Will this game get me swoll?

datpanda3664d ago

I'll admit that just in the title itself, "Hardcore Gamer" + "Kinect Sports" didn't add up to me.

Godmars2903664d ago

At this point "Hardcore Gamer" just means someone who buys and plays everything. Regardless of actual quality.

user95589033664d ago

What is a Hardcore gamer supposed to be? Someone with no job that plays video games all day?

Godmars2903664d ago

@BrobaFett:
"Someone with no job that plays video games all day?"

More like someone who, like many reviewers seem to do, runs through a game as quickly as possible and fails to take in or even register any subtleties past the first level.

Pretty excited to play this tomorrow. Was a huge fan of Kinect Ping Pong last generation. Sounds like they did a really good job.

Would you say absolutely horrible hyperbole? :D

4Sh0w2513d ago (Edited 2513d ago )

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.

Christopher2513d ago

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

spicelicka2513d 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.

ninsigma2513d ago

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

spicelicka2512d 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.

Kingthrash3602513d 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

brich2332513d ago

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

ninsigma2512d ago

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

ninsigma2512d 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*

MadLad2513d 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.

rlow12512d 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.
