This is brilliant, but I didn't want to know that much about how it ends. That's the sort of narrative approach detail I nerdgasm about, as a writer.

I wanted to see how it happened first-hand :'(

Then why are you reading the R eviews? It's not a spoiler to say that the game ends well :-/

 

[xorx]

TW 3 is 92.

93 on PC.

I hope you guys dont give me second hand embarrassment.

TW 3 is 92.

Not on PC it isn't.

 

[zsynqx]

Most boring outcome really

Exactly around what most were predicting, including myself.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

I'm not gonna watch or read any of the reviews. I'm just gonna look at the pretty scores and wait for my game to arrive.

the comments here should keep you occupied until Tuesday

 

[illmatic22]

The best part of the game is when Nate stops what he's doing and watches trailers for Horizon, Final Fantasy XV, and Call of Duty. ITS ALL CONNECTED

 

[Fady K]

Honestly this gen critics are seemingly a lot harsher with games than I remember in previous gens. Having all these high scores in a gen like this is a testament to how incredible the game must be. It could be slightly disappointing if Uncharted 3 (surprised IGN gave this a 10) averages higher.

 

[Shambala]

No meltdowns. I'm loving it so far

 

[EekumBokum]

Goddamn at that animation quality.

 

[Markitron]

the comments here should keep you occupied until Tuesday

It's been fairly tame so far, everyone learned their lesson it seems.

I'll bet there won't even be any greyed out names by the end of the day.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Not on PC it isn't.

We always go by the version with the most reviews.

 

[Exodust]

I can't wait till an under 8 review comes in so we can have the classic meltdowns we've been waiting for.

 

[Gurish]

Some of the highest scoring games of this gen were The Witcher 3 (93), MGSV (93), Bloodborne (92).

So Uncharted 4 is looking good!

Some expected 96 or 97, people don't understand that era of review scores is not coming back.

Only Rockstar's GTA6 might be able to do it (considering shitty GTA4's 98 MC), but I'm not sure even with that.

They certainly won't get another 98 this gen.

 

[Elfstruck]

Most boring outcome really

Exactly around what most were predicting, including myself.

Are you saying that you expected IGN to give a 8.8?

 

[TimeEffect]

The review complaining about not being able to talk to your enemies, trick them, etc is so damn strange

This isnt Witcher. And I normally hate it when people tear apart lower scores, but that is such a madeup complaint

Like, how does it make sense to expect that?

Yeah, fair play.

Our review in Chinese (VGTime): http://www.vgtime.com/eval/139965.jhtml

10/10

+Sensational graphics and presentation
+New mechanics greatly enhance platforming and combat experiences
+Cohesive story, deep characters, fantastic cinematic moments
+Beefy campaign and fun collectibles

+Some long loading times

The reviewer is from UCG right? Did he leave?

 

[malfcn]

IGN's Battleborne review which is in the same thing Uncharted 4's is, was under in-progress/unscored, so that.

I don't follow Metacritic too closely, how long have they been doing that? I thought it was "you have one score" no matter what.

I've only played the first Uncharted. Maybe I should finally catch up. ☺

 

[Backfoggen]

Lol

 

[CJCW]

Spoiler

Jak & Daxter. 1. Not 2 or 3. 1.

No joke I'd love that.

 

[UpwindPoet24]

Hmm there seems to be more outrage over ign's non-score thingy than Jim's 8.5 or the other 8.0s.

 

[brickarts295]

10 perfect score so far. Will it reach 40?
Both U2 and TLOU had between 90 to 100 reviews. So far we are in the 30s.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Down to a 93! WTF ND YOU SCRUBS.

I expected that in my previous posts. I hope that it will at least get 95 but in reality it will be around 93.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Is it me or has no game exceeded 93 MC this whole generation?

 

[eFKac]

93 on PC.

Over twice as many reviews on the PS4 version, we usually go here with the most reviewed meta.

 

[VanWinkle]

If it stays at 94, it will be the highest rated new game of this generation as far as I can tell (I'm not counting MGSV on XB1 since it only had 10 critics and was primarily reviewed on PS4).

 

[Ellite25]

Some expected 96 or 97, people don't understand that era of review scores is not coming back.

Only Rockstar's GTA6 might be able to do it (considering shitty GTA4's 98 MC), but I'm not sure even with that.

Agreed, there's been a definite shift in review scores the last few years. The best of the best get 90-93 now.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

93 on PC.

Not on PC it isn't.

TW 3 has 79 reviews for PS4 compared to just 32 for PC. Hence the definitive score is the PS4 version here. That's how it works.

 

[I-hate-u]

Some of the highest scoring games of this gen were The Witcher 3 (93), MGSV (93), Bloodborne (92).

So Uncharted 4 is looking good!

Did they play the same MGSV I played, or the one that came with Chapter 3?

 

[Superflat]

Sitting at 94 on metcritic atm, a little while ago it actually reached 96. Pretty incredible.

 

[Toki767]

GameInformer gave it a 9.5

 

[m4st4]

IGN's 'temporarily' is such a bore.

 

[TrojanBlade]

Are they waiting for the MP to play and then decide the final verdict?

Great scores and well deserved for the best developer in the industry.

 

[nib95]

Uncharted 2 has amazing pacing and better set pieces. Uncharted 4 has the best story, looks amazing, and tries real hard on those set pieces.

But from a gameplay systems perspective, would you not say the elements introduced are actually a fairly conscious effort to evolve from previous iterations? The grapple, the wide linear level design, multiple pathways, introduction of vehicles, tagging, more dynamic options with combat etc. I get that it's not going to offer as big a surprise in terms of overall impact, which goes without saying for sequels, but to my mind ND has actually made some pretty valiant attempts to switch things up, whilst still keeping to the historic franchise flavour. Point being, I'm not sure I'd personally scold the game for a lack of innovation or impact, but that's just me.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

93 on PC.

Not on PC it isn't.

Only 30 reviews when the PS4 version has 80

 

[viHuGi]

Lol

Loooooool

 

[sjay1994]

I can't wait till an under 8 review comes in so we can have the classic meltdowns we've been waiting for.

Wait on that quartertothree review where the game will get a 4.

 

[Grief51]

As I've maintained, difference standards in the industry now. People are looking for "open-world" multi-faceted titles (evident already in some of the reviews criticizing the linearity) as opposed to games that do one or two things, even if it does it extremely well.

Personally I LOVE the linearity of Uncharted and TLOU. It allows for a much more precise fine-tuning of pacing and cram more detail into the environment.
I'll take a well-crafted linear game over an open-world game any day.
I'm sick of games that are like "drive around for 30 minutes and check boxes on a big map" Ubisoft-style.

 

[VanCityGamer]

Interesting. Lucy from IGN gave both Uncharted 4 and Until Dawn below the MC average. I wonder how many others on the IGN staff would have reviewed the game below a 9. I'm guessing not many.

 

[Zoggy]

lets see if you guys can control yourselves if a "negative" review comes out

 

[Loudninja]

ND really are so fantastic devs.

 

[Nappuccino]

As a massive ND fan, I'm more than OK with these reviews.

 

[Sjefen]

Great reviews. Just watched Gamespot review, holy cow it gave me goose bumps.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Does someone have a nice gif for the OP ?

 

[zsynqx]

Looks like IGN going for the clicks...Are they waiting for the MP to play and then decide the final verdict?

Great scores and well deserved for the best developer in the industry.

Nope, just someone with a different opinion. IGN don't need clicks.

 

[Reg]

All these 10s. Fucking delicious!

 

[Gurish]

Not on PC it isn't.

93 on PC.

PC got 32 reviews compared to PS4's 79, you go with the version that has the most reviews.

It's 92.
