Review embargo broken by IBT

I hope they hit them with some million dollars lawsuit so other anonymous maggots get the message loud and clear.

Small indie stores dont have to follow the street date. At least thats what they told me in that store. But i think i also saw someone saying here in the forum that some gamestop shops started to sell them aswell.

Also big chains in europe sadly which brings the small shops in trouble.

I am impressed that you would put a Companion mod like Willow for Fallout NV in the same category as a farming simulator. That is quite a stretch.

I am looking forward to having a more in-depth useful companion with a better backstory and Quests than Bethesda usually provides.

I used to know some one that never left vault 101 in fallout 3 because they disliked roaches to the point of turning their console off every time they got to the point of seeing them ...

I am laughting my ass of at this guy, i dont think they have to post the so called "full review" anymore, bethesda lawyers are probaly already setting up a little "Gibbs Slap" letter for him to enjoy. http://38.media.tumblr.com/c0b45739d901b2cc8d3e9865ac319231/tumblr_mn8n37kvoe1srkbtqo1_500.gif

Especially when there's potential to spend 10 hours in front of the mirror creating the character!

Posting leaks to any game play or posting spoilers without spoiler tags will get your account banned until after release. Don't do that. :nono:

Game "reviews" are typically the worst reviews in the world. Most of the time it is just an opinion of that individual with no regards to those who may actually like the game and want to play it. Not to mention any review that spoils anything story related for fallout 4 is not worth my time at all.
People really don't understand that for a few hundred hour game, ruining the story can ruin hundreds of hours. Just like reading a review that spoils a movie ending or worse a book ending.

The reviewer is probably used to a more railroaded story-intensive gameplay. Thankfully that's the only negative thing he mentions, which is not actually a negative thing for me personally.

This...this is a joke right?

Like seriously?

First off, you know COD is competing for a totally different demographic right?

I'm so tired of the echo-chamber in this forum. It's like the opposite (and just as dangerous) extreme as what we're seeing on /r/games and neogaf. I know we're ALL fans here, but can be we PLEASE stop pretending that anyone who hasn't enjoyed their experience with the game is a troll, or being bribed? You can LOVE a series and still have an intelligent, civil, and fair conversation about its flaws and merits. It's not an "us vs. them" scenario.

Sure we can focus on the the fact that this guy clearly didn't play enough of the game, but maybe he just genuinely didn't like it enough to keep playing? A game can be 1000 hours long but if it doesn't draw you in can you really be expected to stick with it? Games are supposed to be enjoyable.

That doesn't mean that we wont enjoy it, but let's not write off one man's opinion (opinion!) as complete bull just because he honestly and genuinely did not like something that you honestly and genuinely hope you like. I'm sure A LOT of people who got the game early are enjoying it, but let's not riot against the group of people (and they do exist) who really are NOT enjoying their time with the game.

Again, maybe everyone here is being sarcastic, but it's hard to tell over the internet and I am slightly drunk.

Edit: Also, come on guys, the review wasn't even all that negative. You're getting worked up over nothing.

Edit again: Also, where does he say he only played for 10 hours? I'm not even seeing that. Yeah...someone completely made that up, he clearly played for over 20 hours. He even specifically mentions that. Did ANYONE even read the review before they complained about it?

+1 on this, CoD players arn't the ones FO4 is aimed at. Its like comparing chickens with a cow. FPS games like CoD are for a different crowd then RPG/Hybrid games.

That said, i also dont believe the guy was bought either, he just made the mistake to post a "opinion" in the form of a "review". If you review a game you must keep in mind that you need to be objective, there will no doubt be parts of every game that aren't perfect, and could even be improved. That does not mean that a game is bad though.

Had the same bloody thing with spiders in skyrim, but i managed to still play throught it. That said, dont ridicule someone's phobia's, people realy can have such drastic reaction due to phobia's as to make playing impossible. That does not mean they should "swallow and man up", they simply cant handle it.

PS: not meant as an attack on you @SetoKaiba, just saying this in general, hope i dont offend.

Opinions are reviews. That's literally what a review is: some guy's opinion. There's no such thing as an objective review. That would ruin the point.

Scratch that. There IS such thing as a 100% objective review. Destructoid tried to do this with FF13:

"The videogame has graphics and sound. The graphics are seen with your eyes and the sound is heard by your ears. When you start the game the graphics and the sound will occur almost at the same time, letting you know that the game has started. There is also text which players can read.

If you buy Final Fantasy XIII and like it, then you like Final Fantasy XIII. If you buy Final Fantasy XIII and don't like it, then you don't like Final Fantasy XIII. It has things in it that some people might enjoy but other people who have different ideas of what is enjoyable may not actually enjoy it.

In conclusion, Final Fantasy XIII is a videogame.

Score: N/A (Since a reviewer would use his judgment to give a game a score, a score cannot be given at this time.)"

That's not accurate at all, anyone that's selling the game has an agreement via there distributor via BGS. They'd have to follow whatever rules are set in place. If not they're breaking date.

Then only Gamestop sales that break date are employees buying it or selling to friends early if they can get away way it.

True to an extend. But one must always look beyond there own personal feelings on a subject and try to give credit were credit is due. If a game does something wel, despite you not liking that game, you give credit for doing so. I dislike Halo and Mario games. But both Halo and Mario are game series that have their merits. I dont think they are bad game series, just not something i want to play. I can be both objective and still give my personal opinion on subjects.

I personally like to imagine that Pete Hines personally went to their office and gave the author a German suplex along with a court order.

And the reviewer definitely DID give the game credit where it was due. His review wasn't even all that negative.

Are we reading the same review? Am I going insane?

YOUR a towel!

Seriously though lots of gamers would play both and lots of those gamers have a limited budget and can only afford one or the other this month. Did you seriously not think of that?

Yes we did, though i didnt read the whole thing, cause i didnt want to spoil anything for myself.

True, i never meant they didnt, but the main crowd that buys CoD, might not buy FO4. While some might, most probaly wont. In the end though, it depends totaly on each persons personal tastes. I like RPG's and Tactical shooters (Arma, Rainbow Six, etc.). Doesnt mean i dont occasionaly play other genres too though.

There are only 3 sites that I read reviews from and or trust scores.. Polygon, IGN,.. and finally, Metacritic..(just for scores, because there are too many reviews and opinions to have to care about each one..)
