McClaren- I'm not saying it can't stay high. I actually think it will. I'm just saying we can't base that off anything here. Actually I would think it to be nice to see the media do their job properly every now and then. Liking a game based on it's merits and of course opinion along with not liking a game for the exact opposite. Just doesn't happen all that often.

I understand. I just meant we can't really know how the media handles it until the end of October. So at that time we can look at it again in hindsight.
| Zucas said: Well although I'm very happy that many are excited for Uncharted 2 and glad reviewers think it is good, this is kinda silly. I know most people are familiar with this, but I'll state it again anyways. Generally publishers ask that if you review a game before release, that the score be something rather positive. Meaning they don't want reviewers giving bad reviews before it comes out to not give the game "negative" hype. Of course this goes against everything a critic is supposed to do, it is how it works. What that means, is well before launch, such as this, publishers try to get review copies out as early as possible and encourage that they review it well early such that they can use it in extended advertising. What this means is, generally, all early reviews are going to be positive and have good scores. Which is why most scores always go down after release and not up. After the release occurs, those that had been held back for whatever reason release their scores which drives down the overall average. Thus looking at the metacritic score right now may be appealing but in no way reflective. We are all excited for Uncharted 2 and hope that it gets reviewed with marvelous scores, but this not the proper way to do it. Especially on stacked evidence fallacies haha. Let's see how the ratings are a week or 2 after launch and we'll go from there. But traditionally games that are in that range will be in the low to mid 90s at the end of it all like MakingMusic stated. There are only very rare cases where this doesn't happen such as Galaxy but we aren't talking about the norm there. I'm only saying this because, getting hopes up under silly premises is not a good thing. Instead we should glorify in the already good reviews and just use that as a way to get personally hyped for the game on Oct 13 instead of using it as a way to deduce anything falsely. Of course I know, don't bring the logic in here. Sorry but it's a habit haha. |
IGN is the only site that had an exclusive review. The embargo is over for all reviewers now, as far as I know.
Also, the combo of Edge/Eurogamer should be enough to convince anybody of a game's quality. Those guys don't bow to anybody, and are traditionally harsh to all games, especially ps3 games. A 9 and a 10 from those guys respectively means a hell of a lot.
And if you reread my post, I said it will probably fall between LBP and SMG in the end. As in 95-97. That's not "low to mid" 90s. If you recall, numrous posts like yours were made when LBP started getting 9s and 10s left and right. :P

Well I adjusted your post to sound a little more reasonable in well the light of reason haha. But yes numerous posts like this are made simply because they make sense. I'm taking nothing of of Uncharted 2, simply taking off of illogical deductions based of things such as this. Keeping, or at least attempting to keep, thingsto at least a certain level of modesty. Personally I think a 95 or 96 is a good estimation based off these early reviews of where it'll hit a resting point. Of course, as I said, "shit happens".
Great news for Uncharted 2, can't wait to get my hands on the game.

I hope this remains the highest rated ps3 exclusive.
ZOMG Uncharted 2 is the new best game ever made and it is exclusive for the PS3. If you want Uncharted 2 you have to buy a PS3.
Uncharted 2 on 98 but it could reach 99 on Metacritic/Game Rankings or get to top of the all time Metacritic/Game Rankings Chart.

That`s until The Last Guardian releases and you count out every biased review from ign, gamespot and other shitty anti-ps3 sites.
| dorbin2009 said: Fun stuff, I say this with sincerity though, can PS3 owners back it up with amazing sales? Only time will tell. |
well it will sell better than the 1st one, but id rather have a game like this, than a much lesser game that has more sales.
