Sounds like true Elon fans

For a normal person you can't really tell if they paid or not, because Elon gave it randomly to celebrities and tech people. You can tell by looking at what they post or if they have ever tried to justify having it.

They’re really kinda different experiences. Nuclear Throne is fast paced and arcadey.

Just beat BotW for the first time after owning it for... 4 years? I don't remember how long. Bought it at Christmastime the year after my son was born so yes, 4 years. I remember playing it concurrently with my wife (two single player campaigns) and she got to the end first, so watching that kinda spiked my need/interest to finish and I got distracted and never did. I knew I needed to finish it before Tears came out so... fun game. Can't wait for Friday

I guess Nintendo has gotten so protective of TotK they had summon up late night submitting DMCA claims against any streamer on Twitch watching the official stream.

Is 24hrs before usually when they lift? I could’ve sworn there have been games recently where the embargo was lifted on like the Tuesday before release day

I enjoy reviews it's like more preview content you can enjoy to get even more hype.

ToTK is a safe bet but reviews have saved my butt from a ton of bad games that look p cool at surface glance

It really depends and is at the discretion of the publisher. There have been reviews dropped as much as a week early, sometimes we see two weeks. Usually its a sign of a publisher that is super confident in their game when they allow really early reviews. If a game review embargo is a day early, or day of release, that is typically a bad sign, but this is Nintendo, so that rule doesn't really apply. We all know Tears of the Kingdom is a 10/10 game, don't really need reviews to state the obvious. I'm just here for the ones that will clickbait with a bad faith low review score.

Hard agree. This is a game I would've gotten regardless. It's only smaller titles for which I bother with reviews and that usually means asking you lot.

AMA request a person who is such an alien to themselves that they have to read reviews to decide if they'd like to play a game or not.

They could’ve released the title and release date and not a single frame of actual footage and I would’ve pre-ordered the second it became available

Wargroove is one of those games that I thought I might enjoy but reviews helped steer me in the right direction further confirmed by how goons ultimately ended up receiving it

Ty reviewers for saving me $20 and 15 or so hours of my life! Played awesome games like dead cells with that time instead

Eh I thought it looked pretty solid based on trailers, the neat pixel art, and AW-like gameplay flow etc but turns out you can't always get the full picture from a few mins of marketing materials

I still like how it looks fwiw but it's much lower on the priority list thanks to others' sacrifice

The marketing was good and the game's got a slick production. It just sucks to play. Ok that's a bit harsh but it's not super fun.
