Seriously it's an Action/adventure game..theres nothing in it that's going to justify this hype. Honestly; Nothing.
It'll be a good game but it wont deserve the perfect scores and it certainly doesn't deserve this silly hype.

[QUOTE="BodyElite"][QUOTE="skrat_01"]Oh totally reliable source. Yes here we have Deus Ex. And here is Uncharted 2 alongside it. :? No, just no.jeffwulf
Deus Ex was a great game for its time, but stacked up with today's games, no, just no.
Stacked up against today's games, Dues Ex completely thrashes them. It's Shakespeare to the modern Twilight.No. It's just not.
What is the point of reading reviews in these official magazines? It feels so redundant to read them if they are in support of the platform.biggest_loserthou shall not speak blaspemy in the bible of thy fanboys :lol:
Guys yall are missing the point. Theres a bunch in here including myself that has played the beta and it was awesome. The speed and action of the online play was very reminiscent of cod4, especially when you throw in the perk system and level ups. And then the COUNTLESS awards it has won at every game show this year that it has been shown or played at. I think alot of yall are going to look very bad once other reviews come down from other sites lol.
I mean its not like were hyping a game that we haven't played yet, cause we have played it. This is going to be yet another title that you are going to hear about being so polished for the ps3.
Well the original Uncharted would definitely be in my top 20 games of all time, and with the improvements the second one is introducing, (co-op, online, improved gfx etc) I see no reason to be alarmed by this.
And people need to stop assuming that just because a magazine focuses on one brand that it's completely biased. Like when OPM2 UK gave the first MGS4 review of 10/10 and people cried 'bias', despite the fact that they were the same ones to give Resistance 7/10.

[QUOTE="Nick_851"][QUOTE="skrat_01"]Oh totally reliable source. Yes here we have Deus Ex. And here is Uncharted 2 alongside it. :? No, just no.skrat_01You have not played Uncharted 2 so your post has zero credibility. And why bring up Deus Ex?, no one said Uncharted 2 was the best game ever. All signs point to Uncharted 2 as being a fantastic game. There is no need to pour negativity on it. 1. I dont see Uncharted 2 as potentially one of the 'best games of all time'. That being a game that *defines* the medium, and pushes it beyond. Saying that I own Uncharted 1 and enjoyed it. A sequel that follows its template isn't going to do the above, regardless of its potentially superb quality. 2. Ahem. Topic title? Deus Ex is regarded as one of the best / greatest / defining games of all time. Its a perfect game to draw a comparison with, what I defined as a 'best game'. 3. I'm not pouring negativity of it. Why 'pour'? Oh yes because you know my opinion of the quality of the title right? I am critising the statement that its 'one of the best games of all time' by an Offical Playstation magazine. I am not pouring negativity onto the game itself, which I believe will be damn good, and has the potential to be great.
Watch the trailers. No othre game has done anything like that before (movie quality cutscenes and gameplay), besides Uncharted 1 :P

Critical reception, and long lasting legacy, that still maintains popular recognition that it is to be held of high regard speaks for itself.Especially when like Warren Spector is still being interviewed on it - a few days ago on the Edge website actually.

Destructoid may have covered it - Kotaku doesn't give many details.Cant access dtoid at the moment, you will probably have to look.

Firmware 3.01 is out now. Could be a fix for it.
I think Nintendo and XBox magazines also said that about Halo 3 and Zelda Twilight Princess. Neither of those are close to being the best game ever and I doubt this will be as well.
I can agree that using a PS3 magazine is'nt the best review example to use to show what most reviewers will give this game, specially when they are stating it's the best game of ALL TIME. But somehow I don't think he would lie about something like that to get attention, and therefor I don't think it's a lie. I know it's only a persons opinion, but he is playing games for a living, probably X360 games aswell:). This game will be a 9.0 or above most places, I'm sure. Hey, Halo 3 got over a 9...LOL.
And show me a gaming site that has been at previews of the game and are'nt excited about it.

One of the best games of the year and a strong contender for getting game of the year overall? Most definitely. One of the greatest games of all time? That is quite the lofty claim and I'll just leave it at that. That being said, I have not played the game, but I think it is obvious that it is going to be simply great, regardless of it is one of the best ever or not. That is all anyone can really ask and I think it will more than deliver on that front.

