I'm going with 92, or an upset 89.

 

[WeWereGiants]

Going with an 89 for this one, I can't see it being much higher than a 90

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

There's no way some of the huge marketing budget wasn't for sucking up to or even paying off reviewers for this game. It's getting at least a 95.

 

[FTF]

Oh nice I was thinking noon tomorrow! 12am is much better...though since I'm on the east coast I won't see scores till the morning.

Are you serious?...

 

[HardRojo]

God damn someone just revealed a major spoiler about the game on a twitch stream I was watching! Ah well...

Still expecting a 93+ metacritic score overall.

This is why I've been avoiding Twitch like the plague for a week now. Civil War and Uncharted 4 spoilers are something I don't want right now, and it's worse because some of my friends here in Peru have already played the game or are playing through it right now.

How long till reviews drop? An hour?
Edit: Oh, PST lol, I'll just read the review thread tomorrow then.

 

[MegaSackman]

I really do hope it reviews well. It's kind of carrying the beacon for cinematic story driven AAA third person linear shooters right now. After the critical performance of games like Quantum Break and The Order 1886, I'm hoping Uncharted 4 cements that actually the genre is still very much able to get to those previous critical heights, so long as the quality is there. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Well, Tomb Raider did quite well but you're somehow right, this is the main game right now with real possibilities of leading awards at the end of the year. It depends on how it turns out.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Are you serious?...

Dead serious.

 

[Hip Hop]

I think you guys will be surprised when this game becomes a 78/100 game.

I love it.

You're gonna get tears ether way, whether it's a smashing hit or not.

gonna be epic.

 

[Chamber]

97 minimum, guaranteed.

 

[Vire]

Worked well for Destiny's 76.

Err wait.

 

[NateDrake]

Dead serious.

My check must've gotten lost in the mail then. Damn. 3/100 score incoming.

 

[boredandlazy]

Dead serious.

If it gets a great score, could it potentially be due to the quality of the game?

It's Naughty Dog. "Well" is a given. Consider how long they've been crafting it, what it means to the studio, and everything we've seen to date.

Review scores don't work like they used to. we've got less granular rating system and reviewers more willing to use the spectrum available to them. Whatever the metacritc turns out to be, I'm confident that this game will be one of the most critically and commercially successful games of the year.

My check must've gotten lost in the mail then. Damn. 3/100 score incoming.

It got delayed by 2 weeks.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Really annoying how they didn't decide to release this on 5/6. It's still a delay, and they normally have the big games release on a Friday so people can enjoy it on the weekend -- I remember them doing this with TLOU.

The reviews lift on 5/5, and I'm sure most stores have their copies. Why did they go for the 10th and not the 6th? I really don't get it... ugh, would love to be playing it this weekend.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Go for it. Everyone except you is getting paid, so it's time to make a statement. Rip the game a new diskhole in your review for a big fuck you to Sony.

 

[nib95]

Well, Tomb Raider did quite well but you're somehow right, this is the main game right now with real possibilities of leading awards at the end of the year. It depends on how it turns out.

I completely forgot about RotTR, which is currently sitting at 86. I certainly really enjoyed the game, though did think the story/characters, coupled with the sludgy aiming and input lag let it down somewhat. An issue I never experienced with the Definitive Edition or previous release on the 360. Weirdly no reviewers seemed to pick up on it.

Then again, RotTR also follows a sort of wide linear design ideology. It certainly has copious amounts of linear design (especially towards the beginning of the game), but at the same time it has an almost open ended design in other parts, what with the different hub areas etc, so I'm not sure it's fully comparable. That said, from what I've read or seen, ND seems to also be going a semi wide linear route with Uncharted 4, so maybe a similar thing will apply.

 

[B.O.O.M]

This

It's cz West Coast is the best Coast..can't blame em

OT: I expect a 90-92 honestly. Can see a few polarizing reviews dragging it down.

 

[Hedrush]

After reading some of the early impressions im going all in with a 97.

 

[fastmower]

Are you okay???

 

[demigod]

I'm going with a 94 minimum metacritic. Damn cant wait to see the scores!

 

[jediyoshi]

I'm expecting a single negative review will send half of the posters in the review thread spiralling into a tirade about how this reviewer is biased/looking for hits/poorly written/etc.

Like clockwork. Every time, without fail.

Fortunately I think these posts are already the new vogue

EDIT: See, its starting already!

If that review is from Polygon it will be The Last of Us all over again.

Wtf? What are you talking about? Tales from your ass? Its pretty serious what you are implying.

 

[malfcn]

Any gutless "provisional" reviews?

lol

 

[Aporia88]

I can't see it scoring below a 92, but with the era of inflated review scores behind us I also can't imagine it reaches Uncharted 2's 96. I'll split the difference and go with 94.

Unless these posts are in jest. The meltdowns may be starting early....

Below 90 is hard to see for me. Can't remember if I said 93 or 94, but yeah one of those.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

If it gets a great score, could it potentially be due to the quality of the game?

Nope. He has excluded that possibility. Brilliant.

 

[Frag Waffles]

Sticking with a 91 average prediction. Gonna be fun watching the reviews unfold here in a couple hours.

 

[TetraGenesis]

lol

 

[PanicFreak]

I said 89 in my "10 game prediction". That will probably be 4 points off. I'm going with a 93 now.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I think we have seen our first meltdown and not a single review was needed to trigger it.
