GavinGT said:I'm not saying it's a conspiracy. I'm saying publishers want to come to IGN with these exclusive first-review deals because they tend to be lenient with those scores.
PopcornMegaphone said:And I'm saying in light of the score your argument is ridiculous. In this industry usually anything below an 8 is considered really poor.

looking forward to playing dance central and kinect sports really, has any 'hardcore' games been announced with kinect support?
SuperÑ said:I eagerly wait for the Kinectimals review.
Megadragon15 said:You forgot about Steel Batllions
You mean for launch? Not really but there are a bunch of games like that down the pike, most of which we don't really know much about. Child of Eden comes readily to mind though.qwerty2k said:*edited as although i know i set this whole thing off want to remain on topic and positive if possible*

The 10/10's for Kinect Sports are gonna make some people shit bricks.Chrange said:lol...a 7.5 gets 'moneyhats' conspiracies? No wonder this needed its own thread. :lol

That's good because I've been gently nurturing a brick of shit in my colon for a few days now, for this purpose.[Nintex] said:The 10/10's for Kinect Sports are gonna make some people shit bricks.

dark10x said:I'm still feeling a bit baffled by the excitement, though. There isn't a single launch title that is even remotely interesting to me. Even stuff like the Wii and DS (which I feel had terrible launches) had a few things that were appealing. This lineup is more on par with the Jag CD and 32X launches (OK, perhaps not THAT bad, but close enough).
dark10x said:Hopefully there will be some Kinect demo stations setup at some shops. Best Buy seems poised to offer this as they have a huge demo station section now including one that is obviously for Kinect (but not yet setup). I would definitely like to try it.

What did you foresee happening?Man said:"The challenge of the game is to learn how to control it"
"Menus are downright terrible unless you're using voice"
"Once you learn how to steer it the game is actually really easy"
"Not userfriendly"

Snuggler said:Well, it seems that Dance Central is by far the stand out title when it comes to hype, it probably gets more mention around here than all the other launch games combined but I think most of the excitement right now is about the tech more than anything. It's something new and people want to see it for themselves.
I'm personally hyped to just try it out for myself after all the excitement and bullshit since launch and I look forward to using it for dashboard navigation and stuff like that as much as playing the announced software.
V_Ben said:Replacing one wrong with another doesn't make a right. Both are as bad as each other. It's what sells, and thusly will be what will be created most often by developers. It's down to the devs to do original and fun things with the genre they've chosen (Notes your avatar).
IGN seemingly doing horrible reviews and not giving honest purchase guidance. I foresaw them continuing their trend.Megadragon15 said:What did you foresee happening?
Amir0x said:You mean the current dynamic of literally every genre ever conceivable under the sun, including the mini-game compilations, fitness games and dance games that Kinect has?
Never in the history of videogames have we had more diverse offerings.
I guess we just didn't have enough lag before, though. Pump it up to eleven

aegies said:That's some pretty awesome context removal/flatout falsification of Jack's review you pulled off there. Super efficient!
- The challenge of the game is learning how to play it. Why is this weird?
- The menus are an abortion. For reals. But you can control them using your voice, which helps.
- Once you learn how to control the game, it's easy... to control the game. Quote: "But once I got into the groove and retrained myself to play the game the way it was telling me to, it all became a lot more fluid and easy. I've played the previous Sonic Riders games, and this is definitely the most fun I've had with the series. It brought back fond memories of playing Top Skater in the arcades. "
As for your other bullshit, I quote the following:
"Each of the 16 tracks has numerous shortcuts and secrets, so there are multiple strategies to perfect. They're all well designed, they feel unique, and they're all large and vibrant. There's a lot going on onscreen, from dolphins jumping over the track to temples collapsing, and the game runs beautifully without any slowdown. "
"Sonic Free Riders is, ultimately, a fairly standard racer that works well for Kinect. Pretending that you're on a hoverboard is actually a lot of fun. The tracks are well designed, the level of board customization makes the game more robust than many racers, and the numerous multiplayer modes keep the game entertaining past the main missions."
I didn't particularly enjoy the 20 minutes I spent playing Sonic Free Riders. Jack genuinely did, with caveats.
But Kinect supporters told us that Kinect was for the casuals, now its for the 360 crowd? :lolKafel said:The 360 crowd didn't get them at least. A bit of catch-up won't hurt.
It's not like it's the only thing they get these days.

The thread will stay open so people curious can check the scores without having to sift through the main thread.

It's not difficult to understand at all. Launch titles always tend to receive generous scores.DangerousDave said:I don't understand very well how the review of Sonic Riders Zero Gravity (or even original Sonic Riders) can be much better (or at least complain about much less things), and get a much lower score.
