That dog looks so much like mine it is disturbing. Reminds me he needs shower, since he is far from white right now.

I gotta say, I think this the most engaged I've been in a Neogaf thread since I joined, I think. I'm probably up there in the wall of shame.

Can somebody post it? I don't know how.
 
Developers can't even make the game they want anymore these days without facing an insane amount of backlash. I feel sorry for RAD cause this was a game they wanted to make real bad and it looks like they accomplished it. But the "gamers" don't want just what RAD makes, they want them to make it their( gamers) way.

- Absolutely no QTE. Put one of those in your game and might as well send it to the gallows.

- Must have COD/Gears/Halo popularity multiplayer. If not....to the gallows.

- Black bars because it's what the developers feels like matches their vision. GALLOWS!!


Is it so hard to just enjoy it for what it is?
Mulitplayer is kind of the norm with these full priced, short, cinematic shooters like CoD, Uncharted 2, etc. Unless it has a lot of replayablity or just an amazing experience like Platinum games, people expect something more out of their short games.

Black Bars are to keep the game looking high rez while running at a stable fps, not really for a more cinematic look. It's perfectly fine by itself, just not ideal.

QTE's are usually not very good and a lot of devs use it in the place of good gameplay mechanics so that's why people don't like them in abundance.

Overall, those issues aren't indicative of the overall quality, but since it's not out yet and few/no reviews are out yet so we don't know if the game overcomes those issues so we're left imagining the worst. I guess it doesn't help that the game previewed poorly, I guess.
We'll see tomorrow how it holds up.

Is it hard to appreciate that not everyone will like their vision?
 
By the way, who is making the review thread? I'd like to PM this person my review link later. It only unlocks once embargo is over.

Might not be online when embargo is over so ehh.

There won't be an English translation, will there? I've always wanted to read your reviews.
 
The review thread is going to be disappointing if it's just a 78 or something. I want 50. Or 95.

Actually I'd be fine with 78 and would probably buy the game. :P

I'd just like to nominate "Review Thread of PSALMS 23:4" as the thread subtitle.
 
God I cannot wait to get this game and play it. I also cannot wait for the OT and review thread.... now that is going to be something interesting.

Time flies so fast haha :D

But why hasn't my game been shipped yet? I hope it will arrive by Friday afternoon. I don't have much time to play it in the evening :(
 
Finally, done. Now I have to wait for about 14 hours and 5 min to publish my verdict.

Nothing you can say? Like, I liked it or disliked it? Also, for being on a blog and getting a review copy you must be a pretty big blog no?

If its 95 I will shit myself. Im expecting somewhere in the high 70s low 80s but I'm not gonna bring that discussion here.
 
High scores for the game would be immensely more entertaining than low scores.

Sadly I feel like it'll be a mix of both and we'll just get more of the same stuff from the last 2 weeks.

I'd chuckle if it winds up around 75 with completion times mostly around 8 hours. That's like the least controversial anything could be.
