BioGamerGirl - 9.7

GOTF confirmed.

Now for Pocketlint to seal the deal...

 

[FinKL]

Looking good so far!

Edit : Shut it down! Biogamergirl has spoken!

 

[K.Sabot]

LOL Kotaku's negative, god damn.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Yay Insomniac I am happy for their success! Looking forward to getting this game now.

 

[Rembrandt]

Hope to see all the same posters from the Videogamer preview in here! They seemed so worried about this game.

they'll see their review and that'll be all the confirmation they need.

 

[serenewarfare]

any R and C easter eggs?

Insomniac said pre-release that there wouldn't be any R&C easter eggs because they don't own the IP.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Sounds like the first xbone exclusive to get the system for. Nice!

 

[Hindle]

It won't.

Spoiler

But I hope it does.

It will lol.

The reviews and reception are awesome, and the marketing is everywhere.

 

[derFeef]

Eurogamer.net
8/10

 

[Suikoguy]

It won't.

Spoiler

But I hope it does.

Yeah, I'm thinking it *might* chart for October.
But probably not November.

 

[TI82]

Looks fun. Can't wait for that PC version!

 

[Coma Ecliptic]

Good reviews. I look forward to playing it when Xbone is $350 or less

$350 you say? What if you had a bonus to buy the game for free?

 

[GnawtyDog]

Looking good. Great for Insomniac. Hopefully the sales pan out too.

 

[GlamFM]

Anyone surprised that Arthur Gies gave an Xbox One exclusive a favorable score needs to have their head examined.

Dumb post.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

This will sell great, it has everything going for it.

Everything...being what exactly?

It will lol.

The reviews and reception are awesome, and the marketing is everywhere.

So? Other games have had the same treatment and didn't sell well. Reviews/Reception/Marketing do not just magically mean something is going to sell well.

 

[McDougles]

Kind of silly to knock the game because you chose to exploit the style system in one area that allowed it, acting like you can do that anywhere.

You can do it in many places where are two buildings separated by that distance.

 

[Dragonborn]

And Amazon says my white X1 just shipped. Now I wait

BioGamerGirl - 9.7

wow better than destiny =O

 

[aly]

This will sell great, it has everything going for it.

I'm not too sure about that part. Not all games that are great sell great.

 

[Jaxx]

This will sell great, it has everything going for it.

I would have been tempted to skip the COD bundle next week and just pick up the SO bundle this week, but in their infinite wisdom MS decided to make it really really really limited. Seems like a stupid move imo.

[Suikoguy]

Dumb post.

Thanks for your contribution.

Does not change the fact that Arthur Gies is a terrible person.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Everything...being what exactly?

I think it has a decent marketing push behind it by MS + what seems to be solid reviews

 

[NateDrake]

Like I said, I finished in 15. You could probably do it in less. If you didn't like JSR, it might be an uphill battle for you.

Shadow of Mordor is probably a more robust game, but I had more fun with Sunset Overdrive.

How about when compared to inFamous: SS in terms of story and side-missions? I'm all for mindless fun, but it needs to at least feel varied in options.

 

[Loudninja]

Ah yes that IG magic.

 

[Hindle]

Everything...being what exactly?

Great reviews.
An exclusive bundle.
Extensive marketing.
Unique setting that sets it apart.
And it looks just so much fun.

 

[ryan299]

Gametrailers gave it a 70

[Skux]

The new IP the Xbox one deserves.

 

[The Beard]

I predicted a 70 MetaCritic.

So far, it appears I'll be way off, and that's a good thing.

 

[Phat Michael]

Looks fun. Can't wait for that PC version!

jesus. Already?

 

[B1gg_Randall]

I finished the story campaign at 15 hours, but I putzed around for a bit. Side stuff: extra missions, weapon and traversal challenges, multiplayer, and you can replay every missions again for leaderboard stuff and more XP/money.

Nice.

 

[malfcn]

In the end, Sunset Overdrive is a beautifully chaotic masterpiece that combines great visuals and soundtrack with uniquely entertaining characters in one of the best storylines to ever appear in a video game. The game's nonstop humor manages to keep even the dullest moments in Sunset Overdrive exciting and players will find that gameplay is insanely addictive with the possibility of becoming one of the OD'd!

Is the story that good?

 

[McDougles]

Thanks for your contribution.

Does not change the fact that Arthur Gies is a terrible person.

Person? Really? Because he reviews things in a way you don't like?

 

[MormaPope]

Thanks for your contribution.

Does not change the fact that Arthur Gies is a terrible person.

That's pretty hyperbolic. Dude is neurotic and has fanboy-esque tendencies, but that doesn't make him a terrible person.

 

[Dragonborn]

Great reviews.
An exclusive bundle.
Extensive marketing.
Unique setting that sets it apart.
And it looks just so much fun.

With good reviews I think it'll have some pretty good legs overall. Only issue is the slew of AAA monsters starts next week with CoD

 

[Radec]

9s.

As expected.

 

[TI82]

jesus. Already?

Well I mean their own advertising said so..

 

[derFeef]

Thanks for your contribution.

The posts are becoming dumber...

 

[nbthedude]

People can never make up there mind as to if Polygon is bias or not.



See, it's not so bad over here, is it?

I don't care about "teh biased" arguments but anybody who ever listened to Rebel FM knows where Gies stands. He's pretty open about preference for Xbox brand and literally said PS4 doesn't have anything good but a bunch of indie crap that doesn't count.

Not that that matters here. Insomniac is a talented studio and there is pretty wide acclaim for this game.

 

[User 479360]

I've only played 2.5 hours of it, but what I thought would maybe end up being a mediocre title I wouldn't like all that much, has turned out to be a lot of fun.

 

[Scanna]

My opinion for VGNetwork.it 9
Heck of a game

 

[Hindle]

Looking like it will be Insomniacs highest rated game since A Crack in Time.

 

[bigboss370]

Having an ad on their website for the game is not a conflict of interest.

website is advertising the game. that promotion is earning them money. website is reviewing said game with expectation of impartiality. there is a conflict of interest.

regardless, plenty other places are giving it high reviews so that's a good sign i suppose.

 

[ShutterMunster]

Just preordered this. Wasn't expecting reviews to be this high. Glad to have another title to play on my Xbox One this fall.

 

[Suikoguy]

That's pretty hyperbolic. Dude is neurotic and has fanboy-esque tendencies, but that doesn't make him a terrible person.

I'll re-pharse;

He's a terrible person to do the job he currently holds.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Will buy this for Christmas, consider me a happy-bone user.

wow better than destiny =O

LOL

 

[De_Legend]

I predicted a 70 MetaCritic.

So far, it appears I'll be way off, and that's a good thing.

Yeah, will probably end up low 80's high 70's

 

[sono]

Insominiac are a great studio..
