Looks like my kind of game, been hearing even on default hardware the load times are insanely amazing, can't wait to see if my SATA SSD has any additional impact on that.

Can't be real... I've never given a shit about them that's why I probably haven't noticed but that pattern.... oof. Not even Polygon.

Nioh 2 and FFVII R a 70?

Yup, I've been looking through their review history... it's a disaster. Why is this magazine still around? Detroit Become Human - 50% , Days Gone - 50%, Gears 5 - 60%

Meme worthy to list all of them on an image with a big fat middle finger for their obvious B.S.

What got me was the variety of genre's that make it statistically almost impossible for the scores to line up like that. There is only one common denominator.

83 is fine, there are still some reviews to come in like PlayStation Official and a few others......

They can't stop me from enjoying the fuck out of the game anyway, pick up the CE in the morning. Gamestop are so stupidly strict with release dates...

You playing yet?

Nope. Crossing fingers our lord Bezos blesses me tomorrow.... busy day too. Would have been perfect today.
 
Just played 3 hours of the game.

Graphically amazing, but I can't help but feel like this game shouldn't have came out after TLOU 2.

There's just some jank in the mechanics at the upstart of learning the game, and the animations can be a little janky as well.

But I've only scratched the surface, but I'm at lukewarm state of mind to the game as is right now.

Will update as I progress.

-Story hooked me from the get go.
-Looks and sounds amazing
-Very satisfying exploration. Random npcs give location hints for quests, minimal map markers etc.
-Combat is way better than I expected. Tons of skills to unlock.
-You will get a taste of the instant fast travel on PS5. On my launch ps4 it is 1-4 seconds a few times I tried. Magic!

Only thing I don't care is the loot/upgrade stuff. Just get rid of those please.

Nice, I hope you enjoy all the way through...
Cannot wait to experience it too!

Anyone playing tested the difference between hard and normal? Was on the fence initially because it looked a bit easy with the insta-kills, but it sounds like there's more to it. Preloading my copy for tomorrow morning, can't wait!

Nice! Thanks for the initial impressions. 7.5 more hours here!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

This was what Digital Foundry said as well - a lot of the animations are stiff and there is a lot of environment clipping. They mentioned though that most of these problems aren't present in combat, hoping they're right about that.

I thought TLOU2 was gonna be the swan song for the PS4
but...I'm only a hour in and damn this is how you end the generation
The game is amazing.

But...but Edge said it's only a.... 6!



But screw them...I'm so HYPED!!

Enjoy the game bro!

You're comparing apples and oranges, this is more like Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey and HZD an open world action adventure without a focus on one aspect like say DMC5/Nioh2 (combat system) or Uncharted/TLOU (story and TPS).

I love AC/HZD so this is right up my alley.

I just took a look on their page on metacritic and found that they gave god of war II, mass effect, killzone 2, fallout 3, new super mario wii, donkey kong country returns and final fantasy tactics advance a 7!!

we need a thread about them so we can laugh a little.
Yes, a thread would be good... I mean, it's ridiculous enough that they are still in business.

It's really not the end of the world that Edge gave the game a 6, Bryank75 Bryank75

They have been one of the most respected gaming magazines of all time. Their reputation has always been built on a "hard to please" approach to reviewing. I don't read them anymore, but over the years, Edge have given lower scores to loads of games that I've ended up loving (Hellblade, for example). Hopefully this is the case with Ghost.

There's no sense in banging on about it. You should probably just forget it & enjoy the game.

Of course... the game is still 85 on Opencritic which is more legitimate anyway since it doesn't arbitrarily weight certain scores.

I'm really happy with the scores. My prediction was 81!

Very hyped to play. Won't be long till Edge is gone anyway.

This is the way.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.

I'm sure Edge gave Metal Gear Solid an 8 , it's been a long time but I'm sure that's what they scored it

Meh, normal enough for this generation...same stuff in Sekiro. CPU has held this gen back a lot.... even though TLOU2 has some better AI.
yeah but this is really barebones, both for the enemies incredibly limited sight\hearing and general awareness, the guy kill the mongol through that paper door and the other enemy is right there doing nothing, it was hilarious to see.

i played a LOT of stealth and open world games during this gen, and that is pretty bad.

on the other hand, you have this :lollipop_squinting:

15 minutes!!!!! I might just turn my laptop in an hour or so just so I can post a quick impression. If I don't, it'll be because it's superb, if I do, it'll be because I remembered I was supposed to pretend I gave a fuck about anyone here.
