DivinePaladin said: If damn good is a poorly paced plodding through common tropes established by The Road and other hits from the genre, then either the people rating it that highly are living in a hole since they've somehow missed all of it, or their scales need rebalancing, with all due respect. That's not up for debate. If the rest of the game executed the tropes as well as the hypocritical, jaded old man and the feisty, edgy young girl concepts, then I'd have no problem here outside of some clear gameplay flaws. But it doesn't. It introduces characters you know immediately will be killed off and passes it off as moving. Hell even in the beginning there's a faux attempt at world building when Joel and Tess are having that out of nowhere conversation naming random names that they know as characters/smugglers but we as players don't know to seem deep.

This is one most ridiculous things I've ever read. Having tropes in a video game doesn't automatically make it stupid, badly written or whatever you're implying in your posts. The game falls or stands on its own gameplay and how well it's written depending on the importance of the story.
A lot of critically acclaimed games are full of tropes and cliches. Mario, for an example, has the simple premise of saving an underdeveloped princess from an underdeveloped evil dinosaur (we know it's evil because it has an evil face and sharp spikes on it's back). But they used this simple premise to create the most successful and well received platforming games in the gaming industry. Also, the first three Metal Gear Solid games are full of action movie cliches, which are important to the plot because one might argue that they were used to deconstruct the action hero archetype.

Why is Uncharted 2 score the expectation to Uncharted 4? |
Why is Uncharted 2 score the expectation to Uncharted 4? Because it's a sequel on new hardware and you'd hope it'd be better than a decade old game? I really dont think it can surpass expectations when the last two games are among the best reviewed ones on all time on old hardware and one of them got better reviews
Jesus Christ. Uncharted 4 is so Last of Us in terms of it's camera placement and movement. Melee is so fun now compared to old Uncharted series. The impact that they did with the last of us coupled with a very fluid mechanic. God dammit. Uncharted 3 had the worst implementation of melee though so I'm glad they picked it up.
Now I'm crying that game didn't make it to this gen instead.
Aside from that. Best Fan Service EVER. And I mean that in a really good way.

Because most games had worse score this gen than on the previous? Any Zelda that get less than 99 haven't met expectation?
Are you sure you aren't claiming something no one else is claiming just to make the game look worse and you feel better?

Though i dont think you can call 9,4 really worse than 9,5/9,6( thé best being the 9,5 game, TLOU) , pretty much the same thing so i dont think Uncharted enters in thé category of thé games that really scored worse than thé previous one ( especially since the previous is at 9,2 )
Anyway, i never saw such hâte and downplay attempt for a game with such excellent reviews, crazy. Maybe thé marketing makes people mad

That's great to hear. The Last of Us worked so well while Uncharted 3 was so clumsy - especially with melee. I hope we can look back and call Uncharted 3 Naughty Dog's mulligan.
Based on everything i read, i think this game will be great for anyone who isnt too much fan of thé ridiculous escalation of action in Uncharted and préfered TLOU and thé way thé game takes it's time to build atmosphère, characters and their relationships

To be fair, both sides are acting childish. ND fans are coronating a game they haven't played based on critics whose opinions, depending on the day and time, either matter nothing at all or represent the word of God. And ND detractors are downplaying a major coup in scores and potential sales by moving goalposts all over the place.
Let's just wait to play the damn game, and then form an opinion on its worth.
But to be fair to ND fans, thats à normal behavior for a fan when hé/she hears a majority of great opinions about the game they wait to be super hyped about it based on thé opinions they read and thé gameplay vidéos they see.
I can bet Gears/Zelda fans will do the same when well get réal long gameplay and then opinions on thé game, if its childish, it's common for most gamers to be that childish then.
( and for me im more à fan of TLOU than à fan of ND, even if i loved crash Bandicoot )
