Uncharted |OT|
- Thread starter steve
- Start date
I don't know why people are saying there is nothing ground breaking. Sure, it is not the first action/adventure game to feature platforming and gunplay. But, it does feature the best animation video games has ever seen: animation blending/layering. On top of that, it also features top notch texture work, depth of field and motion blur done right, amazingly well done voice work that engages the player, and some nice music to boot. The fighting, in my opinion, is how combat should be done: timing, 3D positioning, and realistic movements. Plus, Uncharted is the first game to have 4D elements down pat. One of my favorite features, though, is that there is no health bar: it all relies on luck. In my opinion, all that combined is pretty ground breaking.

Reminds me, that "reviews without scores" philosophy is great.
I mean, the game reporter will be somewhat forced to go more into detail, no more Graphics = XX/10 without any elaboration. Instead the reporter will have to describe the good and bad things in detail.
Personally I'm feed up with reviews where the reporter doesn't go in depth but instead uses the score to tell the story. I want to have a feeling of the reporter actually having played the game (I bet we all have experienced countless reviews where the reporter overlook essential parts of the game and often even write untrue/misinformed things while being vague... on purpose?).
Review scores are for indexing games, not shortcuts for the reviewers.
The use of decimal scores also annoy me, games should instead be split up into categories like: AFW, Great, Playable, Stay Away without differing between the games in each category.
Then we'd also avoid the silly Mario Tennis is better than MGS3 or this game scored a perfect 10.
And let's be realistic, the reporters aren't qualified to differ between games at a 1:100 resolution. ^.^ Not many people are.

I like scores but when they can be balanced out. Scores give me a quick way to see if something is worth it more than another. Problem is there is no guide or ruler for criticism. If this game has this amount of sparks do we score it higher? Its unquantifiable so therefore we should not quantify it. So in other words I agree with you.
One big thing that annoys me is how sports games get higher scores. Even worst is the fact that sequels get scored better than original IP and then journalist/gamers have the nerve to wonder why there a very few original IPs. I think the people that branch out should be awarded not punished.

should we go back to predicting gamespot scores?tanod said:That's it. I'm bailing out of the thread. We're digging into spoiler territory.
