Getting a lower than 9 score isn't really what people are bothered by. It's the obvious "troll-sense" from a review that grades a game with as low a score as 40%/100%. That should signify a fundamentally broken submission, not a title that has 88 others critically praising it. It's also the fact that that very same site gave it a 100. Which is it? 40% or 100%? That's where the problem(s) stem from.

The issue with your post it the idea that this 40% is a justified "reality-check" to many, many fans who feel the same way that every other reviewer feels. I get the criticism you're receiving. That's all, man.

Justified or not, I'm still hoping for a reality check or wake up call for those two points:

1. Opinions differ

2. Some games ride on their superb visuals and presentation, which tend to mask the quality of the story and other things.

My hope is simply that it got a few people thinking, even if just a little.

In the case of Uncharted 4, the game has outstanding visuals, but it also has great gameplay, controls, story and storytelling, as well as compelling level design. Especially compared to the first three games. It may not be your cup of tea, but to say Uncharted 4 is all visuals and barely anything else is ignorant or as CGI implied, just plain trolling.

There are many bad offenders in the industry, but Naughty Dog certainly isn't one of them. They put a lot of care into making their games, and they don't rush them out like some others do, like EA and Ubisoft, for example. Now, you may not like this kind games that marry action type gameplay with a more cinematic approach, but to say these types of games are a problem because you prefer games from when you were a teenager comes off as you being narrow minded.

There's a place for all types of games. No need for a reality check for fans of any of those games.

And besides, the review that you use as an "open season" to bash the game is a satire. That you took it seriously and use it as bullets to fit your agenda is quite amusing.