Bah. it's well known that Dues Ex is like the best game ever . Totaly epic Maggy Chow's apartment FTWI really don't understand the hype for this game. The first was a good third person shooter/adventure. This one looks like it will be better. How does this translate as "OMFG!!!! UNCHARTED ******* TWO!!!!!!!!!!"II-FBIsniper-IIBecause it's going to be awesome. That's why.
Well i bought a ps3 for this game so lol if its not as good as most of reviwers saying that will rly suck. Uncharted 1 wasnt rly good (only tryed the demo and it was boring).Syferonik
The Demo is not like the full game. Trust me. The game is my favorite PS3 one until U2 probably.
Yeah its an official magazine, but this is also the magazine that gave Warhawk a 65. If you look on metacritic that is actually the lowest review score the game was given on there. The Overall Metacritic score for Warhawk is an 84
What makes zelda OOT so great. It is a matter of nostalgic purposes. Zelda Wind waker and zelda tp were both better in terms of dungeons. It is just hold to a certain pedigree because the game is old. It isn't the greatest game ever made which could go to alot of games due to how leaps and bounds better they were than everything else. For example, civilization 2 could easily be caled the greatest game of all time because it hasn't been usurped in terms of gameplay until civ 4 which was 10 years later. So that game or x-com, or super mario bros 3, etc could be considered the greatest game of all time[QUOTE="nhh18"]
[QUOTE="AmayaPapaya"]
IDK...I don't have too much faith in ratings anymore, ever since GTAIV and Metal Gear Solid 4 got like a whole bunch of 10s. Atleast the other less famous sites had enough brains with MGS 4 to not give it a ten. But apparently with GTAIV, they didn't. It holds spot number 2 on GameRanking, and actually is pretty close to OOT. It's just a matter of time another game get hyped to death, doesn't become as good as everyone thought, but reviewers thought it was amazing, and it ends up being on the top 5 on GameRanking. It wouldn't surprise me, if said game passes up OOT because of it. Standards have really lowered on handing out 10s.
AmayaPapaya
People who don't understand why OOT is so loved, is because they didn't play it back in 98. Its still a great game that has held up really well with time. You just won't be able to enjoy it as much as everyone else did back then.There is also the small chance you are one of the few people who really didn't like it back then. However, when you first see Hyrule Field in that game, it is simply amazing. I have never felt the same with any other game this gen. Going back and forth through time was amazing! Riding a horse was amazing! There were just so many things to the game that gave you a wow feel.
I know, I know but there havea been tons of these games that are better than everything else when they came out. Super mario bros 3, super metroid, civilization 2, x-com, etc. I could easily see a ton of games obtain a spot in this lsit.[QUOTE="II-FBIsniper-II"]I really don't understand the hype for this game. The first was a good third person shooter/adventure. This one looks like it will be better. How does this translate as "OMFG!!!! UNCHARTED ******* TWO!!!!!!!!!!"Silent-HalI honestly have no idea. That's pretty much how I feel about this too. Uncharted was fun, but not fun enough to warrant the ridiculous levels of hype it's been getting. The footage that was shown warrants it. Just look at some of the videos. It looks mad in terms of scripted gameplay. Never seen anything like it before.
i admit i am a cow, but this is going overboard lol. we're dealing with super cows now -_-MeowmixxviThis is an insane lol comment. It isn't super cows it is that people can't decipher the fact that this review is a joke. It isn't because it is from the OPM, it is the fact that it says all these superlatives on the front cover which is hilarious.
That video didn't really change my opinion on the game. Again it looks good, and probably better than the first Uncharted, but not much beyond that.http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-uncharted-2/51623

Why? Because you have no idea what games this editor prefers. Usually gamespot/1up/ign split reviewers in teams to review games. They have their own reviewers for ps3/xbox360/wii games. They do interact but the people who are doing the reviews usually only do reviews for one console. You are baically complaining about every reviewer and for one reason you don't like what they said about it. I don't either (I think it is lol worthy similar to cvg halo odst), but at least I'm not going to copmlain about something this silly.wha? a playstation magazine thinks a big playstation exclusive by a sony-owned company is the best game of all time... wow... what a surprise
this magazine usually doesnt like playstation games, amirite?

This game will be amazing, but 21/20 is just ridiculous. Uncharted is my favorite PS3 game behind MGS4, but come on.wstfldThis is a different reviewer. It got a 5/5 from them. My complain though is that it is a ridicolously stupid statement call this game the greatest game of all time. It isn't objective, and is more crazy talk than anything else. But people saying uncharted 2 is this terrible game are just as ridicolous.

not sure what youre ranting about. as we all know here, reviews from magazines that only cater to that specific console are not as credible as magazines and sites that cater to every console. its that simple...
not sure why you are replying to just me.... read the thread, there are a bunch of posts saying the same thing i did. dont make it seem like im the only one that thinks this way

Really how so? I'd love to see some actual evidence that proves this claim? Don't think I'm going to find any. PTOM and OXM from my research aren't bias. They haven't done anything to suggest otherwise.
Seriously I already posted what other high profile exclusives PTOM has scored and they are not out of the average and sometimes even lower than most other sites.
I mean nhh may have a point with the superlatives but I still think that it may indeed be that awesome of a game. But just because its a one platform/company magazine =/= that it is bias.
is PC gamer mag bias' towards all PC games and hardware? No. None of them are Play magazine.

It isn't objective, and is more crazy talk than anything else. But people saying uncharted 2 is this terrible game are just as ridicolous. Well, they've played it and you haven't. That's the difference. It's a very bold statement and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the case, but there's a reason that they WOULD make a statement like that. I guess the statements from these reviews don't surprise me because I have an eye for picking out, which games will be absolutely stunning and so far I've been always right. Usually if I hype game, it usually ends up being the best. I don't hype stupid **** like Fat Princess when that doesn't look like that AAA caliber.[QUOTE="wstfld"]This game will be amazing, but 21/20 is just ridiculous.

This too. All these close-minded people are quick to point out these magazines as bias even though they've given some exclusives lower than average marks. You are just making yourself look stupid by arguing that these are bias marks, gaming journalism is the devil, etc. You shouldn't even need a review to by this game. It's just one of these games that you know is going to be incredible from what Naughty Dog shared. It was the same thing with Call of Duty 4. It was the samething with Gears of Wars.Please Log In to post.
