Maybe I'm not very good at reading, but that gameplay blurb tells me fuck all about how the game plays.
Shame I live in Argentina, where price drops in the civilized world means that local prices will actually go up.Wait till after E3. Rumours are they're going to announce a price drop.

While I completely agree personal tastes should be respected Polygon's reviews have been so far off from 99% of other reviews and people's impressions something seems off.
out of the 56 reviews listed on MC 48% of them are perfect scores. 76% of the total scores are 95% or higher.
Perfect Scores = 27
98-95% = 16
90% = 9
85-80% = 3
75% = 1
Thats what i think of that sessler guy, in his bioshock infinite review he spends most of the time saying fancy words about the game, about religion and politics and all that crap, and how that makes it an awesome game, like if it was a painting or something... and of course most people love that thing it makes the game feel important, but i think that kind of reviews just suck. Pls someone post a quote of his review, its just hilarious how much time he spends talking about how beautiful and how artistic the game is... Who cares about that.
Hmmmm what's an outlier?

i thought this game was uncharted with zombies (aka another hand holding "cinematic" bore), so i didnt cared about it, but the scores are crazy! the highest rated current gen game?
it sounds more like a RE/SH type of adventure, i wondered why the great scores?
I just want a true and good Walking Dead like experience and it look like I'll finally get that with this game (Telltale's TWD interactive comic has bad storytelling and zero gameplay and TWD Survival Instinct was completely broken)

Sometimes, though, that can make the game.
There are countless situations in which a gamer is enjoying a game because of a certain factor that interests them outside of what the core game is. (I touched on this in the girl rescuing thread).
I put 40 hours into Aliens: Colonial Marines because I've fucking loved that movie my whole life. I was able to look over the bland graphics and story just knowing I'm in recreated areas from the movie surrounded by the same sound effects. I felt like I was visiting a place from my child hood.
So, Sessler could be an appreciator of art - and he appreciates how artistic the game is. That is a completely valid reason for his score, and he explained that. He did his job as a reviewer.
We aren't robots, all expecting to like the same things for the same reason. A bad review is if the score isn't justified through explanation.
I'm not complaining. I just find it interesting. When was the last time a AAA game came out in the U.S. on a Friday for XBox and/or PS3?
Here in Taiwan, we get a free steelbook edition along with a T-shirt.

Really?In this sample it would be Polygon.
I really miss getting T-shirts for pre-ordering games. I dont get why that stopped. People get something they will actually use and the devs get free publicity for their games.
I bought the season pass and it does download a 100kb file that is the bonus day 1 upgrade for the single player but you can cancel the download or go in your game data utility section and delete the file once you've downloaded it.I wanna buy the season pass but I don't want the cheats that come with it. Does someone know if the pass automatically unleashes the cheats? that would suck...
I haven't looked at reviews seriously since I was in high school, but I admit, when I see a traditionally harsh, overly-critical, nitpicky publication like Edge or Eurogamer give a game a 10/10, I have to say my ears do perk up.
One of the things that I've seen in this thread that I do find disconcerting, is the amount of people that were like, "I had no interest in this game, but the scores and reviews have me sold!"
I find that type of thinking dangerous for the industry as a whole. I buy games because I'm interested in them. If they review well, ok, that's nice, but at the end of the day, my enjoyment of the game is what matters the most. The Call of Duty and Gears of War games consistently review well, but I'm simply not interested in those series, despite what reviews are telling me (that the games are awesome and I should love them).
On a side note, some of my favorite games haven't reviewed very well at all (Second Sight, Shadow of Destiny, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, etc), and had I looked at reviews as my metric for buying them, I'd have missed out on some great games.
In my opinion, if The Last of Us didn't interest you by this point, I just can't see how a bunch of 10's would change your mind. The game is still the same game we saw when it was revealed. If the premise didn't grab you then, why would it grab you now? To me, this seems like a recipe for disappointment. Then we'll get a bunch of "Man, gaf hype failed me again!" posts in the future.
This isn't an accusation or a criticism, just an observation. Yes, hype is in full swing, but if The Last of Us wasn't your thing for the past year since its reveal, I just can't see how that would change. At the least, maybe try and play it before you rush out and spend $60+ (or whatever your country's currency is) on a game based purely on how excited a large portion of gaf gets for it.
My god, I'd have thousands of games if I bought them based purely on early hype.
What I want to say is this is the best written game I've ever played, the game with the best central performances I've ever seen. I want to say that, even if you've been playing videogames for your whole life, for 20, 30 or even 40 years, The Last of Us has the most astounding action sequences you'll have ever come across. I want to use the word "ever" a lot.
Mother of... those scores. Hoping it comes to PC at some point.
Is this gonna be on Steam?
It seems to be the norm here.
During the Last of Us I had to stop playing in order for myself to fully
comprehend the existence of something so perfect.
You sure? Someone posted a PS Store screen that mentioned 35GB
Dunno if it's relevant, but I scored it 5/5 too. 97/100 for print version, though.
http://www.edge-online.com/review/the-last-of-us-review/While this is not an open-world game in the textbook sense, it feels remarkably dense for employing such spacious environments. A typical slice of unbroken space might incorporate a street, several alleys and a variety of multistorey shops or dwellings. This approach to level design gracefully serves the games narrative context: when an apocalyptic event knocks out the structured routine of law-abiding society, youd expect there to be more latitude in your decision-making.
The world of The Last Of Us is big enough to get lost in, and without the aid of a minimap, we did on several occasions. Whereas Uncharted often felt like walking down a scenic but clearly delineated hiking trail, The Last Of Us prizes deep, meaningful exploration
No game is universally loved. Reviews should be expected to reflect the gamut of human opinion, instead of conforming to some single score based on a reviewing hivemind.
I never got shirts from pre-orders when I lived in Taipei, though they probably wouldn't have fit anyway.
But usually the Asian versions of PS3 games are the best, multi-language options FTW.
I predicted a 96 on metacritic a couple of days ago ats self on back:
i do. i care about that.
gameplay is second for me. you can't just assume that everyone games for gameplay. (ha!)
whatever's interesting and fun for that individual person, he can enjoy for that part - and that part alone
and just because -you (not you specifically) - think that games should be played for gameplay, doesn't mean - i (again, not me Sp) - can't enjoy the game emphasizing a different element.
