I understood that reference.gif.
Well, a lot of people seem to have been salivating at the prospect of poor reviews for this game for as long as I've been a member here, and unfortunate though it may be, I'm not exactly expecting it to surprise us by actually being fantastic either.
The games media are going to eat this game alive.

Knowing the media, that's exactly what's going to happen.

dick move man.
I'm not sure how that's a spoiler. That's a technical detail about the game. Literally gives nothing away about the plot. That's like saying that posting "This game runs at 1080" is a spoiler.
If people aren't disappointed now, they'll be disappointed after they have payed for the game.

Impressions please!
Well, that just means that your view of the game is a relative outlier on the positive side. It doesn't mean that other reviewers are wrong, it just means that most reviewers that played it didn't think it was great, but some did.

People really posting spoilers in a review thread? Wow.

It seems that people are sharpening their swords if there's already 14 pages on this thing.
Should be fun to watch but I got other stuff to do.

We're not so reused animations from earlier in the game, you and I
Dying Light got 73? I thought people like that game...

Why are people so invested in The Order?
I understand the haters, even if they are irrational. Cinematic games are divisive and all. But the people who are invested in it doing well, why?
This isn't Star Wars Battlefront or something. I will spill blood in that thread, that shit is my sophomore year of high school right there.

you know, if you guys are really upset about that spoiler then maybe common sense would dictate that you shouldn't quote the spoiler since that's going to spoil it for more people. you know, you're making it worse or something.
It's also not really a spoiler but i guess i don't know where that line is drawn anymore.

My gut predicts a hair over 70 on metacritic, which would put it in Beyond: Two Souls territory.
But honestly its hard to call. That's just my sense from the general internet rumblings.
My personal hope is that RAD knocks it out of the park. I'm not a fan of cinematic games that spend a long time with cut-scenes and QTEs, but the occasional one can be great when done well.

Yeah, I don't love Dying light but seeing it behind Watch_Dogs is just wrong. Hell seeing Watch_Dogs at the top of that list at all is wrong.
I would say Driveclub and Wofenstein should be higher, but those scores are more or less spot on. Not to mention, Nintendo games which you've ignored for some reason show that reviews are still wiling to give high scores.

It's an exclusive. That changes everything...
Lmao Gaf is frothing at the mouth for review scores of The Order. 14 pages from one review of a French magazine. Has there ever been anything like this?
Edit: Now some idiot posting spoilers in a review thread. God we can't have nice things!

I once had someone whine at me because I mentioned the name of a character from one of the opening emails in the Mass Effect 2 Firewhatever dune buggy dlc, spoilers are basically meaningless this decade.

Best wishes to RAD... Either way the reviews go, this thread is going to be a madhouse come Thursday!

Sooooooooooo, when is this getting locked. There's going to be 50 pages before the embargo even drops.
Review threads should only be up when the first official review hits. Or else you get these click seeking troll sites.

The Internet has gone stupid over this game. Trying to say it's five hours, praying for low review scores. I'll check back for the official reviews on Thursday and most likely get the game Frdiay. This game really seems to shine a spotlight in those with agendas on either side of the console wars.

It's almost like a 7 is a good score these days. Crazy, I know.
Edit:
Posting spoilers in a nonspoiler thread is an easy way to get nuked.

The mob wants to see a head roll.
Quoting him over and over again is probably supposed to get it done.
Yeah I think this was posted way too early, the only discussion here is Metacritic predictions.
Maybe reboot the thread once the embargo lifts?

The site in question is a magazine and isn't for trolling. Lighten up.

People want to see a new IP go well, especially when the studio in question has done so much at the development end in comparison to others.
That's my take on it at least.

We may actually hit the post limit on this one. A review thread. Damn crazy

I expect Bloodborne's review thread to be pretty epic, but nothing like UC4 will probably be (along Halo 5 that is).
Wonder what will happen to the Tomb Raider thread though, and the (imo legitimate) bad feelings about its exclusivity.
That one will probably need some "extra tight" modding I'm guessing

Let's remember that this got #10 on GAF's most hyped list. Beating out Splatoon.

not entirely sure he is, though. He clearly recognized a flaw and was both clear and concise about articulating it to others. Seems like he's got some smarts on him, really

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
I wouldn't put Evolve or Dying Light in the AAA category. They had small teams, if the size of the marketing budget and publisher determines AAA status then many Nintendo games are "AAA" which would throw this list out the window.
You find it more understandable for people to be emotionally invested in seeing a game do badly than for them to be invested in seeing it do well?
That's kind of messed up tbh.
