LOL

So Dragon Age and Bloodborne are suddenly bad games? Bloodborne for instance will almost be certainly one of the front runners for GOTY.

Bloodborne is very good but not a 9.

 

[draughn101]

Can someone tell me if the GameTrailers Review is full of spoilers or not? I like their opinions!

It's not bad. Listen to it and don't watch it.

 

[jimbobsmells]

Can someone explain to me what this BEYOND thing is?

 

[Newtype-001]

Yeah don't know how can Bloodborne get a 9 with such crappy combat

 

[Megasoum]

Please run great on my 770....

 

[nortonff]

When was the last time we saw someting like this:

That statement..look at that.

 

[Kriken]

Kevin also gave Dragon Age a 9 and Bloodborne a 9 his opinion doesn't mean much.

Not to mention CD flew the gamespot guys out to their workplace for like a week.

I was right, there was no way this game wasn't going to get high scores regardless of it's actual quality.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I've been planning on getting it. The review scores are nice, but I just hope my taste will go well with the reviewers

 

[Systemwarrior]

Welp, looks like I'm buying it day one! I need to break my Bloodborne addiction anyway... Hopefully the framerate issues get fixed with the Day 1 patch.

 

[jurec84]

Bloodborne is very good but not a 9.

Of course, because it's a 10.

 

[Diprosalic]

Tony Hawk 3 was the only game on that list worthy of a 10, tbh.

i can see it for all games not ending in a 4.

 

[dreamfall]

ALL THIS EXCITEMENT, I CAN NOT TAKE IT!

Great review reads all around, can't wait to check out some of the PC performance reads as well as launch approaches!

 

[Netherscourge]

Gamespot - 10/10

Holy Crap - a 10 from GAMESPOT??

I can't remember the last time they gave out a 10.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Are all the reviews based on the Ps4 version or did reviewers get PC and XboxOne version, too?

 

[Gurthang]

Playstation Official Magazine UK - 4/5

its linking to the gamesradar review

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Got my first gaming PC in this last weekend (has a GTX 980 and an i7 4790k). I am so ready.

This is b.s. GameSpot mentioned at the end (or beginning?) of their videos that the money spent came out of their own wallet.

 

[daninthemix]

The Gamesradar review gives me severe pause...they say combat is no better than Witcher 2. And Witcher 2's combat sucked, frankly.

 

[mgs2master2]

waiting on that polygon review...

 

[Boke1879]

any reviews say anything about x1 framerate?

wonder how it compares

Don't think they sent out review copies for the X1

 

[mnz]

They've started to do it more in recent years.

One this year, one last year. The one before that was from 2010, come on.

 

[Gaz_RB]

I'll admit it's nice that we seem to be moving away from the disappointment that ran rampant at the beginning of the gen.

Hypebole to increase sales I'm sure

But I already have this game on preorder.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

They've started to do it more in recent years.

Not really. They gave Super Mario Galaxy 2 a 10 in 2010 and Bayonetta 2 a 10 in 2014. The Witcher 3 is only the site's third perfect score in half a decade.

 

[jbortz78]

Ooh so close now, please let me go to sleep and wake up on the 19th

Holy Crap - a 10 from GAMESPOT??

I can't remember the last time they gave out a 10.

Last year and they gave Goty to another game lawl.

 

[TheSlySoul]

They'll have the reviewer on The Lobby later today for a longer discussion

Hopefully he can justify giving it a perfect score with no criticism.

From what I read of GamesRadar and Kotaku, it seems to be a fun game with a lackluster end. Will be fun to pick up when I get back from vacation.
Also the framerate seems to be unstable on PS4.

 

[FATALITY]

Bloodborne is very good but not a 9.

yep i agree with you
its a 10

I'd give them a 9 too. Those were two good RPGs.

What if you were wrong and the game is, gasp, actually good like the other Witcher games?

 

[ironcreed]

Looks like Witcher 3 moves into first place for GOTY discussions so far.

Nothing will touch it for me. Of this much, I'm quite sure.

 

[Leonsito]

Mad Max and Witcher 3 getting great reviews, YESSSS

 

[Pop]

I see all this framerate talk from the journos but where's the sauce to back it up. Hitching and stutters occasionally is a nuisance. But how bad is it, really.

Before it even comes out? That's impressive! We don't even need to play games any more.

Looked super annoying in that Gametrailers review video.

 

[Waxwing]

Exactly. It's a fucking terrible game. You can't trust opinions on this forum if they don't usually match your own. If I followed gafs game of the year list, I'd own only the last of us, dragon Age and knack.

I just can't grok this opinion. What difficulty did you play the game on? It had tight, tense combat on Hard or Nightmare. Did you spend any time reading the side lore? Some of the questing was repetitive, but the combat and characters made the game well worth it.

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

If you take a look at the bottom of the Gamespot review, it says the game already included the day one patch. That is why they need the reviewers to have the debug version of the PS4.

 

[Javin98]

Damn, those are some pretty good scores. Whelp, looks like I'm eventually get this on PS4.

 

[Systemwarrior]

Of course, because it's a 10.

100% agreed!

 

[murgo]

Shit, reading and watching the Gamespot review made the wait even worse. The last 7 days will feel like an eternity

 

[bombshell]

Are all the reviews based on the Ps4 version or did reviewers get PC and XboxOne version, too?

Look at metacritic, everyone is PS4. There's been 0 reviews submitted for PC/XB1.

 

[viveks86]

How do you know you were right? I don't think the game comes out until next week.

Everybody knows they were right. Isn't every review thread a shining example of confirmation bias? Most people come here looking for their hopes and/or fears confirmed. Only few come here to learn anything new

 

[AJLma]

Probably gonna end up buying this for PC just off of the hype, even though I couldn't stand TW2.

 

[fantomena]

Bloodborne is very good but not a 9.

100% agreed, gave it 9.2/10 in my review due to framerate and loading times. Now it's 9.5/10.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

its linking to the gamesradar review

If you click the metacritic score it's the same link. It's different from Gamesradar.

 

[robertsan21]

they didnt send out xbox review copies...

So I am sure the framerate is the same or worse on that one.

Hopefully day 1 patch will fix this

Yes yes. Great month, go see Mad max peeps!

I can't remember the last time they gave out a 10.

Just last year with Bayonetta 2, they even made a video explaining their 10/10's

This is Kevin VanOrd we're talking about right?

I will be waiting for the PC version reviews. There should be technical problems there.
