The RPS write-up is excellent. While overwhelmingly positive it remains balanced and mentions several reservations which could affect people's purchasing decision (like it did mine).
I was expecting this one to fall short of the mark, then the early, vague statements made by this site's editorial staff made me reconsider. I think I can safely claim to stand corrected at this point.
Sessler's review stressed playing it on a PC if possible because it, visually, looked like nothing he had ever seen before (though I'm guessing this is a mixture of art style+graphical fidelity). No idea on FPS and all the other technical stuff though.
@mrfluke: The praise from Adam Sessler in his review has shot my excitement for this game into space
That was what sent me over the edge. I went from zero hype to "must buy" just like that. Not that Infinite wasn't on my radar, but I've been pretty much actively avoiding all media coverage, and seeing that one video (and especially hearing him compare it to Half-Life, which was pretty much what I was doing before he even said that) made me need it now rather than waiting for the inevitable price drop in a week.
@kishinfoulux: By and large, everyone is saying play it on PC if possible. Mostly comes down to the game simply looks better, which is pretty expected. There are, however, a few surprising reports that the mouse and keyboard can be a bit funny. So, yeah, if you've got a controller set up for your PC that might be the best way to play.
Was waiting for reviews to make sure the game wasn't completely broken or anything but I was always going to get it even if it got middling scores. Great to see that it's getting such praise and can't wait to play it tomorrow. Also happy for Ken Levine, that dude has been doing like a billion interviews and press over the last few weeks and it's cool that he can finally enjoy people playing his game (along with the rest of the people at Irrational).
The only thing that bums me out about this is that some guy might've spoiled it for me on Kotaku (he later said he was only just trolling but who knows). This only really stings after hearing Sessler talk about how much of it needs to be experienced first hand. I need tomorrow.
Oh, wow. This game looks like it's going to be the best game of the year. If only had we something to award said game with...
Glad I pre-ordered it. Steam is unpacking it as I type, but I'll wait until Wednesday afternoon to start playing it. We have a week-long holiday here in Spain starting in two days, so I much rather save for later the sweet experience that Bioshock Infinite is shaping up to be.
