In fact, I didn't really hear much buzz before OR after its release, but having heard some with the GOTY season upon us, it sounds like it might be worth a playthrough.
Also, in the case of Until Dawn, I'm not a horror movie person. I enjoy horror in games because they generally don't make you feel helpless in the same way movies do, but Until Dawn was very intentionally aping horror movies, so I'm definitely not qualified to pass judgement on that (and would likely not enjoy it since I don't know the "language" as it were).
Prem-aka-Prince said:...erm, the title says this is the Staff vote, not the editorial board vote... we're not the Cannes Film Festival, the TT staff are just regular gamers.There's a lot of things going into that as well. Unlike traditional outlets, we don't have a centralized office where the staff could get together to hash it out. Hell, half of the staff is living 5-8 hours in the future!
This was our first attempt at this. As the site grows, and as the staff grows with it, we'll hopefully be able to refine the process some. Just for context, editorial has only really begun to branch out (aside from reviews), starting with the Just Cause 3 spotlight on November 27th. That's only six weeks ago =). We're far from perfect, but we're working.
We're going to do our best to make things better, promise! But feel free to share feedback, because that's how we get better!
