Ori and the Blind Forest (PC, 360/One)

Nope. Microsoft hasn't cared about its 360 customers for two years.

Yeah. Eventually it'll be One/Win10, but not yet.

It's up now. Just search "ori" to find it.

It's live on Steam as well.

I stumbled onto this passionate rant from Hero on the Kotaku review page:

It's why, for all the polish, production, craftsmanship and love, Rayman Origins and Legends were met with wave after wave of bitching by the Capital G Gamer. "It doesn't belong on a disc," they screamed. "$60 for a game that's 2D?!?! LUL," they chortled. For all their effort originally, Rayman gets more respect and attention as a F2P endless runner than a "AAA" 2D platformer.

So here we are - another 2D game with what had to be a sizable budget, but this time already resigning to its fate. That it can have the AAA chops of phenomenal looks. That it can be an also-ran platformer (that's criticized, whereas samey Assassin's Creed, Batman, and Uncharted knock-offs get praise or a pass). All this but it only will ever 'deserve' to be $20 on its best day...

So...thanks Capital G Gamers. You brought us here - where only one type of monumental effort will ever be seen as worthy of full MSRP, while inventive games, games that throwback to ignored genres, all while pulling out what you would consider AAA, next-gen, 2D will always be in the discount ghetto, where you so frightfully believe it belongs.

He's basically saying you're a douche if you don't support this at full price, and I tend to agree.

Yeah, it disappearing from the Coming Soon section and not being in the New Releases section was odd. I had to search for it as well but I think it is in the New Release section now.

And then it'll go back to being just XB1.

I'm quite glad I didn't spend $60 on Rayman Origins or Legends. Even as free downloads I didn't enjoy my time with them enough to consider making real purchases that would be quite discounted by this point.

Abyss Odyssey was far more original both as a property and in terms of gameplay. Where's his rant for that game?

I'm not a horrible person so I bought this.

Capital H Hero is the worst.

I'm not going to buy it now.
