lol Polygon, good luck dealing with that backlash.   


won't buy right away, but will buy eventually

That's why they have an adjustable review score. They can raise it when people start bitching!

[Don Flamenco]

cant wait to taste the bores salty tears as naughty god drops another critically acclaimed megaton on the game

No salty tears here...straight 10s just means it'll take a month and a half for the real criticisms to pop up, versus a couple weeks. 

the gaf thread is all "Citizen Kane Achieved!11"  lol  they just don't get it. 

And game reviewers are just as interested in finding this Citizen Kane.

Based Naughty God

Ken Levine suiciding, Bioshock Infinite reduced to Birth of a Nation of videogames. Metroid Prime reduced to old-timey crank handle peepshow of videogames.

I really like nd and even I'm skeptical of all this.

They just ban the backlash:

Isnt Polygon that MS blog?

Ill wait for the FULL HD DIRECTORS CUT on PS4 btw.

Who to trust, Polygon or Edge magazine... HMMMMMMMMM

[Bebpo]

I really like nd and even I'm skeptical of all this.

I'm the opposite way.  The reviews don't mean much to me, but since it's ND I'm sure it'll at least be an enjoyable game worth a play.

Your AI partner can't be detected by enemies. Following Bioshock Infinite who had an invincible little lady AI partner, I'm starting to think everyone in the industry pools their money for focus tests.

Anyway, game looks like a good evening's worth of popcorn. I'm hearing about double digit hours and that's kinda heavy for popcorn, but maybe I can put it on easy and breeze it in five or six.

[fistfulofmetal]

I'll def get this. Looks great.

[Diunx]

Not to be a grammar Hitler but you spelled Naughty Gods wrong on the thread tittle.

No one likes escort missions, and if your entire game is an escort mission then GTFO.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah if this whole game was en escort mission with a partner that can die then no thanks.

That's only a 9.6 game, how disappointing.

[Mupepe]

Is anyone surprised?  Uncharted is the fucking shit too. 

[Mr. Gundam]

Is anyone surprised?  Uncharted is the fucking shit too.

Uncharted 2 was the shit. Uncharted 1 was cool. Uncharted 3 sucked big donkey balls.

[Momo]

Always planned on getting this. As with mot games though, I will wait till the price is right.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Uncharted 2 was the shit. Uncharted 1 was cool. Uncharted 3 sucked big donkey balls.

Yeah, actually, the fact Uncharted 3 was so bad has me interested in Last of Us (because clearly the UC2 A-team got moved to Last of Us immediately)

[Himu]

Uncharted 2 is one of my fave games this gen, so it's enough to let me give this a shot.

[Purple Filth]

Keplek and Sterling gave it full marks?

That is what exactly happened iirc. The director of this game and some of the staff went to this right after Uncharted 2 so they apparently wouldn't get bored.

It's coming on PBS Masterpiece Theater?

[bork]

I tried the demo yesterday.  It's like a slower-paced Uncharted 2: Survival Horror Edition. 

I suppose I should be hyped, but I'm just not for some reason.  I'd rather have more Drake n' Sully.

[pilonv1]

Edge 10

Everyone who matters is giving it a 10.

Edge hasn't mattered since 2004.

[Joe Molotov]

Man, fuck GAF. I spent a lot of time on this AAA post of the year, and I got no likes. GAF is like the Polygon of forums.

Wait, Naughty Dog made this?

[Shaka Khan]

Wrath, this is already being sold in the Middle East. Grab your copy and post impressions, breh. I'll act all cool and publicly shrug your impressions off but I'll really be listening.

Meanwhile, I just preordered this from Amazon. It should be here on launch day.

[Damian79]

I dont understand why people have so much faith in reviewers.  This game really does nothing new except maybe ai from the reviews i read.  But there are probably a dozen or so issues not mentioned.  Like Zelda getting 99% on metacritic.  How on earth that game can get a perfect score is beyond me with its bland barren landscape.  It is a good game dont get me wrong but a 8 or 9 out of ten is much more apt for Zelda OoT.

[Barry Egan]

and what's the deal with airplane food?  I mean, am I right folks?

Yeah, I'm sorry. I for the life of me can not care about SR4. I loved 2 and liked 3, but nothing about 4 excites me.

Yeah, I expect you're right

[mjemirzian]

Is this coming to PS4?

[SantaC]

Yawn american media overrates another american game.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Edge and Eurogamer are American 

[SantaC]

man, you are the *last* motherfucker to be calling people out for promoting games for patriotic reasons.

in a couple of weeks people will say that this game wasnt worth all the hype. Make no mistake, there are western media bias these days.

[fistfulofmetal]

Was gonna download this but decided to just grab the disc since i dont wanna put 35gigs on my ps3.

Yo, RE4 let your partner get hurt and it totally worked.

That's all I'm sayin'!

RE4 worked because you could just make Ashley hide in a trash can while you killed all the monsters.

[Don Flamenco]

not always and you can't tell me that having to stash her somewhere didn't ratchet up the tension. 

instead, you're gonna have some big fungus monster clip through Ellie, who is standing there staring, to get to Joel.

I already read the ending. Meh

[Great Rumbler]

It's fun. I'd give it an 8/10 so far. As far as game of the generation goes not even close, not at all. Unsurprisingly the reviews for the game jerked off to it for all the wrong reasons and overrated those reasons.

We get most games early, especially Sony Games. I got Killzone 2 three weeks before it was released officially(too bad it sucked) and inFamous about two weeks before it came out officially.

It's fun. I'd give it an 8/10 so far. As far as game of the generation goes not even close, not at all. Unsurprisingly the reviews for the game jerked off to it for all the wrong reasons and overrated those reasons. In the end it's a really fun "survival" stealth game that I'll probably beat and enjoy enough to go back to at some point.

This is about in line with my expectations, after filtering reviews for comments about how emotional the reviewer got because he forgot to take his meds or critically think at all.
