the game crept up on me. completely forgot this was coming out next week.

definitely on my radar now for PC. predicting sub 80 scores.

 

[gdt]

Reviews at midnight? So 20ish minutes from now?

 

[VanWinkle]

Since the embargo ends at midnight ET, I guess I'm staying up to see the reviews. I'm hardly going to get any sleep (I have to work at 7am ET tomorrow), but oh well.

 

[A Serious Man]

Expecting something in the 7.5-8.5 range, a solid game I can take my time with.

 

[xBladeM6x]

When the reviews start coming out, are they going to be in the OP?

 

[VanWinkle]

When the reviews start coming out, are they going to be in the OP?

I'm sure they will but somebody should make a review thread.

 

[Levyne]

When the reviews start coming out, are they going to be in the OP?

I mentioned this earlier, but I can't really do it at the moment.

BUT

If someone wants to make a review thread, they may and I will update the OT here when I get a chance tomorrow

 

[matrixman92]

taking a break from writing an essay to check on reviews. Just to make sure, there are 0 places revieweing the xbox one version correct?

 

[negitoro7]

Woohoo, my thread subtitle was chosen

Can't wait to see some reviews, out of curiosity. Day 1 for me for sure regardless of review scores.

 

[DarkoMaledictus]

Damn this walkthrough got me even more hyped. Well made!

Hoping for the best. One more minute.

 

[Euron]

So is this going to be the next Batman Arkham? I'll keep my eye on this.Hopefully reviews will be good, the marketing online has been pretty funny so far.

well, shit.

don't like to be this hasty, but I'll just go ahead and pre-order this.

 

[EventHorizon]

I'm super hyped for the game now. There is just one concern I have that I hope the reviews can put to rest. I wish you spent more time out in the world. My quick snap judgement of the game is that you use the Nemesis menu to pick who to fight, teleport near them, engage in the fight, and then repeat. Even that part looks fun, but it does make the game feel smaller.

Edit: Well right as I posted this the review scores came out. SO FAR SO GOOD!!!! HYPE RISING!!!.
