Why did you want a game to get low scores?

Isn't that how it worked in TLoU?
Pretty much this.
To be fair, there's very little to get angry about when the game ends up being the (currently) highest rated game of this generation.
Dear Naughty Gods,
It's me, Spin, are you there? I've been with Uncharted since the PS3 was fucking $599 US Dollars. Actually, I'm just kidding, I got the PS3 when it dropped to $299. The moment I finished the first one I knew this franchise could be special, then Uncharted 2 came out and I would play it in front of people to impress them and shit. The game was phenomenal and pretty much made me a massive fan of the franchise. Then UC3 was announced and I was like, oh shit, Nate is in the desert. Oh shit, Nate is plane wrecked. Oh shit, Nate is sexy and has a scarf. While people were hard on UC3 I ate that shit up and enjoyed the dimensions it added to the characters and series itself. Some aspects of it could've been better, but it was still great.
Now this game approaches and gaming has caught up to the Uncharted formula and has tried with fervor to match those epic E3 Unchartedtech demos game demos. But unfortunately for them this one is on new hardware, so you guys will likely raise the bar yet again leaving those guys in the dust. Looking forward to the game and even more Assassin's Creed Easter eggs. You guys are great and I hope you guys continue doing great things. It's been real.
- Sincerely Spin

There would have been meltdowns if there were enough poor reviews. Everything has been quite positive.
There's that line in TDK from the Joker about what happens to civilized people when the chips are down. I think that applies to AAA review threads on GAF as well.

Did you try hard or crushing mode? Do you see ammo reduced in those modes?
That is a proper bastard. Persona 3 handled this well IIRC. They get in their own instanced fight and you gotta help them - but no surprise attack is invoked.
The only point at which Naughty Dog will allow AI teammates to be seen is when the teammates AI is as good as an experienced human player of action videogames. Which is probably a few games away yet. For AI to be good in terms of shooting is difficult - to be good at it in terms of sneaking and improvisation as well is fucking everest levels of complex challenge.
I don't think you understand the issue that people are having with IGN's review score process.

Only finished it on normal so far.
The explanation makes some sense, but it's still odd wishing hat something that 300+ people worked so hard to be mildly received (and having bigger impact in sales, bonuses, etc) just for us to have some laughs on the internet.

I've heard you will enjoy the game a lot more if you actually have played the previous 3 before you play this one.

Kenzo, please have one or the other gif, not both
Yeah. Just include the one with all the 10's.
EDIT: Good job! That gif is so amazing! XD
Exactly. I believe while developing Last of Us, ND did play around with the AI partner being visible to enemies at all times (rather than only visible to them once you've been detected) and it was leading to a lot of player frustration as they didn't have direct control over the AI parner's actions.
It's an immersion breaker that you need to overlook for game design's sake.

There's a soccer ball taunt they showed which I thought was even better than the dance. I guess everyone will see it next week.
Don't review threads for exclusive games usually have a higher propensity for meltdowns?
Jeff Bakalar, the man who does most of the video game review stuff for CNET is also a regular on Giant Bomb's East Coast podcast, the Beastcast. Vinny Caravella, the man running the podcast and member of the Giant Bomb team would ask Jeff why he doesn't give out scores. Hilarity ensues. Everyone wins except Jeff.
Yeah, they did. They're on record saying that even a few months before TLoU's release, the AI was far more capable and teammates were visible, and it was just not fun. They did loads of rebalancing/tweaking like 2-3 months before release and we got legend.
To be fair, I wanted the game to be good more than that. Again, I feel dumb for thinking that.

Ah, so do you think normal mode has reasonable ammo? I thought Madagascar demo had enough ammo for you, not plentiful like previous Uncharted games.

I just hope the UC4 OT is half as good as the original UC3 one, that was a thing of beauty.
I see you Menitta, u evil jerk lol.
It is fun though to watch things burn to the ground in front of your eyes at times.

Yea, ammo is plentiful, usually in the form if different guns though.

Hey guyz I'd rather spend $60 on a mediocre game because the meltdowns on neogaf are worth it!
I'm personally enjoying the faux-outrage in this thread that's basically mocking/parodying the uncharted 3 thread, way better than any legit meltdowns would've been imo. Meltdowns are just cringeworthy to me rather than entertaining.This thread is boring, everyone was hoping for Uc3 like thread and we got this.

Oh man, I'm so conflicted as I love me some Uncharted but after not even getting to the mid-way point of RotTR and Quantum Break I am worried the similar genre fatigue will carry over to this even with the understanding that this series is a step above. Combine those thoughts with the impending release of a new DOOM, I may push this to the summer drought of games when I'm craving something new to play and will probably appreciate it's excellence more.

Cool. Not a fan of sticking with one weapon so I will change them every encounter to make the combat more fun :3
You'd be lucky with a 8/10 from EDGE.

Depends on why you play those games. Me thinks that RotTR and QB have far weaker narratives than Uncharted 4.

I can't wait for the gaf match where everyone picks Chloe and just synchronize taunt.
Yep...Undertale was one of the absolute worst situations ever not just here, but across the whole internet. And having played it myself recently makes that situation infinitely more embarrassing looking back on it when i didn't even know what much about the game itself.
Oh my god lol
What made you lose interest in RoTR and QB though?
Tens to spare.
