect 2.0, im hoping we get some strategy games that use the Kinect cool things can happen!

MrCastle3820d ago

A Civilization or Age of Empires with Kinect support would get me pretty excited. Add voice support to quickly find units and places on the map, and I think that would be an incredible game. Imagine building an empire while you're eating a pizza pocket.

Bigpappy3820d ago

You know, that was always my hope for Kinect. That it would be able to play strategy games and board games. If they pull that off I am going to weep.

mixelon3820d ago

Just wait while PA get painted as MS shills for saying something positive about X1.

Im actually hoping K2 gets good support and games. At least it would make the thing worthwhile - being forced to have a camera with decent games is a lot better than being forced to buy one with terrible games.

.. Still not buying though. ;)

Everyone said the same about the last game...... Then changed their mind after a few months. The rock climbing is one of there worst things I've ever seen in a game.

Would you say absolutely horrible hyperbole? :D

Halo 5?....pffft to each his own but Halo 5 is a great game, every Xbox owner I know enjoyed it, the campaign was nice I like the teamwork concept and the multiplayer keeps 'em coming back with great gameplay & modes so much content, 343 did a helluva job.

Christopher2518d ago

@4Show: Uh... going to assume that's a comment intended for someone else.

spicelicka2518d ago

Not Halo 5. It had a bad story COMPARED to past games but it didn't have a bad story overall. The gameplay was top notch, and multiplayer is still one of the best on the market right now. Custom games browser is the single greatest thing 343 did which I'm grateful for.

ninsigma2518d ago

Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.

spicelicka2517d ago

The story maybe, but some of the missions were extremely fun. The Sangehlios ones are right up there with the best missions in the franchise.

Kingthrash3602518d ago

Halos mp was great but became boring quicker than most.
The story. Naw that was bad and it's marketing was a lie. Made it seem like old master chief was gunna fight that new fake master chief but the conflict ended up being a one punch cgi sequence.
Not to mention fighting the same boss over and over and over....plus add the no split screen mp and whala! You got the worst canon halo ever made

brich2332518d ago

Compared to Halo 4, Halo 5's story was trash and not memorable at all.

ninsigma2517d ago

That's not really saying much though cuz that was pretty bad as well.

ninsigma2517d ago

Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.

And another article with 15 items from this website *shakes head*

MadLad2518d ago

Halo 5, FarCry 2, Dragon Age 2, Nuts and Bolts, and Gears of War: Judgement were all far from bad games. Hell, even Crackdown 2 was pretty fun.

There's a difference between a lesser sequel, and a bad game.

rlow12517d ago

With a Title that says "horrible sequels", most of these are far from that. Better title should be disappointing sequels. But I'm sure they went with the former to get clicks and bring in the fanboys.
