They might get better, but in order to do so they would have to remove more of what makes video games what they are. There's a reason why Uncharted, TLOU, Heavy Rain, Ellen Page game, Until Dawn, etc are considered to have good stories in comparison to other games, and at the same time criticized for being movies with quicktime events.

There's enough depth to the core gameplay of Souls that just having new levels and bosses is a worthwhile experience. The core gameplay of Uncharted is as basic as it gets. Shooting a dude in the face is exactly the same in Uncharted 1, 2 and 3. What does 4 do to set it apart?

>>336593071
I never said they're paid. I just believe they're shit and absolutely not qualified to score games. Also probably a lot of peer pressure involved. No one wants to run that website that gave an overhyped game a bad score.

Keep playing your cinematic cover shooters though. I'm sure you're enjoying them.

It's a little iffy at first but the ability to customize your combos and the game's difficulty adjusting a bit while you're playing makes it great. It's just that the movement is fairly clunky so it holds it back.

Come the fuck on. At this point there's plenty of material for Uncharted 4 and other games. People can easily base their views on those.
Hell, usually when something is announced at E3, some gameplay is shown there too. Sure, it might be bullshotted, but should be representive of what final product will be like, so people can draw their conclusions from what they're shown.

If it happens that no trailer or gameplay is shown, you can look at past record of the developer or franchise, and judge the newly announced game based on those.

Normally I'd agree.
But the whole uncharted series is a steaming pile of shit, and really doesn't deserve the acclaim it gets. And well,
Not to use the "normie" word, but that's the best word to describe idiots who want this generic piece of shit with garbage gameplay and prerendered graphics that impress people who never have owned a PC. Instead of all the fun jak and Dexter/crash games we could of had instead.
>>
>>336600289
Jak had nowehere else to go, it should have died at 3 while it was at its prime.
Jak X was shit, Lost frontier was an abomination and that Daxter PSP game was just a bargain bin PSP exclusive to attract sales during the system launch.
as for Crash, as long as he stays in Activision, there's nothing Sony can do about it unless ND gets a serious overhaul in their mentality, because I sure as fuck don't want the Uncharted team shoehorning cinematics on it

Every Uncharted has been a critical darling for no special reason. They're such vanilla, safe video games. ~10 hours of accessible, generic gameplay and a Brendan Fraser adventure storyline. I have no idea how Naughty Dog gets these reviews. Who do you know that lives and breathes the Uncharted series?

inb4 "you just don't like it because it's a PS4 exclusive", I love Bloodborne and own a PS4. I just really think these games are dull and their critical success reflects that the issues /v/ had with video game journalism during Gamergate still exist.
>>
>>336601160
Right because SJW were a thing in 2007 right?
>>
>>336601512

I'm drawing out the facet of Gamergate that took issue with games like God Hand getting panned while forgettable games like Uncharted got "10/10! It's like ok I guess but HOLY SHIT IT LOOKS GOOD ON HD TVS!".

such as?
because it doesn't necessarily come from journalists asking for politically correct sterilized games, or for overly praising it for being written by a woman, but rather because of the old usual press shilling that always happens everytime a high profile AAA franchise is about to be released.
this is never going away, as long as companies' marketing teams can make deals with websites for hyping the fuck out of their coverage.

have you ever considered the possibility that scores don't represent a game's "perfection" compared to every single title in the whole industry, but rather as a meter of satisfaction of that reviewer or his estimate on how close that game has come to achieve what it sets out to do in its premise?
how the fuck can an opinion be wrong? it's perfectly plausible to have an opinion based on ignorance or dishonesty and be able to point that out, but it seems 10/10 is automatically considered that regardless of intent.

>>
>>336602537

The idea behind criticism of literature, film, art, whatever is that you build a society that furthers the medium. Video game journalism actually causes the medium to regress when it hands economic success to dull shit like Uncharted and forces studios like Clover to shut down. Why don't we see games like Killer7, Okami, and God Hand as frequently? Well there you have it.

>how close that game has come to achieve what it set out to do in it's premise
Sure if this is the measure then it's a 10/10
Ripped off tomb raider beautifully!

And so has every Souls game yet /v/ and everyone else praises it.

Such a dumb thing to say, any video game sequel is going to mainly be the same game with extra features that weren't in the previous installment.

there you go.

Uncharted is SUPPOSED to be cinematic. Hell, I don't doubt there's a lot of fans out there who consider the gameplay sections a hindrance.

Wait, are you honestly telling me you used dualshockers before?
It's literally one of the biggest sony shill sites on the internet. Next to Neogaf and N4G

So basically it's a Joss Whedon movie?
I'll pass. That overrated hack needs to die.

The people who like Uncharted are the same people who obsessed over Breaking Bad and Big Bang Theory. Why is western media so shit nowadays?

I bet they "celebrated" may the fourth like the disgusting millennial memers they are. I bet they are excited for the next episode or season or whatever the fuck of game of thrones.

They probably liked TLoO, Skyrim, Fallout 4, and genuinely think YOU CAN DO LITERALLY ANYTHING in No Man's Sky.

Also they liked Batman Vs. Superman

Stupid people, basically.

Sure, but James Bond will always kill the box office, be great !movies, AND get shit reviews and no academy award. I mean artsy shit like spotlight can win an academy award while star wars laughs their way all the way to the bank no fucks given.
Vidya needs to be like that.

There are plenty of cinematic games that don't have braindead platforming and nerf gun shootouts.

How about they make a great game, or a great movie, or anything that isn't a fucking waste of time.

press coverage doesn't affect a studio's funding by the parent company.
Capcom didn't trust Clover enough. A company isn't entitled to free positive press coverage and games aren't entitled to big sales numbers.
you can't hold the press responsible when these projects end up stillborn, regardless of quality.
>b-but Okami got a second chance
they screwed up the controls BIG TIME and didn't make any improvements at all, besides a small increase in resolution

nice review bro, but apparently lots of people consider it a great movie that happens to have a few interactive parts

It's fucking Uncharted. It's the same shit since the first one.

>"Hey gamers! Jessica Chobot here on the Gamestop Mountain Dew®: Destiny Grape Blast Channel dropping in to give you the scoop on the latest EPIC adventure in the Uncharted™ series! Make sure to pick up the day 1 special edition and get the official blonde Drake dlc!"

If you're not sort of taken aback by how blatantly corporate and shallow these games are, you're contributing to the problem.

congratulations, you just found out that normies exist and they're the lowest common denominator that any entertainment company gives priority, not the "hardcore fans" that they talk about in marketing
>>
>>336604957
of course I'm taken aback, but what can you do about it?
are you going to deconstruct the whole concept of marketing among society and reshape the entire industry? they've got money and whole departments that work to push that on everything they're selling, that's just how it works on capitalism m8

There's plenty of money in the music and film industries but criticism tends to be more sophisticated. Even though normies devour mass-appeal trash, they don't typically get shilled by professional critics. Fuck, even the biggest hack in music or film criticism looks like Roger Ebert or Anthony Fantano compared to major video game critics. It's just so odd to me how in bed they are with the industry.

Liberals.

that's just because there is no incentive at all in the gaming press to hire preople graduated on journalism and associated areas, which are taught on proper ways of making analysis.
that's why you have to be selective on the gaming websites you choose to follow, because some are more than willing to fill their ranks with hacks that post walls of self-indulgent schlock and clickbait, rather than having decent professionals.

>breaking bad is a bad tv show
I know people try to be contrarian here but this is just excessive. What sort of insufferable asshole do you have to be to think that its shit?
