Good on you full-time job for letting me take holiday on Tuesday!
Giantbomb.
That's pretty much it nowadays. They seems to be right on most of the time.
Eurogamer is good too.

Yeah I took quite a bit of annual leave to visit family over the holiday period. Oh well.

Giantbomb, Edge, Euro, RPS. Still anticipating Quarter to Three's 2/5 for it though. Tom seems to work like that
Thanks!

From what I played so far I expect the scores to be between 70 and 85.
Or 4 stars at best from GiantBomb
Well, Dishonored was the most overrated game of last year. I think people were just desperate for something like it. It has a 92% on Metacritic, it's just not that kind of game to me.
I hope GTA V bombs.
Euro, GiantBomb, RPS and Gametrailers (just the content of what they say, not necessarily the scores they give).

DukeBobby relies on DukeBobby reviews to make his decisions on game purchases. I like this a lot.
If a game is interesting enough I'll buy it. Reviews be damned.
GT? ok i take it. You don't care about spoilers.

I have to say I agree, if people were calling this the worst game in years I'd still be picking it up
Okay our review of Bioshock Infinite was slightly updated after the amount of hate we got...

He updated the review to hopefully make it more bearable to read. Whether he's improved is up to you to judge"

I wouldn't call it hate.
I swear GT tries to find the most spoilery things they can possibly put into their reviews. They're worse than launch trailers.
It may sound like a stupid question, but once you preordered a game, do you read the review before playing it?
I never read reviews before playing a game I know I'll buy eventually, but I eat them all after playing it for some reason, I guess to find out if people agree with me or to get a fresh perspective on what I just experienced.

I gotta say, regardless of the state the review is in this second, that
a.) It's really cool you guys take criticisms at face value and don't take it too personally
b.) It's really cool you at least started the process of improving based on some of those criticisms
So, I never heard of Nave360 and whatnot, but it gained some respect in my book
Hate, feedback, whatever it was, had to be updated.
I only want to hear what the generally agreed upon complaints are. Knowing the game's flaws going in helps me focus on the good and not get my hopes up for certain things only to wind up being let down by them.

I think they're trying to be clever by putting the spoiler parts in front of you hoping that you can't process it. I noticed that in many of their videos after finishing the game. I don't find it very clever.
Eh i expected a 5/5 now.

Thank you, we value feedback, we want to improve
They almost always show the final boss fights.
If everyone did this, these forums would be less annoying at times.

AUS retailers have been pretty trigger-happy (re: incompetent) with big releases lately. What are the odds of a break, chu reckon?

:lol Goodness GT. Noticed there's a separate written part now. That might help with customizing the spoiler intensity. That is assuming they don't detail the final boss in the written review. haha.
I read it again. It is a substantial improvement.
Thank You!
Good question, and honestly it's coming from the word Knave, which is a Jack in a pack of cards, it just sounded cool... and we were 360 site to begin with.
hahaha... nope,

Im about 65% through the 360 version now based on my collectables numbers and I really really love it so far. It maintains momentum really well and I always want to push on to unravel the next thread of the story. I have hit a level breaking bug once and had to quit out and restart a section but thats my only issue. The sound design is incredible everything down to the balancing, the way music blends into combat and new areas and the choice of radio songs. It really brings the city to life.
I don't take much notice of review scores these days but if its not hitting the 90+ average something must go very wrong near the end.

So that people can accidentally click on it. Muhahaha.
One guy wanted to vent his frustrations when he could have easily waited until Tuesday.

Blame retailers for legitimate and not-so-legit releases. Steam really does a good job with release dates, as far as I've seen. I guess you can't break into a box full of games when the box doesn't actually exist and the game itself is scrambled up.
I don't know man, i hate it. Almost clicked on that fucker. And the thread title needs a change if you ask me. The whole thread should be written in capslock for such a story important game.
The funny thing is it's mostly one guy posting there.

Why complain about something you can easily ignore or avoid? ...read the title, bam. I know not to go in there. So damn whiny...
And yeah, there are folks who got their hands on early copies sooo.. I really don't see the big deal.
