I don't know about that. Seems the wrong game in the series to make that kind of stance.
Since it's the 4th game in the series, completely making it a non-issue would require some sort of crazy retconning. The game does a pretty good job with it none the less.
Not really. Answering tough questions like that is a writing responsibility you adopt when you put such a focus on story.
Its a 3rd person shooter.
Nah, it's a dumbass criticism. We call a dumbass criticism when we see one, that's the way it works.
Like I said, the dude's reviews have been really off this gen.
Nah, it's completely ridiculous.

Nah, it's a totally dumb complaint. No two ways about it.

Some reaching on this page me thinks.
I can see why you think so, but it isn't. And in a lot of ways the things that irk some aren't what people think. There's a reason why you see the complaint levelled against Uncharted and not any one of a multitude of Call of Duty games, or many other first and third person shooters. Even The Last of Us.
It's a matter of tone, and gameplay conflicting with a tone, and that being neglected by the story. You don't get to ignore it because it's inconvenient - that's bad story-telling.
But anyway, that's a different topic.

Yeah. The Drake mass murderer stuff is fun for a good laugh but it has literally never once bothered me while playing and enjoying the games. I feel like if you're offering it up as genuine criticism you're taking the video game far more seriously than Bruce and Neil could ever make it.

I told you so
.Fun fact, NeoGAF predicted a 93,5 Metascore for UC4. Most guessed score was 94. So, we really are getting good at this, folks!
Something that both Kotaku and Game Informer guys commented is that the villains are kinda poor.
Those who have played, without spoiling anything, please, are they really underwhelming? Marlene and Rafe seemed to have great potential.
You mean, just because the game is "funny"?

I will never ever understand people that use this as a legitimate complaint about the series. Its not like Drake is killing innocent people anyway. These guys are out to kill him too.

Can't wait for that 10/10 EDGE bomb to drop!
You all know deep down it's going to happen!

A piece of art that has players connect emotionally with the characters and also has realistic depictions of those characters killing for the entertainment of the player is disturbing to some people. If a reviewer experiences that, is he supposed to pretend that those feelings don't exist? Why? Or is his opinion supposed to not matter? Why?
No, it's just mega nitpicky. It's not a criticism I share because frankly I don't give a fuck, shooting people is fun enough on it's own, so I'm not going to argue about this.

Please answer question like how was this, how was that in spoiler tags. Don't want to go in biased :/
After reading the reviewer likes it, I'd go for 9.

I'm not ignoring it. I think it's an idiotic complaint.
This is the fourth game in a series. Unless the writers somehow retcon the past 3 UC games, there is not an acceptable way to overcome the issue to please people who parrot the meme around.
And UC4 still does a pretty admirable job with it regardless. That the complaint was levied against the game in the series that handles it the best, despite the baggage over the course of the series makes it an idiotic complaint.
Yea, it's dumb complaint. Just because he put it in a review doesn't make it any less stupid.
Ohh, you edited your post =]
try harder
We are speaking about a videogame. Sorry but this is nitpicking at is finest .
What?
I think we're on different wavelengths. I'm not talking about Jim's comment, which seems like it came from a place of being funny and inflammatory. I'm talking about where the argument behind his statement comes from.
But again, different topic for a different thread.
Yeah, ok, whatever.

It'll definitely be a 9 or 10, but I'm leaning more to a 10. I guessed the MC would be 94, so you can trust me. ^_~

Yea, I fully see a topic like that hitting the front page of GAF sometime soon.
Filled with people trying to act as if retconning past games is an acceptable outcome to overcome a meme.

You know how Metacritic could improve ? They need bar that shows us how much we need to the next score.

Not according to IGN, tentatively... ;P
An XP bar, lol.
Well since they changed the universal rule of averages, it should be treated as such, lol.
Kojima did it hahahaha.
Metacritic isn't a game. But yeah, it should be.

He's not really wrong though I would change the word "clone" into something like "inspiration".

I believe they gave this a 21/20 as well.
