Nice, I'm still expecting about an 8.5 here, I could see them giving it below 9 because it won't exactly appeal to that large of an audience, it all depends if it appeals to the reviewer himself, because if that does not happen it can score even lower.

Sounds good however it might end up 8.5 here at GS, "Flop" warning on this game :? (sw rules).

No if I remember correctly there was/is a hype thread and according to the poll it's AAAE.

Pretty sure I remember hearing before that hype thread polls don't matter since a lot of people who don't even intend to buy the game would over-hype it so they can claim ownage when it flops.

Your game doesn't need to appeal to a large audience to get a 9.0. It just has to be really great.

Is this an attempt at the English language? Also the correct term is console.

Yeah but it backfires if the reviewer is not part of that particular audience.

Meh, rather play through Bioshock 2 or Mass Effect 2 again.

Looks interesting, but its a buy at 30-40 bucks.

Anyone that thinks Quick Time Events is not a proper gameplay element is just plain ignorant or a mindless lemm troll. The majority being the latter.

Gamespot seem to favor strong stories and on the lenght part, well you can play through the game and try different scenarios.

Only 8 hours?

Doesn't seem like great value to me.

That will probably count against it in the GS review.

I am not a fan of the gameplay at all, but I will probably go ahead and buy this one just for the story. After playing the demo again, I feel that is a redeemable enough quality for me to actually enjoy it. If anything, it will simply offer up something different from the norm these days. For that, I am willing to go ahead and give the full game a shot.

looks good, and looks like a purchase with the different choices meaning multiple playthroughs. one of the best storys in gaming according to ign, so it looks like there will be no silly twist in this game like farenheit, which is good.

No if I remember correctly there was/is a hype thread and according to the poll it's AAAE.

There was two hype threads with polls actually. One was AAAe Majority and the other was AAe majority.

8 Hours is long enough for this type of game. I hate comparing games to movies, but that's like 4 two hour movies in a row.

Sounds good however it might end up 8.5 here at GS, "Flop" warning on this game :? (sw rules).

There are no rules on Gamespot SW, its anarchy.

There is no Only GS counts rule nor is there an official hype thread to determine flops. The hype is all over the place but there is certainly no "rules" here on SW.

Anarchy rules the day.

OT: Awesome review, has a 90 on MC and can't wait till next week when I can pick this bad boy up.
