I won't be reading the review with a quote like that. The score is negligible. I'm sure that's the score the guy thinks the game deserves so there's no point in talking about it, that quote though is laughable.

Combat and platforming are the least interesting parts of Remember Me, and they're what you'll be doing most. Though Neo-Paris is unforgettable, your journey through it isn't.

I hope your confidence and will to not question the game before its released pays off.
Arthur Gies mentioned on his twitter that embargo deadlines for this game are by territory. funny.

Awful because the review doesn't validate your preconceptions or because you think IGN writers write objectively poor reviews? I imagine your post would have been missing the latter part had the game gotten 8-10.
Kia ora!
It's going to make the thread a pain in the ass to update. Why can't it just be a specific time?

Lack of exploration, dull combat and platforming are a real bummer. The memory remix mechanic seems like a neat idea, I wonder why they would only use it 4 times.
Guess I'll wait for a sale.

Well, shit.
IGN's writer is from the UK.
Apparently there are only four of the memory remix segments though. :/
That is the most interesting part to me as I loved Ghost Trick.

At least the Memory Remixes are getting a positive reaction, seeing as this was the part that got me to consider the game and Ghost Trick was an awesome game. Just a shame they barely happen.

I'm not giving up on it based on one review score, even though that 5.9 will be the one everyone talks about ignoring any positive ones.

Low key, non moneyhatted EA or super innovative CoD game gets a low score from IGN? Shocking! But sad that it will actually influence people to not try it =(

Pretty much as expected so far. Nonsensical dismissal by IGN seems par for the course.
The problems that IGN reviewer had with the game were in other reviews, and those problems were weighed differently when it came to scoring.

Don't have the money to drop inmediatly in a mediocre uncharted esque game.

I'm surprised there aren't that many reviews right out of the gate.
I'll have no problem trying this game when it drops in price. It still seems conceptually interesting.
Really, his sentiments on Weekend Confirmed contrasted this, although he was not finished with it.

Have we heard anything about length?! I'm assuming it's like 5-8 hours, but I'm hoping for more!

Not surprised. Gameplay videos looked atrocious.
Low score from IGN = "No money hat AH HA what a shit site"
High Score from IGN = "Money hat AH HA what a shit site'
Readers and consumers should base their opinion on the reviews themselves and what they do critique and fail to critique. The Remember IGN review decently does that, yet some are being completely dismissive because of other IGN reviews being written poorly.

Here's another review from International Business Times
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...rememberme-review-dontnod-capcom-ps3-xbox.htm
Scores:
Gameplay: 7/10 - Functional but very familiar combat and limited interaction with the world around you is helped out by the combo customisation and the great Memory Remixing sequences.
Sound: 8/10 - The competent voice acting struggles against bad dialogue, but Olivier Deriviere's score is tremendous.
Graphics: 7/10 - Remember Me is a beautiful looking game no doubt, but it's all a facade and the pristine world never comes alive.
Writing: 4/10 - A real stumbling block. When Remember Me's plot isn't ticking the box of every character and plot structure cliche, the dialogue is clunky often gigglesome stuff.
Replay value: 6/10 - Remember Me is unashamedly and purposefully linear, but there are few optional areas to explore and hidden trinkets to pick up.
Overall: 7/10 - A perfectly solid, good looking action adventure that totally bungles the script but has a few smart ideas.

Okay! Let me just mark that down.
On topic, that IGN review reads very awkwardly. I may buy first week depending on feedback from GAF.

I like this review format, especially the separate, specific category for writing. Never really heard of International Business Times before. I'm gonna check out their reviews from now on.

Sounds like sale fodder. Definitely not the kind of game that warrants a $60 price tag.
With only 4 memory remixes in the entire game (apparently) that seems like such a missed opportunity.
And for such a creative locale, it's a shame that exploration isn't a focus.
