I can finish Deus Ex: HR in the same time without side quests and going with agressive approach. May be even faster.

Because he is generally pretty critical.
Though, I'm not surprised in the slightest that he loves this as much as he does.
This has been on some of our GOTY potential lists for a while, it feels pretty good that those feelings are justified. I love that this game seems to be as long or as short as you want it to be. The amount of freedom seems to be very refreshing. We don't get many chances to play a game that gives you logical(in context of the universe) ways to approach a mission.
I am very happy that this is a critically acclaimed as I felt it would be. I'm not surprised. Just pleased to see that this game seems to deliver on most of its promises.

Oh, so it means the game is bad? Okay.
No, it's just odd he'd drop his shtick just for a couple games.
It'd be one thing if he was always like that, then you could just ignore him. But him bouncing around like that is just retarded.
I think he is pretty consistent with quality games.
More often I believe it means a game he hates is just fine, or at least not THAT bad. Well, there was Deadly Premonition, but that's a very unique case in that it IS "bad", but absolutely worth playing (and potentially more enjoyable to play anyway than many "good" games.)

God damn this game just oozes atmosphere. Beautiful. Thanks Blim²
Thank driftwood, I had nothing to do with these videos
That he has no taste?

I didn't buy MW3 so I can't comment on whether it's good or not. But, on the same hand I have friends that absolutely loved it and would probably rate it the same as Mr. Sterling did. No taste? That's a bullshit comment. Different taste? Yeah, that's more like it.
Granted I dislike the influential stranglehold that CoD has on the FPS genre, doesn't make them bad at all, just not something I like.
Uhm, taste should not affect reviews.
For my fellow frenchmen, the notoriously hard to please Nofrag.com published its review, and it is glowing.

Hahaha, yeah I guess.
Like I said, I haven't played it myself as it seems so cookie cutter that I can't bring myself to play it. But if you have a very multiplayer centric game tendency than I could see how you'd like it. We seem to have relatively the same taste in games, I'd prefer that more games like Dishonored were released as often as CoD was, though I feel that CoD seems to be more of a yearly expansion pack as opposed to a new game and that's why I dislike it.
Long live emergent gameplay!
I can't remember the last time I've seen Dr.Loser being so enthusiastic about a game, that's quite impressive.
I'm so hyped right now, it's a shame I won't be able to play the game for another week...
The comments on that Gamerlimit review are incredible. People talking about masterful mechanics, and once in a generation game despite never having played it, because someone else said what they want to hear while this reviewer disagrees.
I didn't read the review itself, nor am I bothered about a score which many might consider low, I just scrolled to the bottom and the comments made it all worth while.
The Rock Paper Shotgun review was glowing. It sounds wonderful to me, and I'll read the full Edge review after I've played the game.

What stream?
Right? It's awesome, gaf getting teached sometimes.
Gonna trust a site I frequent rather than a site I've never heard of, especially when the site I frequent is a lot closer to the developers' expected completion length of ~20 hours ghosting. Polygon said it takes sixteen hours.
Really happy that this is getting such high scores. Kinda sucks that apparently GiantBomb and GameInformer are weighted heavily enough on Metacritic to drag down the game's score into the high-80s. This sounds very much like it's up there with the best of 'em--maybe even better than the Bioshocks and Half-Life 2s of this world.
Bethesda might have prohibited reviewers from spoiling it.
Interesting, I wonder if the story comes close to being as interesting as say Bioshock this gen. I really wouldn't mind a game like that, wouldn't mind it at all

None of the reviews I've watched are too spoilery.
I've managed to watch the Gametrailers/IGN/ElderGeek/TotalBiscuit WTF?! and none have spoiled anything too much. Granted if you wanted to go in knowing nothing at all, you'll naturally have that spoiled. But if you already know most of the gameplay mechanics they are mostly just the same praise across the board. You could watch one and pretty much have a baseline as to what the other ones were to say.
If you want something to look at like I did, you won't really ruin anything by watching those reviews. They all essentially say the same thing:
-Good Mechanics
-Good Art
-Cool Powers(especially blink)
-Emergent Gameplay
-Poor ending to the story.
That's pretty much all of the reviews in a nutshell.
Strangely no one has commented on the music, which I find strange as the composer Daniel Licht has done some great things in the past. From what I've heard from previews his music sounds great and seems to add quite a bit.

Wanted to play it on PC. But for the PC version i need : new Ram, new Cpu and Windows 7. Its the PS3 version then.
I disagree. From what I've read in his reviews, he nitpicks and uses that as an excuse to crush the score. It always comes across as him trying to rile people.
Educated guess would be that the 360 version is the best, not just because the 360 wins nearly every competition, but because the 360 and Unreal Engine 3 are best buddies.
Surprisingly XP is absent from the system requirements on Steam. And they actually are fairly hefty, even for Recommended, and this sounds like a game that's brutal to consoles.

You aren't kidding. I was surprised to see that I ran into some issues that seemed to be relatively exclusive to a GTX 680 with Borderlands 2. I was surprised to see that a 460 was the recommended minimum and maximum for Dishonored. I'd imagine a GTX 9800 would be the min. Though, from the TotalBiscuit WTF?! it seems that this is pretty well optimized.

No.They can say what they want about how good the PC version is but it seems to be another beast wich doesnt looks better then Sleeping Dogs but just needs the same Hardware.
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic was the same on the PC. Poorly optimized on PC. But just let this get you down people. I'm sure with a good PC the PC version will run just fine... on low settings.
Total Buiscuit had this to say about the PC version:
"I didn't encounter any bugs. If I had I'd have mentioned them. The PC version seems to be rock solid across the board. "
Also the PC version is using textures four times the resolution of the consoles versions, should require beefier hardware.

I think you underestimate the scalability of UE3. My brother managed to get Borderlands 2 running on one of the shittiest laptops I've seen at acceptable frame rates that looked almost as good as the console version.
I guess you can set textures to console quality.
Please, we're talking about an UE3 game here, not Metro Last Light. I guarantee you a mid range PC will able to max it out, and lower end laptops will be able to run it at console quality settings.

Yeah but the Crash-to-the-desktop-because-you-dont-have-WindowsVista/7 is a major problem for me.
are you still on XP?
