This will be the first game I've played since October. Have to wait until Christmas when I get home from Japan. I hope it's good. I've been waiting since the first teaser images of the chain lol.

Not sure how critics will take to it but I hope we can at least avoid any "10 years of development and this is all they have to show?" Comments from the bigger sites. That FUD is irritating enough on here alone without it being perpetuated by an uninformed media.

I feel like a Ueda game deserves a nice, clean, and rare one of these:
The Last Guardian |OT|

We're not going to see another one of these in a while. No joke you can write is going to actually be funny here. Yeah we know it took a while, so what?

... It feels so wrong that I made this gif

back when the Guardian said the game would be at e3 2015, and I am not even getting the game on release. I am a fraud.
 
Finally saw a commercial during Drunk History. I think could sell well if Sony really pushes the marketing for this during the holiday season.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

I've seen the commercial on multiple channels in prime time slots including FX. They have been pushing it far more than I really expected. Then again its their only major first party game releasing this Holiday.

Edit: Its also about to hit 4 million views on youtube too.

OT suggestion:

The Last Guardian [OT] The Last Adventure :-(

This is the last full-blown project from Team ICO since Ueda decided to leave and finish up the project on a contract basis.
 
I have no connection to any ico games, including this one. For whatever reason I have this strong feeling in my balls that this will be a 90+.

Low 80s, thought I think it largely depends on how reviewers these days are receptive to story in games as opposed to gameplay. Funnily enough this game would have been a low 90 if it came out last gen due to the nature of console exclusives and the idea that good story absolved all sins.... these days reviewers are a lot harsher in that regard, just look at Mafia III as opposed to Dishonored 2.

But the game seems all about the gameplay. It isn't a Virginia or something

It may be story-driven but it certainly doesn't look like story over gameplay

Been considering it as something closer to The Witness rather than a Firewatch or something
What's special about it? I'm in Japan and haven't looked at the different versions yet.
Small art book+ cool slip cover.

In the states I have to buy a dumb statue if I want the art book

I see. I don't know if we'll find out before launch whether the JP version includes English, but that sort of info eventually makes its way to the Gaijin Gamers forum at least.
