Days Gone Review Embargo Lifting On April 25

I hope I'm wrong, but everything I've seen, read, and heard about the game (including gameplay footage) exudes high-60s/low-70s. It just seems like the game is lacking a really strong hook in both gameplay and narrative.
Like I said, I hope Bend proves me wrong!

Sorry, the more accurate way to state it would be that Bloodborne was an exclusive developed for Sony by a 3rd party studio, not a 1st party studio like Days Gone. Somebody at some point before Detroit Become Human launched said that it was more the practice for Sony to have exclusives developed by 3rd party studios have their review embargo lift right before, but this is a 1st party studio developed exclusive in this case.
Regardless I suspect it may score around the low 80s or so, and I may grab it on the cheap later down the road for a quick playthrough when I can ever get breathing room from my backlog.
Oddly enough, I've seen the ads playing on ESPN (big time sports channel).
Bloodborne absolutely is a first-party exclusive. Sony owns the IP and Japan Studio played a big part in the development for that game.
Wouldn't that make it and Spidey a 2nd party game? Either way I'm sure it will be better than State of Decay 2.
That's a FROM game more than anything.
Even your edit is garbage. This has no bearing on anything. And you have no data to back this up. Breath of the Wild's review embargo was the day before. God of War was a week before, etc., etc. It holds no bearing as there are many examples on either side. It's basically a non-starter but of course you came in looking to spew garbage so you attempted to turn it into something.
Really? That is a bit of an odd choice, haha. Though still nowhere near as odd as when the NBA Slam Dunk Contest was "Sponsored by Final Fantasy XIII".
Should be a good buy for you.
From what I saw in the previews, bike riding seems to be very funny and the map seems to be good designed for cruising around.
I don't want to derail the subject but that's second party since they're an independent developer.
Spider-Man is one of the biggest media franchises ever, though. Sony knew it was an easy sale - they just had to inform people the game existed.
Days Gone is an original IP, and thus a harder sell by definition. It also doesn't have a major legacy developer that they can lean on to sell the game's credibility. It's very understandable that they're not doing a Spider-Man scale marketing spend out of the gate.
My guess is that if it reviews even moderately well, Sony pushes plenty of 'critical acclaim' spots that focus on the praise.
You should definitely tell Insomniac that you know more than them about their business relationships. Maybe they will hire you.
That's correct. Just like Metroid Prime wasn't first party initially.
That sounds great. April didn't have much I was interested in so I think I might end up buying this one.
I wasn't all that interested in this but the media shown has actually piqued my interest.
It'll be Day One assuming I can tear myself away from MK11.

Translating "You know, this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." into a score is probably 70-75.
This stupid ass argument happens like once a month at least with the same dumb ass shit being parroted.
"2nd Party" is not a term that publishers use, and I think Insomniac would know if there game is considered 1st party or not.
2nd party is not an industry term. If you own the IP then it is a first party IP even though it is developed by a 3rd party studio. 2nd party is just what gamers use to call said studios colloquially but it is not an official term.
Tough one, but I really do think this is going to be a critical flop, while still selling moderately well
I've really haven't seen many good impressions and from what I've seen, and my hunch, tells me this just is going to be a dud that will get carried by initial hype

Over 50% of voters think Days Gone is going to average out somewhere between 81-85?
Optimistic. You'll ask why God deserted you when Edge drops that 5 and brings the Meta toppling down like a house of cards.

Please stop derailing threads. The term "second party" doesn't even exist. This, Bloodborne and Spider-Man are all first party. Deal with it.
See this is news to me and I genuinely appreciate the edification.
I thought '2nd Party' was a real thing.
