any Day 0 Reviews?

Post by N4N » Fri, 15. Nov 13, 10:13

Im really curious about how the media will approach this title, considering how bad treatment previous games had.
I understand that for a reviewer who test few games a week, to grab a game like X, its very difficult to dig all the gold out of it, but I also find it unfair they judged the previous games just from the cover or from the first few minutes.....
Anyway, any review so far? or still under NDA?

The closest I've seen are Youtube reviews of the Gamescom demo.

Right, and those are pretty much pointless since it's only the combat portion that was shown there.

@OP:
Just be patient, you can expect reviews to get out once the game is actually released... which would be in about 75mins if all goes well.

I hope TotalBiscuit and Nerd³ will do a video of it, that surely will raise awareness, if the Steam top 10 sellers isn't enough yet.

Also, I do believe the major reviewers were given a review code so they can prepare a review for later today.

No, they usually do that when it's just released, like within the hour. Most likely because of a review embargo, which, if a game sucks after all, pre-orders would be cancelled prior to release and hurt sales, making it less likely for improvements.

A person who has a review copy posted on the SomethingAwful forums that the review copy won't unlock until release date. Take that with a grain of salt, but SA usually gets these things right.
