Hmmm... Sony's biggest exclusive of the year gets its lowest score from Polygon.Com.

Polygon is owned by Vox Media.

Something seems fishy here and I can't put my finger on it.

At&T strikes again!!!!

I plan to buy it when it goes to steam, looks smexy.

You ain't going to believe what game I am playing right now. Nor my reaction to it.

I am under emabrgo though, can't say anything until the next podcast.

A recent game? That is shocking.

GG I tried to talk about Lego City at GS and just got "I', sick of lego games". "That is why the Wii U lineup stuff, the best game is Lego City"

So yeah.

Personally I think Lego City should be seen as Wii U's first system seller. It's even feasible that some reviewers just played through the campaign which is literally only one third of the game.

Unfortunately for City, it's being tarnished by the series heritage, people cannot see outside that. In the GAF thread, if you read from page 41 onwards it peaks at a certain point when people realise how much fun they are having and they love it. It took me 13 hours to get to that point and then I had another 47 hours with it. People who don't like the Lego games, or who have played the others, found this to be much better. A GAF guy said it was his GOTY so far and at the point I was playing it I could not see it. Then if you do get hooked by the collecting bug and try to do it all it becomes your potential GOTY. It's just brash, exuberant and unabashedly gamey. To me it's a shame that Zombi U is seen as the best game on the system.

GAF individual users:

"So I beat the story mode just now and let me tell you guys that you have no idea what is waiting for you. This goes from 80's cop movie to (massive end game spoilers cropped). Holy crap this was goddamn amazing, my jaw was to the floor for the entire final sections. Nintendo, lock these guys down. You would be fools not too. This game needs a sequel so bad. I never saw this coming, I never dreamed it would get so epic."

"So far this game has exceeded my expectations, the world is more detailed and interesting than 90% of the open world games on the market. Its smaller than most but the attention to detail is better than anything ive played this gen besides red dead redemption. Also the voice acting and sound track is top notch. Ive played almost all of the lego games and this is by far the best, just wish it had co-op "

"Im really blown away by the writing in this game, its really clever and has made me laugh a lot. Also it seems like every inch of the map has somthing to do or collect. I really hope the game does well"

"If you have a Wii U you need to buy this game! The 49.99 price makes it even more of a steal. No more thinking... go find a copy (if you can! "

"Wow, this game is truly something special. I am having a blast with it, and I can't imagine how much fun I would have had when I was ten. So far my mission play time:scavenging-around-for-super-bricks play time ratio is like 1:4. Nintendo would be wise to keep this developer happy and exclusive as long as they can. Lego City has the potential to be a huge franchise, especially if someone were smart enough to make a cartoon."

"Aside from the ridiculous load times, this is by far my favorite game on the Wii U. It's humor is absolutely brilliant and it's a lot of fun. Would love to see this become a big franchise on the Wii U."

"No seriously man, GET THIS GAME. It's a hilarious, intensely fun, addictive open-world collecathon that feels like a blast from the past. It's also great value for your money--the game is hundreds of hours long if you want to 100% it."

"I can say with confidence that LEGO City Undercover has been the most fun, most addictive, and most hilarious experience that I've had with the Wii U. It would be my #1 recommended game for anyone who is looking to buy a Wii U, and in my opinion, it's a reason to go out and buy the console now. It's a TRUE video game."

"Ive put 10 hours into this game and this might be my favorite open world game, you can tell the love and care put into it every corner you turn in the city. The game is filled to the brim with little touches and details, there literally something to do everywhere you look."

"Overall, this game is amazing. It's doesn't set the world on fire but it does so much and does it so well that I almost forgive all of its shortcomings. I see myself keeping my copy as a permanent staple in my Wii U catalogue."

"This game just gets better as it goes and is overall a better game than I'd have suspected. I think as word of mouth spreads it will have some legs to it and have an impact on wiiu sales. After Mario this is the must have wiiu title."

"This game is awesome. So many corny jokes, all delivered by such good voice actors. Each mission has been a delight. The city design is just outstanding too; maybe the best in any GTA clone. I've spent hours goofing around and I've been finding optional paths, jumps, bricks, easter eggs, and mini-missions every few minutes. I especially love the free run missions, which are like little slices of platforming joy."

"The more I play this game, the higher up the list of "favorite open world games" this game rises. This game is really incredible. Just unlocked time trials, so fun. I can't believe I am saying this, but this game has a real chance of unseating San Andreas for me."

Last of Us reviews

^This is not just present in gaming, but everything. It is ingrained into our very culture, in fact.

Also, Clementine was only part of why the ending of The Walking Dead was effective. She as a character by herself also wasn't the emotional core of the story.

(NOT REALLY A) SPOILER: Go here! It has an incredibly similar premise to The Last of Us, but it has a lot of very unique features too. It's basically an action-RPG-Zombie game. You need to earn influence and Fame in order to gain command of groups of people around you to have them fight for you and with you, build fortifications and fend for themselves when you are not playing because the game is A PERSISTENT WORLD; game continues when you are playing and when you are not! It's very possible to load your game and find all of your people DEAD! There's (supposedly) a lot of data crunching in the background as you play as your decisions influence the world around you... yada, yada... but I couldn't go into detail about that as I have only played an hour or so. Read the review! It can explain much better than I can!
