That's pretty cool. I'm surprised they'd be transparent about cover.

I plan to keep moving as much as possible. Don't like hiding behind a wall!

Over my 14 hours, I only spent... 37 minutes behind cover. I jumped into cover 226 times. Stealth killed 100 dudes out of 552 total. 116 headshots.
 
Metacritic review aggregates are spotty and don't necessarily reflect the grand scheme of things. Technically Metal Gear Solid 5 has aggregated higher than both Witcher 3 and Bloodborne- and a majority of people including fans, will agree that assesment is poor at best.

I want numbers for that. Some ragethreads from fans on GAF are not the majority. So please stop with that bullshit narrative.
 
Back up to 94 with 57 reviews

WTF MC is on 47 reviews and 93 for me, refreshed it 100 times and it won't change, weird bug.
 
He's played all the games to completion. That's all you need, as a critic to comment on how the last game is in relation to the series.

Also, if it takes someone who points out the flaws of the series up to this point (which I'm agreed with him on about prev 3 games having bad AI, mediocre shooting, combat encounters, weak puzzles) to say it's improved on those fundamental aspects, that convinces me more than some diehard fan who usually doesn't take notice of them.

Exactly, even if I don't agree with a lot of his opinions.
 
You're honestly defending that shit? Aight.

If someone makes a fool of themselves they get laughed at for being a fool, simple as that. Taking videogame review scores seriously enough to go overboard on a message board is ripe for mockery. Getting salty over it only shows that you do take this shit too seriously.
 
I always like replaying the set-pieces in these games, and admiring the graphics, but I really hope I enjoy the actual combat this time around. The addition of the grappling hook and high grass for stealth is encouraging. The melee looks improved too. I'm most curious to see if the gunplay is fun this time around. TLoU's gunplay was great, so here's hoping.
 
Pls Uncharted 4 fulfill my wish of going to 95 compared to my prediction of 93, you are now in between : 94 so eitehr one step up or one step down.
 
I had to take a shower after these reviews.
A cold shower. My first cold shower ever, because I hate being cold.
But with this 100 Metacritic, I just had to find a way to cool down.
I'm all shriveled.
 
I get your point, but when choosing the GOTY between games of that top tier range, I don't think the actual score matter as much as the unique qualities of each game. I don't believe this will be the last game in the year to hit that magical range, nor do I believe there won't be a title with more "critically appealing" qualities like Deus Ex (sandbox RPG) to show up before the end of the year.

My point with this is that UC4 will have a tough basis to contend for the title because the qualities that make it an amazing game aren't the ones critics are eyeing for GOTY.

Uncharted 4 will be goty and no other game will come close, 94 on Meta is nuts these days.

Going by very very strong anecdotal evidence he's right. Of course its anecdotal, but the general consensus easily has mgsv as good but ultimately disappointing, and the witcher 3 as a guaranteed classic.
 
Yeah, we'll see come December. I remember similar claims with previous Uncharted games ("too samey" being a major one). We see how that turned out.

This statement can only apply to UC2 (which did go on to win GOTY) and I don't think very many people were claiming that when it pretty much redefined cinematic action games.

Then again, I wasn't yet a gaf member at the time, so I've no ideas what the reception here was like.

I had more fun playing MGSV than the other 2. I mean, everyone mostly gripes about that games story, but man did it feel good in my hands.
 
Any video reviews yet? Specifically KindaFunny, EZA and ACG.
Probably one of the worst communicated code discussions I have had now in 3 years of doing this. Sony was really going back and forth I guess. Basically now just told to sit and wait. Lots of stuff you don't want spoiled in the game.
Odd to think this is number 4.
 
94 adjusted for deflation is a 96 average 5 years ago.

We all know they be parsimonious with the scores they dish out these days compared to yesteryear.

Edit: I predict there won't be a higher average score title for the rest of the generation.
