is that supposed to be GameSpot or is that some foreign game site that's in powerpoint form? If it's supposed to be GameSpot, they are on the 10 point scale, not the 20 anymore.

7 or lower from Polygon.
Lets do this.

Expecting the most embarrassing review thread of all time

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
If any game can break that trend it's certainly a Naughty Dog game, but I still don't think it will. A 92 is the new 95.
I'm not one of those though, I personally rate Uncharted 3 an 8.5 at most.

Bruce Straley has set a pretty high bar for himself.
94 incoming

I'm expecting 88-90 Metacritic
for real though.

I mean, the most recent preview event was dedicated to showing how much they had changed things up for the series in terms of gameplay, so I highly doubt that.
Gonna say 95, last gen it probably would have been like a 98 or something, but actual review scores skew way lower than last gen.

Predicting a Metacritic score between 90-95 for this. May 10th can seriously not come soon enough.

I agree with whoever said 87-92. Would be a huge surprise if it goes above 92 and there's a possibility it might end up in the very high 80s.
Reviews have changed!

that's what determined it for me back in 2009 when Uc2 came out. it was the impeccable press that got me to check that game out.
I'm not, my original post came out wrong and after rereading it I made it seem like I wouldn't accept a low score for this game, for that I apologize to everyone.

It's gonna be 95, and we will still have plenty meltdowns. Honestly, I don't even care if it's in the 80s. Everything I've seen from the game has looked sublime.

Are you saying some sites don't put out bs reviews for click bait?

Isn't it May 5th at 3:01am EST, judging by the countdown?
That's what I'm going with.

Hell, I bet there'll be a 9/10 review that "reads like a 10," and people will get all butthurt about it.

I hope there's a review where people say "This reviewer isn't even playing the game right."
I could actually see this from eurogamer.

A thread essentially announcing a review thread. The thirst is real.

Oh man this will be a insane place when they are unleashed.
You want them to blacklist Polygon because they gave TLoU a "bad" score? (I'm guessing that's the 7)
So basically this topic is using "adult swim timing" where Saturday 1am really means Sunday 1am?
Edit: Okay yeah checking the opencritic timer, the embargo actually lifts Thursday May 5th, 3AM ET (12:01 AM PT like you said)

Thursday afternoon around 5pm for eastern states in Australia or Weirdo Overseas Folkland.
Meltdowns incoming if this comes true
I'm more interested in Angry Joe's opinion tbh. I want to see how he reacts if the game really is so great that there are almost no negative can be found

I'm thinking it's going to teeter between a 94 and 95.

I am pretty sure it will get 9 if not more from from Joe.
Unless ofcourse the game has some major issues, which is highly unlikely.
Yeah. OP is just off a bit with the day they say.
Classic case of immaturity. Funnily enough U3 is closer to an 8 than a 10.

The grandest irony is that after playing & sleeping on the game, I'd wager a lot of people in that thread would agree with the Eurogamer's critical review more than IGN's universal praise.
I was on the U3 wall of shame because I pointed out a review that seemed to criticize things that made no sense to me. It was following U2, what I considered to be a top game in history, so I needed to see valid criticisms.
I had lots of faith in U3, but in the end I learned what had happened to the studio during its development, and how Druckmann took a team to begin the TLOU concept, and suddenly the disappointment U3 ended up being made sense.
For U4 I expect it to have glowing reviews like TLOU because it's the same team. Some reviewers won't like it but I think it will do better than U3 because it seems confirmed that it doesn't have the issues that game did.
