Just got my subscriber's copy of Edge. Can confirm that is indeed a 10.
Is it up on Itunes yet? Gonna check now
They said the environmental puzzles are boring and the exploration may get boring when you keep searching a read and looking for a way to proceed.
I love it... when it actually applies. So I hope it applies!
But I don't really believe anything when reviewers say things about game stories. So far they've been wrong, oh, approximately 98% of the time I've ever seen them praise a game story so I have to judge for myself
I want to read Tom Chick's review too, I liked his Bioshock Infinite review.
This is the smart thing to do, but it requires some tact and patience.
Oh wow, that was fast haha.
For some people dropping $60 is a big deal I guess. Clearly the game warrants a purchase.
I am pretty sure its not a perfect score, but that is no reason to be a conspiracist about it. I am more hyped for GAF to get the game.

You have a point but let's be 100% realistic here, most people are sold on the game and are just using these reviews to further validate their own hype.
That's some scary dedication.
Honestly, I really hope The Last of Us does live up these glorious words that the reviewers have been showing this game with.
As a older gamer, I'm really looking more towards something that actually ATTEMPTS to move this industry forward (regardless of they fail or succeed at that).
This gen has been filled to the brim with games that I like to call "Me To" games. Games that try to copycat a successful formula, rather trying to be daring and do something different. So thank god Naughty Dog (and Irrational, and some other developers this gen as well) is at least trying to move the baton forward..for better or for worse, I least applaud them for that.

What is the evidence for Polygon being pro-MS? Even if they are, is there any evidence of them being particularly anti-Sony?

Well there's nothing new about that, happens with every game, there's almost always someone who is hyped about it.
The fun starts when people begin to meltdown over a 9/10 or a 4/5

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I like to think Uncharted 3 delivered an important message.
But you'd think Twilight Princess already did that *shrug*.
I usually associate them with aegis comments on twitter for some reason, so there is that.
Well, it seems quite likely that was a very different group of people, given the time difference.
Wait for TLoU3 review thread.

Well I've seen quite a few people say that Arthur Gies is pro-Microsoft, right back to when he first got known to us on Rebel FM.
I don't agree with that line of thought, just think that might be where it comes from.
Personally, I don't think any major website is "biased" towards one platform or company.

Nup. Not a fan of God of War, so I don't have access to it. But that's okay. I have all three Uncharted games and enjoy them well enough. From what little I've seen The Last of Us seems more like my kind of game, Naughty Dog focusing more on the actual mechanisms, their integration and development across an entire game worth of encounters and set pieces, and more dynamic, reactive play. I like Uncharted, but I don't love it, and the series doesn't represent what I love about this medium. The Last of Us looks far more closer to the kind of game I want to play.
I've also been on a pretty heavy unintentional blackout, so I don't know a lot about it. Enough to excite, but with a ton of room to know I'm going pretty blind with a lot of it. That should make it all the more enjoyable.
True that.

If you want a more recent over the top reaction then go look in the HALO 4 thread when the EGM review hit.
do you have a link?

they grouped playstation into one submenu on their site, but gave xbox two, TWO submenus distinguishing between 360 and xbone
what else do you need man, good lord
I believe it was ad-funded by Microsoft, but the site funding was from The Verge.
But I honestly heard the same thing when the site was being built.
Yeah this game is different in alot of ways compare to Uncharted.

PSM is a different publication altogether from OPS3
edit: or maybe not.
Haven't kept an eye on mags since 2006 or so.

I never pegged Woody for a Nintendo fanboy.
Nope, just someone on a different forum saying PSM gave it a 10/10.
Could be bs, could be real. Just reporting what i read
Hmmm..than why on Metacritic is OPM UK and PSM listed as 2 different reviewing publications?

Woody's that guy from yesterday who was trying to provoke overreactions for the 88%

The cars going by in the background in mid-air is the icing on the cake.

Boring puzzles don't bother me and exploration is never a con.
So far me that 9.5 is actually a 10
