Excited to get home and play this once it goes up on the Xbox store. Reviews in general no longer do much for me,I find them interesting and prefer to visit them after I have completed a title so that I can compare my criticisms with that of "professionals".

Yeah, when I saw the 2.9G size, I just decided to pre-load on XBO, since I figured it'd be the same as PS4. I think for $15, the graphics are serviceable (I'd kill for a AAA Korra game). I'm in love with the animated cutscenes though.
Would be nice if Sony / PSN would get their shit together regarding preloads for EU / AU. 8 hours and 20 minutes before it's up for me. I really need to sleep.
And I just regurgitated from one of the earlier, pre-OT threads. So kudos to someone.

The timing windows aren't short. I think they're excessively large for this kind of game.

No, bayonetta 2 is going to blow this out of the water, assuredly. At least, based on impressions so far.
This might scratch a bit of the Platinum itch if you're willing to really invest in the battle system.

Probably not, but better have a PG-lite experience than no PG at all.

But value is the ultimate in subjective criticism. While $15 may not be a lot to you, maybe someone else thinks that's a lot to spend on a game. Should the review then state that it would be a better deal if you picked it up in a sale? Value is completely different to every single person so you can never be all things to all people. It should be taken out of the review entirely and the game should be judged on it's merits alone. A bad game is a bad game, regardless of value.
There's more to it than just how it costs, though. It's a $15 licensed game published by Activision. With how they handle licensed games, it's no surprise about some of the things.
dat title, hahaha
As they were in MGR, and people still thought it was really hard.
I always feel like I'm missing something when they say stuff like "Extreme difficulty will be as hard as Platinum fans expect it to!", so, no hard at all unless you're not familiar with the genre?
Step it up, Platinum, I want some challenge.

Only about $300 and amazon prime will be able to dry those tears. Korra's a great game, but Bayo's gonna be WOW.

The animated scenes aren't done by the regular animation company from the TV show, Studio Mir. They're done by another company called Titmouse, so that's why it looks different.

Super bummed out about the initial reviews, but I'm not gonna read them beyond the score, Like most games I want to play it a fair bit myself to form my own thoughts without them being coloured by other opinions.
Also super bummed, all of my consoles are in another city so I can't play this for another week .__.

From what I heard from other people on streams is basically tracks from the show. I don't know myself, because I don't watch the show, but sounds nice.

Just as good as the show. Definitely one of the high points of the game.
Haven't heard anything that wasn't in the show, but they picked good tracks that go along imo.

Generic Korra and Korra-like music.
Might remind you kind of Okami because of the thematic similarities.

A shame about the early reviews, but as with anything, I'm better off trying it myself and doubly so with a Platinum game.
Won't be playing it until I catch up with the show. And after Bayonetta 2.

Hopefully they got some book 2 & 3 stuff in there soundtrack-wise.

I love how we've reached a point where low scores from IGN and Gamespot make me anticipate a game more
they're that garbage

Salty bitches shoulda bought a Wii U

Nope, but if you don't have any chance to play Bayo 2, this is better than nothing.
...but GameSpot gave platinum's other game this week a 10 and ign gave it a good score too. Are you anticipating that game less?
People would best know Titmouse as the company that animated Megas XLR, Metalocalypse, Afro Samurai, Black Dynamite, and they also animated the intro for Avatar: The Last Airbender.

yes? Because I don't own a Wii U (yet)
Yes, the 15 bucks licensed Activision game is equal in every regard to the full price GOTY candidate, exclusive on a Nintendo console. Obviously.

But I got a Wii U tho....
I think you've found the source of this nonsense.

Yeah, get a Wii U and Bayonetta 2. This game will be finished by the end of the day for most people. This is just the appetizer!
Playing Bayonetta 1 then 2 will be a joyous occasion. I freaking can't wait. The demo was glorious.
This Korra game does not look good at all
http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-legend-of-korra-review/1900-6415921/
THE GOOD
Bending looks cool
Pro-bending matches are reasonably fun
THE BAD
Throwaway story fails the source material in every way
Repetitive boss fights
Lots of careless details sully the combat encounters
Uninspired runner segments

BAD

All you people are making me feel like I should get Bayo 2 and I had no intention to do so.

14.99 =/= 60.00
Maybe if this does well you'll get the big-budget game you apparently think this is, reviewers.

Price doesn't factor into it. A bad/good game is bad/good irrelevant of the price.
If you can afford it and have any remote interest in character-action games, do it.
Not me, don't like these kind of games. Just curious if it would end the whining for a port ha.
(Plus I think Korra and avatar are much more interesting than Bayometta and the witches/angels).

Gaffers (in the Korra Xbox thread), who have actually played it, think its a fun budget title with decent combat but are aware of the shortcomings.
