Oh boy, oh boy...
I think my favorite one isThe biggest question I have right now is whether this thread will dethrone the Uncharted 3 thread for the title of most infamous review thread of all time.
Anyone who gives Uncharted 3 anything less than a 9.0 is nothing but a troll and deserves to be slapped.
It doesn't, but where is the fun in that? I mean, it's a console exclusive. That is prime material.With all these gifs it's almost like people want this thread to turn into a shitstorm. It doesn't have to be that way.
Day before release is pretty standard. The only thing that would show they were afraid of scores would be day of release embargo or not sending out review copies.

Yep, can't believe people are saying that's a short amount of time for qte's. This isn't ab telltale game, this is a shooter. 11 minutes of qte's is insane.

MGS sure has a lot of cinematics, but it also incorporates a lot of creative gameplay ideas and a variety levels/situations... unlike what we've seen so far of this game.
Egging it on sure isn't helping -_-

Funnily enough, Uncharted 3 still scored a 92 for Universal Acclaim.The biggest question I have right now is whether this thread will dethrone the Uncharted 3 thread for the title of most infamous review thread of all time.
What's GAF going to do when the industry gets rid of review scores?
Actually read the text of reviews and have to discuss the merits of a game in an orderly fashion?What's GAF going to do when the industry gets rid of review scores?
I'm really hoping if this thread can't manage a discussion, maybe the OT will be filled with some discussion of people's impressions of the game, but I have this feeling the OT will be filled with people trying to share their YouTube "impressions."No more than there being like 3 pages of gifs that are seemingly setting the stage. I'd like to see some mature and valid discussions about the review scores. My mind isn't made up on the game yet so I'm interested in dissecting the reviews and talking about them with others to get a better barometer of whether or not the game is worth the money to me. That's kind of what review threads on a discussion forum should be about.
should be noted they played on easy
Was counted in the spoiler thread IIRC.Has anyone clarified how they got that number? It is the full runtime of cutscenes that include QTEs or what?
75 seems a little high
I'm expecting low to mid 70s metacritic, 5/10 from polygon and an entertaining thread
75 seems a little high
Did you play it?

At 4 pages in 20 minutes after just 1 review?
But you're criticizing the amount of cinematics and QTEs as a bad thing. Series like MGS and all of Telltale games embody a lot of these points of criticisms but are generally very well regarded.
You also have no idea if The Order has creative gameplay ideas or not.
Oh no. This thread is already becoming a debate about what people want The Order to be and what it actually is.
Low 70s high 60s is my bet. Everyone going in thinking it's Victorian era Uncharted or Gears. Smh

hopefully the game qualifies as a charitable contribution for tax purposes.Some of us have to make the "sacrifice" and buy it for $60 to ensure more sequels which you can also buy 5 months later for $19.99. That's how it works.
I dunno, without Uncharted I'm not sure we'd be as "saturated" with "cinematic" games--Uncharted definitely drove some interest in players and devs. Uncharted 1 was rough, but I think a U2 released today as the first of the series would score well.
I can sense some people just waiting for the reviews to drop. Nope, staying far away from this thread until I finish the game myself.

What in the fuck?
A fucking rush job to get the review out, pathetic.

Call me a pessimistic.
Hopefully a rhetorical question, because a resounding yes to that one.How would you have rated it? What parts of the game you think were let-downs?
Why else would he say that 75 seems too high? Do you think someone seriously judges the game without having played it?
But how? Time for prompts on screen, time for actions to take place after hitting the buttons, or just the total runtime of cutscenes that contain QTEs? I don't understand how it's quantifiable.
I believe some GAFers have stated that playing it on Hard resulted in a playtime twice as long (10-14 hrs), so there's that.should be noted they played on easy
