I'm not talking about the 88% score, because that is a fantastic score. I really can't wait to play this game but the synchronisation point is totally... I don't even know what it is... it's just not right. German GamePro anyway lost huge quality and respect a very long time ago.

Who cares about Metacritic, it's going to be a great game, just enjoy it.
Have you heard the German voices?
I know, not talking about you, just saying that the "omg only 88??" "ah they're not on metacritic so it's irrelevant" "they're being nitpicky!!" posts become even more ridiculous when you consider that one of their pros is actually objectively bad. So much for being nitpicky.

Damn..ya got me...
Yeah, thread's taken a shitty turn over the last few pages as the print reviews have started emerging.

Of course, I just meant that before GTA V launches it will be just talk about GTA V

I did (Demo) and they were bad...really bad.
German dub in the Uncharted series was great though
Hm... English dub for me then.
It would be glorious if Jeff Gerstmann broke with Giantbomb's tradition review system just to give this game an 88%.
Oh the memories.
The Demo had German language so he probably has.

Yes I do and they come from hell.
Oh okay, sorry for the misunderstanding but you are right.
I also hate this.
4.4 stars.

Are any type of quick looks allowed today, or is that embargoed until the release day? I know the guy that's been linked to on Youtube said that he'd only be using footage for the demo for his initial review, but he may go back and include newer scenes later on.
Going play the demo with French voices now, lol.

I would tattoo Gerstmann's face...on my face if he did that.

No such thing when it comes to reviews. I'm not trying to start anything, I'm just saying it's a good idea to realize that nothing about this process is objective, that way nothing you see in a review will ever bother you.
If that happens (and I mean a big 'if') it would just go to show that such a site is doing nothing but trolling and only seeking to get attention.
True and true, Sony was very specific about what could not be talked about, including the first hour or two of the game. i don't talk about any specific game situations in my review, just the general overall feel of the game and the gameplay.
It's definitely not going to be for everybody. it's a slow paced game with limited resources, people looking for "Uncharted with zombies" will be very disappointed.

I just found out the MP has no infected at all in it, it gets lamer the more I hear about it

He won't. Patrick is doing the review.
I already knew this.
I'm guessing we'll see it in DLC, sadly.

That is a little bit of a dissapointment.

Is Tom Chick still around?
Such as writing a love letter style review that the fans want to read instead of presenting valuable criticism?
...See what I did there?

No quick looks allowed until release day. Patrick from GB said that they can use 5 thirty second clips of footage for the review.

Why not do away with the score then? We all know why they would never do that.
Well believe it or not, there are some people who actually really LOVE the game they just played...
Usually it's mostly the hype...since most "real" cons are usually found when you have time to sink things in, and have time to reflect on what you just played.
Considering most of these reviewers are rushing through this game, and rushing to finish there review, than I'm not surprised to see love letters.

Which means that GameTrailers will have 5 30 second clips from the final 30 minutes of the game.
Yeah I'm not gonna talk about story or go in depth or write anything super long.
Just a general yes or no would suffice.
The last of us measures up to the hype of game of generation that these reviewers are showering with it?
Yep haha,Which means that GameTrailers will have 5 30 second clips from the final 30 minutes of the game.

Lol, I'm definitely not watching that video until I finished the game.

Yes, I believe there is such thing. Just look how happy the brazilian community is about The Last of Us synchronisation now after Sony changed the synch studio, investing more money regarding a practical localisation for the first time. Money equals quality (regardind synch) and it's especially recognizable when you have a comparison from studios previous work. Of course there is such a thing like "I don't care at all" but you can't smear honey on something which lost it's entire quality, imo.
