No, I'm not saying a game I don't even know won't be better than Uncharted 4, but one that I already see, played a bit, and am aware of its strongs and weak points at some level, and that one of those points prevents it from reaching the likes of Uncharted 4.
I'm slamming nothing towards Nier, I was before, to be honest, the ambientation looked barren af, but playing it made my opinion lesser towards it, even as it semented it as a low point compared to its strong points, which is something that doesn't happen to Uncharted 4.

What I'm saying is pretty simple, that Nier will not be as good of a package as Uncharted 4 is, because it already showed me it won't, and thus it doesn't deserve to sit, on a supposedly professional analisys, above what Uncharted 4 reached.

But how can you be aware of its strongs and weak points, if you fail to understand the extent of these? How can you develop a sentiment of, let's say, the element of story if you haven't experienced it fully? The depthness of the gameplay after unlocking weaponry? The atmosphere past beyond the one shown in the videos (if the original Nier is anything to go by, considering that game has some aberratic changing atmospheres)? Being someone who actually doesn't know how the original Nier develops, and doesn't remotely grasp the extention of the Nier universe?

"A game I haven't played outside the demo, I hardly know anything about its predecessor, I've only watched several videos which depict one specific atmosphere which I didn't like (despite the game having more) and that I don't really get the extent of it (because I haven't played it, how could I possibly know the extention of its package?) won't be as good of a package as a game I've already extensively played on a franchise I already have a history with and thus doesn't deserve critical acclaim as much as it". That's exactly how you're sounding right now, because you've already passed judgment before Nier ever had a chance in your eyes.

It's okay, I guess. If you want to make Uncharted 4 the better of two unrelated games, then I can't stop you.

EDIT: Blergh, I meant to say "if you want to make Uncharted 4 the better of two unrelated games, one you haven't played" but my laptop was too fast for me.
