Looking forward to playing this game for awhile. However it will be difficult to remain spoiler free, because with a new born and toddler I don't know when I'll get time to play, let alone buy it!
Ok here we go, so excited for this! Cannot wait anymore for the game just hoping they do implement HDR.
Also what time for embargo during today?

Love the pictures and the style of the text and infos. Just a tip: add it as text as well so it's searchable and can be copied. I think some infos like PC requirements would be cool, too :)
And yes, I'm SO excited for tomorrow! Hope everything work well with EGS...

I think I will have to revisit the overall design. I struggled along, as everything changed much like the FBC building.
I also forgot to mention the game takes inspiration from The House of Leaves.

I'm intrigued, but I've kind of sworn off EGS, skipping several games I would like to play there.
Can't confirm, but Quantum Break supported 21:9 so it would be odd to see Control won't.
EDIT: Confirmed.

Best Buy just informed me my payment hadn't gone through, which is weird, 'cause I preordered months ago (turns out paypal = immediate, credit card = not immediate), so I'm worried I'll get this late.
Might be the most exciting game of 2019 for me unless Disco Elysium ships?

Played about 4-5 hour so far, really enjoying it. Seems a lot less in your face about story stuff than QB (which I also liked)
I can double check but I don't think so, I don't remember getting difficulty options
Nah I'm pretty sure there isn't, unless there's post game difficulty stuff unlocked.
In Remedy fashion, there are easter eggs/ references to Remedy's previous games. One can be seen below, not posting any spoilers here directly:
I picked this up early because a local store broke the street date. I did an hour of it so far and I dig it. It essentially feels like Fringe with more paranormal/horror elements to it. I'll probably play more of it tonight after work.
It may be an easy Platinum but lack of changing/manually loading saves is a concern.

Picking up my copy on the way home from work tomorrow and have a week long staycation to play it.
I thought I would be more excited but my hype level is hovering in the moderate range.
At least early reports that it is short mean I might have time to catch up on PSVR titles and Gears 3 & 4 (maybe Judgement too).
Edit: The Waypoint podcast review has me more excited. Only a few hours before I can experience its weirdness for myself.

My copy arrived Saturday and I've been playing through. I don't know how far through I am, but I just got
. It's really fun. And I love the style of the game, its setting and its various mysteries are super cool.
Performance on base PS4 has been sketchy at times, though. Freezing for 5-10 seconds after every main story mission completes, and massive hits to framerate when in the middle of explosive fights. Sometimes the map doesn't want to load itself either, so you can only see text and not the rooms. Outside of those it's been fine.
level 5 clearance and am heading to Black Rock Quarry

Technology just isn't there yet to display such data in store client like EGS.
Really hate these last minute review embargos though, What purpose do they serve and why are they in a publishers/developers interest if the title is good?
Yeah I really appreciated that too. Love the way the story develops the more you play it.
Game being good doesn't mean good mc, especially if the game is bold and not confirming to standard AAA game design in every way
Crit path rushing puts it around 7 - 8 hours.
Explore, do side quests, collectibles etc. and you are looking at 15+
^^ based on posts from ERA posters with early copies
Man yea lol I find the map hitching and post mission hitching fine enough, very unobtrusive, but the fps can absolutely tank when the physics get going. My only real complaint with the game. Got it on saturday and just about an hour ahead of you hah starting the next area after that.
I know how long it is, but not sure if I'm allowed to answer.
I don't have it under review. Friend has an early copy and I interrogated him for the details. I mainly am wondering if mods allow talking about the game prior to review?
The embargo is only for ending. They don't want it to be spoiled.
