Surplus of NPC's? Come on now.

It's a negative that it takes time to master the game? Ok.

Feeling good about this...
When the score's 9.5 I get the feeling this is basically grasping at straws, possibly not even things the reviewer has a problem with but recognizes others might.

Those negatives are like two additional positives to me.
According to the video:
Once in a generation type of game.
Game of the year caliber.
Not really. Random parts shown in the video.

Yeah those seem like positives to me too.
Slow burner eh? Doesn't seem like a 4 hour game to me.
Indeed, it's reassuring to here that term being used. The game will be killer.

I haven't been following the game closely but I was always interested. Looks incredible.
This, pretty much. Very excited for this game, some 4chan player playing on casual be damned.
No one is upset about those points and are glad that the review is so positive. I think it's fair to point out that the negative points against the game seem pretty stupid the same way it's fair to point out people are "bitching" about them. What's funny is most people (The same people this game is targeted at -- fans of immersive sims/FPS RPG hybrids) see those negative points as major pluses.

I kind of regret getting XCOM over this now, not that I think XCOM is going to be bad or worse, or anything short of amazing really, but it's pretty clear this is what everyone is going to be talking about for the next month.
I'm not trying to bitch, I think it's hilarious (and somewhat sad) to see that pretty much the only bad thing they could think to say about the game is that there are a lot of systems to be learned throughout the game, which to most people on this forum is something we look for in a game.

All positives for me, that is reassuring. Can't wait much longer!
Like I said it's probably just something he recognizes could be a problem with people, not a TRUE con like "controls are sluggish crap" or something would be.

This isn't an early review, is it? Either way, dude articulated his points pretty well.

Loads of NPCs? That's a good thing in my books.
Learned helplessness due to the way this gen has placed a higher value on polish over ingenuity.

Video review goes on youtube before the embargo lifts and without the main site having the full review? Someone forgot to switch that privacy option while uploading the video, methinks...

Will definitely be buying this, it looks awesome. Nice to see it scored quite well even though it's only the first review, i don't want this to end up like Rage did. I would of liked to hear about how long the game is or if there are any sort of bonus objectives, collectables etc though.
9.5 is the new 6.
Yeah, it makes for a cohesive more immersive world, don't know what that dude is thinking honestly or what he wants, 4 or 5 NPCs and thats it?

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
I think this footage finally sold me on the game. Pre-ordered.

Surely it depends how the NPCs are used. Borderlands had a ton of them, and none of them did anything
Oh... they said there's too many NPCs.. ANGER! RAAGE! HOW DARE THEY! They just played it wrong!
it's ironic that your reaction is way more over the top than the reactions of the people you're trying to parody
