Not sure you're right about that. I could swear "white man goes around blowing away dozens of brown skinned guys" was brought up when the first Uncharted was the only Uncharted.

"privileged white man laughs at the destruction the city, drives off for brown skinned people to fix it clean up the homes and businesses he's destroyed"

If anything the response you guys are doing with the pile up kinda proves my point tbh. You are really annoyed that I'm pointing out the crappy posts for some reason.

People weren't having a problem with you calling out shitposts, but rather your frequent provocation and ad nauseaum mannerisms.
 
This was beautiful. I would slow clap it if I could but everyone at work would give me looks. Meltdowns can still be had with Edge and meta falling to 93 or 92 but whatever the game is amazing and less amazing for others.

Many thanks :)! Indeed - for Uncharted fans - they should be over the moon with this. I must admit as I love series very much I always worry if the next one would fail. Anything can happen. For it to turn out like this, I am thankful :D

Well said!

Thank you kindly good sir :D

Forgot who it was. Sorry!

No worries! Thanks for sharing it. Absolutely lovely.

I was online then, and only thing that was commented a bit was the 50/50 split between action and exploration/puzzles which was different from U1's main influence Tomb Raider, but ND activley promoted they really wanted that kind of action approach.
 
All Uncharted fans in here - rejoice :D One of our favorite series ended with probably the loudest bang we'd hoped for :D

Uncharted has, at this point, arguably eclipsed Gran Turismo as Sony's most popular IP. Naughty Dog may be done with the franchise, but I'll be legitimately shocked if Sony doesn't pass the reins to another developer... and I'm not just saying that because I want a Sully prequel trilogy to happen. ;)
 
Just give it up bro plz. Stop trying to start something that's not happening..😕
I didn't start anything, though, I called out shitty posts. The only thing happening here is a dumb pile up of bandwagoning people that didn't even follow up the conversation before in the slightest. I do love how half my supposed "wall of shame" was just me arguing with a guy that thought that only Uncharted got a certain type of criticism, which I replied that no, Uncharted is not the only one that got that criticism. That guy got really pissed and put me on ignore without presenting a single argument.
 
Nit sure what some are hoping from with this game. It won't be some magical game that everyone clearly views better than 2. Plenty of people are still going to like 2 over this one. That said it's still probably going to win gaf GOTY.
 
Yo, is your slow-mo video pretty non-spoilerish? If so, would you mind PMing it to me?

He sent it to me. It's from a location seen in the story trailer but his video is that location shooting gameplay so it's kind of a spoiler if you may.

I thought it was unncessary. I thought he'd send me a video of something from Madagascar or the PSX demo area.

Some people think 3 is the best, too. or 1!

There are wrong people everywhere, nothing we can do about that.
 
For sure. A low score doesn't bother me at all. I have an idea in mind of what games I think I will enjoy months before anyone reviews it. Personally I think the entire gaming review scoring system is a complete joke (seriously nearly every game would get a 100% on a RT system, that's a problem).

I am was only saying that I predicted at least a couple in that 6-7 range if for nothing else to be contrarian, and people shouldn't freak out if it happens. It's not worth it and in some cases that's what the outlier wants.

Yeah. To be honest, lol at people saying Jim's doing this for attention. He makes his living off patreon. Pissing people off by giving a beloved game/franchise a "low" score may increase Twitter hate traffic, but won't increase his funding.support.

I see. Well, would you mind sending it to me? I'm not too worried about it.

Agreed on all fronts mate. Personally I'm thrilled that Uncharted became the landmark Playstation series as it caters to my taste; Though the racing genre is dying down, I believe GT can come back strong if it gets its identity right - not with Sport, but probably with the next numbered game.

I expect Sony to let the series continue in some form with another (hopefully great) developer. A Sully prequel trilogy would be beautiful man :D I'd SO be down for that ^^
 
If anything the response you guys are doing with the pile up kinda proves my point tbh. You are really annoyed that I'm pointing out the crappy posts for some reason.

We are annoyed because you're keep talking about what, 30-40 posts in a 3500+ posts thread, like if it were the worst thing ever.

It's not like no one noticed the dumb responses before you started calling people salty, junior, fanboys and posting "funny" pics.

