Just remember everyone:

I'm not a big Uncharted 3 fan, but that part is one the best in the series.

Edit: dammit double post.

Not just a part of me, but the whole of me hopes that all the people like you are disappointed.

yeah wanting a game to be mediocre just to see a few outrageous post for some cheap laughs is weird

 

[StrongBlackVine]

A part of me secretly hopes it's below expectations so we can get a wall of posts from users condemning the entire media industry.

It's no secret. You just put it out for the world to see. It's not a good look.

Oh shit! What have I done? What a world, what a world...

(As if I'm actually serious that I want the game to suck? But it's obvious shit's too high strung right now so I'll just run my ass off, hope the game's good y'all)

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Playing through the collection now. Will pick up 4 once completed.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Phediuk]

I stand by my prediction of 89 Metascore.

 

[True Fire]

Waiting for reviews never goes well lol. I'm personally waiting for the meltdowns.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Oh shit! What have I done? What a world, what a world...

Tis true that no one in real life will know that you have such a petty way of thinking.

 

[Complicated]

There's some touchy people in here already at the joking suggestion of bad scores. Gonna be one hell of a review thread no matter which way you look at it.

Expecting meltdowns is different than actively wanting one.

Last time there was an Uncharted release, a self professed Nintendo fan took it upon himself to shame those in the thread with a ridiculous Wall of Shame post where 75% of the posts were made in jest. It's obvious some people want to see the game shine, some people want to see the game fail, and some just want to see the world burn.

No way this is less than mid 90s.

Haha seriously

 

[the-pi-guy]

Yeah. 93 minimum is what I'm thinking right now.

 

[Hawk269]

Any predictions on which major site is going to give it a well below average score? There is always one site that seems to go way against the grain on high profile games, just curious which site it will be this time?

 

[jjonez18]

One youtuber (Robingaming) who will be putting up his review in a couple of hours says that they were not allowed to upload footage from their own play throughs. Says that Sony gave them a 10 minute packet full of cutscenes and gameplay. Seems like we'll get new, never before seen, spoilery footage, but it won't be much and it'll be the same few clips across all reviews.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Yeah. 93 minimum is what I'm thinking right now.

I'm not arguing one way or the other in terms of what is justified. That's just my prediction.

I don't think any will on this one. The "lowest" score of expect from one of the majors is 9.

 

[petethepanda]

I'm not too concerned with the actual scores, but this is the most excited I've been in a while to just see what reviews wind up being like. The Hype finally got to me.

 

[Rembrandt]

89-93

 

[-Horizon-]

The game will review well. 90+ Below 95
Everything I've read here and there have seemed to point to it being a really good game.

 

[Quonny]

Five minutes until a couple outlets leak it!

 

[Hawk269]

Five minutes until a couple outlets leak it!

Any info on which sites may break a little early?

Lol no.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Well, time for me to call it a night. I expect this place to be burning down no matter how it goes though.

If it gets a few reviews with low reviews, this place burns. If it meets or even exceeds review expectations, this place burns.

See y'all on the other side!

My money's on Polygon. Among less major outlets, GameCritics and Quarter to Three. If DocSeuss is doing a review, his too lol.

 

[everyday math]

My body is ready. I'm going with around 95. I like being positive.

If you're talking about this post, I'm sorry but a lot of those obviously aren't made in jest, that shit is embarrassing and deserved to be called out.

Hopefully it doesn't go down like that this time.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Review thread gonna be like

 

[cameron]

Where are my leaks? Post more terrible tumblr gifs.

 

[ChasingComets]

No way this is less than mid 90s.

While it would be a pleasant surprise, the trend for the last two years has been showing a decline for the cinematic action adventure games, with the big scorers centering around "open world" multi-faceted titles. I'm expecting anywhere 85 to 95 depending on how tight the campaign is, which could turn out into a Last of Us situation.

 

[Hawk269]

I was thinking the same thing..I can see Giant bomb potentially, but Polygon is my bet.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Whose got the review thread honors?

lol...

 

[Rozart]

If I flip out on some poor soul's 7.5/10 review, know that I was not myself, gaf. The UC early impressions thread is dangerous with its infectious hype.

Remember me as I lived, not as I died,

 

[jeffram]

I was thinking the same thing..I can see Giant bomb potentially, but Polygon is my bet.

Dan is reviewing it, and he lists Uncharted 2 as one of his favourite games, so I think Giant Bomb will give a good score.

 

[brickarts295]

Still sticking to 94.

 

[TimeEffect]

Dammit, this review thread makes me think Uncharted is coming out like the day after.

5 more days :'(

 

[I-hate-u]

Dan is reviewing it, and he lists Uncharted 2 as one of his favourite games, so I think Giant Bomb will give a good score.

Or he will be more critical of it since he likes U2 so much.

He'll hold it a higher standard.

 

[-griffy-]

Where are my leaks? Post more terrible tumblr gifs.

 

[Memento]

I am betting on UC4 being better than UC2 and as good as TLOU, but it wont surpass their metascores (which is 96 UC2 and 95 TLOU) based on the trend of reviews being way more critical this gen.

So my final bet is

Spoiler

93

But who knows, it is fucking Naughty Dog. If there is one studio that could broke that trend, this is it.

 

[A-V-B]

ok sorry I gotta ask

who makes these? Is it one person whose style this is, or...?

It's tumblr.

Gamespot gave the Last Of Us an 8 because of the "AI" and simple puzzles.

 

[Opt1kon_]

Is anyone else like me and doesn't really care about the review scores (unless their terrible). I mean I doubt this game gets less than 8 on MC. I'm still buying it, its the 4 entry in a great series from a great studio. Can't wait to play. My two cents.

I'm in here for the glorious meltdowns & the hilarious GIFs and Memes that ensue

 

[A-V-B]

It's tumblr.

If this is closest answer possible, perhaps we have already invented the Borg.

 

[etta]

Holy shit this game is coming out on Tuesday.
Almost done my 4th playthrough for The Last of Us, I should try to finish it soon.

 

[CHC]

you asked for 'em

 

[Stoze]

ok sorry I gotta ask

Tumblr. They all have a similar style because tumblr has bad gif size restrictions so they are always short and shitty quality with some filter to help hide it.
