Those who are playing it: keep sharing.

Can't wait to play this. I got shipment confirmation. I might get it by Saturday.

If you consider yourself an able/experienced gamer, these kind of survival games are most enjoyable in harder difficulties. The time i've played so far has not been a difficult game even in hard (yet), but i feel this difficulty level is the one will make the experience more satisfactory in the end. Like i said in another post, you need this game to make you feel exhausted physically/mentally when you reach your goal to leave a mark on you. If it doesn't feel you have experienced obstacles along the road that you needed to overcome then the game will not work for you.

This is a game about the journey, not the destination. If people try to rush this, they're destroying the game for themselves.

What do you mean “so much stock”? I replied to that post because whoever posted it said it’s a very well written review (I’d have read it soon anyway since it’s Giant Bomb). It’s not as if I’m deciding to pass on buying the game on PC or PS4 because of that review. I’ve read a lot of the glowing reviews as well and even a lot of them talk about how underwhelming the narrative and/or the gameplay are. 

Furthermore I’ve replied to a few people here upset about the scores or how reviews work and told them to find reviewers they trust and rely on those. I practice what I preach, and Giant Bomb is one of my favorite places for reviews and podcasts. I’ve also gotten into Easy Allies the last couple years because of their podcasts and iirc they gave it an 8 but also complained about many gameplay elements. I don’t care about what some gushing A+ review from Gaming Age says and I didn’t read the 3.5 out of 10 score either because I put zero stock in those websites. 

The reviewers I do trust have big issues with gameplay and also some of the narrative as well. And for those reasons, I’m out. Shark Tank!

And then came the next explosion. An explosion that will be our last. The Giant Bomb.

I have the game

Jim Sterling didn't appreciate it at all. 

Yeah that Sterling video wasn’t flattering to the game at all.

Yes i watched it today,i do think he is a good reviewer.

I mean he does hate some games i like but from his wording i sometimes like what he thinks of as a negative,i can see how a game like this can be divisive though.

He was one of the few reviewers that recognized Battleborn for the treasure that it was, and for that he will always be one of my favorite journalists.

I'm still waiting for my copy, but I'm confident I'll enjoy this game.

Not only I know what I'm expecting, it's not the usual action/adventure open world (yes, everyone knows that), but I get that the game has a slow pace, it's quiet, it's about avoiding enemies and managing resources. It might not be really exciting, but i feel that it's a sort of experience I'll like.

It's definitely a new sort of game. Hopefully I'll have my copy before sunset.
