Sunset Overdrive Review Thread

Do they beep out the word or use something that sounds like the naughty word ala Christmas Story?

Lol the best Xmas films in the history of Xmas. The Grinch a close second!
 
Goddamnit, pre-ordered the game because I want the disc and here i'm sitting with an american xbox live card in the basket contemplating to buy the US version so I can play tonight.

To make matters worse I have 2 days off starting tomorrow fml
 
Got to admit I'm pleasantly surprised at some of these reviews. Looks like I'll still be picking it up. Was starting to have some serious doubts before the reviews hit.
 
Videogamer scored both this and Wolfenstein The New Order waaaaay low.

I feel fully comfortable not taking their reviews seriously in the future. Not because I'm saying they are incapable but clearly their tastes aren't anything at all like mine.
 
My Xbox One is coming on Wedsday. Already got this game preordered. This plus Horizon 2, MCC, and Killer Instinct is making the Xbox a contender this year second only to the Wii U.
 
I've been looking forward to getting home and checking out the reviews for this all day. Looks as if I was right to be excited... and I need an Xbox One!

I actually get the feeling some of their reviewers must be a bit jaded on gaming in general...their SSOD preview was just so damned negative, almost negative for negative's sake. Not that they didn't have legitimate criticisms and concerns...but man, I almost wonder if they like anything.


That looks pretty awesome. I don't think this game is much like Crackdown, but I get Crackdown vibes from that gif.
 
Wow. Ok I'll just stop coming to this thread now, to experience all of that first hand
at the end of the week. :(
Congrats again to the guys from Insomniac Games. Alx out. :)
 
MS has been really killing it with quality exclusives this gen.

They have the highest rated AAA exclusives in their respective genres so far.

FPS: Titanfall
Open world action: sunset overdrive
Fighting: killer instinct
Driving: Forza Horizon 2


They've done a pretty good job. Can't wait for Sunset to unlock tonight!
 
Best Bone/PS4-exclusive right here. Really loved the comment about the "alternate reality" where the Dreamcast was a succes, this would be the kind of game we would get.
 
So, I went into my Amazon account to cancel MCC because I already preordered it digitally... Only to see that Sunset Overdrive had shipped. I had completely forgotten that I ordered it right after the MS E3 showing, in the same cart as MCC.

I'm happy, but my wife is not.

They're about to have the highest rated collection as well.

Everything coming up Spencer!

Brb, gonna secure exclusive distribution rights to the drink in Scandinavia.

I bet PewDiePie has already got them... damn Swedes.
 
not sure whats up with the xbox store this morning, took about 25 minutes for it to get through to the purchase confirmation screen after multiple "something went wrong" screens. Preloading now, really hype
 
Oh yes! like I said, I was told mordor was 12 hours. ended up being more like over 40 for me. Fingers crossed there is a lot to do :D

Is there a season pass for this, anyone?

There is a season pass, haven't checked the standalone price, but it's included in the DE which costs £61 from the UK store.

And yeah, I spent at least 20+ hours playing SoM. The nemesis system is mainly the reason for that, such an amazing mechanic.
