For me the reviews would have been a source for cool gameplay footage. I don't have a PS4. Doesn't look like I will have a PS4 anytime soon. Just wanted to have some fun with the reviews as an alternative.

Guess I will have to hit twitch later tonight to get my gameplay streams...

 

[SolidSnakex]

Sounds like we aren't even getting reviews tonight. Good fucking job Sony in providing the copies extra late so no scores would be posted in time for launch.

Reviewers have had it for a week. How's that "extra late"? The game is just big. Plus i'm sure some reviewers want to be able to play the game online with other gamers before finally nailing down exactly how they feel about it.

 

[DryvBy]

UPS has my game sitting at their facility. I'm arranging a scheduled pick-up right now. Hype!

 

[zma1013]

Hmm, my CE won't be here until the 30th, I didn't realize Best Buy shipped on the release date instead of before. Mulling the idea of buying a normal copy to play tonight and then trading it back when I get my CE. How much do stores normally give for games a week after release?

It's not. It's fairly reasonable.

If you have GCU at Best Buy, a game like this will probably fetch $48-$45, which isn't bad since you get all new games $48 anyway.

IIRC the GameSpot reviewer finished Bloodborne yesterday. So they'll probably have a full review when embargo lifts.

I do indeed have GCU. That's brilliant!

Only because the Kevin played obsessively. 65 hours in one week.

10 hour sessions a day?

Totally. A week isn't nearly enough time to review a game. If Sony had any faith at all in this game, they would've sent out copies last Christmas. I think we should start a hashtag.

Bonus trade in is over this week

Yeah... beating a souls game in a week sounds really tough to me

 

[SDCowboy]

edit: never mind

Ooh, that's rough.
But hasn't the game gone gold just 2 weeks ago? That explains why reviewers got the game late.

 

[FullMetaltech]

edit: never mind

Its been happening. Bishtop made it.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

It doesn't really matter, since they artificially deflate the values of games during bonus weeks anyway. After the bonus week is over, the base prices go back up.

You still get an extra 10%, and games are usually in the mid to upper $40 trade-in value the first week or so...especially popular games with decent Metacritic scores. Example: I got $48 for Watch_Dogs with no trade-in bonus (outside of GCU).

you are just overreacting! Like always. don't buy the game if you care so much for reviews.

playing a game like bloodborne and then writing a review about it..
1 week isn't that long either.

 

[Teknoman]

For the first time in a long time I dreamed about playing game before its release. Used that Victorian name gen and everything.

they should delay the launch date. i think we could wait for one more month

 

[bananafactory]

Both OTs are now locked? The hell?

 

[Schryver]

Both OTs are now locked? The hell?

lol someone fucked up

 

[AngryMoth]

Err both OTs got locked

 

[lt519]

Both OTs are now locked? The hell?

Fantastic title to close the hype OT, but now what..

 

[Bunta]

Both OTs are now locked? The hell?

Rofl, noticed that. Rogue mods.

 

[JayEH]

Is this the OT now?

 

[FF Seraphim]

*smacks head on desk* why was the real OT locked?

 

[Amused]

Things just got interesting.

 

[Krusenstern]

Both OTs are now locked? The hell?

That went too far now...

 

[Kaako]

Haha WTF is going on with the OTs.

 

[DieH@rd]

THE HYPE HAS CONFUSED EVEN THE MODS

 

[Robot Pants]

Wellp.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

someone make another one. quick.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Both OTs are now locked? The hell?

lol someone fucked up

Err both OTs got locked

I guess Bloodborne is cancelled for GAF

 

[eot]

It's time for OT2

 

[dreamlock]

I think someone closed Robot Pants OT by accident?

 

[Vire]

you are just overreacting! Like always. don't buy the game if you care so much for reviews.

I already bought the game?

Preloaded and everything. I just want to see the reviews for fun.

 

[AkuMifune]

Modbot fucked up. That's what we get for putting our faith in AI.

I need more random twitter impressions. The thirst is real.

 

[Nibel]

Will probably open up when the game is released.

 

[FF Seraphim]

I think someone closed Robot Pants OT by accident?

Not sure... read the post... hopefully it was done jokingly...

 

[Kaako]

I'll take this as confirmation that Bloodborne is cancelled fo-real fo-real. Take your lunch bag and go home.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

The hell?

 

[fierrotlepou]

I'll never understand ModBot. He/it's an enigma.

 

[Schryver]

I think someone closed Robot Pants OT by accident?

No they claimed that they would keep the one Bish started lol. It would have been fine since we will be on OT2 by the end of the day...

 

[Robot Pants]

They told me to show up on time or not show up at all.
So i guess the thread was too late.

Robot Pants |OT| YOU DIED

 

[ironcreed]

So umm, is someone else going to be doing one or what? We must have one for this game.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

So.. both threads were closed? Nice communication.

 

[Amused]

Just giving robot pants a hard time I guess. And by accident joke thread was closed at the same time.

 

[DrkSage]

Can't breath, laughing to hard at both Bloodborne threads being locked up

 

[Jombie]

Sterling said on Twitter is review is dropping around 7 tonight. I can't blame some for not having their review ready, the online aspect is a big part of this game.
