I can't even read any of these lol. I'm trying to go in pretty blind.

Same here. I was about to watch a video review but decided to hold off. Lol, until today I didn't even know the game had zombies in it.

Fuck

 

[BossLackey]

Yeah guys settle down, there will always be people who dont like a game.

Yeah, it's almost like they're funded by the competitor...

Colin Moriarty of IGN said it took him nearly 18 hours to get through on his first play through. Damn.

8.5 from NowGamer:

I don't understand people getting angry over reviews. Someone didn't like the game quite as much as everyone else, so what? A healthy spread of views is far better than everyone just towing the line and giving the expected score. Doesn't mean you can't love it any less!

 

[Agent Dale Cooper]

Glorious! Naughty Dog, you did it!

Did what? Release a game reviews will score highly?

It's not hard to do, man.

 

[benicillin]

Oh man, that Polygon score is hilarious. I was going to be disappointed if at least one score wasn't responsible for a complete thread meltdown.

 

[sTeLioSco]

Great,will get

Since my review will be posted in a non-gaming magazine later this month, I though I'd post some breif opinions of my own here.

1. This really feels like this generation's Resident Evil 4.
2. Possibly the best intro in any game I've ever played.
3. The E3 demo was a fairly accurate representation of how the game plays.
4. If you turn off listening mode from the start, the game hardly even mentions it exists. Never felt like I needed it; just turn the volume up and you'll be fine.
5. This is a long game. Took me

hours to beat.
6. Story is good, pacing is great and voice-acting is amazing.

This is coming from someone who adored Uncharted 2, but was dissapointed in Uncharted 3.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

The funny thing about Polygon was that Gies was feeding a bunch of negative hyperbole to someone I know before the review embargo dropped. I had a feeling their score would be lower after that.

oh man, i love this stuff.

Yep this game seems to be a nice length.

 

[elektrixx]

7.5? Cancelled my preorder. Yeah right. This game needs to be in my PS3 ASAP. Would still play this game even if it got all 0's.

If it really got 0's it probably wouldn't run.
And Poly would then give it -2.5.

 

[Secretarial Dog]

7.5 from Polygon. Wut.

If that is the case, why are they even discussable here? Kotaku got banned from discussion for much less

 

[iNvid02]

i cant cancel my preorder, anyone want to trade their copy of remember me for my tlou?

polygon gave it 8 so i'll give you 50p extra for it, dont wanna rip anyone off you know

 

[Megasoum]

Just realised this game is not releasing on a Tuesday lol...what's up with that

Got mine pre-order can't wait, great scores.

Cause that Tuesday is day 1 of E3.

 

[CitizenCope]

Just when I was exhausted with this Gen this game comes along. Hope I like it as much as these reviews.

Unbelievable.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

[*]Best opening of any game ever (of what I can remember)

Better than God of War III, Infinite and Resident Evil 4? HNNNNG!

[SniperHunter]

Sessler compares the tension in combat to the Souls games.

yea even the demo was really tense (on hard)

anyway looking forward to it.

 

[jgmo870]

The 10s are scaring me more than the 7.5

Same. But I'm scared in an optimistic sort of way.

 

[maquiladora]

When you rub secret sauce on your monitor, the 7 in 7.5 can look like a 9.

It's actually a 10. The other 2.5 points are just in the cloud.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Guys let's not have a collective meltdown over one score you disagree with.

Tue last time that happened was the Uncharted 3 farce. That didn't reflect well on anybody.

Do one.

Totally. Releasing a game, pffffttt. So easy.

[Coolwhip]

Heh, are people angry at a reviewer for scoring a game lower than the average? This is what reviews are about, to show different perspectives, not to rate your favorite game with 10/10 GOTY!!!1111

 

[SlasherJPC]

Y'ALL HAVEN'T PLAYED IT

lol this happens every damn time.

Super hyped to play it myself.

It's all good it just sticks out when the rest are giving it 10's mostly. I'll bet anything when I play it, my thoughts won't change. I could be wrong, but I very seriously doubt it.

 

[Varth]

My review (italian) is online, btw.

5/5

Art direction and soundtrack awards among others.

+
Outstanding, hard and uncompromising story
Amazing soundtrack and sound design
Visceral, intense combat

-
Development is a tad slow, some repetitive mechanics
Design lessens the impact of graphics
Italian dub is a mess

 

[Dragon]

Whys everyone freaking out about the Polygon score?

People always focus on the negative unfortunately. I'm eager to read Eurogamer's review. Klepeck's review is glowing in almost all aspects. He does mention the braindead AI when it comes to NPCs though which I would find a bit off putting myself.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Gamespot 8.0

 

[Ratrat]

It's just bullshit.

There score stands out like a shit stain on the mona lisa.

It's obvious they scored it low for hits, and there going to get them.

Once again, fuck them. Hope they get black listed on GAF, and on Metacritic.

You've never disliked a game that was unanimously praised by critics? Hell, not everyone thinks U2 is all that. You guys are embarrassing Naughty Dog fans with these reactions.

This. Just based on his ironic tweets towards the game you could tell it was going to score low. Hilarious.

Do one.

Let's wait another day or so.

Is that Polygon score final or will they change it again?
