Lack of content is the games biggest detractor
Dead Rising 3: lost some of its colourfulness, horrible fps drops and graphic problems
KI: Lack of content for a fighter.
Forza is in a tight spot. Moving to next gen they needed the time to build up new content to a game where content costs were spread over the last generation. Each games content can be ported up. Not so for this gen. That's why GT isn't coming and why they're making 6 on PS3. Which, I think is a mistake I think. I'm sure the Forza 5 will be stellar, but would it be good to delay the game? I don't think so. 90 percent of players won't noticed, but they'll be dinged for it in review scores.

No its gamefaq forums here on Neogaf. This is why there is an age minimum here.
You're forgetting something. None of that means shit when you're sitting in front of a great game saying "This is a great game".
You can review the console and hate it, hate the company, hate the policies, etc.. but you can't really deny when a game is good. Don't think that someone saying "Dead Rising is pretty fun" is immediately giving MS a pass.
Nah they re just trying too hard.

Also while Forza 5 looks great, I doubt it is going to blow minds on the graphical front. So the "next gen" factor won't help the game that much either. Sub 90 MC is pretty much a given. I think 85 is a good guess.

When will the embargos on FM5 and KI lift? Some info missing in the article.
I mean, I was the one that suggested that forza 5 should take a metacritic hit, but you dude.......
how about 65 average? you'd suuurely like that, wouldnt you?

Hopefully decent reviews. Though I honestly more interested in the Xbox review, I want to know how Kinect and TV works. I'm very excited about the UI.
but a game is a game at 60 dollars, AAA or not. I've enjoyed games on both ends of the 'review' spectrum and found some of the higher rated ones to be poo and vice versa.
im not saying I think it will reach unanimous 8s or 9s (maybe a few, lol) but come on now.. 6s and 7s have their place.

Polygon review guess
Ryse - 9.5/10 - Beautiful game with an amazing story, we just wish it was long. The combat is incredibly deep and satisfying and the multiplayer is well thought out.
Dead Rising 3 - 8.5/10 - One of the best launch games we've ever played. It took all of our critism about Dead Rising 1 and Dead Rising 2 and turned them on their faces. The game is beautiful and runs like a dream.
Forza 5 - 10/10 - The best racing franchise just reached perfection, with stunning 1080p60 graphics and new modes this is the new bar in simulation racing.

There's a very good reason for that.
Please, do tell.
Christ, way to sully PGR3's pedigree with comparisons to Forza 5.
well, even in that case, it will still be the PRETTIEST piece of playable and controllable computer graphics shit to launch this winter...
and above that, it will be a graphical piece of shit with specialization on amputations and roman era colosseum gore.
still makes it rather special POS, not a regular POS

That Ryse embargo is hilarious. It's like plastering the case with an AVOID! sticker.

Not really. Lots of games have embargoes the day of or day before release.
That didn't stop the Last of Us

Oh of course, heck until I play them I won't know either way. Obviously the scenario I wrote is assuming the games aren't as good as they seem. For all I know, Ryse could be the best game ever. I provably should been clearer on that, I wasn't saying that X1 games will be bad but rather that IF they were bad or didn't meet expectations, then the press would probably go easier on MS to keep the balance. Again, that is an entirely hypothetical situation, either way we'll know for sure on Friday when people have X1s on their hands
Maybe I'm still not being clear enough, it seems my comment did come out too tin foily when that wasn't my intention

Nothing! I said nothing!
Some of the stuff people are saying in here is unbelievable. Everything is a conspiracy against Sony.
ikr, This makes me feel very shitty about having already preordered and paid it off. :'(

Well, the Ryse embargo is Thursday at 6 AM EST, so it's not right at midnight launch...

Most likely Ryse will have bad reviews.
But it could just be like kotaku said and Microsoft wants to stagger the reviews to keep the Xbone in the news the whole week.
