Embargo ends tomorrow and most sites dont give a shit. Expect a decent number of reviews from known sites for the cheap heat.
That review today is just some random back ally blog.
Preordered.

I could see IGN posting a review. They have a provisional review policy as of a few months ago. Uncharted 4 was the first game to get it. The initial review was 8.8, but after the multiplayer was up and running, it was bumped up to a 9. I think Doom had a provisional rating as well. I don't remember. I think it was a revival of their (defunct?) policy in which they'd go back and re-review games that have had substantial changes (Their re-review of Minecraft Pocket Edition was the review that comes to mind).

Oh yeaaah.
There was also another story of
an alien wanting the player to punch him in the face. The player complied, and now they have a special relationship.
Maybe it's because i mostly play on PC but "what's on the disk" being some sacred version of the game is a really alien concept to me.
Every game with a mere semblance of lifespan will change over time, some massively. And almost all exploration/survival games fall into the category "changes a lot over time".
The only thing that's an issue with the day 1 patch is that it makes reviews more likely to be rushed. However, in the genre NMS is, reviews don't matter much. If it's good, people will pick it up because streamers play it.

I think the kids call it 'concern trolling'.

If people are that concerned about the Day 1 patch not being part of the disc, they should just wait for an eventual GOTY Edition/Special Edition.
Review thread's up already? Oh boy, god speed lads

I'm hoping NMS devs do a postmortem on the development because I suspect they have many stories to tell. Like, years ago now, I think the year they announced NMS, they had an office flood that nearly killed their company, plus the grand premiere at a Sony(?) conference that blew everyone away. Then the hype for it; an endless, fully procedural adventure; then delay and hype again; and now here we are days from launch... all from Hello Games, Those Dudes Wot Made Joe Danger.
Does gamasutra basically have a corner on the postmortem market? Feels like that's the only site I ever see them from.
Though if, by "soulless" you mean, "every game looks kinda-sorta the same," then I'd agree. Their weird art style has been slowly blending together for a while now. I'm going to blame the engine, just because I want to.

Brad and Jeff would agree, but only if you're talking about Nintendo. Dan would agree, because you're arguing the exact same thing as him. And I would not, because that applies to pretty much any long-running developer, particularly when they're leading the charge on a new genre of gaming (cinematic adventure games).

Yeah, for one small PlayStation based website that believes if a game is on a shelf, that's the version that should be reviewed (upcoming massive Day 1 patch or not). They said they might go back and adjust their review if they deem the patch big enough.
I wouldn't rule it out but afaik his background is as a producer which became more of a PR role at Disney. The Sony role appears to be more of an account manager role, or at least heading up that division.
That would be so good. But release the video after the 9th

They should title an upload No Man's Sky Video Review and then have Starbound gameplay.
That would be hilarious and also there would be riots.
They also have a reviews editor who doesn't have a clue what he's doing, so I wouldn't put anything past them.

If you like cool guy stuff then the grand finals of the Rocket League Championship Series are just starting.
It has a pretty big chunk of money on the line and they have a live crowd etc.
They are full e-sports at this stage.

I've been fully anti-esports for years now. But this whole tournament has been such fun to watch. Cosmic gots this.
It's horse dancing mate, not much more too it.
It just looked like a British lady in a top hat riding a horse in a circle.
Yeah it's a bit weird. But so long as those old money folk bring home the medals, they could do the tango with an entire stable for all I care.

Dan Stapleton? The one thing he did that sort of ticked me off (and I hope the reviewer) was when he posted a scathing counter review of Bloodborne. I have no problem with people disliking Bloodborne. The thing I took issue with was the fact he posted his counter-review days (maybe even a week) before the official review was posted. If I were the reviewer of the game, I would've been livid. IGN says time and time again that the review is what every IGN employee stands by, even if you wholeheartedly disagree with it. So what was the reviews editor, of all people, thinking by neutering their reviewer's take on the game, especially a highly anticipated exclusive?

GB should troll everyone by doing a last-minute Unfinished of the pre-patch version of NMS.
Jeff be like
That would be great, but they seem sympathetic enough to Sean Murray to not do him dirty like that.
Nope, 2000s

I really think Vinny should start wearing a gi again.
Surprisingly, or perhaps unsurprisingly, there are remixes dedicated to Mr Eyeballs. Moreover, if you type Mr Eyeballs into YT search, the first result is the Mario Power Tennis opening cinematic.

I wonder what the Japanese version of that cinematic is like.

Yes, he doesn't need to move for the vice job though.

Ah alright, I thought he coming to new york was him scoping out a place to work from there.
