Now, enough of that negative stuff, there were alot more positive things than negative things throughout todays reviews I'd say. One piece of good news, which I'm sure will make several regulars of this thread very happy, is that a few reviewers let slip when reviewing the overall Xbox One launch lineup that all 3 of the Xbox One's main games were alot of fun, considering the fact that we still lack reviews for Forza 5 and Ryse, I'd say that it's a good sign that reviewers are callling them lots of fun ahead of their full reviews. With any luck, both games are going to get good Metacritic averages.


Thanks for all the information xD  Even the negative stuff :)  Hopefully they will get some of that stuff fixed up soon.  Though the 80% kinect actually sounds pretty good to me.  Much bette than this generations kinect -_-

Forza reviews incoming soon :)

83 for a launch title is impressive. I wonder where it will finish? Any late predictions? I don't even know if I have predicted yet...

I think when most people predicted it was before they knew about it having less tracks and cars.  After they announced that I think everybody will be happy that the game is still being reviewed well and it shows how great the game still is even though it lacks content :)
