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.

Ok so it makes even less sense you can't say a game that has a 92 metascore, sold millions, pleased most gamers (most of the criticism the game gets is that it is not as good as one of the greatest games of all times) and won multiple game of the year awards is mediocre, sorry you just can't. You can say "I don't like it", but the thing is objectively well developed/made.

And realy I'm not making a case, its is a fact, the company was considered one of the greatest videogaming companies troughout the whole Playstation history, I'm not giving an opinion, thats not what I think or don't. Sony bought the company straight away after Crash 1 and ND served as a center for teaching other Sony devs how to code for the PS and later for the PS2. Crash became the face of the Playstation console and was way more sucessfull then Sony ever expected it to, even on their most optmistic predictions. You can't say the company was mediocre when it is considered one of the greatest by everyone in the business and it is having it's games laureated left and right, selling non stop and having critical and fan aclaim, it is not a matter of opinion.

Eventually you're going to have to show some faith in your own opinions and not hide behind critical scores or sales or popular opinion. When you reach that point I'd be happy to have a serious debate with you. Until then, enjoy the rest of the day.
