As potentially exciting as their description sounds, a great many high-concept games end up remaining only great in concept and not execution.  Given the pedigree of the games team, it deserves keeping an eye on development. But with nothing really revealed yet, its hard to be genuinely excited.

                    So you decided you needed a thread to complain about a review you hadn't taken the time to read in a week?  I can't figure out how this went wrong.  And for the record, I think it's less your differing opinion and more your personal attacks that get on people's nerves.

                   

               

First of all, I wasn't complaining, I was trying to have a discussion. And you do have somewhat of a point there, as I definately should have re-read it before I posted, but whether or not I remembered the exact wording of the review is a bit irrelevant to my point here. The point was that the final score or overall "judegment" of the game did not seem to reflect the pros and cons (IMO). As I've said, apparently I've misunderstood all along what those scores were supposed to mean; I'll know better going forward.  And please, do show me where I made a personal attack on anyone here... I've been completely open-minded and without judgement of anyone in this thread, despite other people not showing me that same respect.  The only thing that you could even marginally say was an attack or insult was my (jokingly) saying that Alex was reviewing the game from a hipster perspective, but I've already apologized for that.

 I can totally see where this game is not for everyone, you are certainly justified in your critiques.  However, for those that love the game, its MORE than the sum of its parts.   
 
If you condense the experience down to 1. Dick Jokes, 2. Mechanics, 3 Setting, 4 Music, etc. you are kind of missing the games charm and more so its point.   
 
Again I don't want to come off as some douche who thinks his opinion is the right one, as I said this game is not mass market material.  I respect your opinion, but several site are also agreeing with Alex's experience (Gamespot, Games Radar, etc.) 
 
This game, is about having a fucking good time and each element, in my opinio lends itself to that very cause.

Does Limbo have any replay value, aside from Achievements/Trophies?

And in a non-related story, Facebook has made a statement that private information of everyone on they system was released to the internet right after the hiring of George Hotz to Trotz.

Cool, I can wait.
