Those are some great reviews although reading that the story and boss counters are still the weakest part of the game is disappointing

Damn...this is a big update file. Going to have to actually wait a little to play. (PS4)

Oh man, I forgot the season pass is $40. That's ridiculous.

The game might be worth a 10 but dear god Polygon writing is at its worst when they give something high marks. See Diablo, Sim City etc.
They stupidly flowery prose they have to justify that 9 and 10 with is downright cringy.

Perfect scores are such a joke. I don't think I've ever played a perfect game.
Anyway, glad to see the high scores
To some people 10/10 does not mean perfect. I consider Bioshock a 10/10 game, but its a way off perfect.

It's more to with the reviewer than the review itself. People trust Van Ord's opinion. I don't think anyone is saying it's trash because it's got a 7.

Happens all the time. People always pay attention to the one low score rather than the numerous high ones. Most of those people are ones that weren't really going to pick up the game anyway or were at least on the edge about it.

Strange how Rocksteady manage to still be so excellent, yet fall short on boss fights even after three tries...
None of it bothers me though. First triple A game on release I'm getting on my laptop. Have mercy on me PhysX!

Edit: Ah fuck it.
This game's really tempting, though I'm not quite finished with Witcher 3 yet. The bat mobile stuff doesn't seem appealing at all to me so I wonder if I'll end up agreeing with Gamespot's opinion if I actually do pick this up.

Exactly. I have the game pre-ordered and still think that it is going to be fantastic. Kevin just seems to have some valid concerns and explained why rather well. All I am doing is acknowledging that there might be some things that I may not be fond of, despite thinking that it is going to be a great game. I am not going to dismiss well reasoned criticism just because he did not go full stop fanboy in his review.

Sounds like the vehicle aspects are a bust.

I can honestly bet that's due to the timing of the game and of course whoever reviewed it. That series has had the most confusing assumptions made about it. Starting out 1 could not be beat and then everyone grabbed the game over the years and it went from being an achievement to just about every single gamer having something to say. I feel as though everyone can say the same thing about it by knowing 1 or 2 small details.

Well, some cunt on r/Batman had the gall to post an endgame spoiler right in the title of a thread so I guess I won't bother with my preorder of the game, despite the high praise.
That's what really put me off of Arkham City for so long... People couldn't keep their traps shut so I knew what would happen.

I did the USgamer review. Restrictions on my build prevented screenshots and direct video recording. Not sure how many others had the same rules.

That's what I hate about journalists making articles before the public can play it. I mean it's great they enjoy their job, but it robs people of their own enjoyment of the game.
The batmobiles were defective. Check out the thread on it.

The Batmobile is a lie.
Don't be upset with GameStop. The Batmobile edition was canceled due to quality issues.

When the heck is Gametrailers going to release theirs!?
None of the reviews are XB1 code so I'm cautioning people to wait until someone actually has it and reports back.

Yea just saw that as well. Seems like he's lying though as people who have the game are saying it's not true in the comments.

The technology wasn't being shown off as much as it was later on. You had nothing to compare it to except the original which was outstanding. Fast forward years later and there's your universal attitude about MGS. It's caught in with everything else.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Idk, if something is being very well received I tend to take that as the overall consensus over picking one review and saying "yea I'll go with this."
Thanks for the concern, but I already have it pre-loaded. I am sure it will be just fine.
Thanks for that, it certainly seemed odd that no one did videos and even the IGN video review was basically all trailer footage.
I had only heard about the monday night embargo, I guess that's when videos will be allowed

Interested to see how he game performs. Especially when Kevin from Gamespot gave Witcher a 10 while being a mess technically.

Dat Gamespot, what happened.?
Because MGS2 is a true masterpiece that blew everyone's minds.

And to this day, Greg Kasavin's review of MGS2 counts as one of the best reviews I have ever seen. I remember downloading it slowly via 56k modem. Thsoe first few sentences slayed me.
One of the better releases in recent memory, technically speaking.

I kind of gave up getting good bosses with most games these days. It's a dying art.

Wow. 10 from Polygon. Holy shit. Game looks fantastic. Great scores. Will be picking this up at some point for sure.

Considering reviewers give out 9's and 10's like they're candies these days, I'll give it a rent and see if I like it. I could never get into previous Batman games.

I want to be thrilled but I find this franchise is fun for a few hours but never grabs me for the full ride.
Hope this one feels a bit more fresh.

Any word on how long the main story is? I usually plow through the story and then do the side stuff so I have all the gadgets.
This is one of the few games I'm extremely sensitive about spoilers, so I'm avoiding reading reviews until I've had sufficient time to clear the story.

Not for a while. Brandon's reviewing and they've been streaming all week.
