EmpireOnline: 5/5
This and Man of Steel on the same day is insane :bowdown:
:eek: Pre-ordered!!
Only just started getting into the hype.
I watched a video of someone playing through the demo, and I was simply amazing. Looked genuinely terrifying. No games really hit on making zombies scary, but this game has got it down pat, the way a group of them will run at you is insane.
Not much of a gamer anymore, but this really impressed me, I'll definitely be checking it out.
My only issue is this, it's from the team that made Uncharted 3, and that game looked amazing, but wasn't because it gave you no freedom to do anything. I've been told (by people who played a demo) it is not the case with this game so I have fingers crossed.

You're misinformed.
This game was created by Team B, which developed Uncharted 2.
It took them 2 years to develop Uncharted 2, and 3 years to develop The Last Of Us.
[I]"According to USA Today, back in 2008, Neil Druckmann had an idea for a graphic novel about a father-daughter zombie tale. He and game director Bruce Straley saw the cordyceps fungus segment from the BBC/Discovery channel series Planet Earth, in which then turned into a major source of inspiration for The Last of Us's primary plot. Both were working on Uncharted 2 at the time. After the development of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves finished, some team members of Naughty Dog moved on to The Last of Us while the others moved on to start on Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. The game has been in development for over two years."[/I]
Plus it is a completely different IP, why would you have no freedom in TLOU?
Completely different genre...

25/49 with perfect scores so far.
4/49 below 90.
In comparison, the game with the most perfect scores (Uncharted 2) for this current gen console had 39/105 perfect reviews. :eek:
96.70% so far on gamerankings
96 on metacritics (38 reviews)
WOW
This is as genuinely excited for a new game IP as I can remember probably since I saw the original Legend of Zelda came in a gold box, and you could save your progress right on the cartridge.
I've loved other new IPs in recent years, Batman, Dead Space, but I've always stumbled into them, bought them after the initial wave. Even the first Uncharted had already been out a year before I bought it.
I do understand Niko's statement (which is a pretty tepid expression of concern by the way). This game is being presented as a true open world experience, but so far the footage we've seen looks as impressive as Uncharted, if not more so, and the reason Uncharted could pull that off is by locking the camera in place for those incredible set pieces, which just isn't the nature of a true open world experience. If it's more limitedly open, like Uncharted, which is open within it's individual levels to a degree, but even then there's only one way to go, albeit possible multiple ways to approach a conflict.
Either way, I'm super pumped.

Online is getting solid reviews now, ticking it's way back to a pre-order.
I'm kinda shocked it is, because those "screen shots" or whatever looked kinda rough.

The story
Something that I'm noticing about the "negative" reviews (polygon's [I]lowly[/I] 7.5 is that if you like shooters you won't like this game. :rolleyes: And some people are complaining about the mechanics being weird.
Although the absolute insanity going on, on gamespot right now is ridiculous. :oldlol:
