93 is the correct answer. I think it's going to score very well.

It's going to get a 95 just like TLOU. Maybe a 96.
That's your opinion. Considering who it was who made that post, I ignore it.

Not an opinion, a fact.

People are setting themselves up for a disappointment. Expecting a 94 or above is almost impossible now a days. Especially for a fourth game in a series.

TLOU: R scored in the mid 90s and that was a rerelease of a PS3 game.
I don't think it's an unrealistic prediction for U4

Yea, that was pretty surprising.
what? the person who decides to collect and quote a bunch of posts doesn't change the intent of those quoted posts
I'm expecting overly generous reviews, tbh. High profile games usually get A LOT of slack from reviewers when they probably shouldn't.

The guy doing the UC4 review for Gamespot said that it made him want to watch all of the Indiana Jones movies. Weird!

Nothing wrong with Mama Robotnik.
What. This gen especially, reviewers have been much more critical of these triple-A games. The highest console game on meta right now is at what...93? Most games end up receiving scores around the 80s.

Let's predict the criticism:
-A.I partners get in the way and break stealth immersion
-Some areas are too large for their own good and lack cohesiveness
-No massive "wow" setpiece series is known for
-Story feels too dark
-Slow beginning
-One dimensional villain
Hey...who is the villain anyway? Is it just Nadine? I don't recall the main villain at all. Hopefully he/she is less boring than the grandma in UC3.

I guess that's a good thing? I dunno.
P.S. Pretty crazy to me that Gamespot gave TLOU 8/10 and for such weird reasons. Kinda dumb.

I'm predicting at least a 93, I'm hoping for a 95 or 96

I find it so odd when people get mad at posters for obsessing over reviews...in review threads. Go figure. It's like when people get mad about focusing on sales and not quality...in sales threads.

The AI wasn't particularly great though? It didn't live up to the AI behavior shown during TLoU's E3 presentation I believe?
The puzzles weren't great either.

Sure, I'll give it a go.
Best Uncharted yet, scores between 89 & 94. I'm leaning specifically towards 91 or 92.

or complaining about focusing on frame rates and resolution in a technical thread
The puzzles weren't amazing, but they were only a very minor part of the game. The (enemy) AI is some of the best in the business imo, though like any game they're still privy to stupidity on the rare occasion.
Now that you mention it though, Gamespot were factually wrong about DriveClub's AI too, claiming the AI above all else rigidly follows the race line, which simply is not true. I have personally experimented and tested as much, and have hundreds of hours in to the game. There's even video evidence online to the contrary.

There weren't any puzzles in TLOU. There were a few "how do I climb this/how do I get across this" sections. If the reviewer thought those were puzzles and marked the game down for being bad ones.... That's stupid.

The point is that neither one detracted from the game NEARLY enough to warrant a drop to 8/10. Puzzles weren't a focus of the game at all and for good reason. The AI was way better than most comparable games.
While waiting for the festivities ( I probably won't make it), I thought I'd watch old UC trailers. This is the best.

I dont even really consider any of the environmental object movements in that game as puzzles. So it seems like a weird complaint. Unless they just got tired of it.
Now, as far as Uncharted puzzles go, they are always super easy, time filler.
Like, you look at your little book, and just do it. It's only really there to pace the action. Which is okay I guess.
I really wish puzzles had their own difficulty level, and that they were genuine puzzles that had a logic/rule worth solving.
I would love to be stumped on a puzzle. But the "puzzles" in Uncharted were never like that.

dont forget the palette
and that one time you had to go underwater to get the palette
The 100th time I've seen someone say this. You all are setting yourself for disappointment. I could see one person having a meltdown and then see everyone quoting that one dude saying stuff like OMG GAF HIVE MIND OVERREACTING

Are reviews for sure pouring in, in about 2 hours?
Or is it just the time the embargo is lifted? I want to sleep

Everyone's holding a tight ship on this one...
why wouldn't it be as bad as the uncharted 3 review thread?
It doesn't matter who made the post, it doesn't change the nonsense people were on in that thread. That stuff is indefensible.

Reviewers got copies pretty early, so I imagine that most of them are written and scheduled to be published.

The intent of the quoted posts, like the obvious sarcasm in many of them? That post is the definition of "padded out."
Because people have been talking about that UC3 thread the entire fucking week... if it's anyone it will be unaware fanboy juniors.

I'm a miserable bastard.
I kind of want the game to get panned, not because I want the people looking forward to playing the game to be disappointed, but the ensuing thread would be hilarious and legendary.
I'm sure the game will be great and well reviewed.

Look at the sheer number of posts over the weeks from people who can't wait for or are genuinely anticipating or excited for meltdowns. I have no doubt what you're describing will be the case. More people quoting the rare meltdown than actual meltdowns.

Who's review will leak first?
gamespot is pretty leaky these days.
