i dont think uncharted has a 90's average, and i still think, its the best and most fun i've had on the ps3 so far.

I do not base my opinions on scores. I base my opinion on when I actually play the game. However, I still follow scores, because the higher the score, the higher the chance, my opinion will follow the scores. See? It is still important to follow scores, because otherwise, you're jumping blindfolded, and there's way too much shovel ware out there. However, it is important not to judge by the numbers, but to read the reasons for the numbers, and decide if they seem legit or not. You like Uncharted, and that's fine. Universally, it is claimed not to be a masterpiece, according to review sites, assuming that 90%+ is the mark of a masterpiece. Hey, some people like Superman 64 and ET for Atari (I know... Crazy world we live in), so really, no matter how bad, or good a game is, someone out there, loves it, or hates it.


the problem is we are expecting masterpieces for every game released on the hd consoles, that's just not fair. All i want is a good, fun game to play. Like i said 80 and up.


And 80+, it will be. I used to go by 80+, but then I raised the bar to 90+, and really, now, I don't care that much anymore. Heck, I bought Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, which is at around 46, just to see how "good" it really was. Don't judge a game by its score. Don't judge a game by what you read before you play it. Judge a game after you play it, however, let the scores guide you before making a purchase, for you to have your final opinion. Don't ignore everything, and blindly buy a game, because if you do that, there's a 99.9% chance you're going to buy shovel ware. Yes, there's that much out there. Go ahead, ignore everything, follow your opinion, and pay $60 for Petz: Horses 2, so you can have your opinion on that game. No, seriously, your opinion is most important, but unfortunately, you have to "buy" the game before you can have your opinion, is it's smarter to do some research on how good the game really is, before you buy the game, and have your final opinion on it. Research, meaning read the reviews, and not look at just the scores.
