[bananafactory]

I've seen quite a few people asking on here and Twitter so I figured this was worth a thread

OpenCritic page has the countdown timer live

http://opencritic.com/game/1538/uncharted-4-a-thiefs-end

To clarify, in case the thread title is kind of murky, TECHNICALLY the embargo ends Thursday morning (5th) but it's basically Wednesday night at 12 AM PST.

Sorry for you weirdo overseas folks, you'll have to do your own day/time conversion

 

[neurosyphilis]

I'm expecting a 91-92 Metacritic.

Absolutely can't wait, if only for the review thread. Some high standards of lunacy have been set.

[wapplew]

Avoided every UC4 thread like plague, this one is new, hopefully no spoiler.
Prediction, 89-90.

 

[GnawtyDog]

There will be no chaos, only 10's. Voodoo dolls won't work.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I'm expecting a 91-92 Metacritic.

Same. It seems exceptionally hard for games to get above that nowadays, even if they are amazing.

 

[Kolx]

along with a gaf meltdown

92 is quite high nowadays. I think GAF will be okay if the game gets 92, on the condition that no website gives it a 7 or something like that.

More like a 7.

It's going to be reviewed by like 50+ sites

SOMEONE is going to give it a 7.

 

[FF Seraphim]

I am going to come into the review thread with popcorn and a notepad to see how many names get grayed out.

The reviews will be interesting I hope the places I typically go to will be spoiler free.

 

[zkorejo]

My prediction is it will be either 94 or 95.

 

[zsynqx]

Gunna do well if early impressions are anything to go by.

Also this

Yup. Have talked to several reviewers and have heard nothing but absolute praise. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the highest rated game this gen so far.

[orochi91]

I predict 99 MC score.

Probably.

 

[StoopKid]

Somebody get the drake Jordan crying pic ready.

 

[v1lla21]

Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoop whoop. Brap Brap. Fuck the critics. 9.6 out here.

 

[Kyrios]

Edit: Came out completely wrong apparently, I'll just sit back.

 

[Alienous]

I wouldn't mind <90 on metacritic.

The entertainment value of the review thread would take the Uncharted 4 experience as a whole above 100.

 

[The God]

95 Metascore incoming.

 

[pharmboy044]

So, are we sure it's all the reviews for this date? I thought I read there was a particular site that had an exclusive review for this date?

 

[thuway]

I predict early 90s. Getting higher than 95 these days is nigh impossible.

 

[bananafactory]

Oh I'm sure there will be a few, seems to be the case for a lot of popular games. You'll have a few clickbait "reviews".

You know. It is possible for someone to simply not love the game as much as everyone else.

A 7, or even a 6, isn't always 'clickbait' or 'attention whoring'

This is the kind of mindset that let to the U3 insanity

 

[Coolbgdog12]

It's been more than 4 years since an Uncharted review thread. I expect this game to get a 94 and everyone will freak out when Biogamergirl gives it a 7.8/10.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

92 meta.

 

[timetokill]

Oh I'm sure there will be a few, seems to be the case for a lot of popular games. You'll have a few clickbait "reviews".

Yes everyone get your tinfoil hats on early

I'll get the popcorn

 

[DoomGyver]

It's Uncharted, it could get rated 1/10 and I'd still play it. I'm sure there will be meltdowns, bannings, and salty tears.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

I wouldn't mind <90 on metacritic.

A 89 for Uncharted would result in this forum exploding. It'd be so bad mods would accidentally ban themselves.

 

[t hicks]

along with a gaf meltdown

im looking forward to this almost as much as the game itself

 

[Flandy]

Gonna predict 84-88

 

[DKHF]

I'm curious who from IGN will review this (now that both Colin and Greg are gone who gave their last two games 10's). I guess it will be someone out of Marty Sliva, Vince Ingenito, Jose Otero and Brandin Tyrrel. Leaning towards Marty or Vince.

 

[The Artisan]

Absolutely can't wait, if only for the review thread. Some high standards of lunacy have been set.

 

[dmr87]

89 meta, you heard it here.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

1AM?? The site shows 3:00AM for me.

Oh I know, I wasn't going on about "I love this game, so everyone who doesn't like it is wrong". I just noticed a lot of popular games get low reviews from less reputable or barely known sites. Not knocking if someone doesn't like this game.

 

[Trace]

92 IMO.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Let's hope the review thread isn't a repeat of the Uncharted 3 review thread...

 

[Tuck]

I'm expecting a 91-92 Metacritic.

I'm expecting a single negative review will send half of the posters in the review thread spiralling into a tirade about how this reviewer is biased/looking for hits/poorly written/etc.

Like clockwork. Every time, without fail.

EDIT: See, its starting already!

Oh I'm sure there will be a few, seems to be the case for a lot of popular games. You'll have a few clickbait "reviews".

 

[Ascenion]

Expecting 87-92. Nothing from this gen has cracked mid 90s and I sadly don't expect Uncharted 4 to be the one. At least we are finally understanding that 80s are still really great games.

 

[Phediuk]

I predict 89 Metascore.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

First game to get a perfect 100 metacritic?

Spoiler

Jk, I can't wait for some meltdowns either way

 

[Blablurn]

I hope it will be a fun game

 

[Lys Skygge]

96 MC. That's what I've been predicting for months.

 

[TheJoRu]

Oh I'm sure there will be a few, seems to be the case for a lot of popular games. You'll have a few clickbait "reviews".

The U3 review thread flashback is strong.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I hope it will be a fun game

Reviews will determine that for you?

 

[Xamtheking]

I really want someone to give it a 1, but the only thing in the review itself is this:
"We did it for the clicks"

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Going to say 92 metacritic seeing as how the first three average a 92.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I'm expecting a single negative review will send half of the posters in the review thread spiralling into a tirade about how this reviewer is biased/looking for hits/poorly written/etc.

Already happening in this very thread

Expecting 87-92. Nothing from this gen has cracked mid 90s and I sadly don't expect Uncharted 4 to be the one. At least we are finally understanding that 80s are still really great games.

If there is one game that can crack the mid 90s, it is Uncharted. I also think it will score a 92 meta but it isn't impossible.
