I predict a Metascore of 94, so a moderate critical flop.

Spoiler:

You are foolish for reading this. You could have seriously spoiled the game for yourself. For Nathan's sake, restrain yourself! 

So, critical flop. You should start your career as a fortune teller.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


So unless I'm mistaken, Uncharted 4 is now the highest rated non port/remastered 8th gen game. So congrats to Naughty Dog on this.

Yeah last gen. This gen all liniar games flopped so for in metacritic, but these reviewers at metacritic seem to make an exeption for Naughty Dog.

U4 doesnt have different endings either

Do you really struggle to accept the fact that all linear games so far this gen have been underwhelming while Naughty Dog nailed it, as they've been doing it since the first Crash Bandicoot ?

That's kinda sad. 

Well why has rise of the tomb raider gotten a 86 then? it wasnt liniar, and no liniar game with zero back tracking deserves such a high score like 94 to be honest. Its unfair to all the other games who give a huge effort designing their maps etc.

I am not wishing upon a bad review but it only takes 1 troll review to ruin its 90s meta. Forza Horizon 2 reviewed a 2/10 out of its 85 reviews. Uncharted 4 will most likely gain another 30 reviews for its AAA appearence. You never know. As for the score 8.8 is what i guessed from IGN for its campaign (Dont care for the MP)

8.8 is still fantastic. Metacritic has become a joke lately. MGS5 sits on a 93 and that game was not by any means a GOTY game.  UC4 might still sit in the 90s and i would say its lowest could be a 8.8 but i think a 9.2 is reasonable.

It would take much, MUCH more than one "troll review" to drop the score 6 points. So no, that won't happen.

I Don't think that  Any source of Video Game Journalism make "Troll Reviews".

WHy does it not deserve it and how is it now fair to other games? Maybe ROTR got an 86 because it was a good game just not as good as UC4...is there something wrong with that? Neither is a bad game so what is the issue? Maybe UC4 executed things better than ROTR and was for fulfilling...I don't get what the issue you have with the score is.....also side note..... Are you the same person who made the FFXV grpahics thread?

Looking very likely that it will stay at 94 metacritic now, unless IGN's final review is a 10/10 or way below their current score of 8.8. And even then it might stay at 94.

@Ruler

Seriously? What's wrong with linear games, and why on default non-linear games would be better? Also larger areas don't necessarily take more effort they just take different kind of effort. And also the scores are not based on effort, but the end result of that effort.

Sure we have opinions but saying that [non-linear > linear]  is always the case is BS. By those standards we should base review scores on map size.

IMO non-linearity ruined Metal Gear series, (but It's great in Warrior Within) yet I understand why many people liked MGSV. Whether linearity is a good thing is based entirely on the game at hand, the same shoes just won't fit every feet...