We know there's some sensitive guys, we just don't care so much that we need to keep them in check always. It's better to just ignore it if it makes you so worked up.

Nothing personal, Bernardo, it's just that some of your posts were unnecessary.
 
The '90s.

Maybe not your definition of "great", but certainly "well worth your money".

The 90s was like that because there were a lot more shitty games....a lot more....like way way more. Even "bad" games really arent that bad anymore unless we are talking indies or outliers.

Also find it weird that people are jumping all over Jim. I personally think the Uncharted series is ok. Even if Uncharted 4 is AHMAZING it would still probably be at most an 8.5 to me because I don't really like a lot of what makes Uncharted Uncharted even if it was the best version of that thing. I'll play it, but really it would have to something really out there and un-Uncharted for me personally to get really excited for it.

If we go with this last bit about posts being unnecessary, so are plenty of the same replies that call him out by saying "get out of here", "stop this", or any other comment that tries to shame an already very prolonged series of replies. Some seem to forget their own advice of just roll your eyes and move on kind of attitude.

Jim isn't even the lowest score is he? Last I checked there were a few below his at 8...

Any form of media that gets all 8-10 scores no one should concern themselves with quality of said media as obviously it is well crafted. This obsession with where it will finish on Metacritic is as silly as trying to dissect what makes a game a 7.8 versus a 7.9.
 
Can you just let this go?

Maybe he would if people would stop quoting him. Because that's exactly what he wants.

Uncharted has, at this point, arguably eclipsed Gran Turismo as Sony's most popular IP. Naughty Dog may be done with the franchise, but I'll be legitimately shocked if Sony doesn't pass the reins to another developer... and I'm not just saying that because I want a Sully prequel trilogy to happen. ;)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be at least one more Uncharted, just not from ND.
If the IP still succeeds without ND, there could be even more.

We'll see, but I can't imagine that they won't try at least one more game and just let this big franchise die.
 
Maybe he would if people would stop quoting him.

finally! someone that gets it! Whether it is what he wants or not... just why bother in conversation... if they don't mean it to be a conversation? or a line of dialogue to find something about their posts.
 
Just like non-sensical pile ups then?

I totally agree. So, can we just drop this stupid discussion once and for all?

LOL. Your being online back then (way back in 2008, WOW!) proves it wasn't a point of discussion anywhere? OK!

To be fair, there are people on this very page who are pretending that the words "moron" and "freak" haven't been used to describe Jim in this very thread. It's fine to point out that he is overreacting and egging others on, but several of the other posters are in some fanboy denial at this point if they are portraying a completely civil thread.
 
Why is BernadoOne having a meltdown? lol
 
All I wanna know is if someone brought up his MW3 score yet in this thread, that's the one people keep returning to for some reason. He even had to do a Jimquisition about people using it as a point against him like it matters at all.

That's so false.

We might have to wait until after either GT Sport or the next numbered game to know for sure, but sales wise GT is still king going by history.

Fine by me. I find the pile up ironic though, especially withe lack of arguments and posts contained the exact same type of atitude they claim to be complaining about.

Someone did, pretty early on. Not sure if it was to mock him, but it was definitely brought up since I've never heard about it until this very thread.
 
UC4 is a complete game. Any future UC games are gonna have some work cut out for them trying to convince older fans to come back.
Good, I'm glad to read this. Make the future Uncharted devs really work for it and come up with something amazing if they want to convince the older fans to return.
 
I wouldn't expect Sony to drop the IP completely.

I'd expect an eventual new game/reboot by a different developer staring new characters.

The thirst for meltdowns is strong with this one, like holy shit. If just a tenth of all your posts in this threads were meltdowns from idiots it would have made the UC3 review thread look tame in comparison.
 
The '90s.

Maybe not your definition of "great", but certainly "well worth your money".

Never happened, the first scale never existed in videogames world.

More so, today people are more reasonable towards a game that didn't get a 9.

Btw that Shacknews review also has that shitty killer Drake complaint as one of the two negatives they have on the game, so dumb :/

Yeah that was me but like you said it wasn't to mock him but rather stating it as a matter of fact that he got a lot of backlash for that review, more so than his review for this game. I have no feelings for his MW3 review either way.
