Not surprised.. this is the game that I expected to kill the reviews.

and the one reason I wanted the One at launch.

Forza Now hopefully Ryse is decent. Thinking about swapping DR3 for that if it's decent.

Even though Ryse has been said to be the best visually appealing Xbox One Launch game a number of reviewers have also said its short, repetitive, and boring.

 

[memphissfinest]

I THINK EVERYONE EXPECTED FORZA TO DESTROY

I'M CURRENTLY PLAYING KILLZONE ON MY PS4 AND BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE OF RYSE AND FORZA, I THINK THEY ARE BOTH COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR BEST LOOKING TITLE ON EITHER SYSTEM WITH KILLZONE RIGHT BEHIND THEM.

So after reading a few reviews I dont see any negs that cant be fixed w/ a firmware update.

the storage thing and battery life meter seems like they need to be addressed ASAP

but reports of going weeks on a charge or two aa's is crazy

How long does your 360 controller last on 2 AA batteries?

 The Verge

Battery life is much better on the Xbox One’s controller, which works with the Kinect and goes into a low-power state when not in use — I haven’t had to change its AAs yet

 Polygon

But you won't spend a lot of time worrying about batteries. We haven't been able to fully deplete a charge on our controllers in a week and a half of constant play.

 

[kesp]

Do you all think this could be fixed via software update in the future?

Still haven't gotten my GameStop email and I can't find it on the GameStop app. I'm gonna go up there and see if I can get my xbone copy for 10 bucks without the damn coupon.

 

[servechilled81]

would any stores have knowledge about how many consoles they're getting in on today?

You can't

- On your smart phone go to Gamestop PowerUp Rewards site... (google, not sure what it is off the top of my head)
- Page should look like this:

View media item 662169
- Under "My Account" there is "Active Offers", click that.
- Yours should look like this, with the two coupons:

View media item 662170
Click either of those and inside it has the code GS needs.[/COLOR]

Mine doesn't have any offers under that tab which is strange bc it shows on my acct that I purchased the damn game from there. This is frustrating.

 

[goldenticket21]

I just brought my phone to the store and they scanned the coupon from that instead of printing it

Also just picked up my Madden , can't wait. Tomorrow night is almost here

 

[milestailsprowe]

I really want that forza. Main reason I even want the One plus I read about talk of a new project Gotham. I don't wanna drop $560+ tax

 

[Bee]

View media item 662317Gamestop called me to pick this up earlier. Said I can get Forza, DR3, and Ryse when I pick up my system. I also brought in my 360 version of Madden 25 and traded it in for the Xbox one version. Employee was giving me a hard time because he said I needed the next gen offer coupon but I had my original receipt and also had it on my power up rewards purchase list so the manager just did it for me without the coupon. Anyone having troubles just ask to speak to a manager they can get it done.

I ended up bringing madden info target and getting $65 on a gift card I might just use it to get an extra controller.

 

[the qbz]

watching ign play 2k14 .....cant wait to pick this up
