I've made sure to ask every person who has a leaked copy this question and so far they have all said aiming feels nice and responsive. Don't take this as confirmation as some people aren't sensitive to this stuff, but definitely a good sign.

This guy gets it.
They fixed it in a patch pretty quickly, it's an option you need to turn on in a menu because for some reason they don't want to admit the default controls were a mess. UC3 that is.

Predicting a 91 on this sucker.
Someone will give it a 6 guaranteed. Probably no 5 or under though.
Yeah, and it'll probably be polygon. Considering what they game tlou, a 7 game making their own game of the year list at number 4.
This is a big game coming out and I'm sure more than one place will any to give it a low score just for clicks as well. Angry fanboys going to sites with lost scores is still money. It happen for halo, happened with qb, will happen here

Gonna go with 94. Here's hoping for the first 100 though

Are reviewers giving lower scores or have the truly outstanding games of this gen not arrived yet?
I'm going with the latter.
I think it will be Gone with the Wind of video games.

Really? I may have to go back and check it out. I think I completed the game before the patch was released.
Thanks! A good sign indeed.

I'm hoping for One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest.
Switch characters for graphics and that sounds about right.

If is the latter, we only have to wait until May 5th for it to be rectified!
lol
Yeah they brought two gaffers in to the office to explain the problem! Patched it like a week or two later iirc.
High 80's is my conservative guess.
I simply can't see them topping TLOU and/or Uncharted 2 and even if they did, the experience is going to be less mindblowing because those games already exist. That doesn't mean I am not extremely excited for the game, but i'd like to keep my expectations reasonable.
The people in here going crazy for anyone even suggesting a <90 metacritic are the same people that'll likely end up on mama robotnik's wall of fame part 2, I guess. People don't always like the same things you like and that's okay. Try not to go overboard.

Hahahah, what. I didn't realize polygon put TLOU on their game of the year list. So it tied with Bioshock Infinite (which they gave a 10) at #4.

I say the lowest meta out of the mainline Uncharted but by far the best game. The combat and AI improvements seem legit, plus ND is in their prime right now, on top of the game. Plus BB and dark Souls 3 only managed 90-92 and they are nearly perfect: P
I really hope mods are diligent in the review thread. When a review inevitably gets a 7, you are going to have 10:1 posts preemptively trolling the one person who bites. "Uh oh", " here they come " etc is supremely annoying.

Naughty Dog kind of oversold the game in the beginning with that 60FPS trailer. I think if this scene is in the game, it scores a 95 easily. If it's not probably closer to the lower end of 90s.

Wat? I didn't know this.
That was the goty list for the site. The review was done by one person.
http://www.polygon.com/2014/1/14/5305024/polygons-games-of-the-year-2013-4-tie-last-of-us
The review is done by one person but the score is done by the reviewer going into a meeting with the editors and deciding what the score is
This. This gleeful pre-emptive handwringing at the mere thought of a low score hitting just for the reactions is getting very obnoxious.
And yeah, like you said, these posts likely outnumber the actual reactions ten to one. It's basically just trying to stir up the hornet's nest.
I think it might have been TP, but I'm not sure. In any case, people overreacting to bad scores is universal. It just got exacerbated by it being for Uncharted 3 and quite a few fans of Nintendo and MS getting a kick out of Sony fans in a tizzy.
So.
Those editors probably hadn't played the game and just took what the reviewer said and decided the score based on that. Maybe when the rest of the site played the game, they were all more positive about it than the reviewer, which is why it ended up on their goty list.
I agree with this. Just as obnoxious as the people attacking reviewers
Wow love hearing how meaty the campaign is. I know they said it was the longest, but I wasn't sure how much longer they meant. Sounds significant if it is in the 14+ hour area. Has me even more hyped. (I have been avoiding any threads on the game for fear of spoilers, so that is why I'm saying this here... haha.)
Review thread will be pretty embarrassing when a site dares to give this game an 8 or even lower.
And what's wrong with that? I don't see a contradiction there considering the views of one reviewer may not correspondent with the views of the whole site staff.
Of course it has to be clickbait. It's impossible that a reviewer does not see a new Uncharted game as 10/10, the second coming of Jesus or Citizen Kane of video games.

If graphics is the only metric, Order 1886 should have scored 101.

From what i've played of the beta it has easily the best shooting in the series.

I haven't played UC3 (I'm working on it!) but the beta for UC4 played wonderfully.
Are the hitboxes much better? I remember having a hard time getting headshots in U3 compared to the previous two.
There are plenty of places that review any media divisively to get clicks. Whether its from music, movies, tv and yes even video games. To think that everyone is ethical is also blindly believing everyone is good. Of course people will have varying degrees of scores whether they like it or not, but there are always sites that will go beyond just preference of a score and do it to get clicks.
You're scoffing attitude that clickbate articles and reviews are just people complaining about preference does not make the reality that some places do write reviews with the specific intent of clicksbait.

Yep. I'll go with that. Bombastic finale and highest rated PS4 game
This was.... hmmm.

Can it dethrone Gaming's Citizen Kane though?

Truly embarrassing. Reads like a comment thread on N4G.
Isn't it a bit premature screaming "CLICKBAIT!" before reviews are even out? Uncharted 2 lowest review on Meta is 8/10. Is that already clickbait? Because you say there are always some sites doing this.
Where do you draw the line between legitimate opinion and clickbait? Is it strictly numerical?
