Should be an interesting thread indeed. From all sides...


But yea, the above is as antagonistic and petty as the reactions to the lower scores themselves. Lets just keep it cool.

Haha I was compiling a list too. Time to close some browsers before chrome crashes. ;o

You don't need to open them in new browsers, just click the little plus icon below someones avatar. Even if you go to the next page of posts, it saves the quote in your log. You can keep clicking the plus icons on different avatars to link quotes together in one quote reply :)

Quick translation :
Best game ever.
-He just finished the game : Great adult scenario without compromise , showing the harsh truth.
-He got attached to the characters and had some intense and painful moments .
-The story is captivating
-Guts stirring , exciting and intense game.
-Maybe the best game he ever played in his 17 career of gaming journalist

Edge "10"s became pretty meaningless when they started handing them out to games like Bayonetta and Skyward Sword.

I don't doubt TLoU will be good, but Edge is not an outlet I'd put much faith in.

I'm still waiting for Sterling's review. I have a feeling he will deduct points based on narrative device emphasis over gameplay. He is a pull no punches type of guy.

I can try give my impression but I will be careful and not describe anything in the game itself and stay to the rules of the embargo. Anyway, will be gone for a bit, delving into The Last of Us. :)

I think that Mama Robotik post was harsh, People have kneejerk reaction on the forum.

Im pretty sure if any popular game on gaf with a huge fanbase like HL3 or Nintendo games will get a surprisingly score and the review content is different compared to what we read from other users impression, its bound for some people to not take the review seriously.

Imo two things people wont see -

1 - Some users had played the game just when reviews started to appear since game was leaked early.
2 - Uncharted 3 haters were dismissing all other reviews apart from EG when even they didnt play the game

We're now trying to downplay Edge? The same Edge people were hoping on trashing the game to cause a meltdown and come out with a 10? I swear people aren't going to be happy until this game gets another 8 type situation.

I remember the fan reaction people had when Twilight Princess didn't score 10 out of 10s. It was just as alarming as Uncharted 3. People have expectations, deal with it.gif.

I think you misunderstand my intentions, believe me I'm rolling my eyes at the people seemingly only here "for the meltdowns" just as hard as the rest of you, but I really don't put much stock in Edge's opinion these days. That's all I wanted to say.

Mama Robotnik always comes off as self-righteous with his posts but he's as much of a fan as any of us. I'd rather be WTF over reviews even if it makes me look foolish because at least it's an honest reaction.

I tend to agree with most of Sterling's reviews. From not playing this game yet it looks like something that most gamers will really enjoy, Sterling included. I can easily seem him dropping a 9/10 or 10/10. But maybe there are some flaws that haven't come out about the game thus far.
 
My hype meter is trough the roof !

Cannot wait for this bad boy to release ! I think i'll play this in one or two settings with my Pulse headphones, it's gonna be good !!!

This kind of games is why i love Sony first party developers. You can't find those experiences anywhere else.

Next week is gonna be sweet, E3 + "The Last of Us" !!

Pretty much. Its not as if haters wont troll. Im pretty sure they are ready to dismiss

OPM uk - 10

"its the official mag, sure they would give 10"

Edge - 10

"edge is hardly credible, they gave skyward sword 10 lol"

IGN - 10 or 9

"lol ign"

Destrctroid - 10 or 9

"lol its jim sterling who takes him seriously "

I guess Eurogamer review will only matter to them i guess now unless they give it higher then 8 lol

These two have already happened so it's just a matter of time.

No no no, seven in roman numerals is VII, not IX.
