It's only fair I get the code first.
I'm the one who has to be convinced if it's any good. Y'all are already on the train. I'm still extremely sceptical.

it's okay consider missing the stream a good thing so when you play it yourself you'll have an orgasmic first time experience that is fresh and new - this is of course if you already have a xbox console if not i understand that it sucks to miss it if this is your go to game to purchase X1
No need to brag bro.Hey man, I make some high quality posts.
Don't be hatin'.
Lol
Whenever you do get to see it, make sure it's the Gamersyde and IG streams those are the best ones and have people who actually know how to play demoing it.
Quoting for new page

When is the embargo on this up? Thinking of pre-loading, but if there are reviews hitting before release, I might wait just to be safe.

XB1 now for sunset, and then you can go PS4 next year for Ratchet ;-)
day before release iirc

Let's fight for it. It's you, me and Vernia...
You're poking a sleeping bear, breh.
Are you sure you want to go down this road?
I've been waiting to use that gif for months. I couldn't pass up on what was the perfect opportunity...

That concerns me a little, I have been looking forward to this and would be pretty disappointed if it's not positively received as it's been an underwhelming year in gaming imo

Sunset Overdrive's target demo must be sloths. So slow. So boring.
Sloth-like gameplay is the best way to describe how this non-game not-plays.

Embargo is like midnight PST on the day before, though. That's plenty time to read reviews and still have time to preload.
The council has convened, and decided that this is the correct course.
I assume Ratchet is coming out before February 6th, otherwise the council would like to propose February 6 as the purchase date instead.

I always thought the earlier the embargo, the more confident the publisher. I wish the guys well though, Im certainly ready for a purchase day one

If I could let ya in Monday, I so would. It'll unlock 6 hours later anyway...

there is some truth to that (ie, if you don't think the game will review well or whatever, maybe you hold copies back or embargo reviews until launch day, etc).
however, sometimes the challenge factor is the game getting done + servers being up / day 1 patches + allowing enough time for reviewers to play and write reviews.
I think we struck a good balance of reviews 24 hours prior to launch, while giving reviewers about 9-10 days with the game to review it (though i'm sure they would've liked longer!)

Hey JStevenson... I've always wondered this - what happens in the immediate aftermath of a game going gold and/or live?
The studio (especially dev, PR, test) have I guess been flat out right to the very last second... then suddenly it's in the public hands.
Obviously you need a core team there to keep servers up, cover critical patches, etc... but for a lot of people is it literally "be gone from the office for a few days and sleep"? Then what - back in and on with working on DLC?

It really doesn't mean much unless they're choosing to not send review copies until launch like in Destiny's case. That's how I feel at least.

Yea to me lt looks even emptier than Infamous: SS which had the bare minimum of content allowable when it comes to open world games. The platforming also just looks so damn slow, especially considering your character is supposed to be basically "skating" through the environment. I hope I'm wrong but first impressions aren't good. It doesn't help that I haven't like an Insomniac game since Ratchet and Clank: ACIT. And yes, I actually had a ball with Resistance 2, at least the online side of it. R1 and R3 didn't do much for me and let's not even talk about Fuse, holy shit! I cautiously pessimistic.
