That review won't be on Metacritic.. if it even is a review. HonestGamer isnt on their critic list.

Its 93 based on 61 reviews. I believe another 80 was added.

Metacritic comparison:

UC2 had 38 perfect scores.
UC3 has 18 perfect scores.

UC2 had 2 reviews under 90.
UC3 has 5 reviews under 90.

UC2 had no mixes and no negative.
UC3 has one mixed which is total bogus and no negative.

When you think about it, it isn't really bad. It's just that: When somebody asks you what game won GOTY, practically everyone (if not taking a lot of sites into account) will say this or that for this or that year. But when speaking 2009, Uncharted 2 took more awards than I have ever seen a game take and it scored as the highest PS3 exclusive ever. Uncharted 3 at the moment is just behind LittleBigPlanet which scored 95 and got GOTY in 2008. Its also behind Metal Gear Solid 4 which is considerd as one of the best games of all time by many including myself (runner up GOTY in 2008 along with Fallout 3).

Uncharted 3 is a huge success and Metacritic prooves that, despite that AV club review. Don't just focus on the negative guys.

technically, its already below 93. Standard average is at 92.85, but meta still has it at 93. looks like my previous theory of them rounding down is wrong. I'm guessing that meta's weighted average is at around 92.8+ also and is rounded up to 93.

publicatons that mean anything that are yet to review U3 are gameshark and gamespy as they probably have larger weights as compared to others using meta's list of which sites are the most popular since these two are in the top 15 most popular sites.

Put the point aside. The game has been praised beyond a bare critical acclaim. Thats what I was refering to with my post. Naughty Dog should be happy as hell.

we'll find out once first weeks sales come out :P reviews and recognition is great but great sales is where the real joy will come from



Now 62 critics on meta.



Sorry for English :/

i think i didn't see advertisement for uncharted or uncharted 2 in germany but i saw some fpr 3 now so i think in germany sales will rise a lot.



I just completed the game. Not going to spoil anything;

BUT IT IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE PLAYED THIS GENERATION.

I love MGS4 dearly, I really do but oh my fucking god. Naughty Dog, you are amazing A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!!!1

My thoughts on Uncharted 3 (spoiler free):


And I just have to get this off my chest.



I do know some people will disagree, and some will agree; but quite frankly, I don't give a damn xP.



Since 2008 June, I was wow'd beyond what I thought was possible when I played MGS4 after I just joined these boards. I was like; Whats the fuzz all about? (as I really had no idea about games in general, and the communities, reviews etc; I just bought whatever I found in stores).



Short said: I played MGS4, pledged alliengence to Sony for having the greatest game I have ever played on their platform (don't ask XD). Ever since then, I have continued to be amazed by games like Uncharted 2 and God of War 3. One for each year, respectively. And while all of those games have been truly outstanding, despite U2's 96, and GoW3's 92, none of them in my opinion could really combat MGS4, despite it's 94.

I had really watched a lot of UC3 videos and stuff, so I honestly felt a bit sad over that fact just the days before I was to get it. But after playing this, I only have one statement to make:

I did not think it was possible. I did not think I was going to ever be amazed at how well a game has been made. Metal Gear Solid 4 presented a Story that was so complex, and while years of reading up on it, playing the past games and understanding it to a certain extent; some things did not fully make sense to me. Regardless, I love the game(s), I love the character(s) and I love the way Kojima has created the MGS franchise. Now I need you all to sit down if you aren't already (that goes for smartphone users as I am asuming you're sitting if you're infront of a PC XD).

Uncharted 3, is the greatest game that I have played in my life time thus far. From the amazing story telling, audio/soundtrack/voice acting, the holy shit fuck making epic melee mechanics that I fucking love so badly YOU have NO idea, the insane cutscenes, the graphics that will NOT be beaten until the next generation launches (yes I seriously believe that), from fire, to water, to sand, from the plot and twists that I truly was shocked to see despite watching so much of the game before release, from the love-able characters all the way to the despise-able villains...

This game is my favourite game this generation and since this is my first generation where I truly feel like i took part in something; Uncharted 3 is the best game I have ever played. E V E R. I realize this is a bold statement, and ofcourse we all have different taste but this simply applies to me; and i wanted to share it. I can't wait for what the future holds. Naughty Dog are the most talented developers on the PS3 in my opinion and I see the Uncharted franchise becoming very very spoken about in the future; as the pinnacle of story telling with great interaction. It really makes Uncharted 2 and MGS4 feel like movies where you barely interact!



The game also had soundtracks with arabic "feel" to them, with arabian language and well.. I am persian, but it was so amazing to see the middle-eastern parts.



I simply had to share my opinions! Keep this a happy topic please, or don't keep this alive at all. Read if you wish.

Thank you Naughty Dog!

Thank you!



what i wonder is, i didn't read till this sentence

"I do know some people will disagree, and some will agree; but quite frankly, I don't give a damn"

if you don't give a fuck about what other people think, and i've read this minimum five times in this thread from you, why are you here every freakin minute talking about reviews and whatever? you don't give a fuck what others think right? ahh yeah all because of your bet sure but wait...don't you give a fuck about other opinions? how could you make a bet then?

just curious because if you donÄt care what other people think why do you even communicate with them? i don't talk with people when i don't care about what they say that makes no sense

 

you know why? because you care more than anybody else here in this thread you can deny it as often as you like it's obviously. you would'nt talk about every freaking review otherwise if you wouldn't care what othere people here say to you

I am here to share my view to anyone that will read this. But ultimately if everyone said: Gtfo;
I would not care.

Do you wanna know why I am here? I'm here because I share the same interest with many people on these boards. Interest =/= caring what they think about me. Same interest simply means we have some things in common and I am here to share my opinion on those things, despite what you or them will think about me.

 

Damn, did I offend you or anything? You've acted quite hostile towards me..
Not that I care

Not really that much of a bold statement since you haven't played games for that long.



Meta added...

Playstation Universe 95
Worth Playing 90
The Escapist 90
