What big publications are we waiting on now? Just GB? It would be pretty cool if it gets to 95.
As a technical achievement, the single shot is mind-bending, a never-ending "how did they pull this off?" Open-world sequences seamlessly transition into cinematic showdowns into lengthy trips in the canoe — without a stutter. Because the game can't cut away, or skip ahead in time or space, you must follow Kratos on every step from one location to the next. As a result of the decision, the world is big and condensed all at the same time. There's a lot to see, but God of War's designers have been creative in how they minimize backtracking. Generally, you can see where you're going or from where you came, as paths through castles and cliffsides have you doubling back, creating shortcuts or secret passages back to the main route. (You eventually gain access to a tool that makes travel simpler and faster, all without breaking the game's single long camera take. It's neat.
"I wanted to do [the single shot camera technique] and I had pitched it to Crystal Dynamics when I was there working on Tomb Raider and everyone was like, 'That's crazy, we don't want to do that!'" he told the website. "And, my reaction was like, 'Yeah, y'know, I don't know if this is the best place for me anyway.'"
inb4 Dan trolls the living fuck out of all of us and gives it 4/5.
On launch day, I will have both ;)
GB and Edge. But Horizon ZD has 115 reviews I expect God of War to reach that count post release.What big publications are we waiting on now? Just GB? It would be pretty cool if it gets to 95.
But isn't IGN Japan just the US review? It's not a standalone?

Nope. They just quoted the IGN US review and the video. They don't have a review up yet.
I expect like 15-25 more reviews before it's done. Edge and Giant Bomb are the biggest publications we're waiting for. The 95 mostly depends on them.

I actually thought it showed a lot of footage I hadn't seen yet so I would steer clear if you're trying to avoid spoiler
Wait a minute.
Well there are both registered at Metacritic so I don't see why not.
Wow, to think that God of War could reach the lofty heights of Portal 2 and MGSV.
Sony will cancel the game just to watch the world burn.What happens if it hits 95%? Does everyone orgasm at the same time globally? Should I plan to have a change of underwear on hand? I am scared.
Then we wait for the next 8/10 review, just to get excuse to create another 20 pages and post angry gifs.
Sorry I don't believe you.
Your avatar stands out and I've seen you be negative about this game for weeks
Is the PS4 right side purposely made to look like a move controller?Hmm, don't have a PS4 yet, will need one for Spider-Man. Might as well get one now for this game since reviews are great.
Should I pull the trigger on the GoW bundle now? Saving money is nice, but having this color PS4 could get obnoxious quickly.
There still around 30 reviews incoming.It's crazy how the lowest score is an 8. Even Uncharted 4 had a 4/10 lol
Thanks
Black magic being Nintendo and Rockstar name attached to it.It is like European champions league, you can play good football to reach semi-finals but some luck to win it.
You can try hard to make a game to be 90+, but you need some black magic to be 95+......
