Anybody picking it up at launch like me? Between this and Zelda next week, I'll pretty set on open world games for a while! Reviews have been coming in, and the game it getting some exceptional critic scores. 88 on metacritic, with some publications calling it the new standard for the open world genre. 

 

 

Here's a pod talking about the mechanics of the game, story (no real spoilers), combat, interactions with the robots etc. Really psyched to play on the 28th.

About 4 hours in. Couldn't stop playing. This game is amazing. The graphics, movement, the lore, combat, climbing mechanics, and even the (seemingly) small choices you get in actions/dialogues, it's all so good and flows together nicely.

The combat is so fuging addictive. All I want to do is seek out more poo to fight. 


The fight at the end of The Proving...I hadn't utilized the heavy melee blows until that point. Was pleasantly surprised at how well the mechanics worked with it and how the game sort of adapted to how you came at the enemy. I don't know if maybe I was overthinking it or maybe I'm just not remembering it correctly, but the animations of attacks timed with positioning of the enemies seemed to flow well and you didn't have animations that frame-jumped or anything. Could've stayed in that sequence for an hour and been content.

I'm so jealous right now.  Reading all of your comments, checking the Horizon sub on Reddit, and having to listen to my co-worker every day is killing me!  Luckily, my buddy said he'd let me borrow his  PS4 when he's done playing it (he's one of those guys who has every system, so he probably wouldn't miss it for a while).  I'll be six months behind, but it will be worth it.

I'm considering buying a PS4 slim for myself- between this, The Last of Us (never played it), Spiderman, God of War- it might be worth it if I can find a deal for one around 200

I've never owned a playstation in my life, and I currently own an Xbone so it would be a totally unnecessary purchase.

The Last of Us is amazing. It's the best single player game I've ever played. It really is a must play. It sounds like you'd get a lot of use out of it since you listed 3 games you're interested in. That's not even  including the remastered games that our PS Must plays like God of War 3, The Uncharted Collection, Uncharted 4, etc.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
