I'm going to bet some reviewers are going to be relatively harsh on the game for different reasons so the ratings will fall somewhere between mid/late 70's to around 87.

But for professional reviews I'd say like, 9/10 on average

I’m kind of laughing at all the people talking about taking work off and stuff, nothing wrong with that, I’m just in a weird situation where I’m gonna have to wait till later in the evening anyway because I have young children.

That said I probably could run it on a laptop using Geoforce now and it’s a lot easier...especially with the Safari support they added. Kind of wanna return the Xbox version, but I already did it once to get the 5,000 Microsoft Rewards points, and it feels kind of obnoxious to try and do again.

Still I can just try it out and if I like it return the Xbox version.

That’s the standard take outside of I guess the Epic store.

Also it goes down to 25 and then 20 as the game racks of revenue. This is almost certainly at or close to the 20% threshold.

That's what GOG takes from devs who they don't share ownership with. It's considered the standard cut.

I think Epic is undercutting that by only taking 10-20%?

That's a bit different though, since it doesn't imply any attraction on your part, just that you're good at convincing them.

Sure it does. Fallout's head-canon would have it absolutely leading toward attraction toward the opposite sex, and ability to attract the opposite sex. The perk toward females in Fallout is a literal double entendre with "lady-killer" implying someone who is both incredibly successful at attracting the opposite sex and someone who is, in Fallout perchance, more skilled at killing ladies.

That's just one example. There are several from pen and paper related games that have rules, feats or skills that act similarly in some way or another.

There's even an incredibly crappy film that has a somewhat similar application and implication - someone who was able to attract a lady and, subsequently, was attempting to kill them. It was released straight to DVD.

How would I know what to expect when combat in Deus Ex consisted of 20+ hours of meticulous sneaking, dragging bodies into vents, and maybe about 3 minutes of shooting the final boss in the head over and over with a tranq rifle :confused:

Well, if you played before the Enhcnaed Edition or whatever it was called , you had to shoot at least 3 bosses.
Though honestly, 30% of my gametime was running around doing takedowns on EVERYONE.

Being incredibly successful at attracting the opposite sex does not mean you are attracted to the opposite sex. I would have preferred the NV perks to be pure "additional dialog options and romances" and not the "extra damage" stuff.

PlayStation 4 file structure is really bad. Basically it creates a new partition for each game, and does this again when a game is updated, and then deletes the old partition. This makes it very safe though in case of corrupted files, but the chances of that happen are extremely rare, so its not really a good trade off.

Really, though? I assumed this was more of a 'light stealth but you still get into a lot of mandatory combat' type deal and not a 'you can literally ghost every encounter' game. I mean I'd love to be wrong because I loved the flow of DXHR and DXMD stealth but this doesn't appear to be that.

To be fair, they changed it so after the first $50M it was only 20% or something like that. Indies? gently caress them! Valve is pretty cyber-corpo in that.

12%, and "free" engine if you use UE4.0 (usually is 5% of the game revenue).

PS file system requires double the space of the game for all installs and updates and then deletes the second half after it's been this way since at least PS3.

That's with the patch to fix all the issues that some people said were in the base versions of the game. It's why the game got delayed twice, it was ready to go in March, the PC version anyways, it took more time to tackle some of the issues that were frequent on the consoles.
