KiLLer Instinct [Xbox One Exclusive]

[Norik]

What's sad is that this might actually be the best launch title for either console. Even when it's sooo mediocre, because the other games are so lame. Except Dead Rising 3 maybe, also XB1 exclusive. XB1 is currently up 2 to none for launch titles that matter. Even if they only matter for a short period of time.

This is precisely what I meant. KI is ok, but not worth $660 (console + extra pad + online + full game). There's no games worth getting for the PS4 either at this point, except for those you can already play on a current gen console (plus the PS4's failure rate is disastrous). If anything the Wii U has the best lineup, just because of how bad the other two seem in comparison. Though that's a topic for another thread.

If it's between the PS and Xbone right now, Xbone wins by far, but just because of how pathetic the [overhyped] launch lineups are. I still recommend holding on until better games are released, unless you absolutely must play KI. One benefit of getting the Xbone is your XBL payments carry over, so if you already have a 360 it'd be foolish to pay for two different online services.

Sounds very interesting! Want to know more about Ryse and Forze. I may get an Xbox One in the office I work atm soon too. So i can try out Killer Instinct for myself. ;)

I have mixed feelings about Ryse. The visuals are great and the framerate is silky smooth, and there's really no noticeable aliasing issues. HOWEVER, the combat is very clunky and awkward, so that breaks the immersion. As a history nerd the story also bothers me greatly; despite having a historical setting, it's about as historically accurate as God of War. So yeah, pretty game, but not much beyond that.

Forza is just Forza. The visuals are definitely above this gen's racing games, but I've been playing more graphically impressive racing games on my PC for two years now. Lack of ambient occlusion and excessive bloom also hurt it, but if you only game on consoles then it's surely a step forward. They say the pressure triggers improve the experience, but I don't consider myself qualified to judge a racing game.

The controller is also different from what I expected. It's very lightweight, almost like a Dualshock 3... not sure how I feel about that. The D-pad is clicky like a DS, takes some time getting used to. Buttons and triggers feel great, bumpers are meh. The buttons are a bit too close to the center, again takes some getting used to. Overall it's... different. And HUGE.

Counter breakers will make matches go by faster in Killer Instinct because it resets the combo bar while keeping the current damage and locking them out from breaking.

Ryse's combat is not clunky at all. I'll give you awkward though.

his english was correct Jinrai. Saying it's the best launch title for either console means that it's the best launch title period for the current console generation.
If he said Both consoles instead of Either console than it would be wrong, but it's right.

What's sad is that this might actually be the best launch title for either console. Even when it's sooo mediocre, because the other games are so lame. Except Dead Rising 3 maybe, also XB1 exclusive. XB1 is currently up 2 to none for launch titles that matter. Even if they only matter for a short period of time.

Nope, he said "either" console and if it was on "either" console other than the XB1 it would have been a let-down because let's face it, XB1 is just a superior console and it's going to vastly outsell the PS4 and Wii-U anyways... =]

I remember back in July looking back at the PS4 vs XB1 topic, and I remember your name, plus others I won't mention, blindly bashing the hell out of the Xbox One, complaining about DRM, praising the PS4 needlessly, and posting meme photos saying "PS4 has won the console war!" It's hilarious now, to read those same people suddenly agreeing with me (like Norik's posts now) when 4 months ago you called me a troll for saying those exact same things like the XB1 has superior launch titles and it's online will cheaper.... LOL!

It's almost as if you people forgot how wrong you were. I always said the XB1 was going to have a better launch and have a superior line-up of console release titles. Now you see people like you just admitting PS4 has a vastly inferior line-up, I mean you can bash XB1 exclusives like KI, but you barely have any PS4 exclusives to even praise!! xDD I guess you picked a side and landed on the wrong side of the fence....

really norik? disastrous? I don't think the failure rate is that bad yet. over a million sold and .4% of that have reported failures... .4% of a million is what? not as bad as the RRoD from the 360. as for this game.. yeah..

still not picking it up. Looks fun, but at this point getting an xbone for it is just... meh. I was looking at crimson dragon because i loved panzer Dragoon, but again... meh. Just really not interested in it. way more hyped for sc2 than anything right now.

i mean really.. No Cinder. No Riptor. No Eyedol. and spinal and fulgore come as the final 8 for season 1... Yeah. that's lame. I don't support the lame shit. feel free if that's what makes you happy. Me? ain't touchin that...

Well, thanks to Rekano and my friend Brad, I will be getting an Xbox One. I had no plans on buying one, but these subversive assholes managed to up and win me one from that Mountain Dew contest. They are certifiably crazy. And they probably have many tumors from the Dew.

So, I'll be on Killer Instinct. I've never had a console at launch!


EDIT: The RRoD was disastrous. The PS4 failure rate isn't there yet haha, it's still extremely low.
