Figure I would start as the first official review (that I know of) has been published. Will update as more come in.

JeuxVideo: 15/20

Conduit's translation said:
Gameplay :
Very simple but efficient action scenes, a large amount of QTE and some poor sneaking levels.

Graphics :
Top notch textures, mind blowing effects and no transition between game and cinematics. Awesome.

Sound :
Really good ambiant score, good dialogs, and good feedback from the weapons.

Duration :
Almost 7 hours, without running, which is a bit short (knowing that cinematics is half the duration..).

Global :
A lovely object, between a movie and a game. Some can considers it half-win or half-fail, it is the way you love Videogames that will be decisive.

Is that review legit? Embargo isn't up until Thursday morning.

Edit2: Sounds like legit review is legit. Carry on

NotLiquid · Feb 17, 2015

This ought to be interesting. Game looks completely ace visually but I wonder how the worries about the game play and length will reflect on reviews.

Servbot24 · Feb 17, 2015

This thread will be fun.

I'm guessing low 80s/high 70s. Should be a good game.

i-Lo · Feb 17, 2015

There will be chaos here.

coolasj19 · Feb 17, 2015

Welp, I'm not cancelling my pre-order since I need the game to buy Bloodborne but I guess I'm still interested in the reviews.
Remember guys, don't get banned.

Floridian · Feb 17, 2015

Kane1345 · Feb 17, 2015

Hold onto your butts...

My guess is a 70 average

R3TRODYCE · Feb 17, 2015

I expect a mid 70's avg for this on metacritic.

Dawg · Feb 17, 2015

How is jeuxvideo able to break so many embargoes? Not the first time this has happened.

There was a picture of the mag in one of the Order thread.

It's titled First Legit Review.

Legit review is legit.

brandonh83 · Feb 17, 2015

due to a lot of cut scenes (although interactive at some point with QTE)representing half of the game

This is why I'm concerned about the length. A 5-7 hour game is fine, but not when half of that is taken up by cutscenes.

Rafy · Feb 17, 2015

How the hell did they manage that!? Embargo lifts in two days at 2pm CET!

Supermanisdead · Feb 17, 2015

I'm expecting high 60s and low 70s for this one. Too much controversy.

They always do that and always seem to get away with it.

Fracas · Feb 17, 2015

I'm a big fan of Ready at Dawn, but I'm still skeptical.

I'll probably pick it up later.

SargerusBR · Feb 17, 2015

Oh boy

It's a magazine so they have to print and ship it.

inb4 the goddamn bloodbath this thread's gonna be

Betty · Feb 17, 2015

It starts.

--R · Feb 17, 2015

Whoa, they broke another embargo. They did it with Watch Dogs too.

On one hand, if you look online at the "movies" people make where they just take all the scripted sequences and cut scenes of a game and edit them together, many of them are 2-3 hours long.

That being said, most of those games are 7-10 hour games.

I'm going to say 73. Either way this thread should deliver lol.

FTF · Feb 17, 2015

Why the hell would they play it on easy mode?

Cutscenes total 2:10.

The fastest anyone has completed the game is 6 hours, average is 9.

Floridian · Feb 17, 2015

I'm expecting a low 80, but honestly i'm buying the game regardless.

Shivvy_NTL · Feb 17, 2015

im expecting avg 80s
Predict 82meta

Low score and before embargo from jeuxvideo, probably for hits.

metalslimer · Feb 17, 2015

Well the other Order threads have been insane, so maybe people have worn themselves out making the same arguments?

freenudemacusers · Feb 17, 2015

but is the atmosphere a brandy or cognac?

x24hrs2livex · Feb 17, 2015

I thought the embargo lifted on Thursday? Im snowed in and cant get any popcorn until tomorrow

Edit: 70-73 metacritic

plasmawave · Feb 17, 2015

Don't forget this review!

Nibel · Feb 17, 2015

Is Jeuxvideo so huge that they get away with this?

I think they did this a few times now and it's rather shady.

Ricky_R · Feb 17, 2015

I think I'm ready.

East

Indian pale ale.

shortsoptional · Feb 17, 2015

I wonder if reviewers opinions and scores are going to be swayed one way or another based on the controversy this game has generated? In other words, will they up/lower the score based on how they think other people are viewing the game instead of themselves?

RoboPlato · Feb 17, 2015

Same here. Just hoping for a solid game and a good ride at this point.

For 75%?

LegalEagleMike · Feb 17, 2015

This is the hurry up and wait thread. Doubt we will get many reviews for a couple more days.

falconxcrunner09 · Feb 17, 2015

I am expecting about an 82-84 for this.

Dawg · Feb 17, 2015

Nirolak said:

Oh, that's right. I didn't know it was a magazine.

Citizen_Insane · Feb 17, 2015

And it begins. There was a 60+ page thread just about the length of this game. A standard third person shooter. This won't end well.

Where the bunkers at?

Mushroomer25 · Feb 17, 2015

It feels like the past three months of GAF have been building up to this thread.

Metacritic average around 70, at least one big outlet gives a score under 6.0.

rad spent several years on this and deserve a higher score

I'm just going by what I'm reading. If the review is inaccurate about the cutscene density they need to be called out.

It's just that print media has different embargo dates.

Nintendo always has that too in my experience. Print is always a couple of days before online media.

Freedom = $1.05 · Feb 17, 2015

that's a 75, or a solid C in the grade scale.

oh boy, this confirms everyone's suspicions that we have a C game on our hands.
