All that matters in a game now is graphics, voice acting and animations. Uncharted 2 is the most over rated game of last year and stole game of the year from gems like Demons Souls. But anyway back to topic. Uncharted 2 had a crap story, annoying characters, generic action, genericgameplay and big explosions that have been done 100000 times before. Yet it got praised alot for its brilliant graphics, voice acting and animations. I just recently finished Deadly Premonition and I have to say this is one of the best games I have ever played !! Brilliant story, THE BEST PROTAGONIST EVER !!!, Exceptional supporting characters, Very Fun Gameplay, Great humor, Originality unlike Uncharted 2 ( The Russians again YAWN !! ) and an overall great and light atmosphere. Yet Deadly Premonition which is a better game than Uncharted 2 got very bad review scores ??

I am with you 1000%, since i play RPGs and deep games myself

My best games are Alan Wake, Demons Souls, Fable 2-3, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Fallout Vegas and yet those got low scores and Uncharted 2 that was a single day boring shooting, a totally mediocre and indifferent game by any standards, got all the praise

Well, gaming IS becoming casual, so it is expected, all complex and good games will have a ceiling at 8/10 in 2011, when a RPG gets 8/10, will be like 10/10 in reality and for real non casual gamers

Nice to see more feel this way, i though i was the last real gamer on the planet :)

Uncharted 2 got a bunch of praise because it's a very well done and excellently paced action-adventure. You act like an 8/10 is a bad score, whilst Demon's Souls and Mass Effect have recieved scores similar to UC2's.

These games that get lower scores aren't scored lower because they're too complex. They're that way because the reviewer feels that they have flaws in their design.

Complex games do get lower scoredby default, since complex means less polished 99% of the time

Of course they dont get low scored for beeing complex, they get low scored for beeing lesss polished, but if they were as polished as a 7 hour linear game would never be complex(or released) in the first place

So, there is a clear choice to be made, amazing games that score low with real complex gameplay and variety or boring linear short extremely high scoringand polished titles

I will go for the less polished, low scoring amazing complex games myself, every time

Demon's Souls is mediocre, Uncharted 2 won because it's the better game. Spike got it right, GS was just looking for a cheap way to boost hits.SteveTabernacle

Demons Souls mediocre ??? Ok, if you think so, it is my best PS3 game by a million miles though

I dont see how a 7 hour boring game like Uncharted 2 is better than Demons Souls that gave me 200 hours of pure fun and challenge, they dont really compare at all

What happened to playing games than watching a movie ?

someone with a gow avatar, raving about xbox games and slagging UC2 off. hehe damage control is entertaining!

Yeah, I'm serious. The only bad thing I've seen about Metro 2033 are the character models. I swear their eyes are piercing my soul when they look at me.
