In Uncharted 2 it wasn't just jumps/platforming. I remember with the crashed train sequence in the snow if you tried to walk out of the area too soon it went to a cutscene of you getting gunned down, even if there were no enemies near you.

What you want to know is whether you'll absolutely love the game if you didn't really like previous ones? The answer is that you probably won't. However, the game is by all accounts an improvement over the previous two, so maybe if you were on the fence it could push you over.The_Technomancer said:

Chad Concelmo reviews are always hyped up fanboy nonsense. I don't see why we give him any slack when we went to town on Greg Miller's equally bad, 10/10 review

Sorry no, dont mean that. Of course indie games can get an amazing grade, but giving uncharted 3 the same grade as many other game, while it is so polished, beautiful and solid mechanics. The only flaw (i dont really mind it myself) it has would be linearity, but that is the case with most shooters.Mr_Zombie said:
But looking at other game reviews from eurogamer that received an 8. Uncharted is clearly better than those.
The reason i asked what amriox would give gears 3, because eurogamer gave it the same grade as uncharted 3 (undeserved imho). They must just hate good third person shooter games.

If they used thesaurus more, would their opinion be worth more to you? At the end of the day, it just means that two people who loved the previous game love this one as well, even if they can't describe it with great eloquence.LeonSKennedy90 said:

Some people can't handle Destructoid liking the game too much apparently.

It's probably the only one I've seen that described well enough what is it that makes the gameplay in these games so fun and unique.Loudninja said:

If Drinky and Mama don't call out posters in the Zelda thread, they'll just be a bunch of fanboys pointing out other fanboys in my eyes.

People wiggin' out over scores again...this is why I love the holidays.
You know it's going to be a rad game; is some guy's review going to stop you from playing it?
I'm really at a loss when trying to understand the mentality of those who lose it over reviews. Has to be children. HAS to be children.

I think what bothers me about reviews like G4's 4/5 or the 8/10's is this.
The truth of the matter about today's gaming world is that there is a lot of mediocrity all around us. There are a lot of games that try so hard to tell exciting stories, have a game engine that looks amazing, have a game that runs smoothly, have memorable moments that are actually memorable, have characters that are actually interesting, pull off believable voice acting, have multiplayer that is entertaining, and flat out deliver an experience that feels like it was made by people who know what the fuck they're doing, and don't settle for anything less than greatness.
Call me whatever name you'd like for saying that, but the fact of the matter is we KNOW Uncharted 3 delivers on those things without even playing it. Naughty Dog has delivered that experienced before, we know they're going to do it again. Now of course there could be disagreements about how great the story is, or how memorable this scene was over one in Uncharted 2, but no one is going to argue right now that Uncharted 3 won't look amazing, run amazingly smooth, play extremely well, and deliver top notch storytelling.
Only a handful of games during the year truly deliver on all those fronts. So when you see a reviewer throw down an 8/10, or a 4/5, you get the distinct feeling they're trying to make a statement. Like they're special, or different, and they see things in a more critical light. They're fully aware this game offers a polished package that almost no other game this year will deliver, and yet they're going to make sure it's not getting the highest score possible, just because they've found a few nitpicks that they'd like to talk about. If those same reviewers were handed this game, and it wasn't called Uncharted 3, it would get a higher score. Because this is Uncharted 3, they decided it was time to give a statement score.

I think it's silly to be upset about the Eurogamer score. 8 is perfectly respectable.
The actual text of the review, though, is stupid and boils down to being upset that Uncharted isn't in a genre that the writer likes (or being upset about general trends in gaming).

I love posts like this. You literally do not know what you're talking about and yet you're happy to make such definitive statements.Game Analyst said:
The only posts I like better are the ones that suggest the reviewer is biased or that he 'hated' the game to only give it an 8.
Delicious madness.

What if they truly feel the game is an '8/10' or '4/5'; is it not possible they weren't as overwhelmed as they were with UC2?BruiserBear said:
I'd rather read an honestly thought out review devoid of all hype mongering and laden with hyperbole. Reviews of that ilk are literally laughable after the fire has settled and things aren't so hot anymore. (see: any GTAIV review)
If you "know" UC3 is every bit of amazing as you believe it is then there should be no room for argument; why even read a review? Honestly, why would you? You've been convinced and your purchase is locked in.

I just love all this bickering and trying to discredit an 8/10(a great score, btw). A game NONE OF YOU HAVE EVEN PLAYED, btw. Do you realize how absolutely silly you look when you say things like, "No way is UC3 an 8/10!"
Nobody knows anything until they have played it - but the fact that people have been playing MP for three weeks, more than enough to know it isn't "tacked on" seems to be completely lost on several posters here. Instead Eurogamer keeps getting brought up when some of us never mentioned the site even once.BruiserBear said:
