it's a combination of a lot of things.
obviously the games media will be docking points for "last gen gameplay, i already played this, i don't understand what it's trying to be" bullshit but hey, what are we gonna do? gta has always been largely the same and gunplay is still clunky but it's such a perfect 10 hurr durr.
i can live with the games media reviews because that's their opinions. what i don't like is that they influence purchasing decisions and power of consumers.

I'm waiting for NECA or Slideshow Collectibles to announce a deal with Sony/RAD due to all these great props. Not likely, but one can dream.

When are the reviews expected? I hope they are not after the release.
I just want the game to be 12-16 hours on hard difficulty and I am in. Love what I have seen so far. I know game will be bashed for a lot of silly things, but as long it is a solid TPS with a good to great story, I don't care about any other stuff.
I believe with this game's visuals, they have achieved CG level graphics in-game. Its simply gorgeous.

Awesome.
I honestly feel the stronger social media grows the less we get to actually see their real opinions and the more we see of what they think gamers want to hear as well as what is trending. Obviously this doesn't apply to all reviewers and even some may not be aware they are doing it but I do think plenty are worried to go against the popular public perception of a game. It is just speculation but I cant help but feel like many just go with the tide and when a game is looking good in the eyes of gamers it affects the reviews to various different degrees.
I would have shot both his hands :3

Seriously, apart from me agreeing with your quote, I'm here just to say, your avatar has the most delicious implementation of a curly moustache in this thread. I think you should consider keeping it.
On topic, this bullshit about "next gen gameplay" "last gen gameplay" has me really bothered. Instead of finding real things to critique a game on, this bullshit just feels so arbitrary and lazy on reviewers part. It's bullshit because it's really the reviewer projecting what they want the game to be, instead of them critiquing what's there.
So to further your point, GTA gets a pass but others don't because they don't fit the mould of what others think a game should be.
Why can't we just enjoy the really good examples of each genre and sub genre instead of just wanting every game to be the same.

Pull the camera out further would make it better? What why? You press triangle to drink blackwater when you are down ingame as well... It keeps it consistent.
Amazing.

I bit the bullet and preordered from Amazon so I can just come home from work Friday night and play away. Still have a bunch of Amazon gift card balance so maybe blood borne next.

I think you've been fooled by the older anatomy art in your biology classes and/or putting your hand on the left side of your body
Human hearts are generally more centered, though they can be a little off to either side depending on the person. However, they were still pretty much in a vital area near lung and major arterial pathways.
They'll probably be the 18th or 19th.

Not sure, I think the embargo is release day. The reviews will probably be so polarizing for this game.

If u actually watched all the gameplay potion then no point in worrying about it.
People must be really be bad at pressing buttons on command. I mean I've never had a problem outside of RE4 and Heavenly Sword.
Its also funny how mere seconds out of a game spanning hours and hours, just ruins it for some people. I get it, but sometimes when I think about it just seems odd at times.
They want to show Galahad in a camera position that's not part of his core moveset and throw a triangle up to take blackwater. Yeah it could have been a cutscene, they could have deleted the scene and just had the camera behind him, with him slumped over, with the screen flashing red. I get that some prefer one over the other, but its also like one button press and its over. just doesn't seem like that big a deal or obstacle to overcome.

I think it is part of lungs. Close to heart, but is left lung. Direct hit in heart means instant death.

They should have show the story trailer .... but I can see how the gore would be off putting during the SB.
There's no way they could air it. They would have to cut out all the gory bits and a two and a half minute trailer during the Super Bowl would be expensive as hell.
You would die quickly, but definitely not instantly.

Does silver have an effect on werewolves in werewolf lore? I'm imagining a gun that fires silver stakes impaling things.
I'm really excited to see what crazy weapons are in the game that we haven't seen yet. They've been very careful about what they've shown so I expect a couple of Tesla's Toys to be saved for release.

Hey, maybe Vampire's have larger hearts that grow out to the side a bit to process all the extra blood? What if they have two hearts, like the Doctor?? Haha, it's likely just another Hollywood thing and possibly to not injure the actors with hits straight to the chest.I've just watched lots of Buffy and she always stakes the vamps on the left side

They just appear to be skins.

Allright, thank you!
Oh? So these are just skins and not exclusive weapons?
Yep, that's the lightning gun on top and the Thermite rifle on the bottom. Both of those are already in the base game.

Just to be sure... this one is the same bonus as the digital pre-order, right?
What's with the snot?
That's correct!

Thanks again! I think I will pre-order this. Besides being only skins, I really liked them. And besides I didnt like some Eurogamer critics (such as the oversued QTE and the stealth insta-fail sections) these last gameplay leaks are really hyping me up again. Also, the shooting seems good and extremely satisfying... I hope not be wrong.

Nice! I was worried I'd miss out on exclusive weapons. I'd much rather get just the game for $60AU over $94AU with some useless skins.

Digital pre order has a bonus that I wont even get in the premium edition. It comes with an exclusive airship dynamic theme..... I am not happy about this as I wanted the artbook and blackwater vial that come with the premium....
It's to avoid the sternum while the size of the instrument and angle of the staking is what damages the heart and ultimately destroys the target.
lololol made up bullshit on the spot
Hey peeps, just to flag up the ARG thread for The Order:

The lightning gun has red lightning instead of the standard blue and I'm sure the rifle has a change such as that as well. Other than that there's no change.
