94 on metacritic makes it the best reviewed game of the generation, right?

 

[Neiteio]

So what's the most hype video out there for this game?

 

[MrS]

Don't see a game on the horizon this year to challenge Uncharted 4 as an overall GOTY package. No Bloodborne or Witcher 3 level stuff in sight. Stuff like Overwatch will be great but it's only 'half' a package. The Last Guardian will probably be super interesting but with mechanics a bit all over the place. Horizon and Zelda are now 2017.

Somebody hasn't played Dark Souls III

 

[KORNdoggy]

i was hyped anyway, but the universal positivity surrounding this game is making me downright giddy. it's like the last of us all over again

 

[pastrami]

Let's be honest, is there anybody who will purchase this because of the scores? Is there anybody who won't purchase it because of the scores?

Didn't think so. So let's have it then.

Me. Even though I'm a fan of Uncharted and absolutely loved The Last of Us, I wasn't all that interested in Uncharted 4. Seeing these great scores and impressions has me thinking about picking the game up on Tuesday.

 

[Darksol]

Damn fine work yet again ND

 

[Gurish]

I know, I almost mentioned it instead, but while I thought QB was a competent, technically impressive, but boring TPS, TR2013 had writing and acting so bad I get actually offended when it gets compared favorably to Uncharted.

But yeah, I'm disappointed in Jim as well, but not as surprised since he never liked Uncharted that much.

But you said she gave ROTTR a 9.3, did you play it?

 

[ReplacementPelican]

They've done it again, well done Naughty Dog, definitely one the of best developers out there.

 

[Jonneh3003]

nor does it magically worse

Not saying it does, I don't speak German so I don't know how the reviewer elaborated on their point but its unfair to call them out on making a valid comment. Being more open doesn't make things better unless its done well which according to them it could be done better.

 

[Donthizz#]

wow, ND does it again. Congrats. Can't wait to play this game.

UNCHARTED: Fortune Hunter™

 

[The God]

How Druckmann manages to develop fantastic games and star in a TV show is beyond me. How does the man do it?

What show is Druckmann in?

 

[BeforeU]

That is amazing. I expected 88-90. Cant wait to play it next week.

I mean he is an immortal

 

[Qvoth]

preordered :>

 

[sora87]

No wonder there's no nate's theme at the menu, Naughty Dog are whistling it all the way to the bank

 

[BlackBuzzard]

What show is Druckmann in?

 

[Raylan]

What show is Druckmann in?

Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, Flash.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Edit: Beaten.

 

[RedAssedApe]

I bet IGN ends up giving it a 9.0

I don't see it changing. Reviewer already gives their thoughts about mp and implies that the only thing they waiting on is to see if mp works out of the gate before finalizing a score.

 

[viHuGi]

Yes and will not be topped until GTA VI comes out.

Spoiler

Or Last of Us 2.

 

[The God]

Wow, had no idea Druckmann was an actor lol

 

[Omnistalgic]

So IGN can bring it up or down now?

 

[Servbot24]

But you said she gave ROTTR a 9.3, did you play it?

Scores are not a formula, they're a gut reaction.

 

[Gurish]

Yes and will not be topped until GTA VI comes out.

Spoiler

Or Last of Us 2.

No faith in Zelda?

And 93 seems more likely as the final MC but we'll see.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

How? he isn't listed in any movies.

[Kaversmed]

Wow, had no idea Druckmann was an actor lol

He's not. That's not him.. right?

Edit: It's Casper Crump. He's actually danish like me, I should've known better xD

 

[Kenzodielocke]

He's not. That's not him.. right?

No, that is totally him. He is a savage after all.

 

[Bl@de]

He's not. That's not him.. right?

It's not.

 

[strafer]

Guys come on, that's totally Neil. You don't see it?

 

[Cowboy Dan]

Wow, had no idea Druckmann was an actor lol

He's one of tv's finest.

Spoiler

it's not actually him.

 

[sense]

Wow, had no idea Druckmann was an actor lol

They are not the same. It is just they are very similar and it is sort of a joke

 

[J4g3r]

Guys come on, that's totally Neil. You don't see it?

Yeah, he was even on set when the reviews dropped.

 

[The God]

He's one of tv's finest.

Spoiler

it's not actually him.

I'm an idiot

Really looks like him though.

 

[JustSomeone]

Nier Automata

That development team

I think people need to make a seperation between their personal picks for GOTY and what the media is likely to pick((which is what being discussed here). I doubt any gaming media would give Nier a GOTY award, except maybe edge(and even that is unlikely because of DS3).

 

[Elixist]

94 feelsgoodman, good guess Elixist *high five*

 

[LunaticLMD]

Seeing that Chloe gif put a smile on my face.

Can't wait for Tuesday.

 

[Messofanego]

I don't think it's out of the question to say Naughty Dog has innovated in the story telling, acting, and narrative based gaming side of the industry. They are literally unmatched when it comes to character expression and attention to detail. I don't think they innovated the third person shooter/adventure game- but they definetely had a hand in shaping the way we tell stories, capture performances, and convey emotions in games.

Crash helped define PS1 and Uncharted + TLOU helped define PS3. Not hyperbole.

And how is Uncharted 4 "redefining" this generation of videogames, exactly?

 

[lukeskymac]

But you said she gave ROTTR a 9.3, did you play it?

I'm waiting for a lower price, but everything I've read and seen points towards a 0.5 improvement over its predecessor.

And how is Uncharted 4 "redefining" this generation of videogames, exactly?

By setting new standards in multiple areas?

 

[Gurish]

I'm an idiot

Really looks like him though.

Can't blame you, imagination is remarkable.

 

[strafer]

Yeah, he was even on set when the reviews dropped.

Indeed.

 

[psychotron]

lol, you dicks actually made me look it up. I didn't think he was Savage, but the resemblance is close enough to have made me question it.

Well so you can't really be mad at her until you'll play it

 

[xenorevlis]

Indeed.

Haha, you beat me to this!

 

[Servbot24]

And how is Uncharted 4 "redefining" this generation of videogames, exactly?

Neither of us have played it, how would I know?

 

[DarkLordMalik]

What show is Druckmann in?

The Walking Dead

I'm all for impressions, it's having to put the finality of a number on an experience that does my head in.

I guess I'm aligning myself to Eurogamer here, and fair play to them for standing up to the convention. I applaud the line of thinking that encourages a review to be a 2-way thing; the writer and the reader having an asymmetrical conversation.

If it achieves the type of leap that Uncharted 2 did over its predecessor, then I think it's a dark horse.

FFXV too if it delivers on the hype. And maybe Mafia 3 if it's not a technical mess.
