Comparing it to Uncharted 3 is rather odd when he is trying to downplay the game, even if it is one of the main criticisms of the game you can't get your point across in a meaningful way when you are drawing comparisons with such a good game. However I also wouldn't describe Uncharted 3 as 2011's GOTY when Skyrim, Portal 2 and Arkham City won tons more awards.

Nah it'll do better than that, I'm thinking a mid 70's meta, unless the game has far more interesting gameplay than what's bee shown.

The setting and everything sounds pretty amazing, but gamplay has been super underwhelming. It's not just the liniarity either. I don't like how pretty much all the "gameplay" theyve shown consists of like 50% cutscene. Every demo they play it for like a minute. Then a cutscene. Play it for like another minute then another cutscene.

I'm not judging it yet but so far the gameplay seems worrying.

its a controlled demo. cutscene and gameplay is seamless too. what does he expect?

Flop confirmed?

I agree. I HATE open world games so much repetitive BS and unneccessary framerate/resolution downgrade to accomplish that.  Most people I know who don't frequent gamer sites don't like open world games.  The only open world game they like is GTA.  Linear games are much more fun to me.  Example: I loved Assassins Creed 1 and 2 and haven't played a game since because of there "oh our world is so much more open this time" attitude, 3 and 4 are just BORING and TIRESOME to play.  On another note the Uncharted Series and Last of Us (notoriously linear) have never let me down.  Reason: I never have to go searching for action.  I am LED to action.

Of course everybody who has anything Negative to say is a jealous hater... Or prehaps they just genuinly don't like the look of whats been shown so far.. It's possible to not like a Sony exclusive and not be a jealous hating fanboy you know.

Im starting to get worried about this game to be honest. Thought the setting looked cool when it was first announced. Since then I can't say ive been overly impressed with what ive seen. Plenty of time till release but at the moment it's going on the "wait for price drop or two" pile.

A single player cover shooter, they arent reinventing the wheel or anything. If the game gets like a 10 hour campaign it should be fine.

Sounds like a recap of the entire 7th generation if I'm honest.

I am expecting a score between 72 and 77!

Its clear you have never played an RAD game before. Their games are incredible and I expect this one to be no less.

A 90+ MetaScore prediction from me :).
