Yea, he's talking complete nonsense and trying to create false controversy. This thread has been tame as hell, and we got early 8/10's straight out of the gate with VideoGamer and GamesRadar.
So how is the game so far?

Yea. Your interpreting it right. The game strikes a really good balance between platforming, combat and story beats.
Proof? We dont know the weight of each reviews on Meta...
I'm gonna melt down come Tuesday. Just finished the spoiler free Kinda Funny Games reaction and loved everything I heard from Colin. All the attention to detail, the depth, the acting, the scripting, storytelling, environmental diversity, it's almost criminal this game costs only $60.
Or rather it makes everything else almost look like $30 budget titles.
Well, the point of my post was to illustrate that the consensus of reviewers has clashed with the consensus of the players before. Therefore, I wouldn't read too much into things like UC4 having such a close MC to UC3. And I wouldn't trust MC to distinguish between the best game of a franchise and the worst. I will make my own determination like everyone else and I will put more stock in player reception than critical reception, for better or for worse.
Oooh, you're right.

Awesome reviews. Was going to buy a PS4 for this title but the neo put the brakes on that purchase for now.
Yeah :-\ OpenCritic doesn't have a way to process non-English publications yet. 9 of those 10 perfect scores that are "missing" just aren't from English publications (Time being the exception). If anyone's interested in joining the OpenCritic team to help with this, PM me.
We do plan to add international publications eventually.
OpenCritic does not include non-English publications at this time. We think the experience of seeing an English snippet and clicking "read more" only to have the language swapped is really suboptimal.
That sounds great. I'd be very disappointed if a team of this caliber with such crazy attention to detail messed up the pacing to their biggest blockbuster title. Pacing is incredibly important, even more so in action packed story driven games like Uncharted.

How much of Amy Henning's story remains in this game?

I should point out that this isn't like UC2 pacing. UC2 kinda had this feeling of a blockbuster action movie.
The story in this game is far more personal and so the pacing is different.
How would anyone knows that?

No Empire review yet? I want to see if they what they call this one if TLOU was the Citizen Kane of gaming.

Unless they come out and tell us someday, there's literally no way to know this.
They gave it a perfect 5, it's not on MC for some reason.

Would you say that it is more TLOU pacing rather than UC2 pacing?
My magic ball says around 4%.

She's not credited as a writer or really for anything else in this game except the special thanks she gets for her contributions to the franchise.
So I doubt anything made it over.
I've only played the introduction, and it was fantastic. A tad slow, but it's really diverse, rich, and a great tone setter on multiple fronts. It's not really like any of the other openers from the other games. UC2 - train sequence, UC3 - bar fight, LoU - zombie outbreak etc. Uncharted 4's instead is a bit more varied and covering wider ground.
If you haven't been following anything outside the official stuff, you won't be expecting any of it either, so it was a great surprise. Haven't played any more than that yet unfortunately.

It's a mixture of both. It set its self up like TLOU and once everything's kinda in place, slowly transitions over the course of the game to UC2.
But I feel like it's very much it's own thing.

Does anyone think Sony will put together an accolades trailer for next weeks launch? They have alot of 10/10s to choose from!
Of course
That sounds interesting. Almost like the best of both worlds. Have those super intense personal moments to hook the player in hopefully and blow their minds later on once more.
Marketing team already working on it I bet lol.

Gaf, for anyone that has seen GWC's Uncharted 4 review, does it show off new areas we havent seen before???
Great! keep updating.

Considering the 2013 announcement made it sound like Sam was out for revenge against Drake, I can see why that'd be the case. They through out the baby and the bath water.

Definitely. They probably already had everything laid out before reviews even dropped.
GWC doesn't actually play the game, he just takes available footage from elsewhere. As far as I know everything on his vídeo has been shown off officially somewhere

Awesome, thanks!
It's not on MC because, MC doesn't count Empire reviews.

I would be shocked if they don't.
As if they have an actual choice with UC4 and PS4K patching.
If there's one game that is guaranteed to get patched, it's UC4. If there's one game that MUST get patched, it's Bloodborne.

Can anyone capture a video showing chest hair moving and the watch working too like proved here:http://n4g.com/news/1888198/ps4-exc...nmental-images-wip-videos-and-a-working-watch around 1:50 in the video (
) and post it to youtube or a gfycat or any gif site? Thanks!
Take that Neogaf
Well they are working on a DLC expansion, which would run on the same engine and release after October (if the Left Behind DLC timing is anything to go by), so there's a good chance that they'll patch in neo improvements to Uncharted 4 as well.
NO doubt. It's why I think reviews were allowed this early. They knew it would be a hit and they are prepping a trailer to go live on Monday as we speak.

When did we start turning video game reviews into such a serious discourse?
Fifth game. Crash Bandicoot 3 actually has a metacritic listing and is at 91 with 12 reviews. LOL.

IGN's video review is a mess of spoiled locations. Pretty disappointed I watched it :-\
