Someone played Uncharted 2 and thought it was Uncharted 4, then got mad at Naughty Dog for not being fresh enough. This raises questions about games writers and editors. Who is qualified to go to TGS? What went wrong there? And then one of the biggest game sites on the internet apparently doesn’t follow news about games it reviews? It’s a landslide of fail!

But also some good stuff, as noted by the show notes below.
