    People should now start receiving their review copies from DS. But DS for the love of God and all that exists give copies out to people who have actually played the full game and understand the story. There is nothing more off putting than to hear yet another stupid review.

    I've seen some pretty shitty reviews / early impressions already. :rolleyes:

    Yes DS please, it's a real turn off for a review when one of the first few sentences is, "I didn't play the first game."

    I though that DS only sends copies to the game sites/magazines, and they decide who is gonna review it.

    No mate, they give it out to people who have Youtube channels too and even people on Neogaf are getting it for free for some reason.

    Also it seems that AMD users are having problems with the game based on what I read at NeoGaf:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=554662

    Can anyone, mods, admins who have got their copy post a proper critical review? Whether video or written on your impressions on the game. A PC review with proper fps figures on all settings, benchmarks, smoothness etc will be appreciated.

    Seriously DS you need to crack down on the YT walkthroughs and lock them. People on PC, XBOX and PS3 are playing this already and publishing walkthroughs. The game isn't out until next week, so how are PC people managing to play this on Steam?

    Well I'll be playing on Xbox so I won't be able to give any PC specifics but I will give my thoughts on the game once I've played through it.

    Ok, enough waffle I need to hunt the reviews and make a thread. :p

    I'm flagging YouTube walkthroughs left and right, but so far it has only been one YouTuber who was on a press list. He had it scheduled to go up too early by mistake.

    The rest? People who grabbed early retail copies from friends at retailers and the like, I guess. Flagging the hell out of them!

    You can't decide who reviews a game when it comes to a bigger outlet, but I'd like to think they pick the best person for the job :)

    There's an embargo, which means press always gets annoyed when they save their content while other people go wild with it. Plus spoilers! From Monday onwards everyone is good to go as far as I'm concerned.

    On the upside all the comments on these walkthroughs are pretty positive.

    45 mins to go until our Metro stations will be flooded with reviews. That's right 5pm GMT the embargo lifts.
