That's a pretty surprising opinion to me, I don't want to derail the thread with Zelda design debate though, but yeah, surprising.

Some people seem too invested in this scoring below expectations. really fucking weird.
Because not everybody has money to throw around at things that might or might not be bad.

He is not alone. I played both games on GCN on my old CRT and vastly preferred the look of TP. I grew up with OoT though, so realistic is exactly the Zelda I like and want. However, I don't dislike the artstyle of WW. I think it is fine.

As an enthusiast, I enjoy reading what people who have played something I haven't have to say about it. I also take pleasure in watching other people have conniption fits over numbers, or try to guess which reviews smell like dollar bills. It's all part of the gaming experience.
The German Gamepro magazine gave the game a 88? Is that our lowest score right now? That sounds great. I can tell you right now this title will be divisive. However, in my opinion, most great games are.
Gamepro an 88? That's pretty low for them - nearly every major game gets 80+ there.

No problem with that. Its always really worrying to me when a game gets ridiculously high scores. Its not always the case of course.

I can echo this sentiment.
That's your publication's call, no?

EDIT: Misread your post.
I imagine if you have the same embargo date, you should be fine.
This is stupid and immature. It's rather pathetic how a select few want to devolve discussion from the title's merits into a glorified fanboy war.

It will always happen, might as well enjoy it when it does
Not just europe. Everyone has to wait, June 14 is worldwide release date.

is it gonna be worse than his bioshock infinite review?
They won't mind, since its a different type of publication altogether. I was more concerned with GAF-mods/banhammer/self-promotion rules for posting a couple of personal bullet points tmr
No, this just shows how immature some folks are. I don't want discussion of TLoU to turn into a metacritic wet dream, and thankfully it hasn't. GlamFM, people who won't purchase the game because of Citizen Kane references, and posters who've explicitly stated they have no interest in buying the game, but to mock the positivity surrounding it's release are the one's that should be called out.
The majority of the folks in this thread have actually shown maturity and an enthusiasm about the title. Check the last few pages where a select few actually tried to make mountains of out of mole hills. I don't think you are going to see the knee-jerk reactions you want. I am proud of GAF and the mods for policing a mature environment in this thread.
Oh. Didn't know that. I really hope my retailer gets the game early - gameware.at usually sends out games the day they get them in stock and I've seen that in the US someone already broke the street date.

People actively posting to try and provoke meltdowns and try and turn it into an UC3 review discussion can piss off, agreed. I won't pretend that I don't find it funny to see people going off on one because of reviews though

Has this been posted?
Trying to top ND by getting Ellie.. I mean Ellen Page to star in his game
lol
Is that sarcasm? I thought the Rev review of Infinite was really good. One of my favs actually. Love the Sess.
That's where i bought the game too, store is only 20 minutes away from me
I got Uncharted 3 almost 2 weeks before the official release.

Don't hype me up.
(keep me in the loop if they might call you 
)It was pretty hyperbolic sure, but I thought it was a great review.

You didn't think Bioshock Infinite's ending was comparable in resonance to China Town and Godot?
Don't hype me up.
Haha i will, but they haven't gotten the game yet. Maybe early next week.
Nah
According to people who played it this is nothing like the Uncharted series.

No exclusive reviews, just the way it should be. All reviews will be out tommorow at 10EDT.
Welcome to the club. I really don't like Uncharted 2. I bought it recently because of the general praise and really didn't know what people found so pleasing about it. Controls felt sluggish, shooting was dumb and unresponsive and the whole set pieces felt VERY artificial and staged. I never was under the impression to be in a living world despite the good graphics. That said, I didn't finish the game.

Sometimes I just have to live with the fact that people have alarmingly shocking taste and opinions.
This constant hand wringing and wishful thinking for some type of super terrible or against the curve reviews just to coax a few heat of the moment moronic posts here or on twitter is the most perplexing and troubling thing going on right now.
