[Azzanadra]

Man I am so ready! Especially with these impressions!

Screw you haters and doubters!

 

[TimeEffect]

This will stick with me forever.

We need a number value to get hyped

What do u think the MC will be?

 

[B33]

This will stick with me forever.

Glorious.

The game is preloaded and I am ready.

 

[Shin-chan]

Maaaan I just watched the PSX trailer and now the wait until I go home for Christmas is going to be unbearable!

I'm tempted to run out and buy a used PS4 and the game here, just to play through it finally.

 

[Servbot24]

I'm gonna be optimistic and say 87.

 

[hughesta]

Gonna guess 88. Feelin' way too optimistic. Don't think it'll drop to the 70s but low 80s is definitely the most likely.

 

[DancingCactus77]

For those who have played, how much dialogue is in the game. Thinking about importing for the Jap version. Thanks!

 

[B33]

I have a question for those who have completed it and I'm not looking for an elaborate answer, just a "yes" or "no."

Spoiler

Is it explained why there are multiple Trico creatures (as seen st the end of the E3 2016 trailer)?

 

[Jedi2016]

It uses a fictitious language, so it doesn't matter what version you get unless you're that hung up on what language subtitles are printed in.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

They speak in gibberish so you're gonna to read a lot of text

Good. This is one of those games that I want to feel like a mystical artifact. English dubs bring some games down to earth in an awkward way.

 

[Y2Kev]

Some earlier game or non-spoilery shots I like. I took a TON. The game is simply stunning. The art direction is peerless.

Sorry for shitty 4k capture compression crap. you get the idea

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't review well. But now I don't care since I've already finished it!

 

[Servbot24]

Looks like a PS1 game to me. /s


My god I am so excited for this. Takes a lot to make me stop FFXV midway through, but this will do that easily

First one looks like concept art

And the eyes in the second!

 

[B33]

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but which console did you use to play it, Y2Kev: PS4 Standard/Slim or Pro?

 

[jjonez18]

ETA till official reviews drop?

 

[HStallion]

ETA till official reviews drop?

Tomorrow morning 10am Eastern US time.

 

[Jawbreaker]

ETA till official reviews drop?

A little under 12 hours before a bunch of people eat

[dreamfall]

So much hype y'all. I can't believe we made it!

 

[Megalosaro]

My roommate has been playing all day.

"Playing this game furthers my understanding that games can be art."

Is what I heard from him.

 

[Y2Kev]

PS pro

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Trico in those shots.

lol

I won't lie, I feel 10s and 9s incoming.

 

[gogojira]

Well, impressions sound great. I almost bit on FFXV but glad I held out a bit longer. Only buying one at the moment, and it looks like TLG is going to win out. I tried to find the damn game earlier, but no luck in my area.

 

[Ostinatto]

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but which console did you use to play it, Y2Kev: PS4 Standard/Slim or Pro?

Hes playing on PS4 Pro.

 

[gogojira]

Hopefully PS4 OG doesn't suffer too badly with performance.

 

[NYmanutd]

Wow I cant believe that i'm gonna be playing this masterpiece in less than a day.

 

[bigjig]

If Simon Parkin thinks it's GOTY material I'm in hype overload. Dude has good taste in games

 

[Grisby]

Finally. I will finally get to play this on Tuesday.

Still remember, to the day, where I was and what I was doing when I saw the leaked footage thread. Everyone was like whhhaaatt that looks fake, and others were like whhhaaatt that looks real.

And I was left feeling that I just wanted to watch Miller's Crossing again

So much hype y'all. I can't believe we made it!

It'sbeen84years.gif

 

[TimeEffect]

So worried about the technical issues. I can handle SoTC level problems. I'd hope it's not that bad but I can handle it

But I wonder, how will this be reviewed if the pro/vanilla version is so different?

 

[silva1991]

Wow Kev, I almost mistook the first pic with concept art.

If Simon Parkin thinks it's GOTY material I'm in hype overload. Dude has good taste in games

Bloodborne was his GOTY last year and he gave Witcher 3 and MGS5 5/5

TLG will get 90+ metascore confirmed!!

Spoiler

nah I still think in the 80's and I don't care

 

[Boke1879]

If this game reviews well tomorrow I don't think this place will know what to do with itself.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

It's almost here! I'm debating whether or not to call in sick. If I start seeing a bunch of 9s/10s I don't know that I'll be able to stop myself. Too many hypes.

In related news my 2012 pre order for the PS3 version has yet to ship. Getting a little worried.

 

[Y2Kev]

I would think more 7 and 8. And 6 from polygon!

 

[Qvoth]

need more soundtrack impressions!
sotc ost was extremely high tier, it's the only thing i'm thinking will be somewhat lacking for this game

 

[pixellated_man]

It will review well. Low 80's most likely due to the technical shortcomings.
I would love it to rate even higher just to really irk those smug posters who were 'sure' this game would be a failure and all of us still excited for it were somehow deluded.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Did anyone else preorder the last guardian from best buy? Does your preorder dlc code work?

 

[Thaedolus]

My wife isn't a gamer...like, at all, but I'm thinking of asking her to sit down with me and play through this. I think she might get emotionally involved considering the protagonists. I just told her about how I bought I PS3 in 2009 to play it and now I'm finally getting to play it Tuesday and I'm giddy and she seemed intrigued

Those people are expecting Recore or No Man Sky scores. Low 80's alone will shut them up lol.

[More_Badass]

I think you guys are underestimating it. I'm saying 85-90

"This will stick with me forever"
"Playing this game furthers my understanding that games can be art"
"If ever there was a story to salve the wounds inflicted by this dark year, this is it"

On its own merits, it will probably shine

But in the context of a shitty fucked-up year, it might shine even more.

 

[pharmboy044]

I would think more 7 and 8. And 6 from polygon!

I'm sure we will see a 6 from Polygon as the person who had a negative preview is reviewing the game.

 

[VanCityGamer]

I would think more 7 and 8. And 6 from polygon!

Just curious...why do you think 7's and 8's considering you loved it so much? Tech issues? Unrealistic expectations? Niche game?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

PS pro

Any PS4 Pro features?

 

[gustave154]

I am expecting high 80s due to its technical shortcomings. But it will still be called a masterpiece

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Just saw this at toys r us tonight. Had no idea it doesn't officially come out till Tuesday. Damn I could have had it earlier than most ppl lol 😂

 

[silva1991]

I'm sure we will see a 6 from Polygon as the person who had a negative preview is reviewing the game.

Did they confirm that he will be reviewing it? he just reviewed FFXV.

6/10 incoming.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

In this day and age where reviewers are more critical, that's a pretty damn good score

 

[fluffydelusions]

EDIT: nm just saw

 

[Elfstruck]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't ICO and Shadow of Colossus had some technical hiccups as well? If this game is as good as some of you have said here, then maybe reviewers will dock a few points but not much.
