And even the most stringent sony fan cannot argue Nintendo having the best games.

I don't really prefer pure gameplay over cinematic games. But I think cinematic games should take advantage of the elements they're trying to express. Like in Infinite and this game, the co-player is a female you've to protect. But you only protect her in cutscenes, in-game she doesn't seem to exist at all. Make it add something to the gameplay: Protect your co-player as much as possible (ICO?). It can really add something to the overall game. It gives you a reason to care about her. Also the glitches are disturbing in beautiful games like this. Just take the time to take out the glitches. Mass Effect is another good example of a cinematic game doing it right.

Alright so it legit went back up to 96?  Awesome.  

And I miscounted. It's 27 perfects not 28

@Bold have you played the demo?

No, the game is not easy by any means, at least when it comes to enemy encounters. You have to be prepared (shivs are priceless here) and plan. If you go rambo you will die if there are more than 3 enemies at once. 

But you should play on hard from the go. The survival aspect is much better there (scavenging, backpack space, ammo, etc.), and the AI is better.

As for the really quick loading times, and frequent checkpoints. It's pretty much comparable to the Uncharted here, which I find great personally, I actually hate when there are few checkpoints and when I die I have to replay the exact same sequence as before, it's a major turn-off for me. And the game seems to encourage and reward stealth attitude and planning anyway, so you don't have to be forced to play it safe just not to replay the checkpoint for 20 minutes,

i wasnt expecting it to go up. but atleast this rise would offest some other reviews that would pull it down. hopefully quarter to three can stop with their troll reviews and dont touch this. 

anyways im happy that this got a meta higher than 90 so 95 or 96 or even 94 wont make much of a difference
