PoE Reviews

Why exactly would Sensuki respect the NDA?

He is hoping for a job?

Maybe because Avellone called Codex unprofessional and Sensuki does not want to prove him right.

Maybe the answer is in that video "about me". If anyone can point me to a part where he reaches puberty i would appreciate it.

Spoiler

man i have to leave these around everytime now because nobody gets anything anymore...

You watched that video? Are you his #1 fan?

stuff

at the link

Sorry, these thoughts will have to wait due to the embargo!

lmao. has a link to his patreon - and his real name - in his sig too.

Matt Webb, you are dumber than a bag of hammers

LoL, i linked the post just in time before it was canceled.

Btw, why u said "Fluent aka Mazisky"? Did you really think he was me? Didn't you read the "I found this comment on the net" quote?

I like purple nights btw.

I didnt get further then "i was born" man. Didnt i just said so?

 

[Sensuki]

Someone on the Obsidian boards asked for blue night time I think, personally I just preferred dark night time, but whatevs I guess

 

[Urthor]

Purple night isn't linked to the souls aspect, and the general purpley theme of the art design?

Seems like if you link nights as bluey purpley with the bluey purpley of the souls, then you've got a visual mechanic where you've got two very scary things reinforcing each other.

I heard from reliable source that final reviews will also have NDAs

For example:

- at any moment given in review you are not allowed to say "fun"
- you are not allowed to say that you slept with avellone for score
- if your nick is roguey we want to remind you that you have court order to not get near Obsidian by 500m. Please leave us alone.

Quill18 posted a few videos of the game.

Here's the first one: https://youtu.be/u96bzh-3Eyk

I haven't watched them yet.

 

[Mazisky]

Combat music seems excellent!!! Justin did an awesome job

Sensuki, according to game files, can i know how many combat tracks there are? i've listened 4 of them in streams

 

[Sensuki]

NDAsoz

 

[Mazisky]

I knew that, damn!

Np man, i understand

 

[Whisper]

I've just watched stream..

Looks like Baldur's Gate remake (even cursor is from BG and style of icon/art!).
I still remember combat in BG: either you click pause every few seconds or its just total RTS mess.

 

[Blackguard]

Isn't the streaming embargo supposed to end in like 5 minutes now?

 

[MicoSelva]

Is there a separate embargo for streaming/LP content and for reviews? I thought they were the same (and ended today).

 

[Mazisky]

Yep.

Reviews embargo 26th march.
Streams embargo 23th march (they can stream only the first act).

 

[Blackguard]

There are now plenty of people streaming PoE on twitch.

So, once more youtubers get access to the game before backers do. Another company joins my list of 'never pledge to their kickstarter again'.

Embargoing reviews until release day is stupid, by the way, because it implies they have something to hide. Assassin's Creed Unity had such an embargo too. Meh.

Oh come on, you really stop supporting Obsidian just because of this? The game has a solid release day, sending out press copies is industry standard.

I do not care about review copies, I do care about YT/Twitch retards LPing/streaming the game today, while I have to wait to play it 3 more days. This just feels wrong.

Start your own youtube channel?

Supporting a kickstarter with your own money and simultaneously lamenting it for making sound business decisions is fairly contradictory behavior.

 

[Ellef]

Like getting it for near half price wasn't good enough.

Kinda glad they went the streamer/youtuber route (and quite heavily at that it seems, geeesh it's everywhere today!). Really helps people tune in to people who play games like they do (or close to it) and see how the game handles, before committing themselves.

You could also just... wait to buy it?
