So.
I guess I'm not going to finish Breath of the Wild before this comes out, huh.

Holy shit, so I might actually get my game either by tomorrow or Friday instead of Monday like I thought. This is the first time an order from Amazon has come from a warehouse that's actually in my state lol.
Super fucking pumped.

I mean, I want to buy the game, but what if it slips back to sub-90 levels again.
You got to believe!

Could someone explain how the Routes work? Do you get any different sections etc?

Some routes are completely different content. Check in the OT and someone might explain it there in more detail.
Route B is unlocked after completing A and this is the same campaign as A but with some new gameplay mechanics, new cutscenes, and new sections. Route C is after completing B and is an entirely new campaign.

Thanks! So does route A take 15-20 hours to finish alone? And being that route C is new I'm guessing it's quite short?

Just preordered the PC version.
I was going to wait until it went on sale, but decided against that.

not so much a spoiler but probably something that's a very pleasant surprise.
Depends on how many sidequests you do.
In terms of story missions Route A is about half of the game and Route C is the other half. Route B is a replay of Route A but with some additional and changed scenes.
However you'll likely spend the most amount of time on Route A simply because of the sidequests. You can do some (but not all) missed sidequests on Route B too. Sidequests in Route C/D tend to be shorter, except for the few that require very high completion percentage that you probably won't bother with until after clearing all the endings.

Fuck it. I'm buying a copy even if I don't have the console for it.
If Edge gives it full marks, maybe?
If it has a score of 90 on the day you buy it you're in the moral right, even if it drops later.
I don't have time for mediocrity, sorry. Won't play Horizon either as long as it's at 89.
Shit, I should have waited until more reviews were in before buying it at launch.
Anyway, I plan on starting Automata today. I'm still having a blast with Zelda, but I think my addiction has tempered off another that I can play something else for a bit (I say that as I'm sitting here eager to play more Zelda...).
I'm calling you out, sporting a FFXV, a game that is an 81 which might as well be 0, avatar, what do you have to say in your defense?

This game is absolutely sick love the gameplay massive environment and music is top notch glad I pre-ordered so worth.
Thi q1 is slowly becoming one of the best ever. I'm at the limits of having my handle on all these damn games man
Sad the limited edition is only se store though
No idea how the upgrades work though and I hope ps4 gets a resolution bump sometime seems like it could easily handle that

This game released on March 7th...
I guess America is the world now.
Never played that. Is that the GTA-like game with the car and the half-naked mechanic? I googled "John Wick game" and my avatar came up. Thought it looked cool.
And there's, y'know, the other platform it's releasing on in a week.
Though I can see why someone would forget that given Square's promotion of it.

90 metacritic huh. If this gets to 89 or 91 I'm returning my copy. I hate odd numbers.

Strap in, buddy. You're in for a ride.
Please make a LTTP before getting the last ending. Once you find two more branches, create the thread. We will be there to accompany you in the last one =D

Now I want to play it too
I can't make threads 
I'll bump the OT, instead.
Oh, something interesting, I was jokingly calling the very first level "Boletaria", but then Branch A ends in
. It can't be a coincidence, right? Even the boss room, haha.
Do it!
The framerate is REALLY bad, worse than you're probably imagining. But the game is much better than I expected, going by reactions from even people who liked Nier.

Can't wait to see your reactions during the final stretch of the game.
Also, this just made me lookup Drake3's OT and wow, that one had 27 pages. That sure is a difference to Automata's current 133 and counting

Guys, my pre-order is despatching today. But what if it drops back to 89?
Should I preemptively cancel my pre-order?
