Does this mean the review embargo is over or is this just one of those cases where a single review gets posted earlier?

I think it's one of those which just slipped through the net for the traffic.

Thought so. Early leak of the review, random site I've never heard about and a "controversially low score" for a very hyped game, this one's got all it takes to be viewed as pure clickbait.

I am not sure how legit this review is, I mean it says "HBO’s Dexter"

And why would an unkown website like this get permission to post a review before everybody else, I mean clearly sites like IGN, Gamespot or Polygon would get the game first.

 

I am sorry I call bullshit on this review.

 

That being said I think thats where the game will end up mid to high seventees

Sadly so. Hopefully other reviews will come out soon and paint a more positive light on the game. I hope so, it looks great!

Even if the game did end up in the mid seventies i still suspect it to sell good. see the first assasins creed.

Yup, I've no doubt the game well sell great (look at the advertising, the remaining hype and also the sales projections).

Sure it'll be a great game though.

The first AC tough came out at the peak of the Hype, the watch dogs hype train has already left the station. I mean it will still do relatively well but it wont sell 6 million units by the end of the year.



so, no GOTY?

Go X!



One huge caveat/punishment Ubisoft implemented is when you do turn off the Online Option, all your skills accumulated are reset to zero. You read that right. They all get reset to zero. All the online-specific skills reset to zero as punishment for not wanting to play online, something which is entirely disappointing. Either you keep getting invaded, or you get punished for wanting to play sometimes and not other times with the online mode.


Fuckin' lol


That doesn't seem too legit.. 7.2? Hell no..



A non-established review site breaks the embargo and gives a score lower than expected to generate clicks? I don't care.
