haha you're crazy if you think this game is going to get a 7/10 by "plenty" of reviewers. This is a newly minted "AAA" game experience, and so by default reviewers only use the 8.5-10.0 scale.

The game will metacritic average at 91.

I honestly think the average will sit in the high 90's.

Don't know why, but my gut is screaming 97.

But what do you say once GTA comes out? Or maybe Beyond? You need to invent new words soon :D

that GTA looks pretty great and beyond is a great concept and hopefully a step in the right writing direction for David Cage but this is still going to be game of the gen?
 
Heh, nice -- but I wont take his word for it. I hope this game reviews well though...

But, I need to stop looking at this thread.

Many of those images don't look like they are in realtime, or that they are actually shots from the dev (PC) version.

It's Tricky. I'm just trolling him. He is pretty stoked about GTA and Beyond and has previously said Tomb Raider is going to be his game of the generation no matter what. That's why I'm asking him that :p

Oh god, I'm going to get caught up in the hype and buy this on day one aren't I? Even though I know Amazon will have it for $45 in a month or two.

I'm sure the citizen kane comparison will be topped by whatever Gregg Miller writes in his review that guy is the king of hyperbole

It's like Andrei Tarkovsky and Bela Tarr had a baby, and the baby surpassed its parents and invented a new artistic language

I hope it deserves it.

Very enjoyable and well put together but ultimately far overrated by people who built themselves into a frenzy believing that it would be one of the greatest films ever made?

Yeah probably

I just want it to not be a half assed bullet sponge platformer. Uncharted 1 was kind of neat, but I didn't care for the rest of the series.

As there is little else to play, I am hoping to read through the hyperbole and have this game actually be much more of a game and less of a linear shit show. The new Tomb Raider game is far, far better than any of the Uncharteds, so here's to hoping ND steps up their game.

Is he reviewing it? If so I very much look forward to his review. If it's anything like his UC3 review it will be gloriously hyperbolic.
