I'd rather see it get a 10 than flop, but a flop would cause more chaos.

If Uncharted got below a 9 I think these boards would go up in flames

well 1 would cause massive cow heart attacks with houses being burned in the streets... the other would send lemmings into fits of emo rage and they will destroy the internet. either way tears will be shed, and LULZ will be had.

Which would cause SW to IMPLODE? Uncharted 2 getting exceeding hype and getting a 10/10 or U2 Flopping and getting an 8/10?

Probably the 10/10 scenario.

Cows already got plenty of AAA's this year from Sony. The PS3 fans could afford Uncharted 2's floppage due to :

AAA MLB09:The Show,

AAAE Killzone 2,

AAAE Infamous,

AAAE Demon's Souls,

and whatever Ratchet:Crack in Time ends up scoring.

I'd go as far and say, anything less than a 9.5 would cause this place to go nuts:twisted:

I dont see that game getting below a 10 because some of the earlyreviews suggest that the game is pretty much perfect.That xplay guy said it was the best single player experience he had ever had and that the multiplayer was awesome.If it gets a 9 or below people will be mad.

Flopping, as it scoring high would be more expected then it scoring low -- though it matters how low the 'flop' is.

Cows have hyped this up to 9.5 level, so anything less is going to be considered a phlop.

I can see this game scoring 10, but a flop would make for some really REALLY explosive posts/topics me thinks.

Either way, the SW Mods will need to be out in full-force in the week or so after this game is reviewed here!

Um...the 10? That seems obvious.

Maybe a 7.5 would be approaching the same level of insanity, but a second PS3 AAAAE would trump everything.

Best case scenario is an 8.5 (for those of us who aren't cows and thus would see the humor in the situation), but I doubt that will happen

If U2 flopped it would be the Scribblenauts case all over again. Nothing more than a flash in a pan. Heck, the first Uncharted was a flop. If it scored 10/10, however,the PS3 purists wouldnever let it down that they have 2AAAAEs while Xbox 360 has none. And it won't matter that a 10 for this game will mean less than a 9.5 for SMG either, or that SMG will stillmaintain a higher gamerankings average. Why? Because 'only GS scores count you n00bs'.

Eh no. Were you around the time Uncharted got an 8 and Ratchet got a 7.5? Hades itself appeared.

Uncharted 2 flopping would be FAR, FAR worse than U1 and R&C case combined.

at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it did get a 10. though i would be surprised if it didn't get at least a 9. so flopping is my vote.

The chances of Uncharted 2 scoring a 10 is more likely to happen than flopping, so yeah flopping would be more likely to cause a uproar here in the forum.

I disagree with you on this one. Pretty much everyone including the 360 and Wii fans have accepted that it will get a 9 or more here. Anything less than that would result in its first AA score on metacritic even after 33 reviews. That will also mean to many that(in GS's view) the game fails to best ODST which is getting worse reviews on average when compared to U2. Somehow i don't see the ps3's fans from these forums and beyond being pleased with this.

I think 10/10 although I won't play it in its first month if this happens, the day it gets an AAAA I'll be available on GS for 48 hrs to see how big the damage control is :lol:

Either. The only safe score is a 9, and even that will result in "Lulz, its just as good as 'half a game'!"

I honestly do not want to see what this board would be like if Uncharted 2 were to flop. It would be like the TP incident only on a much larger scale. I pray that this game gets at least a 9 not only for the sake of more people wanting to buy it, but because of the irreversible damage it would cause if it doesnt.

I'm not saying it would be a dissappointment, but the scenerio you laid out happened with Ratchet and Uncharted 1. Both those games have a Metacritic score of 89-90.

Still, I see it beinig bad either way, I just know that PS fans have a leg to stand on if U2 somehow flops from it's AAA hype.

Obviously, no real gamer wants to see that happen, I'm just laying it out how it plays in my mind.:P
