" No matter what, if a game is not innovative it will NEVER get a higher score than what we gave UNCHARTED 2, when a developer puts together everything that other devs have done its basically a me 2 thing, Uncharted 2 is exactly like the first game, be happy we said buy it if you have a ps3"

Gears of War 1  : 9.1

Gears of War 2 : 9.5

whats innovative about Gears 2?

 

Uncharted 1 : Single player only

Uncharted 2 : + Online ,  + coop , + matchmaking ++++++++  blah blah blah.

Guess i'll leave you alone in the dark Gametrailers

 

Horde mode.

They had horde mode in Timesplitters 2 (?) on PS2, XBOX and GC (?). So NO, not innovative.

Now I don't have a problem with a 9.3 at all, by all means it is a great score. The "problem" however is when he gives the explanation he does, and clearly shows that he has not followed that model on neither GeOW2, Halo3 nor GTA4 and possibly a lot of other games, you know he is talking shit. And then in top of that, they give a 4-6 hour, $60 expansion pack like ODST which almost show NO innovation nor improvement from it's predecessor an 8.9 you can clearly see that their review system is broken.

In addition, their Uncharted 2 review was full of (possible) spoilers... Like they almost did it on purpose because they can't be that stupid... Honestly...

My opinion on the matter, however I do not care.

Well Viacom, which owns gametrailers, is definitely in bed with microsoft.

Kevin Johnson, president of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services Division, said, “We are delighted to establish this long-term partnership with Viacom. Viacom’s portfolio of original content and strong consumer brand connections are a terrific complement to Microsoft’s web, gaming and digital advertising assets. This deal is another milestone in our quest to build a world-class advertising platform to serve the broad needs of advertisers and publishers. If ever there was a ‘win-win’ partnership across two companies, this is it.”

I think that guy with the Juri avatar, the guy with the horse (I think it was a horse) avatar and I decided that this thread shall be no more :(



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

I think its a massive Conspiracy against SONY and the PS3 led by the Illuminati.

If we all boycot Game Trailers we may be able to derail their filthy subversive plans.

9.3 isn't good enough now? This is getting ridiculous.

A) Don't tell me you don't have a problem with the score when you've cherry picked three games that they gave a better score to than Uncharted 2 to compare it with.

B) Prove to me that the same person wrote all of those reviews. Different people review things differently.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

If you are talking about me, it's a kangaroo, but i forgive your confusion :)

Hahaha, I have no problem with the actual score, everyone is entitle to their opinion and while it's lower than I think the game deserve, it was not really contraversal.

But the justification is a load of shit, they shouldn't have taken the fanboy bait, not their integrity is shot because a reviewer got pissed and decided to justify himself with all the wrong reason.
