Rack it up. (This is an unbelievably good score from this site. The first game got 9.0.)

Also, for the new page: http://www.videogamer.com/ps3/uncharted_2/review-2.html

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So I guess for today the sdf declares Eurogamer unbias again?

Eurogamer had really no escape route this time it seems... UC2 must really be the best thing around. Let's see edge's move now.

Yes Eurogamer and EDGE usually rate harshly, and supposedly slightly favor European developed games (although this is debatable). However, 360 exclusives overall have gotten better reviews in the past than PS3 exclusives, so the Sony fanboys freaked out hard about it being bias and about how they were expecting a 7/10 from Eurogamer.

 

[EagleEyes]

Color me surprised that Eurogamer gave an American developed game a score like that. Bravo.

Do we really need this kind of firestarter bullshit in this thread already?

9/10 (Pretty standard score for them. 10/10s are awarded to "perfect" games.)

*Cancels preorder*

No but seriously this game is gonna rock!

Usually (usually) spot-on, with an open mind but not concerned with artistry. Uncharted's not the sort of thing they don't judge oddly.

Do you act surprised at this behavior? It's not exclusive to SDF, it's exclusive to everyone when it comes to everything, no freaking reason to point it out.

You could have just ignored him, he wants attention.

We don't need any of that in here, man.

Statistically, a guy from Cambridge University has shown EG isn't biased while EDGE is.

 

[Lord Error]

Does Eurogamer usually rate harshly or something?

To my knowledge they have never given a 10 to a PS3 game until now, and they give them out very rarely in general.

This is your second post claiming all kinds of SDF BS. GTFO and stay out.

On topic: that CVG review is impressive.

 

[LaneDS]

For a little comparison, Eurogamer dropped an 8 on MGS4 (I have no comments on whether that was deserved, it's not for this thread anyway). So a 10 here seems like a pretty big deal to me.

 

[Zzoram]

We don't need any of that in here, man.

Ok, no more. I just didn't have anything else to say because I am on media blackout for Uncharted 2, and Uncharted 1 on Crushing has been really frustrating me and I came on GAF for a break.

 

[EagleEyes]

Did he check what he wrote in this section?
capable of the subtle changes and deft transitions necessary to elevate the series to the same standing as mature action storytellers like Valve and Bungie?
There's a tons of achievements you can throw at that dev but this is their weak link.

Come on man, rejoice in the fact that Uncharted scored well and leave that other crap out of this thread. Both Valve and Bungie are awesome developers and now there is room for Naughty Dog.

 

[Apocalyptatron]

? Anybody?

Yeah they're known for there unusually harsh review scores for games that got great scores at other outlets.

 

[Jaroof]

u srs? :lol

Spoiler

yes.

Yes, im srs. I didn't even know about Eurogamer til recently, so I don't know too much about them.
Since I now know that, I'll hop on board...

HOLY SHIT!!! :O

 

[Zeliard]

I sincerely hope this ends all the clamoring over Eurogamer being "biased" against Sony and the PS3.

Game of the gen confirmed? who knows! none of us has played it:lol But it is that much better than the first the answer for me will be a resounding yes.

 

[TTP]

TTP, I bet you that Edge's gonna score the game 7/10.

Ahahah, I wouldn't be surprised a bit.

 

[Zzoram]

I think the objection was to Bungie being good storytellers. They make fun, feature-rich games, but they are definitely not among the best storytellers.

 

[rhino4evr]

To my knowledge they have never given a 10 to a PS3 game until now, and they give them out very rarely in general.

didn't they give LBP a 10?

anyway..I find this whole "bias" theory stupid. Most the time Eurogamer's more critical reviews are actually the only realistic ones.

 

[A.R.K]

woh ... 10/10 ... eurogamer....*mind blown*

I am way more excited to play the SP cuz the first one was awesome and this one seems much much better

I really hope this game sells tons and tons cuz ND deserves it! All you GAFers better buy this day 1!!

 

[Das-J]

I truly think so... it's the best gaming experience I've had in a long, long time!

amazing... I would have never thought I saw the day. I would have expected 10s from anyone except not Eurogamer. I wonder what Edge will counter with.

EDIT: FU Edge and your bullshit 8 score

 

[Synless]

To my knowledge they have never given a 10 to a PS3 game until now, and they give them out very rarely in general.

That's pretty damn good then.

 

[ClosingADoor]

A Dutch review: http://www.xgn.nl/ps3/review/16720/uncharted-2-among-thieves/
9.6/10

Eurogamer NL comes with a 9/10: http://www.eurogamer.nl/articles/uncharted-2-among-thieves-review_5?page=2
Seems like its bigger brother liked the game even more.

 

[Lord Error]

Nah I have the Edge issue here and it's an 8. Dunny why you link to Eurogamer.

Lord Error

EDGE =/= Eurogamer.

Oh wow, I'm an idiot. Sorry guys (FFObsessed included of course). I read RiotPelaja's original post and thought he was talking about Eurogamer. My every post since has been a comment about the Eurogamer review.

didn't they give LBP a 10?

anyway..I find this whole "bias" theory stupid. Most the time Eurogamer's more critical reviews are actually the only realistic ones.

OK, now I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about - Edge gave LBP 10, and Eurogamer gave it 9.

Sometimes it's so well done that you think it's a cutscene, only realising that it's gameplay when you notice Drake standing still, awaiting your control.

When I first played Silent Hill 2 for the first time I did the same, standing still in front of the mirror wandering why nothing is happening.:lol

 

[beast786]

EVERYONE STUF

ITS NOT ABOUT EUROGAMER/BUNGIE blah blah blah...

Its about UNCHARTED and Naughty GODS.

 

[KZObsessed]

No need to apologize Lord Error!

 

[rhino4evr]

this happened at the begining of MGS4 for me...

 

[slipknot2009]

True Dat. Before playing the beta, I pretty much hated multiplayer games, but I've been playing this non-stopped since it first hit for those of us who pre-ordered. Never thought I'd love a multiplayer beta.

And the Eurogames review, to me, is shocking. I thought they'd be the one to buck the trend and give it a 7. This game's bulletproof, and the game of the Gen for sure.

Wow... Thats coming from a person who knows a little about gaming.

Have my MAG pre-orderd.

UNCHARTED 2 AFWNESS!!!222!!!

Thus proving once again I almost always stand behind THE GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIME, THE GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIME.

 

[Zzoram]

Game of the gen confirmed?

Considering this generation has at least 3 years left, probably not. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Uncharted 3 earns that title.

At the very least it's going to be the best thing out this year, in my eyes at least.

Totally speculatory on my part, but I have a feeling they're going to

Spoiler

kill off Sully early in the game

as some motivation for Drake. I hope that's not the case, but I have a feeling it might end up that way. I hope not, since I heart him.

[Dude Abides]

Very pumped for this one. I hope they added a few more animations to the enemies though. That bob-and-weave move they have got predictable.

my money is on The Last Guardian for game of the generation.

I am under the impression that they're rather fair with their reviews, and they have an excellent editorial style, in my opinion. So, yeah, a 10 from them is a big deal, I think.

ARGH! I'm stuck at work for at least another 6 hours, why can't I queue downloads on my ps3 from my playstation network page? I want to play! I'm super hyped for this game.
