This is still DLC that took them under a year to make .
There is only so much they can do in such short time.

Yeah I know. But still around 15% lower than their average rating. It is no criticism, just remarkable.
What do you mean by it wasn't to their advantage here? are reviewers complaining about the environments being too big?
Yikes. Uncharted threads are so full of shitpost I don't even know who's joking and who's serious.
You are out of your mind. This is full on Uncharted game produced in a year. I was blown away how much work they put in, and for not a second I thought that this is anything but a full Uncharted experience.
But ofc, if you are chasing high MC scores, only then you are obviously enjoying gaming because of some other stuff than me.

Wait there's even less combat? That's not better at all!
A reviewer giving two specific games 15% below their aggregate Metacritic rating is hardly remarkable.
IGN said things were so big it got tedious and boring.
There is enough combat, but ther are no sections with waves and waves of enemies. The game is more compact, and everything is represented well.

85 Meta? About what I expected. Worse than Uncharted 1 but better than Golden Abyss. Considering it's supposed to be a DLC can't say I'm disappointed.
When people say things like this, I realize they can't truly be fans of the series. What good is a TPS with little Shooting?

87 on Opencritic, 2 points higher than on Metacritc. Now that the site includes non english websites, I put more stock in Opencritic's aggregrate scores.
ND must be pleased, overall, with the critical reception as even the lower scoring reviews are positive about this entry's standing compared to the other Uncharted's.
I will repeat what I said in the other thread: this will be less divisive than UC4 on this forum and to add to that I think it will be many peoples favorite, especially those who loved the combat in the last game.

After some hemming and hawing, I ended up pre-ordering this digitally. It didn't quite work out as I'd hoped -- I ultimately ended up paying ~AUD$51.30 rather than ~AUD$44.60 -- owing to neither PSN US nor GMG US accepting digital pre-paid Visa cards, which I discovered too late, but spilled milk and all that. The game is set to unlock at 12pm local time on the 22nd, though, which I suppose is a small win.

Nice reviews.
Do we know who is doing the OT?
Do we know who is doing the OT?
Why? It's just my opinion. I've played through UC4 and it's a solid 7 for me, no where near the 93 Metarange.
You've seen the Presskits I guess, surely Sony didn't intend to impress/hype the reviewers so they would be more lenient with the game.
reading comprehension, please, use it.

I'd be shocked if it's actually worse than Uncharted 1. Uncharted 1 hasn't aged well at all, even with the remaster.

Yeah, an 85 meta is so far from what they usually get.

It's honestly my fault on expectation. The game was great on character building and the story was charming enough but found the combat boring and it felt very short when I did beat it. Also didn't care for the game activities you could play but again that's on me for having wrong expectations.

Great reviews. ND always delivers.
Yep, press kit worked so well for The Order 1886.
Alright but most others didn't have the same experience with regards to the environments.

Sounds like this DLC has even less combat than Uncharted 4.

More uncharted 4 sounds awesome to me , all that game needed was less climbing and more action , so sounds like they have a good balance here .
I wouldn't normally mind that, but I hope the banter is as good as the other games.
Environments I know will look great during that whole downtime.
Btw, those reviewers that have said this game seems to have less combat than UC4, did they compared number of encounters only or did they do so while taking into account game lenght?

Love me some Uncharted. Can never get enough. Looking forward to playing this.
Fantastic reviews as expected. Game was always going to be good so I'm excited to get stuck into my copy and hopefully getting the first playthrough wrapped up in time for Yakuza's release.
Also see we're not short on the usual salt from certain sectors of gaf every time a ND thread is made. Have we had any of the "paid reviews" or "auto-10s because ND" dismissal posts yet?

Maybe people like a series for different reasons than you? Shocking, I know.

Hard not to be disappointed in the score, particularly since its scored below Left Behind. In a very busy year with a lot of games to play I think this is something I'll be giving a miss for the moment.
Are you ok?

Glad to see they didn't change tack and turn this into a shooting gallery again. I really hope Nadine's character is fleshed out and given a proper send off since her abrupt exit was one of the things that really annoyed me in U4
Lmao just scroll up

Accusing the media of dishonest reviews because of supposed monyehatting is not an opinion.
It is, they usually don't get MC scores below 90. I've played all their games since Uncharted 1 and I can only agree with the MC score on one of their games, which is the masterpiece TLOU.
What addon?

It isn't. Especially considering this isn't a full blown mainline entry.

So they like the one maybe two games in the series that aren't like all the other game so in the series? Now that truly is shocking, since I'd call them an Uncharted 4 fan and not a general Uncharted fan considering none of the other games have literally back to back chapters with no kind of combat at all.
