The most astonishing thing to come out of all this is that it seems like some people actively want the game to be bad.
Why would anyone ever not want a game to be good?

Because people wanted to feed their confirmation bias about the length of the game (others were doing the same thing on the other side with GAF impressions and claiming it was a 10-12 hour game). It was an incredibly premature thread based on a sample size of one.
I'm kind of hoping they do something like this for DLC or a standalone PSN game, like Guerrilla did with Shadow Fall Intercept.

Good, I always wanted a game that was a "lovely object."

Woah. Didnt see this up already. 6 pages so far and 1 review.. nice.
Only playthroughs on hard where you scrounge around for all the collectibles and soak in the atmosphere count as actually playing the game. Or something.
There's a remarkably large number of "you're playing it wrong" criticisms coming from people who haven't actually played the game.

The embargo isn't up until Thursday morning so probably almost 2 more days for more reviews. Unless some other places plan to break it

Some people hate cinematic-styled games so much, they want to deprive others of things they enjoy.
The vast majority wont come until Thursday.

That's possible. It's not a game for everyone, and will likely be a tough sell to non hardcore gamers.

Are you ready to play!?!?!!
(Not my pic)
Is the goal to NOT get bingo or what? Because it'd be pretty boring otherwise, LOL.
They probably don't own a PS4.
Holy shit thats bad, no way this is going to be anywhere near that bad.
Im guessing that the average is going to be a high 7

Why do people get mad at review scores when some of them claim that reviews don't matter or because it wasn't a little high enough ? They still going to buy the game regardless.
If the order gets a "low" or even a high score( people don't think it deserves it) this place is going be a graveyard.

It's not on their preferred platform.
Hopefully this will be like Ryse, where the game received a real lashing on forums, but a lot of people found it to be a fun "popcorn" experience.

Ryse got some brutal criticism for having a lot of QTE stuff, I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I'm hoping it is the same scenario here.

Vast majority of games don't change anything based on difficulty except for enemy and health scaling and maybe sometimes better AI (Halo, Wolfenstein, FEAR), so yeah you can.

The human brain is both a mystifying and terrifying existence.
I think we all know the answer to that...
But to sum things up.
Its a PlayStation exclusive which will bring the Xbox fans.
Its also the best looking video game of all time, from a £349 box which will bring the PC fans confusingly thinking how its possible when their set up is twice that amount.
Much like the Uncharted 2 and 3 threads.

Hopefully it won't be anything like Ryse, don't jinx it.
LOL what?! I can't believe that someone seriously would let what some random person on the internet says affect how they enjoy a game.
Well nice to see this topic off too a great start...

The hate for all cinematic. The hate for everything exclusive. The hate for black bars. The hate for mustaches. Or everything together. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

So much fun with scores.
We don't want to live without them.
Metacritic ftw.

Ahhh this will be the only bad review this game gets. Wait, Eurogamer will give it a 6 so, only 2 bad ones.
Based on impressions here it sounds like there's a pretty noticeable AI improvement between Normal and Hard in this.
My prediction would be a metacritic score in the yellow, more specifically in the 67 to 72 numerical range. Most outlets calling it mediocre to average, with a few below and a few smaller outlets or playstation-based magazines score well above the medium. The game will be decent but aside from being a graphical showcase it will quickly be forgotten.

The cutscenes are around 2 hours so what they said in the review isn't true. Either way I guess I'll throw my 2 cents in there, I think the game will end up with a low 80's high 70's overall.
I do think gaming is a blood sport to a lot of people.
I'm curious to see how it is seen critically, but I certainly don't wish bad reviews for it.

I liked Ryse : (
This game has been discussed a lot. Took me by surprise.

Doesn't change the fact that its not how games are designed to be played and many games do change a lot on different difficulties like TLOU
