G3AR: "Now no longer mandatory, the Kinect is not the consumer deterrent it once was. Granted, it makes navigating the Xbox One a little easier and more convenient, but that’s not a lot of function for an expensive and, arguably, ungainly piece of equipment.
Instead, if the Kinect is to have its place and avoid peripheral limbo, especially in the case of the Xbox One’s South African launch where Kinect-less consoles are available from the get go, it needs to make gaming that much better. Alternatively, it should offer gaming experiences otherwise unavailable to the consumer; enter Kinect Sports Rivals."
When an original game becomes a hit, it can be difficult to re-configure its secret sauce into an equally enjoyable sequel.
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.
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.
Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.
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.
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
Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.
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.
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.
"Some good digital games for PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 are on sale at Amazon. Deals include Battlefield Hardline $10, Star Wars: Battlefront Deluxe $35, Kinect Sports Rivals $12 and more!"
If you got young kids around the house, you don't want to be playing games like COD or DOOM. These are some kid friendly games you could get to keep your kiddo's entertained.
After that wave runner demo I really had high hopes for this game. It had really decent graphics and the kinect seemed to work really well with it. I preordered and got the battletoads outfits from gamestop which was awesome. I got home and it turns out that the only well done game WAS the wave runner one. It didnt recognize your face the way they advertised and the other games sucked and had a terrible time trying to track your movements.
I had some fun racing the waves for a few weeks with some friends and my wife but I traded it in and got something else. Not to.mention two.months after buying my. XB1 my kinect broke. Rare has seriously fallen from grace and I fesr this might be the preverbial straw that broke the camels back.
