Uncharted 2, More Perfect Scores than Halo 3 and Gears of War

GWAVE - 70 days 13 hours ago

This is just my personal opinion/prediction, but I don't think MW2 will live up to the hype. It will sell a TON, but Infinity Ward just seems like they're making the player too much of a super-soldier. Certain review sites will shower it with praise, but my guess is that it will land somewhere between a 90 and 93 on Metacritic.

Oh, and Little Big Planet is also higher-rated than Halo 3 or Gears. MGS4 has the same average as Halo 3 and it is higher-rated than Gears (and besides, we all know Halo 3's high score was very undeserved).

How is this significant? GTAIV has how many perfect scores? Uncharted 2 is far from being a perfect game. A perfect score is only indicative of how much a reviewer has bought into the excitement of a game and then a few month later he's reflective and realizes that, maybe I wasn't objective in reviewing this game. And this goes for all the highly lauded games this gen, not just Uncharted 2 or Halo 3 or GTAIV or Gears of War. I know when I played those games I was awed but a few months later, I played the same game and realize the shallowness of the story, the repetitive gameplay and having been familiar with the title, how little content it offers. That's why so many games this generation are labeled overrated but who "overrated" them in the first place. We did, reviewers did, because in that moment, we aren't being objective, we're relishing the experience.

Edit; Wow, so many disagress. Yay for the immaturity of fanboys.

Think I'd rather know which I'd rather have, even if I do have to sacrifice a 0.2 average.

EDIT:

1.4 - I couldn't agree more personally. GTAIV won so many 10/10's and I had to strive to finish it personally. After playing UC1 on my girlfriends PS3, I wasn't too impressed and it got great scores. Guess this is another one of those stories.

I love how 360 fans say they played the game or the first one and say they weren't impressed. I wonder what does impress them because I own a 360 and most of the "critically acclaimed" games on it and IMHO not one of them is even close to as impressive as UC1 and UC2.

"halo 3 deserve its score"

Not really, it's just a rehash of halo 2 which is also a rehash of halo 1 with online play, which happens to be a rehash of all other FPS that came before. Hell, it didn't invent dual gun wielding nor health re-gen (as if "re-gen" was more realistic anyway).

"the most played game on XBL since FALL 2007. "

That's because most people don't know anything else, not because it's *that* good.

@gaff... (1.8) - You don't need to wonder, just look into the history, it's not like 360 games haven't beaten PS3 games in the past. No I think you're wrong there, when a PS3 game beats a 360 game PS3 fans go much further overboard than 360 fans do. Keep an eye out next week when the NPD results come out and it shows the PS3 having top billing for September. Every PS3 fanboy on this site will be popping champagne corks and talking plenty of SH!T. No modesty what so ever. Past behavior is a good indicator of future behavior.
It's completely unbelievable to me how ANY PS3 fan on this site doesn't think that 85 percent of the sh!t talk in N4G is done by PS3 FANBOYS.

Have you also noticed how the Sony fanboy is starting to get singled out all over the internet of being a bunch of psychos. N4G is just a sampling of what is happening all over the internet. Someone give a Sony product (PS-anything, or game) a low score and the fanboys are calling them bias, and calling their jobs, threatening to do harm to them. Ridiculous!

This story is nothing more than a feel good story by a PS3 website, to give PS3 fanboys a warm fuzzy about Uncharted 2. It wasn't enough to just say how good the game was, it needed to bring Halo 3 and Gears into the fold for a higher fuzzy rating.

Notice it never said anything about first day sales, or sells of the series to this point in comparison to Halo 3 and Gears. You know why, because although that information would be true too, it takes away from the warm fuzzy feeling one gets from hearing good things about Uncharted 2.

I too think Uncharted 2 is a great game, but this story was posted here simply was flame bait.

@below - Damage control for what? I see no damage here, just a bunch of lemmings following a trend.

Edit: I was gonna pick up uncharted 2 and a slim this weekend. Perhaps not, I don't think I want to be part of the PS3 fraternity.

And all those complaining about this site being ruled by PS3 fanboys just STFU.. If it hurts you so much, then don't visit the site or create multiple accounts like you do when your bubbles run out so you can show that there are equal no of fanboys from both sites (and hit the disagree button to your hearts content).. Ya there are more PS3 FB here than 360 whatch gonna do eh???? You can't stop people from coming to this site.

And I completely agree with the headline... Infact I have a better headline -"Uncharted 2, More Perfect scores than ANY 360 exclusive till date..." Take that. I have played nearly all the so called 360 AAA titles (most on my PC) and none of them even holds a candle in front of Uncharted 2. Neither Gears nor Halo nor Mass Effect nor L4D.... This is a gen defining gem and I don't care if it sells 2 million in it's lifetime.. It's a game you have to EXPERIENCE to see what the hype is about.. SALEZ SALEZ SALEZ.. Lol ya ODST sold 2 million first day !!! OH sooo good... Don't know how that turns you on, but more than 25 perfect scores is something to brag about.... Uncharted 2.... Gen defining game...

