    I didn't even think of twitch streaming.

    Watched someone play Spiderman 2 the morning of launch when it was up for digital download.

    At that point I didn't bother reading reviews, I could tell I didn't want to spend $60 on it. Not because it wasn't playing well, but because it didn't look that fun to me, and for the price.

    However, actually having control of the game is the true test. I can't stand watching people play certain games, but love when I am playing it.

    Review embargos?

    Doesn't really bother me as I try not to read reviews. I can understand why a lot of people would be worried about review embargos, but I also understand why developers have them.

    Wolfenstein is really good fun.

    You'd be foolish to miss it.

    Pretty much 8gb for a patch?

    I would expect that sort of size on my PC where they must account for different hardware configurations but on a console?

    Ya it's a big patch and I can't even understand what it's for. The article I linked is the only one I can find that explains it at all and I still don't get it.

    I usually know everything about a game before it drops, I like reading reviews, but I never determine what I will buy based on someone else's opinion.

    For Wolfenstein at least you didn't buy it for the PC and get hit with a mandatory 10GB patch.

    I have Wolfenstein coming at me in the post. I'm glad that it's turned out good, can't remember the last time I played a FPS with a radial menu.

    Review embargos?

    If a game gets positive reviews the embargo usually breaks early. This is worrying as I am looking forward to wolfenstein, but I've seen some horrendous AI footage. Watch dogs is another that's been getting a negative response. Maybe game companies should
    lay off on the amount of hype they create. It's too much and often ends up falling short of peoples expectations.

    Review Embargos

    After reading most reviews on Ryse they made it sound like hot garbage, glad I bought it to find out that is actually very good and quite challenging to master.
