Cannot wait to see the reviews, should either make this thread hilarious or a dumpster fire. maybe both!
In complete honesty haven't preordered since im waiting for these reviews. If performance isn't great willwait for the pc release.

Awesome, the Kung Pow gifs are coming out. Even if this thread goes poorly at least we will have this moment to look back on fondly.

Journey got a 93 on Opencritic, so it being short on gameplay and emphasizing the feels won't necessarily mean a bad score.

I'm thinking somewhere in the 70s. Too many reviewers and industry folk hyping this embargo up unlike anything I've seen before. They know opinions are going to vary drastically.

91 here. Cant wait to wake up and see the destruction. And to see how reviewers react to whatever the game actually is.

Which is more impactful and official, metacritic or opencritic? AFAIK, opencrtic is more lenient has higehr scores than metacritic.

Well, Journey won GAF GOTY too, so I guess I'm making the larger point that games that are basically walking sims can get adulation, as long as emotion trumps desire for actual gameplay.

The point is really that critics aren't necessarily as conventional as one might assume.

To be fair, there shouldn't be many surprises. Kojima-San is one of the best game directors working today, be excited.

Expecting it to be a good but not great game, going by the gameplay we've seen. Saved by a good story.

I didn't even know he that he is working in Sony building to start with. :p
It seems Sony provided him with everything. really great from them.
Yeah, the Kojima Productions offices are located in the Shinagawa Season Terrace which is across the street from Sony's (old) global headquarters. It's really cool. KojiPro is on the 12th floor. You can visit and see the awards they've gotten (up until the entrance). There's even a LUDENS statue in the lobby for everyone to gawk at as they pass by.
