Knew it was gonna be shit when I saw an Ubi PR guy say the game is not designed to go up against Steet Fighter and Tekken, but designed to be played with casually with a few beers.
When you have to tell people to drink alcohol to enjoy your game, that's a red flag.
my name is jalen and I am a super saiyanThere's some nonsense about building up your "Ki" meter, which is achieved by standing still with your arms out.
As a matter of fact, FW was one of the reasons I upgraded to Xbox One, and I'm glad I did. I like the game a lot, and I don't have issues pulling off most of the moves (although you need to be precise for the grapple, and I must still work on the backflip). I'd give it a 7/10 (with a bonus point for creativity)Man, all those peeps who preordered the One because of this game, MAN!
Bad Game <> Bad Kinect
To each his own, I guess, it's not the first time I appreciate a game that other people hate. Although I sometimes get the impression that some testers don't even try to like/understand it (for example, thinking that it is unresponsive is a sign that they can't make the difference between a canned animation and free gameplay - even if it's explicitly written on screen "YOU CANT DO THAT RIGHT NOW !").
*edit : a few videos, since at least the bashing got the game some attention :

ouch!
Last part is very true, no idea why you would expect a 1:1 motion with this kind of game, it's very clear when you see the game that it's canned. Most people will still flail around and then videos and gifs are made that totally pulls the Kinect use out of context.As a matter of fact, FW was one of the reasons I upgraded to Xbox One, and I'm glad I did.

For the console called Xbox One, eh?
Ahaha goddamn, VideoGamer's tagline is so bad.
"Tae kwon no"
They gave it a 2.

I would understand a 4/10 or a 3/10 score, but 1/10? I didn't play it but it doesn't have horrendous graphics, musics etc.
It could have the nicest graphics and music ever experienced in a game and the sheer bliss on the senses could make you have epiphany after epiphany, but if it plays as bad as they say it does, then it deserves the 1/10. It's a game, not a blu-ray.I would understand a 4/10 or a 3/10 score, but 1/10? I didn't play it but it doesn't have horrendous graphics, musics etc.
When Polygon gave it a 2, I knew it had to be more like a 1.
This doesn't even have the Eurogamer score yet...
Feeling sad for the developers... there probably won't be a sequel, and it has so much potential. :(
Don't really read Eurogamer that often, so had to click on her review history. Fighter Within, Zoo Tycoon, Enslaved and Leisure Suit Larry without even scrolling down? If that was me, I'd be requesting some time with a therapist.Originally Posted by Auto_aim1
They gave Ellie another crappy game to review. :(
I'm half joking on the Enslaved, don't shoot me
Bloody MS shills and their XBox exclusive bias!When Polygon gave it a 2, I knew it had to be more like a 1.
I love how the devs said it won't be as bad as the last kinect fighting game for the 360. They said they learned from the mistakes.
Yeah...
Yeah...
Improved camera, but the same old crap game.
So much better than previous one !
I notice a trend in all the reviews I've read until now : not a single one mentions totems, which is an ability you unlock somewhere halfway the solo mode (which is also a long tutorial). Nor belt ranking, actually.
I wouldn't be surprised if most reviewers didn't spend more than 30 min with the game...

This comes as no great surprise.

Maybe in Kinect 3.0.
Wow, the racist stuff in this game makes Lococycle look like a bell hooks broadside.
Hopefully the next podcast has Ellie talking about the game as well.
So it's not like in the natal announcement video? Who would have thought.
looked like shit from the start, not surprised
I'm shocked that kinect can't handle yet another game. Completely shocked.
if MS brings back their DRM policies on Xbone during the new console cycle, please alert Batman immediately

Hilarious review. I'd find it even more funny if it triggered the end of shite motion control games but it won't, god i really hate you Nintendo!.

Just blaming it on the Kinect is a cop-out, seriously. But I don't know what I should expect sometimes.

i feel like a kinect fighter would work best from a first person perspective. disappointing that devs can't work this shit out despite the supposedly more powerful and precise kinect.

They should talk to the Xbox Fitness devs. It works flawless there.i feel like a kinect fighter would work best from a first person perspective. disappointing that devs can't get work this shit out and make it work despite the supposedly more powerful and precise kinect.
There's a reason Kinect "benchmark titles" like Chrimson Dragon or Ryse moved away from Kinect after all those previous disasters like Rise of Nightmares.
Kinect is for fuzzy stuff like dance games, where the game looks for similar movesets, not for precise controls.

I never paid attention to Eurogamer or Edge reviews anyway. Gamespot, IGN, Polygon are the places to be.
But no! Say hello to DJ Joao. One of two black characters in the game, he fights not only with a pair of headphones attached to his belt but while wearing a pair of earbuds, just in case anyone forgot for a moment that he is a DJ. I suspect he lives in fear of an opponent one day discovering he is listening to Mumford and Sons.
The other black character in the game can "communicate with voodoo spirits". Her biography reveals she lost her family in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. No, not too soon, perfectly appropriate, well done.
Don't worry, white people, you get stereotyped too! Meet kilt-wearing ginger thug Feargas (sic). "A ruined Scottish aristocrat and blacksmith, he divides his time between renovating the family castle, playing rugby and boxing." There's also a blonde Russian woman who dresses like a prostitute, the usual collection of assorted ethnic minorities sporting shaved heads and vaguely tribal tattooos, and a cockerny twat who pronounces dojo "dodgo".
See, this is where I can't take you seriously. That's on a Way of the Warrior level of terribad. All it's missing it Shakey Jake.I'd give it a 7/10 (with a bonus point for creativity)
Ellie is sooo good with words. I, for one, don't mind her reviewing terrible games. They are so funny. And who knows. Maybe she choose it herself.
How is the podcast btw? Last time I listened to it, was few years ago and it was apalling.Hopefully the next podcast has Ellie talking about the game as well.
Eh, all fighting games are full of silly stereotypical characters. If I were to be bothered by that, I wouldn't play Virtua Fighter, Tekken nor DOA.Originally Posted by LiveFromKyoto

Playing fighting games for the character background is like watching porn for the music.
So much for that "Xbox One has a bit better lineup than the PS4" thing I've been seeing around in the hardware reviews. Seems to me that the Xbox One is launching with just as many mediocre (or terrible) games as the PS4. Even the good Xbox One games have a discernible disconnect with their consumers what with the microtransaction stuff.

Xbox 1/10
Please, not a single person ever cited Fighter Within as a basis for that claim.
