I agree. The game is an amazing experience. if they are concerned about Yoko Taro's Yoko Taro putting major reviewing organizations off, i think that's doing a disservice to his project.

Bloodworth from EZA said the PR guys at SE didn't get many review copies to hand out.
Square offered an exclusive marketing deal with Sony to mitigate their risk. Information on the PC version will likely come out on the 7th or 8th when that contract expires.
IGN Japan has been pretty harsh compared to stuff like famitsu. They gave some relatively low scores on games that got really high scores on famitsu (like Yakuza 6, FFXV or even summer lesson). Their FFXV review score is also lower than IGN US.
No doubt. I have so much to play my head is spinning and more is on the way.

I never care about review threads, but this is a rare exception. Screw the early 70/80 predictions. I'm expecting Bayo 2 levels of greatness here.
That itself is a bad sign. Many reviewers likely won't know what to do or how to complete things and dock points just for that. I was kind of hoping SE had already given advance notice on what to do to for reviewers to get the most out of the game, but if they didnt even give out many review copies...

I am 100% buying this game for PC.
Still own NieR on PS3 even though I sold my PC. SE, please port that game to PC!

We already have confirmation though that there are specific instructions in the review guide to keep going as well as in game it lets the player know.
I think you guys are jumping the gun a little too much right now. Let's all take a deep breath haha
no way it ends up as high as Bayo 2.

... I had a Review Thread completely ready and claimed in the OT, so I'd be lying if I wasn't a bit sad to see it's been made already.
Since it's already up now though, feel free to use the banner image & IGN Japan quote below.
At least the game is doing well.

Yes, but the review copy itself only goes out to limited publications apparently, which means many other reviewers who don't have those instructions are going to be in the dark

Holy shit. It's like the quality of games is inversely proportional with the state of the world.
We're living in the most turbulent, terrible times (in the states specifically), but the games are So. Fucking. Good.
And we've still got Persona 5 creeping its way in our direction.
Why would the demo put one off? It's excellent.

That's true but in-game too there are pretty clear instructions as well.

Yep. This. I don't see it staying that high for long.

not trying to derail but I feel it will be Mass Effect
Bomberman and 1 2 Switch?

Its release date is just really unfortunate, but I can only assume it had to be out this fiscal quarter, and whether it launches at the start of March of the end of it isn't going to be a huge amount of difference. Glad to see its reviewing well either way. I hope people will remember Automata exists during some release schedule droughts. Even in a packed year like this, it's certainly still a game of the year candidate.

For sure. I wish they would just say that themselves I guess. PC information coming this day, reviews incoming this day, etc. Just seems like unneeded confusion for people waiting on that information

I think they mean like the 'big' game in gaming circles, since everything from Zelda to Resident Evil 7 to Horizon to Yakuza to Nioh to Gravity Rush 2 and such have been critical darlings, and even things like Tales of Berseria did pretty modestly.
Hmm... Mass Effect perhaps?
Someone put Andromeda into protective custody lol. Not saying it's going to be bad, but it's a prime candidate for a witch hunt if it is bad
should have just launched it the same time as japan. don't see any other reason not to other than maybe the PC version wasn't ready.
I didn't want to say it, so I lured everyone into saying it for me. I don't even think it will be bad, but if it comes in at like 8 level, people will treat it like a 5 or a 6, because who can justify dozens of hours on anything less than greatness right now?
Hot damn. Spent most of my savings on a KS7000 (EU) og i haven't bought Horizon, Nier, Nioh, TLG, Torment, a switch with Zelda, etc etc.
I'm gonna be that guy who's hosting a party at a sweet venue and forgot to invite guests. And buy Beer. Gawd.
I guess i can give Uncharted another spin...

Andromeda seems like its pretty inoffensive on quality, so I'd expect about a mid-high 80s score.

You could add a ton more, but that would probably break the site.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Sounds like an embargo until release date which is March 7.

My heart can't take all of the awesome. Nier is still my way-too-early GOTY pick, but between it, Zelda, Persona, Horizon, RE7, and Mass Effect coming by mid-April, there's going to be some stiff competition in my eyes.
