Both are stellar developers known for really pushing hardware and making great games. |
Metroid Prime 3 and DKCR didn't push the hardware, and metascores of 87 and 90 are not stellar.
Let's face it, they're known for ONE game - Metroid Prime - which was both stellar and pushed the hardware. Most key staff had left after Prime or Prime 2. They're living on a memory.

Naughty Dog
Uncharted - 89.67
Uncharted 2 - 96.38
uncharted 3 - 91.78
Retro Studios
Metroid Prime - 96.35
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - 92.05
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - 90
Donkey Kong Country Returns - 87.87
Scores look rather even accross the board buddy!
Only thing is that Retro hasn't released anything in a while, whereas Nuaghty dog have the last of us coming out very soon.

I have no problem with this argument in and of itself, but please for the love of God, Naughty Dog is not just Uncharted. They've been part of Sony since the PS1 era and their pedigree for both highly rated and commercially successful game goes a lot deeper in the well than just Uncharted and The Last of US.

I think he was doing you and Naughty Dog a favor. You could add Jak and Dexter and Crash Bandicoot but I really doubt you'd want to add examples like Way of the Warrior, Rings of Power and Keef the Thief. Retro Studios 'worst' product is Metroid Prime Hunters but that already outscored three of Naughty Dogs more memorable games.

1) Naughty Dog pre-Sony definitly wasn't the same studio as after.
2) I wasn't arguing with him about the statement of quality from metacritic scores. I am just sick of people who thinks Uncharted is the only thing Naughty Dog has ever done.
So regardless, the point stands: For good or bad, Naughty Dog is not just Uncharted.
