The VGA's are on the 10th of Dec however the website points to something happening on the 7th, probably another teaser.

Thoughts?

Bah, pre-ordered with GameStop. Naughty Dog are amazing and the multiplayer sounds really interesting, I'm not usually too interested in MP.

This is going to end up with at least a 96 on metacritic. I'll eat my hat if it doesn't.

Bookmarked. Always wanted to see a guy eat his own hat :pac:

Official PlayStation Magazine has given it 10/10 but I've a feeling they may not be the most impartial reviewers around...

Empire (the move magazine) has given it 5 stars.

60 is a lot but that can be split between two different PSN users can't it?

Was talking to a friend that completed it and he wasn't all that impressed. Don't expect anything too far removed from Uncharted. He mentioned the writing wasn't that impressive and the girls AI was smoke and mirrors. He's usually a bit harsh when I talk to him about games but what I get from him is that it's not going to be groundbreaking like people are expecting.

The Multi doesnt look great. Firearms are either underpowered or melee is OP

Doesn't seem to be a scarcity of ammo or anything in it either. Hope this isn't showing off what MP is truly like.
That being said I didn't realise it had a MP till recently so I'm buying this strictly for the Single player. MP is a bonus for me :pac:

3 reviews and 3 perfect scores so far.

Empire 5/5
OPM 10/10
Edge 10/10

Obviously none of them are the most notable sources for trustworthy reviews but nevertheless a good starting point.

It's in one of the ads for the game. It just shows the usual "Edge 10/10 : Epic" quote.

balkieb2002

Played the demo of this last night and I can see where those scores are coming from.

Can't wait for the full release.

This looks disappointing – reminds me of GoW, maybe they should have just left it out.

Embargo on reviews is up tomorrow. MP looks generic, the melee and finisher moves looked nice tho.

balkieb2002

Multiplayer once again has no interest to me (same as GOW, Uncharted etc) so I'm hoping the singleplayer builds on what I've seen in the trailer/demo - storywise and gameplay.

One thing I did notice from playing it is the main characters movement is very fluid and as been mentioned this is brought into the combat (which I found very satisfying!).

Here is the link to where the Edge 10/10 news came from

http://www.shopto.net/news/42971/The-Last-of-Us-gets-1010-from-Edge-Magazine

Grumpypants

They way the Edge knock down PS3 review scores that 10/10 translates to a 13/10.

Zero-Cool

It says TLOU is the 15th game to get 10/10 from Edge so surely is something special.

Grumpy, you dropping a review for this tomorrow?

While Edge do great journalistic articles their reviews scores can be wildly inconsistent. I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

totally agree, they gave Grid 2 a 9. Not to mention the amount of times they got it wrong. I'll never forget the 6/10 they gave Final Fantasy 10. :mad:

They are very biased towards UK devloped games.

Only got it this morning and if its 16 hours long a review won't be ready for a few days. I am not rushing this game for anyone.

Place will be flooded tomorrow anyway so it would just get lost in the madness. Will post up some thoughts once the embargo lifts.

Proof that you're a gamer first, and journalist second :pac:

Yupp, enjoy that sh1t man! One thing I would like to know in your review is who is the best partnership Joel/Ellie or Lee/Clem

HAHA Yeah, I'm really enjoying Grid2 (more 8 than 9) but FF10 was crap.

While I agree about the inconsistency (and I've disagreed strongly with some of their previous 10s), I would generally consider Edge scores to be fairly solid. Who would you guys regard more highly?

The problem with Edge is their whole 'voice of the magazine' bull**** which means reviewers aren't credited. You don't know who reviewed the game so you don't know if you trust their opinion or if it's a hack like jeff gerstmann.

It depends on the reviewer. I generally like the Eurogamer reviewers but would never trust a review from Dan Whitehead. I liked the guys at 1up as well since I knew their tastes but they are gone. Jeremy Parish in particular is superb since he had similar tastes to me and I knew that I'd probably like the same stuff he did. He'll be at USGamer come June when the site launches.

If you can't find a reviewers you trust the best barometer is to play it and make up your own mind
