That's possible, wait for more. Panzer Dragoon/Zwei got mixed reviews.

Calling CS a spiritual successor is an insult to Panzer Dragoon. Team Andromeda created an amazing world that with its own unique language, and architecture.
This looks like a dragon flying around a boring generic world.

A six? I'll be the judge of that.
Not surprised if it is a six however.

Ugh :/
And I am guessing Ryse will not fare any better.
Thank God for Resogun and...Flower.

Damn, this was one of the games I really wanted to play.
Ps..Not that I particularly care, but I don't want you to get in trouble OP, isn't spoiler tagging the score frowned upon?

Shouldn't be surprising...it's a niche, $20 game that has not much content from what I have seen from the streams.

Real-talk:
Infamous SS and Titanfall will be the first MUST BUYS of next-gen. I guarantee it.

Nothing! I said nothing!
That's just a terrible post.
Actually it does matter. If Ryse has repetitive gameplay I'll buy it at a discount. If this game gets 6-7s across the board....@ $20 I'll consider it if I'm bored or interested.
There's a reason Steam has sales throughout the year. $20 or less and people buy the crap out of games...even if they're mediocre.
that kind of sucks... I am expecting (and sadistically hoping for) bad reviews for Ryse and DR.. but this was always one of the games I was looking forward to if/when I get an XBONE. Still have my copy of Orta even though I don't even have a system to play it on anymore... 
Still wish I knew someone who was getting an XBONE. Really want to give this a shot.

It's an on-rail shooter that was originally a Kinect-only game.
But music sucks? Oh damn it...
This is still on my list of 'must-have XB1' exclusives, damn it! /denial

polygon review says the music is incredible.
I wonder how much the entire Kinect-only nonsense from the beginning affected the level design. You just cannot have the same kind of action, speed and precision with hand motions, and from the article it sounds like they didn't manage to retool the game properly for analog controls.
Let's hope Futatsugi keeps making games though. Commercial failure is a given, but if it's a critical stinker as well? Can't imagine Microsoft wanting to give him more money in such a case.
Edit: Microtransaction bullshit as well? Goddamn.

Is that to be the tagline for this generation? Every review thread is "To be expected"
Destructoid - 8/10
I don't get why anyone takes this review so seriously, when there are hours of stream gameplay that do a much better job showing off the game than a few paragraphs.
The reviewer didn't touch on the elemental affinities at all, nor the different dragon types. It sounds like he played though with the default type, didn't pay attention to maximizing his score or effectiveness at all, and fell on the old "repetitive" standby.
Just seems kinda mediocre, and "lets push this to the side, so we can get to the big retail offerings!". XBL might just see games as games now, but it seems review outlets still have an underlying way of playing favorites and putting some above others... bleh.

There's still hope then!
Did you read the review. The guy said he was a massive fan. Said he went back to the old games to see if nostalgia had clouded his vision, but went as far as saying he had more fun in the first stages of those games then the entirety of crimson dragon.
