Shit I still haven't played the first three... might just have to skip to 4.

From what I hear, do not do that. I've heard it's great regardless, but so much more so if you've played the others and have really gotten to know the characters.

lol dang... Didn't they rerelease the first three? Might have to get that and burn through them.

Yeah, they released the trilogy on the PS4 last year.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I don't get it. How are they doing it then? :/

We don't have any idea of what the weights are.  Some researchers were trying to figure it out, and found a pretty good match, but Metacritic said the weights were terribly wrong.  

Basically you could have it set up where 1 reviewer gives the game a 0/10 and another reviewer gives it a 10/10, and metacritic could say because of the weights that the score is 7.5/10.  Depending on how powerful the weights are, you can get some very differing results.  

While i understand the sentiment behind Metacritic's weightings, they (at least as far as i can find) do it so lightly that it barley seems worth it. Their final scores are rarely more than 1 point outside of a game's actual rounded average. It seems like an awful lot of effort (and a frequent point of criticism at the site) for something so small.

To use the Uncharted series itself as an example:

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - 88 vs 88.64
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - 96 vs 96.19
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - 92 vs 92.23
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (as of 69 reviews) - 94 vs 94.63

Edit: Fixed UC2's 'proper' average (I thought it looked odd so i double checked it, and indeed i missed some 95's).



Lol mooch and the like are having a mental breakdown.

You'll miss out on the history of the different characters.

Just reading a resume of the history of the 3 games should be enough

I'm glad it was, if it means a better game AND leaving room for GT: Sport and The Last Guardian.

If TLG and GT:Sport comes out this year.

You are already to blame for P5 delay, if GT and TLG get delayed I'll be blaming you on that as well!

Ha! Don't worry, they're other games too.

ND raising the bar as expected.

Yup, which is shared by plenty of other reviewers.

Hence the words "if it means". :)

ND are one trick ponies.

I'll start blaming you for every single delay if you meant it XP
