I can get on board with that. Although I still consider the original Jak and Daxter to be Naughty Dog's best game. But either way I think you can make a case for Naughty Dog getting better starting in 2001, although there were ups and downs in the 15 years that followed.

When the downs are Uncharted 1, a game that sits on a 88 on metacritics, sold over 5 million copies and is generaly liked by ppl who play it, and the original Crash that was quite revolutionary for its time (ppl didn't even know how to code a 3D game back them, keep that in mind) then you know the company is anything but mediocre. Someone did not get the concept of this thread it seens. Before Crash no one knew who Naughty Dog was, after it they became one of the most proiminent developers in the world and remained so troughout the years, theres absolutly no way to clain they went from mediocre to great only when they released the Last of Us cause the company was already considered one of the greatest in the business since Crash 1.

If you want to make a case for Naughty Dog being consistently great from beginning to end, I'm more than happy to entertain that.

But great scores and high sales do not a great game make. You're going to need to bring more to the table than "a lot of people like Naughty Dog games, so you're wrong."

And, for the record, the downs I was referring to don't include Drake's Fortune, a game I really like. But they do include Uncharted 3, a game that sits on a 92 on Metacritic and sold almost 7 million copies.
