This shipped from Gamefly today, I hope I can at least get it by Wednesday. So tempting to just go out and buy the game instead tomorrow.

I wish they showed more of the story and themes of this game and less "HOLY SHIT GUNS AND EXPLOSIONS AND WE HIRED MICHAEL BAY TO DO OUR TRAILER WAAAAH".

I didn't think about that. I thought it would unlock like Far Cry 3 did, 1PM EST.

@hef: Why on earth would you want story spoilers in a trailer like this? I've literally not watched a single video since the E3 2011 demo. I know this game will be, if nothing else, interesting and the less I know about its story details, the more surprised I can be. This is one of the only games in recent memory where I've been on pretty much complete radio silence.

It looks good, but the main guy sounds like a voice pitched rapist.

Because not everyone thinks every little fucking thing is a spoiler. Oh no they showed what color the grass is OMG!!! Spoilers!!!

I would like to know a little bit about the story to see if im even interested in what they are telling.

@fiberpay: There are several other story-centric trailers. Try those, before you smart off about grass color being a spoiler, maybe?

Jeff's doing the review but I'm thinking its definitely going to be between 1 and 5 stars... my bets closer to the 5 end of the scale.

@onyxghost: It sounds like The Duke Spirit. I don't know for sure, but I own 2 of their albums and the vocals sound alot like Liela Moss. Here's a vid for comparison:

well considering it apparently cost them $200 mil to make, i'm hoping so too for their sake.

i'm basing that on a neogaf post, so take that as you will.

soon i'll probably throw a few bones their way for the DLC.

Levine came out on twitter and said that the 200 million figure was just rumor. He didn't throw out any other figures, however, so take that as you may.

MEDIA BLACKOUT MEDIA BLACKOUT

I've skimmed through written reviews.

I watch about 30 seconds of the Sess' review and force myself to stop.

I can't take this anymore. Just let me go to sleep now and wake me up when its in my possession .

@trilogy: Even something as content-heavy as TOR only cost around $50 and as far as I've read had similarly sized teams and dev cycles. So it's probably somewhere between 40 and 65 or so mil.

Adam Sessler gave probably the most positive review of a game I've ever seen. In fact if it hadn't been him I'd probably have dismissed it as hyperbolic drivel. Can't wait until tomorrow.

@jesterpc238: i really enjoyed that review as well. it's kind of funny but weather or not anyone agrees with his review it shows what games can do to people. i mean you can tell he is trying so hard not to let his excitement for the game over whelm him. and again regardless if this game "deserves" all its praise is irrelevant. its cool to see a person get that excited over something and is kind of telling why we all love games so much.

Oh? Was it always supposed to look... cartoonish? I don't mind, I just always thought they were going for realistic graphics, since Bioshock 1 was kinda realistic looking.

@bbqbram: They just got back from PAX East, so at the earliest, it'll be up this afternoon unless they already recorded it. They're probably under embargo for video coverage too, so might not go up until tomorrow.
