Is this some kind of joke? the video is tagged as a spoiler and shows pretty much NOTHING we haven't seen yet.

If you're so spoiler sensitive why are you in here? i doubt you would read any reviews.
 
ouch paid a high price for waiting to preorder survival edition, gamestop no longer accepting preorders in store (seems best buy also from reading online) and amazon also no longer (and I have prime too)
 
I still don't understand why EDGE is put on a pedestal. It has writers whom are just as lacking in expertise as any game journo publication that gets shit on a daily basis. They are not even decent enough to tell you who writes what.

If this game has a real sad ending (like they make you shoot the girl or you shoot yourself or the girl shoots you), I get the feeling that it will be more susceptible to a hyperbolic honeymoon period. "Sad" gets special treatment as far as emotions go, in fact some people go as far to treat it like the only "emotion".
 
I keep wondering why people are lingering around. What news could be released at this point, including reviews, that wouldn't be at least partially spoilerific?

You can be quite confident that the game is great, at this point. If you are waiting for reviews, they aren't here yet(at least, not the full impressions). If you are discussing the game, you can't be overly squeamish about spoilers.

The title alone just named new enemies.

If their names are spoilers, this is certainly a spoiler.

Tomorrow will be a fun day.

EDGE's articles are actually of a higher quality than most generally.

And they don't have bylines because they use an institutional voice.

Edge is looked upon as one of the higher quality magazines even though they fall prey to the same trappings as other publications. What I don't understand is how people can take what Edge says at face value if they gave a game like a 8 or 9, but as soon as a 10 comes out it's all, "LOL Edge isn't credible anymore!" Whoever said it earlier was right. Since this is an exclusive, people are going to start flip-flopping all over the place. I just want to see scores so we can be done with it.


Would you like a round of applause for being facetious or should I just ignore the rest of your replies

You do whatever your little heart desires. I'm not losing any sleep over either choice. :P
 
He's the anti-Derrick.

I miss Derrick :p

Don't you know, happy people can't be deep. Listen to your inner hipster
 
You should GTFO if you're gonna troll on a poster for being excited for a game.
Since when is noticing someone's rapidly changing opinion trolling?
Perhaps you shouldn't take everything as a personal insult especially if you can't comprehend the nature of the post

What does noticing someone's opinion have anything to do with the overall topic of the thread which is talking about the review scores for TLoU? I didn't know trying to analyze the behavior of a poster was included in the OP.

Amazon must have just stopped because I placed my order over the weekend while I was in Best Buy. BB is offering $20 gift cards, so I was going to go with them, but it didn't work out.

He'll definitely last long here. He judges people more than anything that has to do with the review scores.

It was just an aside from what was going on In the thread
If I danger your life so with my posts consider the ignore button I've grown rather tired of you nitpicking my posts like some mighty overlord looking down on the peasants
