Why are people focused on IGN's score? There are 5 other reviews that are actually lower then that score.

IGN weight in MC is pretty big compared with others.

 

[pharmboy044]

CNET's review.

Any idea if it's spoilery?

 

[SomTervo]

Because of the stupidity of review threads. If you don't think something is perfect that's fine, some people can't accept that.

You be all like

CNET's review.

Cool, I'm guessing Jeff Bakalar will bring ins impressions to the Beastcast tomorrow.

 

[Yurikerr]

Man look at all those 9 out of 10s and 10 out of 10s. Very nice. One question, why are there some 8s in there? I mean is it just some review sites just being stupid or is there something that's keeping them from giving 9s and/or 10s?

Yes, their personal opinion.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Good scores, I'm not an uncharted fan at all (or tps more in general) but I really did enjoy tlou. I should give this another chance after playing the first one only for a couple of hours.

 

[Platinum_D]

Wow all of those 10's this game is killing it

You freaking serious?

I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully he doesn't stray too far into spoilery territory.

CNET does not score games?

They score just about everything else they review... strange.

Write a nasty email to the Beastcast. I'm sure Vinny can get to the bottom of it.

Read the reviews and find out.

shit is going crazy up in here

Junior acc, only XBL acc, history is full of posts in MS threads, no Sony games threads. Try harder next time to recreate U3 meltdown

This feels forced. Been a good review thread, lets not.

I do not know what this means, care to enlighten?

 

[Death Metalist]

Any idea if it's spoilery?

No idea, haven't read any review thus far and I doubt I will because I already am getting the game.

 

[Rudiano]

GOTY for me, I have finished it on Normal and almost on Hard now, one thing does bother me though...when you are stealth and your ally is catching up with you, they sometimes are running about in the open literally meters away from the enemy and they dont get seen, even on Hard mode :-\

 

[Loudninja]

AH nvm.

Gotta tune into the Beastcast for the real score. I'm guessing a 37 / Apple.

It's like that in TLOU too. Thankfully I don't get bothered by that.

It's a minor balancing issue which has been discussed to death ever since TLoU

Trust me, if the enemies could see your teammates, you would be fucking raging every five minutes. There's no way around this until AI reaches a near-human level

 

[msdstc]

Reason being, I do not agree with the 9.3 when it was given.

OK so it comes back to the original point then. You're dying laughing at someone because they like one game better than another.

 

[DealWithIt]

Plan to play this at some point. Never played A UC game. Should I play the remasters first?

 

[Gurish]

Sterling only really came on my radar in the last 6-12 months and honestly I disagree with pretty much everything he says.

Not vehemently, mind you. And I still like him - I think he's articulate and a general force for good. I just take issue with all of his opinions; enough to make me go "no. This guy doesn't get it."

I think his opinions about general topics in the gaming industry are interesting, entertaining and I often agree with him.

But as a reviewer he's been off this gen imo, just disagree with him completely in most cases, often can't understand his perspective and way of thinking when reading them.

 

[DeviantBoi]

I generally agree with Jim Sterling's reviews, but he lost me after those opening paragraphs.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Man Naughty Dog did it again!

Your allies were TLOUed.

I don't think he's being serious anymore

Same thing with TLoU. It's either that or you are constantly frustrated that you are stealthy and your buddy keeps sucking it up for you.

I thought Uncharted 3 was only an 7/10 while many sites showered it with the highest ratings.

Come at me.

Real reason: opinions. I don't know when things got warped to the point that people think 7 or 8/10 means that a game isn't quality or worth playing.

Edit: oh you jest. That's pretty funny actually.

 

[icespide]

Second time today someone tried this I dont get it.

they want a repeat of the UC3 review thread which would be hilarious but it must happen nauturally and not be forced

 

[jeffram]

Any idea if it's spoilery?

Not really. There's one sentence in it that hints at a locale that hasn't been shown. This was the closing statement "If this is indeed the last Uncharted game, it's a supremely satisfying celebration of the series and an absolute must-play on PlayStation 4."

 

[Bunta]

It was the same on TLOU and I'm glad it's that way. It would be really shitty to get spotted because of your AI partner, imo.

Yep, pretty much exactly how I feel, too. He's been having some increasing health issues for the last 1-2 years, right? Maybe something has been throwing him off rhythm.

I get a very low-energy vibe from all of his reviews now. He still does great with his Jimquisitions, but the reviews? Not so much...

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Yeah, I haven't actually read any reviews, but this joke is stupid and is just a dank meme.

Me either, but you know. The internet age has opened the flood gates for that. I'm old enough to remember all the way back to the Atari 2600. In the 80s and 90s, games rated 7 & 8 were considered big deals. Just a sign of the times.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Same thing with TLoU. It's either that or you are constantly frustrated that you are stealthy and your buddy keeps sucking it up for you.

Sorta of why I hate RE5, otherwise if the AI-partner behaved like the AI in TLOU, I'd love RE5 (or if there was no AI-partner at all).

 

[Kralamoonard]

You know the funniest thing about the whole situation? Is there were more people talking about meltdowns in this review thread pre embargo than actual meltdowns. And the only "meltdowns" are people clearly faking it and trolling to try and put a bad name. It's actually been very civilised. You compare it to recent review threads for AAA releases like Quantum Break and it's actually very peaceful.

 

[Menitta]

Glad it's good. As much as I secretly wanted it to be like 7/10, I'm glad it's a superb game. I'll pick it up next month.

Very true. What is this wizardry, Naughty Dog?

OK so it comes back to the original point then. You're dying laughing at someone because they like one game better than another.

Your point, lol?

You never laughed at something you disagreed with, opinions or not?

Show me your enlightened ways, oh master of the baseline.

why would you secretly want that?

I think it's because of game design choice and I'm glad they do that. It would be frustrated if we got detected when it wasn't our fault

 

[Loudninja]

I really dont get this at all :/

Why?

 

[Primethius]

To be honest, I think the stealth AI (whose implementation I like, cause screw having the AI fuck you over) is less problematic in UC4 then TLOU because UC isn't as reliant on stealth.

So for me, who went guns blazing throughout the UC4 campaign, it was hardly an issue.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Looking through all these review sites. Look like there aren't many websites that'll pay you for editorial work. The struggle continues.

 

[Menitta]

why would you secretly want that?

Well, I personally don't care for Uncharted and I kinda wanted a crazy review thread, but that was dumb of me, and I apologize.

Yup!

This isn't the same situation as Uncharted 3 though, where there was some meagre, juvenile reason for having a meltdown. Uncharted 4's release has been stronger to some extant; so there's less to have a meltdown about.

Not that meltdowns are ever a good idea. Stay in school, kids!

Trust me, if the enemies could see your teammates, you would be fucking raging every five minutes. There's no way around this until AI reaches a near-human level

Yeah, im playing earthbound now and enemies can initiate a battle by running into my teammates which is obnoxious and almost always results in them getting a surprise attack.

 

[Alienous]

why would you secretly want that?

Good games come every couple of months.

Legendary threads? A few in a lifetime.
