End of an era?

 

[Mr Cola]

Hilarious times, the funny thing is that most of those guys probably agreed with the Eurogamer review after they finished the game. We can be sure that no lesson's were learned though.

Nothing does hyperbole quite like a Neogaf review thread

 

[dragonflys545]

from one of the guys who finished the game.

Someone asked:

is it sad? is it worthy of man tears?

and he replied:

My significant other filled up with tears twice while watching me play the game. What does that tell you? Most powerful story I've played through the entire generation. 

YOOOOOOOOOOOO T_T I need this now. Gonna make my GF watch me play

 

[Loudninja]

Btw 2 people said the beginning is really amazing.

[Sanctuary]

Wow, I had never seen that post before but that is insane.

That thread just shows how hyporcticial some of GAF can be at times. Because you know, someone's opinion always has to be justified in any way possible.

Game gets all around shitty scores: "Who reads reviews anyway? LOL"
Game gets scores that match hype/expectation levels: "GOAT!!!!!"
Game gets mostly positive scores, with a few negatives: "Fuck those reviewers, they have no idea what they are talking about".

 

[Acheteedo]

UC3 was so weird. By its own merit, I'd say its a solid 8. Coming off the back of UC2 though, it felt like a 7

Personally I think it was just as good as 2, but I had my expectations in check the hype was unreachably high for U3.

 

[i-Lo]

Given this is a trilogy, how is the ending in terms of satisfaction (does it have a cheap cliffhanger like say Halo2)?

 

[Bikram]

You should see their PSASBR score. They gave it one of the lowest scores, and they gave GoW:A an 8/10.

You should look up things before jumping to assumptions.

They gave UC3 a 10 too. I like UC3 as much as UC2 but people generally regard it as the worst UC game. Just saying

No, he said "the best beginning of any game ever".

It's not a trilogy. They've said that from the start. It's a game that stands completely on its own. There's no cliffhanger according to Neil and Bruce.

 

[gadwn]

It's 15-20 HOURS? Holy SHIT!! Sorry gf, I won't see you for a couple of days.

 

[Loudninja]

Well yeah didnt want to sound that hyperbolic

 

[Ikuu]

I am shocked to see this get 10/10 from an official magazine.

 

[dragonflys545]

Something I say trouble you?

I think you should quit gaming. Might as well watch people play every game.

 

[thecouncil]

Guys tell me. Does this actually have a chance to *whispered voice* dethrone Uncharted 2?

offtopic: whats this gif from?

 

[Gadirok]

No, he said "the best beginning of any game ever".

I find it hard to believe it can top GoW 3.

 

[i-Lo]

There was a recent thread of Sony purchasing domain fro TLoU 2 and 3 (iirc). However, I'd take Bruce's word.

 

[Kacho]

I need this game in my life.

Fuck, I can't unsee her as ET now.

Can't wait till all of the reviews start pouring in. This is the first game in while I've been unbelievably curious to see if it lives up to the hype.

Love the TV spot for it.

 

[RibbedHero]

Can't be better than HL2.

 

[Gadirok]

No, I think most people thought it didn't even deserve an 8/10 for not matching up to Uncharted 2 in quality.

Ok now I'm getting hyped.

 

[Ricky_R]

Insane that we will be playing this game just a couple of days after E3. How's that for a desert?

 

[Gintoki313]

Wow, I can't wait to see the next reviews if the 2 on here are perfect. If I see a whole bunch of 8, 9's, and 10's then this game might have hit the goldmine.

Can't wait to pick this up next week.

 

[uncharted86]

Naughty Dog vs. the competition

 

[Andrew.]

I find it hard to believe it can top GoW 3.

Or Bioshock, or Infinite, or re4 or Half Life 2...and so forth.

 

[i-Lo]

Can't be better than HL2.

And this is why you can't say "best" publicly because there is someone who already opposes it without having played it and more to the point, that stuff is subjective.

 

[Certinty]

Actually quite interested in this now.

Didn't think any of the Uncharted games were amazing but this looks pretty good I must say.

 

[mollipen]

There was a recent thread of Sony purchasing domain fro TLoU 2 and 3 (iirc). However, I'd take Bruce's word.

When you see the ending, you won't want this to be a trilogy.

 

[SolidSnakex]

That's probably just Sony playing it safe and snatching up domain names before anyone else can hold them hostage.

Meanwhile a Last of Us sequel is not yet a foregone conclusion: "The story is self-contained. The story stands on its own," added creative director Neil Druckmann. "We don’t end on a cliffhanger. The characters and the journey they go through ends with this story."

E3 is my dessert, Man of Steel is my snack, and this will be the entree.

I spy something in here. Ding.

HL2 was phenomenal for its time, but by today's standards it's not exceptional.

For me GOW3 takes the cake for sheer spectacle.

 

[Mr Cola]

How would that be quitting gaming? I do watch people run through new games often, its a great passtime. I dont do it because I cant afford the games, I do it because alot of games mechanically either disinterest me or are very similar to games I have played before so physically sitting down and playing them holds no value. That being said I admire environments, story, atmosphere and the skill that goes into creating them. I still consider myself a gamer.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Never forget.

Threads like these are why I find myself digging through OTs and reaction threads for specific posters that I recognize and trust and disregarding the rest, especially when it comes to platform exclusives.

 

[Ricky_R]

E3 is my dessert, Man of Steel is my snack, and this will be the entree.

Indeed. I was going by the traditional order of food, but fuck that.

 

[i-Lo]

When you see the ending, you won't want this to be a trilogy.

Then I assume you've already played it. Also, thanks.

Could they make parallel stories in the same world?

That's probably just Sony playing it safe and snatching up domain names before anyone else can hold them hostage.

Makes sense. And that sounds funny in my head.

their 2nd team (Uncharted 3) is pretty bad tho.

SMH

Well it was always going to be GOTY or close, I mean come on.

The Citizen Kane of gaming:

 

[zroid]

Personally I think it was just as good as 2, but I had my expectations in check the hype was unreachably high for U3.

I agree. U2 was not perfect by any means, and I think many people raise it up on an absurdly high pedestal. While U3 was certainly not perfect either, I believe it did some things right which U2 got wrong. On the other hand, U3 disappointed in some ways which U2 delivered. Together, they are about the same in overall quality.

Anyhoo, I'm bailing from this thread before my blackout is further disturbed. Ciao!

 

[FACE]

I think it's best to wait a week or two after the game comes out.

 

[casablanca]

Still better than the competition.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Do you exist to troll Naughty Dog threads with your nonsense?

 

[MikeJAMoran]

offtopic: whats this gif from?

Doctor Who. I remember it. The End of Time Part 2.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

There is no second team.

 

[Drachma]

Never forget.

I'm willing to bet that the people clearly desperate for a rerun of that thread are going to be the ones embarassing themselves the worst trying to provoke those reactions from everyone else when the reviews start appearing for real.

I predict an account greyveyard by the time the dust settles here

 

[GlamFM]

Thread is filling up with stupidity rather quickly. Impressive work from everyone involved.

There is no second team.

Sure there is.

 

[Square Triangle]

This is all too much....

Lol you are such a hype train traveler /tombraider

 

[Order]

Never forget.

That's so....sad.

Spoiler

The game wasn't even that good lol