Ya you can do that all you like.. LBP deserved it cause it brought something new to the table and yes it deserved those scores... GTA was all hype and no show same as ODST. You get perfect scores for just having a brand name and that is what is seen (and frankly remove GTA and Halo tag behind these 2 games and they won't even get a single full score).... And sometimes 800$ goodie bags from M$ also works magic on devs.

And actually speaking, I don't mind you bragging these games... Both are on the PS3 so it's doesn't matter to me much.. I'll still stand by my statement that GTA4 was POS as compared to GTA:SA. Even Saints Row 2 was better IMO.
But I realy recommend you Uncharted 2. I have my opinion cause I have played the games and yes it's the best game I have played this gen... Above Gears (yup I like Gears), MGS4 and Killzone 2... In fact it takes all the elements of above games (Cover from Gears, Cinematic/deep story elements from MGS4 and graphics from KZ2) and tops everyone of them.... It's GOTY and if ANY game wants to win that honor this year, then it has to be something extra ordinary...

The fact that GTA IV is the highest rated game ever is proof that review scores aren't that meaningful, both me and my brother got bored of it in less than a week.

Uncharted 2 however I believe does deserve the scores it's getting. Just like Drake's Fortune, it delivers an amazing experience, but this time it is full of epic moments. I don't think any other game has this level of action in it; MGS4 or Half-Life 2 come close, but I said "WHOAH" a lot more times in Uncharted 2.

WTF is IGN talking about?!

I just got the game today and beat the first stealth level on my first try! IGN said the game didn't explain stealth gameplay well enough in the beginning which caused them to mess up a lot WTF?! It was extremely easy to understand the stealth mechanic; stay out of the enemies line-of-sight and melee them from behind. What's hard about that?! It's not like you have to carefully watch how well you blend in with the environment, stay in the shadows and then run up to an enemy press a precise button combo.

You do realize if a game is bought, most likely it's played? The whole "playing sales" talking point that the ps3 fanboys bring up is the stupidest argument I've ever heard in my life. Maybe they are just jealous or something? Not sure. I just know it's brought up whenever they feel threatened about Xbox 360 game sales.

I do know that it's ok to bring up sales whenever a ps3 game sells good though. It's not "playing sales", it's just being happy about a game you enjoy doing well. A 360 fan does the same and it's "playing sales". Guess I just don't get it.

The Wood - 70 days 10 hours ago

let me help you on the 'playing sales' argument. For a while it was all about the exclusives and the graphics...once the ps3 caught up/passed the 360 on both of these it moved to 'teh sales' A simple analogy is what made more at the box office Spiderman 3 or the departed. The answer is spiderman 3 but we all know that the departed was/is the better film so sales do not equate to quality which 'some' 360 fanboys love to speak about.

The point is we are gamers not 'patchers' and your one copy is all you can play. Maybe if 2 trillion people buy the game then the online community will be more expansive but you can only ever play so many people and you'll never face everybody so thats a questionable advantage unless those trillions can create levels ie lbp or those same trillions still play the game now like halo 3 or modern warfare (cod 4). Secondly sales do not need to hit 2 trillion or halo/gran turismo/wi fit numbers to warrant a sequel as motorstorm, uncharted, Resistance, Ratchet etc have proved. With this being said if you only ever opened your eyes to BOTH side of the fanboys NOT just the ps3 ones you'd notice that sales of halo and gears seem to come up a lot. I'd prefer if gamers spoke about graphics gameplay or general quality NOT how many copies x sold. Both side are full of hypocritical sh*t so this isnt just about either side in particular im just responding to 'teh sales' argument. Remember that Gran turismo has still sold more than forza (gt5p even sold more than forza 2) but will that stop 360 fans from enjoying or lording it.....doubt it and why should it.

teh sales is the last argument for some 360 fans.

"People Bought GTAIV and Halo 3 mainly for Hype, and look at the disappointment."

Who is disappointed? Certainly not the Halo 3 fans who play it every day and make it the top played game on XBL.

Certainly not the GTA IV fans who play it every day and make it the eighth most played game on XBL.

Hmmm, I think it's just PS3 fanboys who are disappointed that PS3 exclusives aren't played as much as other games.

Me personally? I don't care about sales. It's nice to see awesome games sell well, because that most likely ensures a sequel, but if I own the game and enjoy it, what do I care if 2 million other people bought it?

As for reviews I do use them to an extent, but usually if a game to which I'm looking forward receives around 80% to 85%, then it just reinforces my purchase. I don't think any game is entitled to receive 10/10 from every single website.

By the way, Uncharted 2 is an amazing experience and I'm glad I bought into the hype and got it. Kudos to Naughty Dog for making such an awesome game.
