These games are still extremely fresh and recent, especially Tomb Raider which hasn't even gone on sale yet that I have seen. There is a huge amount of people who wait for games to drop at least $20 before getting after they come out. They are counting their eggs before they know how many chickens are going to come out. (does that analogy work? not sure... heh)

@smsmsmoosavi Yea I think 7.5 - 8.5 is a good prediction. I'm afraid it will be TOO arcadey to really enjoy, myself.

According to metacritics, the scores are widespread and really mixed. Most are positive but they range currently from 60 - 96. Very interesting. User score on here is a bit lower than expected so far but its obviously too early to say.

Big fan of the others however I'm just not too sure what to think based on what I have seen so far and what others have said. Probably would be something fun to pick up when it gets near half price, but definitely not full price.

and the verdict is... NOPE. Still can't play one game without getting kicking out.

Sure hope this update fixes the still present connection problems. It really is so fun to play but a lot of people keep getting kicked from almost every single game losing all progress.

Haven't they heard? Female protagonist is the IN thing now. Perhaps you are missing the fact that there are so many female gamers out there. Fine be worried about losing male sales... you will replace them with brand new female fans. Epic needs to get with the times.

Meanwhile, the last of us devs refused to take the female character off of the front cover of the box and move her to the back like they were asked to based on this very argument.

Blocking used games has been the rumor for awhile, and its probably coming. As is the move to eliminating discs.

I'm an xbox user, but I can't wait till the 20th to see what Sony is doing. Xbox will sure be similar in fashion in terms of the politics of it. At least we can finally be struck with some reality instead of speculating on the future based on rumors.

@a3thyr @SweetPandaLove I agree. However I was really happy to see III use the extra disc to separate multiplayer content and singleplayer content like Halo 4 did thus not needing to squeeze everything onto one disc, and removing content from the SP to fit the MP.

I was hoping the people of Ubisoft would write it... but, regardless I have faith in them.

I've never agreed with an entire wall of comments before on GS. We may all disagree on what games we like, but we all know how ridiculous this excuse for blame is towards our games.
