Andrast posted:There is like no correlation between dumb embargoes and game quality though Yeah, something like 99% of embargos are day before or day of release. The only mark of a potential poo poo game is a company not sending out review copies at all, the videogame equivalent of a movie not being screened for critics. Lodin posted:Laura Dale mentioned that that the review embargo for Mario/Rabbids is up today but most people only got download codes yesterday. In other words any review popping up in a couple of hours will be worthless trash. Most people is interesting given I've seen a lot of games media types talking about it on podcasts since last week.

I just wish they all happened like 4 or 5 days before release so if a game is garbage I can cancel the preorder without having to ship it back

Man, I really enjoyed ARMS' Global Testpunch this weekend. I'd love to play it some more but at €50 I'm not sure I can justify getting it over Splatoon 2 or Mario Xcom. I think I'll wait and see whether it becomes better as they add more content or it just crashes and burns.

You are either a dirty rotten liar or I am a dirty rotten dumbass. Third option, I am forgetting all the different modes there were in past Tetris games. Still, it's a great game, buy it.

Rabbids embargo up, reviews coming out and pretty much every single one seems to be super positive. Also don't pre-order games unless you're 100% certain you're going to buy it day 1 anyway.

Frankston posted:Mario + Rabbids is averaging 85% on Metacritic including a 9 from Gamespot and a 7.7 from IGN. The 7.7 score from IGN is funny cause the reviewer is their supposedly super strategy game guy yet he knocks the game for "devolving in a game of trial and error" and multiple other reviewers have come out saying "uh...no you're given all the information at the start there's nothing that pops up mid mission to gently caress you over" so he's basically admitting he's bad at strategy games inadvertently and blames the game  I can't recall any other console where I've bought one game every month using its launch year yet here I am planning on buying a loving Rabbids game tomorrow Dr. VooDoo fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Aug 28, 2017 |

I do not feel like there is much risk in missing out for not ordering so I'm just gonna walk into GameStop tomorrow and hope for the best. Also the boss in In Mechanical Maniac Maze Act 2 or whatever it's called is really tough. I burned five lives on him yesterday and haven't felt like trying again since cause both those acts are so long.

That's like when they essentially put in video chat (well, I think it was just a video feed, not sure if there was audio) for Starfox 64 3D but it only worked for local multiplayer.

Something bugs the core of my being that Splatoon 2 reviewed worse than a rabbids spin off, but then I shrug and am glad at least it'll mean more people using their switch. Still not giving Ubisoft my money tho, and I still got a lot of Disgaea left

It’s a bold move for Nintendo to have released a console months ago when the first good game comes out tomorrow but I am glad I got it early so I can play Mario+Rabbids all day tomorrow.

NRVNQSR posted:Embargoes have gotten crazy recently; you just don't hear about it often because one of the terms is always "don't talk about the embargo". It's completely normal these days for the conditions on getting a game early to be things like "You may post three hours of video, but no one video may be longer than half an hour. You may not release screenshots of Regular Luigi or Rabbid Yoshi, but they may appear in videos. Videos cannot include Regular Yoshi or any stages containing lava. You can describe the game as you play it, but this cannot be a review and you may only speak for 15 minutes on one video. You may not impersonate Charles Martinet in any coverage." Several years ago there was a WWE game released, and one of the stipulations for reviews was that no images could be published showing wrestler Triple H (who was the world champion at the time) in a prone or vulnerable position.

Just finished going through most of the reviews from sites I typically enjoy and the game sounds awesome. It's funny seeing one of the negatives people list as it's odd seeing Mario pull out a gun and cap someone's rear end, but to me that makes the whole thing even better. I look forward to it being bizarre. Anyways, yeah, for sure picking this up tomorrow. Can't wait for Mario X-Com.
