Not to spoil the party, but it's not their highest score ever, they gave 9.9 to Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.


Do you have a link for that?  From what I see, they gave ghost recon advanced warfighter 8.8.

Well, that's...strange. I just watched the review for GRAW, and it states 9.1, on site is 8.8, and everywhere else you look it's 9.9...

I think that Marcus mentioned that only game rated higher on GT has recon in its name, so that was what made me google "gametrailers" and "9.9"...and indeed the results were popping all over (even Wiki states 9.9)

So either they were ashamed in retrospect for giving it such high score (though, it seems only 360 version got it) and changed it, or there's another review buried somewhere on GT.

Well I did a sort by and it didnt show up so, yeah. It's not 9.9 basically xD



GTA 4 is definitely overrated, but still- there are few open world games even today that accomplished what it did 5 years ago.

Any chance this review raising meta back to 96?

No chance at all. 94 is more likely than it keeping 95 so let's just hope it stays put :P

But I can't recall too many games that have gotten this amount of praise from so many known and famous sites (Hate them or not, still click url to see the topic) =>

Well i'm a believer and i say it's going to rise to 96 again!!! :P


Small chance really. But after few high notes in the recent days, I think 95 is stable, and it won't drop lower unless he have a troll review of course.

I've counted the average to 94,98 based on 79 reviews right now. No idea how Meta does the weight system but if it drops to under 94,50 we are looking ata 94. And this is possible with like just 1 review being in the 5/10 area. Takes an insane amount of 10's to go beyond 95 at this point too.


Yep it needs to fall below 94,50 to be 94.

But they also have a special system to value some notes over the others, it depends on the review site. You need to click the "most active" and the bigger sites are on top, and their reviews are valued from highest to lowest. And every major gaming site already made a TLoU review, so the new reviews are probably from some minor sites, whose reviews are low valued. Or at least I think so :P



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

thinking of buying a ps3 just for this title...but I do prefer zombie games like state of decay and rising dead 1...couldn't get into rising dead 2

The MP has all sorts of issues, don't get to just ignore the MP. Great single player but the MP means the score should be lower, you review all of a game.


The Multiplayer is miles ahead of UC2/3 and fits the game perfectly



Was there are a reason for the score coming so long after the review first emerged?



not too long ago, i remember people arguing that critics became more harsh in rating games because it was late in the generation. by their logic the Last of Us is a 15/10 game anyway :D



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

This is actually correct, it was their highest rated game ever at 9.9 but it looks like they changed it to an 8.8 when they redesigned the site. Pretty scummy of them.
