I was expecting good reviews but not that good. Will still probably hold off though.

I hate to be 'that guy' (even though I seem to do it a lot), but GoT was on two whole days ago. Those watching it should really have seen it by now (especially since it's AWESOME). Just because the show is great, doesn't make it exempt from having people talk about it after it airs.
Speaking of, it feels so good to be able to talk freely about what happened in my own house, I've been trying not to spoil Mrs Sniv for three whole years now. Still, out of the two of us, I was the one wet eyed by the end of the episode.
Everyone needs to watch this show NOW!
Two days isn't very long - especially for people with full time jobs.
I avoided the Internet - but I can't really be expected to predict a huge spoilerific article on the third page of a newspaper can I?
I've preordered the PSN version of The Last of Us, if I wanted to get it day one here it would cost twice UK retail and Amazon overnights tend to end up costing much the same in the end. I just hope not to fall into some knobend spoiling it so will avoid picking up the Metro.

METRO is dead to me. If I see a pile, I'm burning it.
But yes, TLoU sounds quite incredible. I love the demo. I'm probably going to get it fairly close to launch, might as well vote with my wallet. ND are one of the best devs working today, they deserve every success.
You're the Citizen Kane of BGBWs.
Reviewers really go into full hyperbole mode over Naughty Dog games. It was obvious get 8+ due to it being last major PS3 exclusives from Naughty Dog who are reviewers favorite at moment.
I keep expectations in check it looks damn great but after the 10/10 review for Uncharted 3 which turned out be 5/10 in the end we will wait

Difference is Uncharted 3 always looked like more of the same to me. I was interested, sure, but I wasn't excited.
The local hysteria on facebook is amazing

It definitely appears to be something special- another fantastic swan song for the PS3.
Strange, since it hasn't really been on my radar, but I'll definitely take a look in the next few months.
Take your hyperbole about U3 to the gaming side.
terrible script, pointless characters, pointless middle half IM ON A BOAT MOTHERFUCKER, dull character interaction and laughable ending.
I was disappointed in UC3 before posting on GAF *hipster mode on*
Yea it was pretty bad, didn't even play as well as the 2nd game.

Dat Druckmann.
I didn't have issues with shooting like most people and the fact the game turned into a horde mode I just blanked out as I rushed to end it.
Only Uncharted game I not replayed, I tried other day and could not carry on with it. Think I played U2 more then 4 times never get tired of it

Game designed around set pieces first, story not as compelling.
Bad pacing and some strange level design.
Online is overly complex- U2 kept it simple and to the point.
The aiming issue, which was addressed.
At worst a 7, personally I'd give it an 8.

I'm selling my Xbox 360, ever since I bought my uber PC I haven't turned it on.
You served me well buddy but compared to my PC you're shit.

The only part I enjoyed was the France section it reminded me of Borneo of UC2 but after that it just shits it self. The set pieces damn weak sauce the main set piece they kept hyping the plane was a blink and miss it moment. UC2 had tons of great sets that still enjoy the tank in tibet still my favorite I still for some reason giggle at the RPG line. I didn't bother with online that much and never had issues with aiming the true issue was bullet sponges and hordes coming in waves from behind you.
Tomb Raider cheated worse in combat if you move back a few steps they would spawn enemies behind you to funnel you back into combat zone plus they can throw fire bombs no matter if they cant see you.

What about GTAV? Hopefully it will come to PC eventually though.
My PS3 is basically a GT5 machine but should get some more life out of it between TLoU, GT6 and GTA5 this year. Plus maybe that David Cage one

Up to a point. I never felt as comfortable popping head shots and tracking targets as I did in U2, even post patch. The patch basically minimised the lag, but failed to eradicate the mechanical "H-gate" feeling of the crosshair. U2 felt smooth, gradual, organic with its aiming, U3 felt angular and mechanical.
I'm not sure if I've articulated my point very well, it just didn't feel right. Vanquish, Dead Space, Tomb Raider, those games had sublimely tuned aiming.
Agreed.
Uncharted 1 = semi-competent Gears clone with awful 'platforming' and impressive (for the time) production values
Uncharted 2 = a game the expertly blended cover shooting and platforming into a genuinely fresh experience. Production values through the roof and interactive set-pieces (even if smoke and mirrors) peppered throughout were exciting
Uncharted 3 = set-piece city, and just felt 'off' somehow. And very tired. Like they put the B-team on it and said "read the IGN review of Uncharted 2 and make Uncharted 3 based on those specs"
Played the Vita one briefly on a friend's Vita (because who seriously wants to own one of those things themselves?) but it just felt generic at that point.
I stopped caring about my 360 when I got my gaming PC as well. Doesn't have any exclusives I like and anything that comes just consoles will likely be just as good on PS3 (an I prefer trophies to achievements anyway). Guess I'll be a little sad when I miss out on Fable Anniversary but I'm sure I'll manage.

Anyone know when the general E3 thread with conference times is going up?

I've not gamed on my PS3 since last year, I mainly use it for Blu-Ray.
Golden Abyss had potential, but it was bogged down with too much DS launch era levels of shit.
I'm sure saw a thread with all times can't find it trying find the konami time for tomorrow think it 6pm

The first time I played it through I believed the patch had changed it back to something approaching U2 automatically, and not made it an alternative style. Didn't realise until halfway through, felt pretty stupid for assuming it.
I want to play Vanquish again now since I'm a little more competent with my DS3 these days. So short though! Really needs a next gen sequel.

The EDGE review is all I needed to see. Animal Crossing plus TLoU probably makes this June the best gaming June ever. E3? What's that?

I have a 60GB 360 that I've be thinking of trading in to CeX but it doesn't smell like sweat, cum or a 40 fag a day habit.
You can sort that issue out with a hours hard work

CEX often smells like sweat, cum and a 40 fag a day habit.
Edit: LOM, play Vanquish again. In fact, play it twice. It's too much awesome for one run.

Hotline Miami if you please?
I'll be honest, it is for my pal, if that makes any difference. But he is a gaffer! (freethought). He doesn't really post anymore though.
No problem, dunno if it will work so feel free to pass it on.
