So when are the reviews coming out? I need to go to bed soon =/
Which ones?
The real ones or the ones that have agreed with SE's NDA?

You get 20$ in xbox points (1600ms) if you order it at microsoft's store for xbox.
Optimism vs pessimism, smh.Sigh...so much love from people who haven't even touched the game yet...smh

Come on. There are people who have decided, definitively, that the game will be the best game ever made, and there are people who think based on what they saw that the game will be a bad Tomb Raider game.
You see,it works both ways.

We did not agree with terms in the NDA provided by Square Enix, and therefore were not provided a copy of Tomb Raider ahead of release.
well, Nixxes gives me zero concerns about the quality of the port. they always do great work. I'm just waiting to see if the quality of the game itself is worth my time
Haha.Nice going Eidos,so much for that "confidence"!Gee i wonder what those terms in the NDA were...
33$ and change from Amazon broke me. I loved the last 4 games they made and I own all 3 Uncharted games so I'm in no place to judge. And I won like every other title they were clearly influenced by lol.
Come on. There are people that are hopeful the game will be good, and there are people who have decided, definitively, that the game will be one of the best this generation.
It seems that the people bitching about this want threads full of circle jerks. People popping in with one line posts saying, "Looks great! Can't wait!"

Any idea what the NDA demands?
I would think it was something trivial like not being able to reveal the game's story or something. And those guys probably didn't like that because they felt they needed to be able to reveal the game's story in order to properly review that. Something along those lines, I'm sure. We would be jumping to conclusions by saying they're actually trying to manipulate reviews like this. Until we know what's in that NDA, we shouldn't go around making accusations.
There's nothing worthy of suspicion in it.
Finally watched some of the videos, looks pretty ok when it's not holding your hand. Still too many on-rails, scripted, and hold forward automatic bits, cutscenes I'm still not feeling either (Lara's VA, ugh), but I like the general atmosphere and lighting a lot. I can't wait to see how many of the situations you can actually die in.
Fucking bokeh though man, I swear.
Ha.I am not interested even if this game is THE GREATEST THIRD PERSON SHOOTER IN HISTORY.
I am however interested if this game is a decent to great Tomb Raider game that respects where it came from. Will that be case? 30 mins to go.
Nice try to spin this Harlequin but i'm pretty sure people are intelligent enough to avoid story spoilers and still being able to write a review.
And i don't think they need SE to tell them that they shouldn't post story spoilers in a review.
I'm sure it will be more than obvious in a few hours what's in that NDA.
I've come to a careful deliberation after all this time and just before today breaks in.
Tricky is as looney as a tune.
I've asked one of the Square Europe (=Eidos) people on TRF about this. He's online right now so if he does know what was in that NDA and is allowed to talk about it, we'll probably have an answer soon. I'm not trying anything, BTW. I just think we shouldn't be jumping to groundless conclusions. Just because you've already decided you hate the game doesn't mean your arguments can defy logic or don't need proof.

How lon until reviews? 20 minutes?
already? Geez
No more good games allowed this gen. Gaf said so.
what time are the embargos lifting today?

Oh come on.Do you really think that a SE employee would ever admit that one of the terms for the reviewers to get an early copy is to give the game a score of 7-8 and above?
He would loose his job the next day.
The last time I remember gaming outlets refusing to review a game before launch due to disagreements with the NDA was MGS4. That game had some weird NDA restrictions too but I dont think they affected my thoughts on the game at all. TR might be the same way.
MGS4s review limitations were: "Install times, length of cutscenes (the ending in particular), number of environments, opening "movie", product placement and a half dozen story-specific items."
The games media eat so much AAA shit in terms of terrible game pacing, mechanics, etc. without batting an eye that I won't believe a single positive review for this one.
I can't wait to read the comments for the story. I'm expecting CD have made such an emotional , gripping tale that will have you in tears.
And then I'll laugh.
Pretty much. Like I said yesterday I don't expect most reviewers to even bring up most of the problems people had with this game, let alone echo them.
Tomb Raider to win GAF GotY 2013 and recount in 2017.TR to be as good as MGS4 confirmed.
