RotTR was only marginally better than the first, writing wise. Still generally poor

....I hate you
Didn't play it but back than people made it sound like it's so much superior than the first in most ways, besides maybe story which was expectedly weak.
I hate you. My games always arrives on time.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
So jealous!

You guys ain't serious, right?
Like, really? Same scores doesn't mean the scores or games are comparable, since the games succeeds or fails on its own merits. That whole "But...it has the same score as [insert game name here] is merely a reader bias.
HAHAHA. You and thousand of Gaffers. If Polygon was a person, clearly he would be a nasty villain here.
I'm really happy the game is getting good reviews. I truly adore Naughty Dog.

Nothing...you've chosen the right MC score from three possible outcomes: 93,94,95.

Doesn't matter what a game "deserves" or what you and everyone else think a game deserves. Only what the individual felt about the game

Once again, the Tomb Raider-Uncharted cycle continues
It's kind of like an Uncharted take on Lara Croft GO. Pretty solid IMO. I'm surprised they put this much effort into a tie-in. At least it's not a runner

I know that. Doesn't make it any less enraging, childish or not.

None of us have played it, that's why I'm pointing out someone who already believes that. That's why I called it hyperbole. Then how are you agreeing with a person who believes Uncharted 4 is redefining this gen?

Metro review is all I need to bite.
Jim Sterling is always an outlier in his own inimitable way.
Lucy O'Brien is holding sway for a big, big global outlet.
I like Rise of the Tomb Raider, but a 9.3 is a stretch. Specifically if she was citing good writing (which is laughable, but I don't know if she actually did).
Fair play.
I hate taking this sort of argument, but honestly, RotTR only got mega praise when it initially released on Xbox One. When it released months later on PC, the praise was more lukewarm. Still good - it's still a good game - but nowhere near as excitable as the XBO launch... In short, I think RotTR got more praise than usual because it was a breath of fresh air for XBO, where there aren't many games like that (magical realist story driven, adventure driven, open-linear). I think for the Playstation gamers, who have been loving all over Uncharted for almost 10 years, Tomb Raider will be far more mundane.
It's not like we compared it to a racing game, they are all in the same genre, the game is supposed to be judged in comparison to the genre, not in a vacuum.

Yeah, thought that was pretty funny.
Out on Android too. It's not half bad!

Should I get this today? Last "new" game I got was Tomb Raider. I'm like 6 months behind whats currently out. This or Rachet and Clank, which would give me more bang for my buck?

This would, but it's officially out Tuesday, so get both?

Metacritic's been stuck at 62 reviews for a while. Hoping that 94 holds out until the end of the day.
Not explicitly, but
If this isn't a compliment on writing, I don't know what is.

Oh, I thought this was out today. Nevermind, I'll lose interest by then.
Get R&C, finish it in 5 days. Then, get UC4.

Uncharted 4 isn't out yet, it's out may 10th
as for bang for your buck, Rachet and Clank is cheaper so you might think that is better

If we're talking about what the vast majority of the media(and NeoGAF for that matter) will pick for GOTY, then UC4 is a no-brainer. Its AAA industry gorgeous, its readily accessible both its in style and game design, widely available on the most popular console, single player focused, Western in ethos. One need only look at the last 10 years of media GOTYs to see how Uncharted slots in.

shameful how much people's soft-worth is held and broken by the opinions of others on their preferred entertainment products

Not at all surprised at the scores, this is Naughty Dog - the best team out there.
The part I love the most is the disappointment and salt from the people that were hoping it would flop, too sweet & funny.

Yuck.
For every one solid Lara line in RotTR, there are four or five cringeworthy ones. Over-directed/over-acted screams or exclamations, off-tone delivery, over-obvious script, etc etc. When the game gets it right, it's right, and works really well, but that's the minority of cases.
It's all the audio/story directors' fault, not the actress. But it's also not an easy job. Just this week I recorded a load of VA for a voice actress, and damn it's hard to get shit right. Naughty Dog are utter professionals and masters of the craft.
Also every character except Lara is complete shit and the overarching plot is just not compelling at all. The adventure is great, and the backstory/lore is decent, just the minute-to-minute plot is... Yugh
I'm not reading a single review because spoilers.
Scores all the way. Even though they're basically meaningless to the individual.
