When I went to install this last night after unlocking, I was shocked to see that the game is almost 16GB's. Obviously more than half of that is the Bink cutscenes.
Suffice it to say, I'll have to wait for Monday after ESO and WildStar's beta weekends to free up some space on the SSD.
Unfortunately thanks to GFAQs we've known since Saturday that Kevin was going to give this game 6/10.
When you upload the review to the server, make sure GFAQs isn't going to cache it to display in their 'Also on GameSpot' news boxes plastered all over the site.
We've been discussing this review all weekend.
*Has the Master Thief Edition preloaded and patiently awaiting Midnight for it to unlock on Steam minus Mantle support -_-*
@Gelugon_baat Uh, yeah that's the point of that phrase. Kevin is pissed off Tom backstabbed him on the B:I review. Tom's life isn't complete if he doesn't shit in your Wheaties every morning.
I see Tom and Carolyn's influence finally rubbed off on Kevin. Used to be Kevin gave everything a high score. *cough*Bioshock Infinite*cough*. I guess Kevin didn't want Tom's Second Take to give a score half of what Kevin gave it, making Kevin look stupid for giving such a high score in the first place.
Thank you kindly for yet another well-written review Miguel! You're my new favorite reviewer next to Kevin, and hopefully after this Kevin starts giving you more games to review. Much, much better reviewer than Todd and Caroline.
'about 30 combined hours on both the Xbox One and PS4 versions.'
Was it evenly split between the consoles, or did you (Miguel) prefer a certain console?
I got a launch PS4 and I got this, along w/ Fifa 14 and NBA 2K14. I'm very happy w/ what I got in this Madden, but I do agree that the graphics could have been better but I'm sure in 2 years when it's built from the ground up on next-gen, the realism will almost be too real.
The new trench warfare is neat but I didn't at first like the running game. EA took away Turbo, and because I didn't realize that EA added it back, I couldn't run since the runner would move his feet realistically and throw me off. But now that I know Turbo is back, I'm getting good runs off again.
Very nice review, I agree w/ the score. Thanks Miguel!
@unreal101 @iMpLuX @gamerno66666 Yea the custom-cooled ones hit on Thanksgiving just in time for Black Friday. AMD made all the vendors wait on the custom-cooled units till a month after release.
