I just want to say that GameReactors chief editor changed his mind regarding the graphics. He claims it is by far the best on consoles period. Now I need to see it for myself, but it seems that the weak stuff we saw wasn't.. entirely a representation of the final product since he was thinking just like I have been led to believe based on the recent demo mostly... Then again, Joel cant even get bloodied up in that demo so it clearly lacks a few stuff.

I think ..yeah, I will eat a large plate of crow for saying Uncharted 3 and God of War Ascension will probably end up having the better graphics. The fact that TLOU is more wide-linear makes me a bit sceptical until I play it, but it sure seems like ND has some insane wizardry up their asses to do what they've seemingly done.

Not long until I get the game. Its been sent by accident from the store I bought it at haha xD

So TLOU on metacritic on the home page says 96 but when you click it says 95 with 54 reviews. 

And there is now 28 perfect scores!!

The home page on metacritic is the most recently updated data.

Alright so it legit went back up to 96?  Awesome.  

And I miscounted. It's 27 perfects not 28

for comparion's sake, how many perfect scores did UC2 & UC3 get?

UC2 had 39 and UC3, I think, had 21.

*edit* UC3 had 24

the team behind UC2 is as good as it gets!!  66 perfect scores in two games!!(thus far)  Amazing!! The team behind UC3 better step up their game!!  Need a lot of perfect scores in their nxt game to catch up!! lol... 


UC3 feels pammed by critics when compared to The Last of Us and Uncharted 2...LOL

I'm praying this doesn't turn out to be like ME3.

I doubt ME3 got straight 10's. Almost every reviewer has praised Naughty Dogs brilliance.

What really baffles me is that most reviewers giving it a 10 are actually listing some flaws in the game, but THEY STILL give it a perfect score. And this has been happening with most AAA titles since GTAIV and has been done with pletora of games.The reviewing system is clearly broken when videogaming is the only media getting 3-5 Citizen Kanes every year.

Just because it's a 10/10 doesn't mean the game is absolutely perfect.  At least in the gaming world it doesn't.  Like with IGN a 10 means "masterpiece" not "perfect".   And there may be flaws but might be very heavily outweighed by all of the games pros.

IGN doesnt give a game a 10 for being flawless. go read what they give 10's for and then you will understand why they give good games like these 10's

I wouldn't mind that, ME3 is amazing.

There is no such thing as a perfect game.... so what we should do is just remove the 10 from the scoring scale... wait then that would mean a 9 is a perfect game... lets remove that as well... err.... 8's, 7's, 6's, 5's, 4's, 3's, 2's, and 1's as well.... In short a 10/10 does not mean the game is perfect and you are baffled for no reason

Yeah because getting 24 perfect scores is "bad" LOL. Really shows the quality of ND. But in all fairness: A lot of people worked on TLOU AND UC3. ND has said themselves that there really isnt a Team X dedicated for this and Team Y dedicated for that. They kind of help each other out and several people seem to go around. So yeah.
