Yeah, but U1 & U2 seem to have lead that charge, in an alternate universe where Uncharted was a new IP I think there'd be a lot less cinematic games of that sort as well. Certainly wouldn't be Tomb Raider 2013. This game feels like it takes a lot from uncharted (presentation more than setting/gameplay) as well
How is that even possible

Well, I'll definitely stop talking about the potential nature of the thread, just commenting on how it seems like people want it to go into crazy town. That can be amusing, sure, but I'm interested in the game so I hate seeing every thread like this turn into a circus. Anyway, eager to see more reviews.
Agreed.

They may have just played the game very, very slowly.
Kind of expecting to see this land firmly in the low to mid 70s. It's a pretty game, but the whole third-person cover shooter genre is worn out in my opinion. Gears of War just barely got away with it for three games, and 1886 doesn't look like it really does anything to break that mold.

This is what I'm thinking will happen, too. Just too much out there right now for it to get all 9s and 10s. Mostly 8s, some 7s, less 9s and probably zero 10s.
Not bad for the first in a franchise but hopefully they get the message and address shortcomings in the inevitable sequel.

That stuff is never worth it, in hindsight. Especially for $150. Might even affect your opinion of the game to be more positive than an year later because of sunk cost fallacy. If you're not rich and don't have the disposable money to throw around, maybe just get the game. I'm sure the toy will be sold later separately.

I wonder why RAD didn't slap together some type of horde most for those that absolutely need an online mode.

Am I the only one who's actually interested in the reviews, and not just GAF's reaction to the reviews?
I'm getting the CE but only because I want the soundtrack and steelbook and I was able to buy the game with a gift card and that's just the $80 edition. I would not recommend people pay huge amounts for CEs of new IPs unless you're somehow getting a discount.
I watched the full
hours playthrough of this game on YT and I don't think it's gonna review great outside of sites that always give exaggerated scores. The just ok gameplay riddled with QTE's (11 mins is a lot believe it or not) just doesn't make for a great game. The graphics can't really save it.

Well, the first review could not have been any more anti-climactic. However, I think the review sums this game up well when it says that whether or not you like this game depends on why you like video games. To some people this is going to be one of the best cinematic experiences the medium has to offer, and to others it's going to be everything wrong with modern games. One thing is certain, it's gonna be interesting.
They did not have the man power to do so.

Given that the game had already been delayed once, they probably had other priorities.
Looking back at it now, I probably would have rated it lower, personally.
guessing mid 70s/low 80s.
got kinda hyped reading the impressions thread, so who knows. Seems like a lot of my complaints are still valid, but I still wanna play it.
sounds as believable as the dev saying Driveclub was delayed because of the hud.

He should absolutely listen to prophet Druckmann
I could see this happening
So they didn't run, it was on easy and finished in 7hrs.....
Then why do we have a thread that's dozens of pages of concern over a 3-5hr length?

That sounds right to me, but I haven't played the game so who knows.

It can score well across the board, and carry a 90 Metacritic, and it will be hated even more. It's going to be hated by people regardless of what reviews say, because minds are already made up.
If there is gloating over that I will be embarrassed.

Yeah, this easily takes the cake. It wasn't just on NeoGAF, either. I remember other message boards having equally terrible reactions to that one review. It makes the UC3 reactions look like sophisticated discourse in comparison.

Fuck me. They really are americans. Why was I thinking of RAD as a british studio all the time?

I agree. I'm thinking 78.
Admittedly, a "last stand" sort of horde mode event, with leaderboards for survival times could be pretty cool. Like, maybe a big enough section of city that there are a handful of obvious strategies, but not worrying about having X number of maps for it.
Pathetic. You can't judge a game's gameplay mechanics by playing on easy.
Yes, you are the only one on all of GAF who cares to read the reviews for this game.
Pretty sure you can.

Everything has been bubbling under the surface all leading up to this.
