One of the only recent games where my opinion was totally out of step with Jim's. Really odd.
This is somehow a surprise?

Pretty much. I just finished it and its pretty damn good. Best graphics of all time and your mind will be blown quite a few times from it. But Jason is right in the sense it's not as good as TLoU and the story doesn't come together perfectly even if I loved the end. Early chapters are a chore to replay and in the end there isn't as much innovation as in the earlier titles. It makes sense since it's the 4th entry in the franchise, but I can't really see it having a lasting impact besides the graphics. So in the end it's a pretty good game, but not the second coming of Christ

Ordinarily there's no way an Uncharted is going to be a GOTY candidate for me, but I'm eager to see if the series taking a sidestep into more open level design allows me to enjoy the mechanics more, or if it will just underscore how pitiful traversal usually is in this series. Judging by the reviews, I'm hoping this will have a structural feel closer to TLoU.
Technical prowess of a game is a blip compared to actual gameplay design.
Fallout isn't very good there either though. :/

Gamespot's review is really well written

I think there's actually enough posts waiting for meltdowns to make a wall.
if it is just an impression it is ok. But still surprises me since those are very different games despite sharing some things. maybe a TR or QB would fit better.
to some degree. The story doesn t seem the best point to start. Compare it to Mario Galaxy since you can platform in Uncharted too.
exactly

Erm, why is her nose that big? Maybe a bad screencap, but here she looks bad compared to UC2's Chloe..
Yeah, as you say, Fallout's game design is ancient and unpolished, it's technically a piece of trash especially on consoles, and tge whole thing just feels bad to play.
Perhaps the shadowing makes it seem larger than it is. It stood out to me, also.

thing is Colin was saying he has issues with the rope being just introduced and Nate could use it like a pro, and also loads of mud sliding. His argument was this was old man out the game drake and also he would of liked to see drake struggle occasionally with this stuff.
My problem with Colin's opinion here is:
1. Its a game, its not grounded in reality this exciting gameplay mechanics stuff is what makes uncharted uncharted and it needs to evolve so it doesn't feel stale for a new gen, playing the beta it felt amazing
2. UC4 takes place only 3 years after UC3, which he loves, so why would Nate suddenly age dramatically that he can't do this stuff like slide down a hill and run about and climb stuff just as effortlessly as before?
The fuq they did to Chloe?

Went to my local GAME store in the UK and they had the game but couldn't sell it to me. I tried to bribe them but it didn't work.
How do I wait until Tuesday...

Biggest difference is the nose, I believe.
Not sure, it's the MP character.
See it in action with different customizations and taunts here from 27:30-32:45:

Sadly enough, my body woke up 2 hours earlier than usual due to hype. I needed the sleep 
Oh well maybe I can beat Ni Oh before work.

Hence 'opinions and stuff'.
Story and dialogue is very important in narrative driven games. FO is still narrative driven, otherwise it would just be a sandbox only. You can't just dismiss sloppy attempts, that is disingenuous.
Either way... FO4's meta is an 87, Jim's review a 95
UC4 Meta is currently 94, Jim's 85.
Again opinions and stuff.
Agreed.

Multiplayer character model?

No.
But some guys thinks reviewed are being harsh this gen without any proof,
What I see are games with key flaws being scores lower than expected... others games with not that important flaws are getting 94, 93, 92, etc like last gen.
Yep.

haha takes me like two months to be a metallic fossil when I stop working out.
Why not? Journey won a bunch, I can't remember but I would assume SotC won some. Press is open to those types of games.

Idk, Chloe has always had a unique facial structure and a prominent nose. Multiplayer model looks fine to me. She has more in common with her UC2 model than her UC3 model for sure.

I wonder how the Amy Hennig game would have differed from the Druckmann / Straley one.
Not sure about a prominent nose...
Still, I don't see the issue. Not nearly as bad as Elena's design in UC3.

IMO, the TLOU and UC comparison is gonna be easy to settle. Whichevers game has the tone you prefer, you'll like more.
This is taking out the impact of TLOU sort of pushing ND to the heights that it did and simply comparing them on a game vs basis.
There's definitely an argument to be made for both but they are so wildly different. I slept on it and still haven't been able to make up my mind on which one I consider "better." They just do different things better.
I'm still thinking TLOU = UC4. One thing is for sure, the pacing between the two is probably be most similar thing. But still not the same.

yeah, but Nate is still well built, actually he's even more buff than he was in UC3... I'd say he's been working out cause of his desk job

What if you like both? Like me.
Why we even need to compare them? Two different games, two different settings, two different stories etc.
