I can't believe reviewscores are this low....
I still plan on playing the game. Just now right now.

Oh, wow.
The IGN video review makes the game look so GOOD and so BAD at the same time, if you get me. Glad I wasn't invested in this one.

6.5's ahoy!
Cue the
.
Cue the
lack of people smart enough to formulate opinions on their own
Negative hype didn't really slow down Destiny's sales, but for this type of game which is only a few hours instead of a decent grind like Destiny, i think it might hurt 1886's chances a fair bit.
All i hope is that this game doesn't destroy any chances for linear focused games in the future. I don't want every game to be open world, that's just check box Ubisoft game design. But i don't want the complete opposite where your barely playing the game yourself either. It has to be a balance of philosiphies

Until Dawn will get 1's and 2's then.
Lol I actually think that might be ok... we'll see.

What? DriveClub sold over a million copies world wide... None of us know the target number for any of these games so we cannot say if they bombed or not.

Pretty much what was expected since the reaction to first playable demo.
RAD should have known better that certain design decisions just wouldn't be popular nowadays.
But their biggest fault is in their PR, they tried to hide what the game was (basically an interactive movie with playable tps sections) for too long, they let people imagine it was something else like a victorian Uncharted and Gears (which probably is what most people wanted this game to be) and the disappointment from a certain group was amplificated. They should have stated clearly their intentions since the beginning, expectations would have been different and more calibrated, although they would have lost the attention of some people but who cares? It's not like this approach worked for them if those people felt deceived and then became the biggest critics.
Btw can't wait to play the game tomorrow to get my own opinion on it.

Wow some brutal reviews - Shame, I was hoping this was going to be a reason to buy a PS4, sadly not, I guess I will have to wait for UC4

Until Dawn is a whole different purpose, and I'm sure it will have much more replay value giving the choices you have during the campaing. So I'm not sure why the comparison.

People just need to keep this in mind when it comes to this game.
Great experience, but not worth more than $25.
It's not about the amount you throw, it's about the message you send to the industry when you buy a 6 hours game with no replayability $60.

Adds up to the rest of the bullshit you fabricated with only 15 posts up until now.

...what logical reason is there for reviewers to want to hate the game.

That's not very nice.
All I hope for is for them to get another shot from Sony. The foundations are in place, the engine is written, I want to see a sequel with the jump from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2, I think they have the potential.
Should I feel bad because I laughed out loud ?
It's incredibly disappointing that such a good setting is wasted on what is according reviews a C tier game.

And I'm glad we're moving away from that.
Ether in its purest form.
That's your definition of fun? Alright.
Arrogant Sony is back baby!
And my beloved "I have a PS4..." It's like starting a sentence with "I'm not racist but..."
It's a QTE and cutscene heavy, I assume 7-10 hours long game for $60.
I feel extremely bad for them now...

There we have it. I love how you felt obliged to state that you own a PS4 as if it would change anything.
Yeah. If you go through any developer and look at their top games and related interviews, see how many reference being 'cinematic' or 'filmic' or 'better than hollywood' or some other hint toward the movie industry. It's all encoded in the way games are made. More big name voice actors, Kevin Spacey, Andy Serkis, more focus on cutscenes and QTE and at-a-distance gameplay. Illusion of choice more and more transparently leads you down a single narrow hallway; games now refuse to throw a challenge at you because they feel dying takes you out of that cinematic experience.
So while there may only be 5 or 6 out and out "Movies-as-games" studios like Quantic Dream or Telltale Games, there's 30 or 40 developers who make huge games where being movie-like is a part of their philosophy.

Seriously, Supermassive games must be shitting themselves right now.
Unity was good, did you play it?

So defensive lol, who cares about MS, this thread is about a Sony exclusive.
This thread will probably last a lot longer than the game if the reviews i've read are anything to go by.
