Closer to Sonic 3D Blast, actually. In the way that Metal Arms: Glitch In The System was an offshoot of Grim Fandango.

Combat in FIFA sucks, dude.
Pro Evolution Soccer all the way!
Where? I found it for R$1700.
For R$1300, I can dig it!
I can only assume you meant The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, in which case I have no idea, because I heard that game sucked big ones

No I meant XCom Enemy Within, the one with full cover half cover.
Sent a PM (just posting because I never notice when I have new messages, so, in case it's not just me...)
Nope, the game is a third-person shooter, not a strategy game.

Halo has more in common with Gran Turismo than this game does with Xcom.
It's a spiritual successor to enemy within.
You play as the aliens and have to invade earth.

My message icon turns orange when I receive a PM, and thanks!
Isn't that a joke post?

Ok I'll try out FIFA.
It's actually better than it seems, the story picks up halfway through and the gameplay has a lot of variety
Good choice. The Lionel Messi boss fight is intense as fuck.

I consider him to be the best boss, but some people prefer the Cristiano one.
And if you finish the game on legendary without taking a hit, you'll unlock the Pelé boss battle!
I have a shrine dedicated to both of them.
Gotta make sure to help out that dog at the beginning so he can distract Messi, too.

That thread was also made 6 weeks before this one was.

We kinda spammed it a little bit, but a lot of people have their avatar Evilfyed at Gaf right now!

We've also gone through like 5 main threads and settled in here after Slasher's thread got locked.
Yeah most of the posts are from the hardcore fans but still.
If you look at the Who's Posted? of each thread, this thread has mostly been the same 5 or so people, while the Mordor thread shows a wider range of interest from unique posters.
And if you want to talk about sales potential, Mordor has been near the top of the Steam Best Sellers list for a while now. The Evil Within is nowhere to be seen. For whatever the Amazon sales chart is worth, Mordor is #23 in Video Games and TEW is #200.
This is on the front page of IGN right now:
It is what it is. We're hardcore fans of a niche game (by AAA standards).

It's not quite XCOM, but it's not quite Leisure Suit Larry either. It's something you have to experience for yourself.

The week before TEW is released it will jump to the top of the Steam sales charts as well.
I think your analysis has good merit, just pointing that out.

Pfft, forget the meta score - I'm more interested in what you guys think it will get from the places I listed.

Even if this game bombs, at least we know we tried.
Smash in 10 days, Alien a few days after, and then this a week later. And I may get Mordor.
Tail end of 2014 is looking incredible.

Between The Last of Us: Remastered, Shadow of Mordor, and Far Cry 4, I get a triple-shot of Baker this year.
Be still my heart.

I expcet the same meta score. Somewhere between 80 and 85 should suffice for The Evil Within. Regardless, it is a day 1 purchase on the PS4.

Same as my prediction in the metacritic thread.
EDGE will give it a 9 and a few years later write an editorial on how they should have given it a 10,just like they did with RE4.

I don't pay attention to reviews 98% of the time so I'm not sure how to participate.
Then you have a very wrong idea of the game and should watch some of the new preview videos floating around or read people's impressions on this.
Fair enough, but Hannah Montana and FIFA in a topic about Evil Within. I had to check three times if I was in the correct place, and I dont think I'll ever understand how gaf logic works.

I have no problem it. Most people buy crap anyway ... as long as you throw enough precious marketing money at it.
EDIT: Finished RE1 yesterday. 5h playtime ... 12 saves, best ending (Jill). And I ran everywhere all the time and know the puzzles.
That "RE1 in 2h untouched, no prob bro" crap people say is bullshit. Dodging zombies and hunters is never easy.
And I finished that game over and over.

Its easy if you know what to do. Just avoid unecessary dog and zombies to avoid wasting ammo. Use shotguns for hunters to knock them down and cover an area in case they dodge or jump. Use Colt Python for bosses(besides the Yawn). For him, just blast it with grenade launcher rounds.

Basically how I finished it. Arrived in the labs with 23 magnum rounds, 100 handgun bullets, 30-40 grenade rounds and just 10 shells (I use the shotgun for 90%,of the game or dodge things like dogs and spiders and most zombies). In the lab i like to take out the toys I never use up to this point. Still, beating the game with only knives or in 2h with the best ending? Thats hard shit. I still need 5h... Does the game count menu time? Because that could be caused by some breaks I took...
