I remember you talking about this with DS and I knew you'd win.
Thank you, thank you. I am the review score guru after all.

For load times, NVME drives don't make much difference at all. So sadly this will be a problem everyone faces until it gets patched =(
It's getting frustrating seeing so many games ship with performance issues these days. I've never been a pre-order guy (refuse to reward scummy tactics like that) but I've always been happy to buy on day one if reviews are good. But these days performance issues are so common, and game prices drop so quickly, that buying day one feels like paying extra to be part of the QA team. And I don't think anything can be done to fix this now that we're all connected to the internet and patches are considered normal. It's just a symptom of Parkinson's Law:
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.
Patches have simply redefined a game's completion date. Delays likely wouldn't change a thing where performance is considered. That extra time would be allotted to other tasks instead.
Crossposting regarding the load times on PC:
Okay, I was streaming when I got these very long loading times.
Now I tested it again, upon death, respawning took me only 9s. Crisis averted.
This portion of the EuroGamer review has made me hold off for the moment:
from videos this game reminds me so much of the new tomb raider games, i wonder if there are also useless things you collect every couple meters like in those games. reviews are good though, definitely will get this next year on a sale. i wish dismemberment was in though.
I wonder what will end up ahead, Star Wars or Death Stranding?

20 hours seems to be the averageMan oh man, maybe I should pick this up today. I was first planning on playing Torchlight II after Days Gone, but now I'm doubting myself. I got a bit worried from the review saying it was only 6-10 hours long, but seems that reviewer just beelined through the main story.
Also, watching the Giant Bomb quicklook, it's really disappointing to hear the performance is all over the place (even on performance mode on PS4 Pro).
Didn't they say they didn't wanted to review it? 🤔It may end up decided by if edge reviews death stranding or not :) They have a high impact on metacritic and they hated death stranding.
My review at Ars, no score/number:
Edge will not review death stranding apparently.It may end up decided by if edge reviews death stranding or not :) They have a high impact on metacritic and they hated death stranding.
So I am playing on PC, game is installed on an SSD. Upon death, the respawn time is very, very long. I haven't measured it, but it could be over a minute.
Edit: Measured it, 55s.
Edge will not review death stranding apparently.
Great score. I m assuming we will end around 83 to 88
Why won't they review it?Edge will not review death stranding apparently.

There are minimum 60 More reviews are yet to come . We ll see. It could even go to 81 like ffxv . It started 88 and ended at 81Based on where it is currently, wouldn't 83 be a big drop? I don't know how it works.
The reviewer didn't like it and said will take a long time to finish it and then he won't even score it .
They hated it and didn't want to finish it, and finishing it is prerequisite to being able to review it according to Sony.

I'm playing through it on PC with the Origin Premier subscription but the game length has me worried and a little disappointed to be honest.
I absolutely love the game myself but it definitely has a host of issues. I should have a video up fairly soon.
Either way, I still think it's the best Star Wars game since Republic Commando.
I don't normally complain about game length, but ireally wanted this to be like 20-30 hours. I'm still tempted to pick it up though
Coming from the 57 hours I put into Death Stranding, 12-15 hours seems a little short.

Not even a debate. SW might go above 86 easily while DS has no hope getting over current 85.I wonder what will end up ahead, Star Wars or Death Stranding?
How long is this game? I wanna buy it digital but only if it's 30-40 hours or more and will have dlc expansions? I normally only buy digital games if they offer longevity.
No sith powers/sabersRegarding the saber customisation. Are there any crossguard hilts like Kylos? Or unstable blades?
Oh, the music in Jedi isn't THAT good...RC was superb.Republic Commando is oe of best Star Wars games ever made. I know they are completely different types of games but how does the music compare between the two? RC had excellent music.
I would be shocked to find out this single player star wars game was 40 hours long.How long is this game? I wanna buy it digital but only if it's 30-40 hours or more and will have dlc expansions? I normally only buy digital games if they offer longevity.
