Spaziogames reviewer HAS NOTHING to do with the fake 8.5 posted esarlier today. It was ONLY a joke made for the spaziogames forum users.
nothing else.

so don't jump to conclusion about reviews withouth knowing the truth

So which are the less spoiler-y video reviews to watch? I really want to see Sessler's review but am unsure.

I was a bit burnt out after U3 (although I know the most important members of the team moved to this) and wasn't expecting anything mind blowing... But I'm reconsidering. Will still wait for GAF opinions before I blow full coin on it.

This thread is no where near as bad as people like you are making it out to be. We have a few people with knee-jerk reactions; we have others who can't understand the disparity when their favorite reviewers (IGN, Giant Bomb, Sessler, etc.) have given this game the utmost praise. The fact that Polygon was funded by Microsoft is another ordeal altogether, but the skepticism is warranted. When the game launches, we'll have a better idea, but let's not act like some fucking travesty has went down.
Thanks you, people are still trying to make it until something.

Yeah lol, also here in Denmark you can get Ekstra Bladet aka Extra Shit (It also fits because they are as shit a tabloid as Aftonbladet)

But I'm pretty sure Ekstra Bladet are using Eurogamer Denmark's reviews.

By the way, I'm only about 6 hours into the game but I'm not running out of ammo anymore - does that stay the same the rest of the game?

Think I just might head out to a midnight launch for this, the GameStop close to my college is having one. I would have to cancel my Best Buy pre-order though.... decisions decisions.

Heaven forbid!

C'mon guys don't embarrass yourselves again like the UC3 debacle.

It's too late.

We can do this in every thread ever for a hyped title. From Halo 4 to Zelda Skyward Sword to this title. I hate this bullshit where being passionate and enthusiasm is somehow a sin.

So fuck your stupid list, because if you go back a few pages, there was a ton of anti-Last of Us comments that couldn't get over a parallel to Citizen Kane. Play the game, we'll see you in the OT.

I'll just pick it up at my local WalMart at midnight or something. Should be fun playing it at night.

Personally I've just been looking at scores and reading the quotes in the OP. Especially going to avoid video reviews at all costs just to avoid spoilers.

This thread is no where near as bad as people like you are making it out to be.

When people are complaining about the scores of a game they haven't even played yet then yes, the thread is that bad. It's Drake's Deception all over again.

"How dare you rate a game that I haven't played from a developer I love less than 9.5/10!"

So they delivered. The scores are incredible except for 'you know which one'. Guess there isn't enough secret sauce or cloud processing in the game but who knows, the score can still change...
 
Incredible scores. Too bad fanboys cant be happy and have to continuously complain about the lower ones. Movie fans would probably have ulcers if they cared as much about single reviews

The number of people doing this is a blip on the radar, and the skepticism has to do with Polygon's funding. The release will tell all, but as far as I can see, the maturity in this thread has yet to go into a downward spiral that you folks are trying to paint.

Adrei Tarkovsky's ghost calls Last of of Us the most moving thing he has ever witnessed

"Literally the greatest game ever made." - IGN

"There's no room for improvement. I'm going to stop playing videogames now because we've achieved what those guys in the 60s and 70s set out do already." - EDGE reviewer

"During the Last of Us I had to stop playing in order for myself to fully comprehend the existence of something so perfect." - Gamespot reviewer
 
It's not about the low review scores ruining our experience, it's about the effect it has on naughty dog. Unfortunetly publishers use metacritic for business negotiations and bonuses with developers. It also affects sales. The last of us seems like it is one of the best games in its genre. It probably deserves at least 9-10.

In a day where studios invest so much money and go out of business, then yes, a fair review of the game is important. It's just reality, I only hope the game sells many millions to support the genius that is Naughty Dog.

When people make generalized posts after coming into this thread on like page 42, they're just as bad as the people they're criticizing. There were FAR more people eager for the meltdowns. Coming in and pointing fingers is asinine when most people don't even realize Horse Armour was being sarcastic.

Lol this is why I'm in this thread even though I don't really care for this genre.

Secret Sauce is the term that people came up when the Xbox One specs (then durango) were less than many expected when they leaked. Many were adamant there was something not leaked that would boost the specs but it turned out to be whole bunch of nothing.

The good thing about these 10/10 scores is that they'll potentially convince people who base their purchasing dicisions on review scores to get the game.

Anyway, I'm one of those people...
