Err, they have said that a patch is in the works for the missing camp members days ago and it’s reported on quite a lot of websites.

This is really annoying. I’m into chapter 2 a fair bit, can only play about an hour and a half a day and really don’t want to start the game all over. I think I’ll just leave the game for now and hope for a patch to arrive somewhere next week.

99% of reviewers don’t know shit. All these early write-ups by the usual suspects just tick off some boxes that apparently come with Rockstar/open-world games. The actual insightful stuff will only appear after a couple of weeks.

GTA IV was stonking great. The car handling, physics and atmosphere of the city were far better than in V and no online mode in V came close to Team Mafiya Work.

At what time will the reviews appear?

Get the blu-ray box. The transfers are superb and the reframing from 4:3 to 16:9 has been meticulously done, shot-for-shot and with David Simon involved in a large part of the process. There is a fantastic article by Simon about it here.

Oh yes, I’d rate it slightly higher than Mandy and it was the sole reason I was hyped beyond belief for that film. Be prepared for the very deliberate pacing though. It works perfectly and creates a wonderful hazy atmosphere, but the “slowness” seems to catch some people off guard.

It was on US Netflix for a while but it seems to be gone everywhere now. I have the blu-ray and unfortunately it is indeed region locked (got a region-free player myself, mainly for Criterion blu-rays).

Ugh. I was looking forward to their Assassin’s Creed review

Now this is the stuff that makes me sit up and take notice.

I have a top 10 of favorites games, all of them based on their design genius and their impact on me when I played them, not necessarily their playability today. 1. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (1993) 2. Halo (2001) 3. Super Mario World (1990) 4. Day of the Tentacle (1993) 5. GoldenEye 007 (1997) 6. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) 7. Super Mario 64 (1996) 8. Half-Life 2 (2004) 9. The Last Guardian (2016) 10. F-Zero X (1998)

Can somebody confirm whether PS Plus is required to play the beta or not? I’m reading contradicting statements about this.

This will be FOTY, no doubt about it. Absolutely glorious.

GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE

Lol @ all these wild theories and weird assumptions about Edge not giving high marks to Ubisoft’s recent output, when each of those numbers is accompanied by some actual text that explains clearly and in great detail exactly why they didn’t rate the game any higher.
