Naughty Dog is going downhill...
What's going on at Naughty Dog, gaf????
That's definitely one way you can think of it. Though I think the same problem can be solved by having a higher standard, and making sure the site isn't bunk.
It's not like you can measure one site's opinion as being better than anothers, because one person's opinion can't really be better than anothers.
People put too much stock into IGN and GT, when there are plenty of other sites, large and small that do the same work just as good if not better. And some sites are worse, but if you average the opinions equally the chance of an outlier or a bunk opinion from any site, much less a large site like GT, will effect the average.

This sracastic joke created In gaf just for the lulzs will be ported to otehr sites and will be very badly interpreted later and will come back to gaf again just like the E3 2014 vs PSX 2014 comparison created here adn then used to downplay the game everywhere even in some random facebook groups.

What big sites are missing as of now ? Giant Bomb and Easy Allies on top of my head.
I thought RoTTR's story was better than TR2013's but it was still mostly forgettable.

Just read eurogamer's review and I'm glad to hear that Drake's relation with Elena is the standout aspect of the story.
All this talk about the ending making it impossible for Drake to return seems to imply that he dies, even if that's not what happens reviewers can fuck off with comments about the ending.

They did one three years ago, but they take time. I mean damn if it took them 3 years to get out a game that was on its fourth entry in a franchise then when do you think TLoU 2 will come out, let alone a new IP? I mean I guess they have their grounds or and engine now laid out but still, AAA game development is longer than ever now.
I do agree with you though -- I want a new IP before this gen ends but I'm not sure how likely that'll be unless they split into two teams which is unfavourable.
not being able to fully test MP is far from an "ideal condition"

Don't think they'll submit it yet, since it isn't final. Metacritic doesn't allow changing scores, so they'll have to sent in the final one.

Those are the biggest left, right? Maybe I'm missing some.

As far as adventure-blockbuster game stories go, I thought RoTR was about on par with the Uncharted series. Maybe an inch below.
I also don't think the stories/writing in these games are particularly grand, so that's where I'm placing my bar. They're all well paced and have fun leads, but the actual narrative is only serviceable. They bring the player from huge moment to moment, and not much more.
mgsv? or did you mean ps4 exclusives
I've been talking about the game, made a throwaway joke comment that got a lot of y'all angry, and started responding to you. Didn't know that was suddenly not allowed.
I'm an "enthusiast" as well, there's a fine line between that and taking shit way too seriously.

Uncharted 2 was the site's GOTY that year.

Yeah it likely will due to how they weigh reviews. A few big publications left though, so it could stay 94.
No it won't... It MIGHT get play between some console war fanboyz but 99% of people will know the intention. Relax.
Games cost more money, take more time, and are moving away from single player experiences. A game like Uncharted 4 doesn't exactly happen but a few times every decade. What I think is most indicative of the changing of times is how reviewers have become larger celebrities than the games they seek to critique.
In saying that- anything higher than a 90 is like a 10 for me. The review process, amount of outlets, cynicism, and barrier to break to achieve a higher than 90 on metacritic is stupidly broken. It's almost like inflation, a 80 today is like a 95 a decade ago.

Oh. Color me surprised.

How do you know all this? You have no idea about their weighting system so we can't tell.
With this, I believe Naughty Dog has the highest average rating across their entire portfolio of games, compared to any other developer. Their overall average is 88. Were it not for Jak X: Combat Racing (76), it would have been above 90. Basically, these guys are insanely consistent.

I still can't believe that they were people who took that joke seriously.
So, Uncharted is harder than Bloodborne.....on crushing.
Heh, didn't find any meltdowns to mock and be condescending about so you're trying to instigate some drama on your own?
Some man just want to see the world burn...
Savage Starlight would be a cool take by ND.

My point is that the servers & connectivity will never be better than what reviewers have had access to.

Why is Golden Abyss on their profile? And I think it's counting DLC, including MP DLC to the average, lol...
