Post by: MCD on November 13, 2007, 04:40:39 PM: 8.5? THAT'S TOO HIGH!
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: bud on November 13, 2007, 04:41:20 PM: last i heard 8.5 was a pretty good score. i think the review was kinda like ''too gow-ish, not enough platforming''

i hope they add lots of platforming for the sequel, though i'll still play this.

Post by: Fragamemnon on November 13, 2007, 04:43:47 PM: Three 8.5s is a good score, wtf.
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on November 13, 2007, 04:45:12 PM: yeah, uh, 8.5 is not exactly suicide territory (that said I hated the Uncharted demo)
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Smooth Groove on November 13, 2007, 04:45:17 PM: I just noticed that Fire Emblem scored higher too than Uncharted. So that's 2 games on the Wii this month that have higher scores than the SDF's last great hope. No wonder even Japanese stores are putting the PS3 in the shameful corner.

Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Smooth Groove on November 13, 2007, 04:48:48 PM: 8.5 has to be very disappointing for the people that were expecting Uncharted to be the greatest thing ever. Now Uncharted likely won't even be the highest rated game on the PS3.

I was just talking about Wii games that scored higher than Uncharted.

Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: demi on November 13, 2007, 04:51:35 PM: I certainly wouldn't want to be boasting a 8.5 game if I had just spent $600

Post by: Smooth Groove on November 13, 2007, 04:52:45 PM: Patel, sell your PS3 and buy Rock Band for the only next-gen platform that matters.
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: bud on November 13, 2007, 04:52:55 PM: what if it had achievements
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on November 13, 2007, 04:53:41 PM: I may try to pick up Rock Band 360 at Best Buy on launch day, but I'm not gonna cancel my PS3 order through Amazon at this point.
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Rman on November 13, 2007, 04:53:49 PM: So PDZ is basically better than Uncharted. ;)

Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Smooth Groove on November 13, 2007, 04:55:41 PM: So Uncharted is basically 1 pt better than Cooking Mama 2.

It would be a rental, how is that relevant? It's still an 8.5 game
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: MCD on November 13, 2007, 05:00:02 PM: Quote from: J-Rzez
Most certainly considering anymore after what they gave Halo 3, it's clear that they expect much much more out of Playstation 3 games, thus their scores (minus Shane scores) and altered scale for them. I usually can assume that it would be .5-1.0 higher at least if not on the PS3. So 8.5 is a great score from them.

Anyways, Mass Effects scores are kind of low from them, what's their problems with the game?

Post by: Rman on November 13, 2007, 05:00:40 PM: Joking aside, that's a pretty solid score for Uncharted. It's a silver award in EGM

I didn't know they made Rock Band for the PC.

I agree. I don't see any complaints with that score. It's like 8.5 is the new 8.8.

It's not as simple as that. The issue has been every Sony exclusive being hyped to the Startosphere, and getting an 8.5 (which is a good score otherwise) is a disappointment for all those that claimed it'd be the second coming.

8.5 has become the new ~~5.0~~ 7.0 this gen.

lowsome fucking scoresome!

:lol

it isn't of course, but as predicted - another AAA dream dies on the PS3.
EGM no doubt getting called biased and "it's only because it is on PS3" in certain corners of the internet.

just look at what J-Rzez is saying.

fucking insane.

Just read that thread - it is just such fucking comedy.

Wollan in tears - bubububu the demo has really good characters! um ... really???
AltogetherAndrews trying to make out that he was going to troll uncharted
J-Rzez on melt down
Claims about the "MS mafia"

"these scores are bullshit because Halo 3 and Bioshock got 10s on the X360"

"it was only marked down for doing nothing new - still going to be GOTY"

Comparing the fact that Mass effect is "only" a couple of points better, so - somehow - this means Uncharted is BETTER!

lol lol lol and fucking lol.

"Staaaaaaaaaart spreading the news!
Sony's dying today!
I wanna be a part of it!
They're Borked , They're Borked!..."

wollan is actually calling for you to be unbanned.

Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on November 13, 2007, 08:44:41 PM: I liked the demo and will be picking up the game but holy fuck at all the tears and complaints from the usual idiots over at GAF. This whole supposed conspiracy thing of theirs is getting incredibly irritating.
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: TVC15 on November 13, 2007, 08:49:15 PM: Honestly, with Naughty Dog's history of the PS2 gen, who really thought they would pull out a platform defining classic? Even their last great game, the original Jak, isn't held in *that* high of regard by the general populace.

This is another case of dumbass holding a game in high acclaim not because they gave a rat's ass about the developer, but because they needed something, anything to hope in.
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Mr. Gundam on November 13, 2007, 10:04:38 PM: IGN gave it a 9.1, apparently.
Title: Re: EGM scores. SFAGS on suicide watch
Post by: Smooth Groove on November 13, 2007, 10:14:03 PM: But IGN overrates everything so the real score is probably 1-2 pts lower.
