Been like a good half a year or so, so lttp should be fine. Funny enough that I bought this day 1 for my bro but I've never bothered with it until today due to all the crying about how the game is garbage or whatever.

Got to chapter 5 or so. Enjoyed the young drake stuff. The yd chase sequence was terrible though. If I died more than 5 times on it... something is a bit off no?

New brit guy seems ok for now, and the underground stuff is fine... but man uncharted stuff were always the worst in the dark areas imo.

Sully "Did you forget how to shoot?"

Yes I forgot how wacky guns are in this series. I really hope that the new ND game has better gun feel and weight =/


Also... is it just me or is the melee thingy in this game kinda terrible? It tries to do the Assbro and batman thing... but it kinda doesn't work due to jank.

Anyhow, soundtrack is still great. Will play more tomorrow.

It's just you.

All 3 Uncharted games are some of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. U3 included.

[Net_Wrecker]

Some people will say it gets better in the 2nd half, I thought it got MUCH worse. So I'm just sayin'.......lower your expectations if you're already disappointed with the combat.

[distantmantra]

I thought Uncharted 3 was terrible. Had fun with the first one and thought the second one was fantastic. Uncharted 3 felt rushed and completely anticlimactic.

[Barkley's Justice]

it's a stinker

Totally agree. I was mostly okay with things...until I got to the pirate ship/ship graveyard. Story is lame and half-baked, setpieces of the sake of them, barely any flow, lame villain etc etc. It was a backstep in every way from Uncharted 2.

[Proelite]

Uncharted 3 had an underwhelming ending.

[RoboPlato]

Game really picks up in the next few chapters.

[Tokubetsu]

Hey dudes! Let me show you our cool water effects and stuff.
*Two-ish Hours Later*
Okay! Back to the actual story now I guess! Just wanted to show you something cool that had no real place in the narrative!

[Square Triangle]

Uncharted 3 was a great game but Uncharted 2 had set the bar.

[perineumlick]

So, you got to chapter 5 out of 22, and felt the urge to make a thread about how bad it is? What is it about people and ADD these days? How about finishing the game first?

[LiquidMetal14]

Slow down on the threads son.

I haven't even played UC3 >>

Basically you suck at the game. I didn't die once on that part, not even on my crushing playthrough.

Anyways, just jumped off multiplayer a bit ago. Still love the game. And was definitely my favorite game from last year.

[Radec]

...Got to chapter 5 or so...

[upJTboogie]

Starts getting much better from chapter 7, 12-14 is amazing, 16 should piss you off, and 20 to the end is fantastic.

Hey dudes! Let me show you our cool water effects and stuff. *Two-ish Hours Later* Okay! Back to the actual story now I guess! Just wanted to show you something cool that had no real place in the narrative!

It turned out the be the highlight of the game so I had no beef with it.

[Defuser]

It's good on it's own but it can't beat Uncharted 2.

Not to mention it doesn't have unlockables which is a blasphemy.

[Haunted]

It's great but wasn't goty.

You're not far enough into it to have a complete opinion on the game.

[Zabuza]

I thought it was a blast and thoroughly enjoyed the sometimes cheap multiplayer.

Some cons:

Areas with waves and waves of enemies.

Felt pretty short. Took me like 6 and a half hours.

No tweaks, cheats for single player.

Set pieces weren't as good as U2's.


(I thought the shooting mechanics were fine though.)

[DJ_Lae]

Yeah, I just started a playthrough a few days ago and I'm in the middle of that right now. Despite enjoying the game up until that point, I've sort of ground to a halt because of it.

[Jacksonlee]

story part really was a dissapointment; when 1st and 2nd had great storytelling elements and character development, the 3rd tried, and failed miserably.

[K.Sabot]

It was sooooo bland, the difficulty spiked at random, and the story was completely and utterly broken.

This game was disappointing when I played it, and time has only made me more bitter about it.

[BHK3]

Game starts off amazing, halfway through it nosedives.

[perineumlick]

It's great but wasn't goty. You're not far enough into it to have a complete opinion on the game.

No shit! It's a blatant attention whore thread, and we all fell for it.

[vferrel]

Uncharted 3 had an underwhelming ending.

I don't remember what happened at the end, but I remember being really underwhelmed with it. So I'd agree with this statement.

[UrbanRats]

I was good enough, but once finished you forget very quickly about it and yes, i don't think it was the GOTY by far.

[Persona7]

Chapter 5? What is that, about a hour and a half of gameplay?

[Meccanical]

The game was a huge disappointment to me.

It could have been better.

[Satchel]

Series peaked with the first game.

Uncharted 1 was a masterpiece with some flaws that could be overlooked being a new IP.

When you see the same flaws in 3 games following, plus some new ones, there's an issue.

I'm literally forcing my way through the second playthrough of 2 right now for the platinum.

So painful.

I played the first game 6 times. It's that good.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Turn new aiming on, get past boat level. Trust me, it starts slow but picks up to awesome after the boat.

[BruiserBear]

i thought i was the only one who thought that. yayyyy

probably for different reasons, but the firstone was a keeper.

[btkadams]

you died 5 times in the young drake chase? i didn't die once... i thought that sequence was really well done actually. were you playing on crushing or something?

[UrbanRats]

By the way, there isn't an official "GOTY" selection, right? Very few selected it for GOTY, not the VGAs, not the /V/GAs, not the GAF thread.

[Derrick01]

Best Uncharted really. I didn't play pre-aiming patch though.

[Chuck]

Basically you suck at the game. I didn't die once on that part, not even on my crushing playthrough.

Yeah, he sucks because the hyper-linear level design didn't do a good job of making it clear where the one and only place he was allowed to go was. Rather, it was a frequent problem throughout the entire game.

[KorrZ]

Wasn't nearly as good or memorable as Uncharted 2. There are definitely some encounters in that game that'd I'd call unfair, annoying and pace ruining.

[Kogepan]

Why is it ok to openly troll Sony, and but people get banned for criticising other companies?

OP really needed to open a NEW thread to voice his displeasure? Guess I should start new threads for all the games i don't like too.

[EXGN]

Yikes, people call Uncharted 3 "terrible" and a "stinker"? I agree it wasn't as good as U2 and is somewhat disappointing in that regard, but really? I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but yikes. Good games must be hard to come by if you think Uncharted 3 is that bad.

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Nice set pieces and graphics but my goodness was this game boring. The ending is ridiculous as well.

[Shalashaska161]

you died 5 times in the young drake chase? i didn't die once... i thought that sequence was really well done actually. were you playing on crushing or something?

I remember dying a bunch, and I watched my friend die a bunch as well. It was just too linear, and if you didn't spot the right ledge very quickly in a new section it was a restart.

I still liked the game though. One of the few games that I actually liked last year. My biggest problem with it was the combat sequences seemed incredibly forced. I had a much better time exploring and platforming than I ever did shooting.

[Rahxephon91]

I thought it was good. I enjoyed the smaller scale story, even if the villains were weak.

But yes the melee combat sucks.

[Rikkun]

I liked pretty much everything in this game, to me 2>3>>>>1.
Close combat went from awful to simple and clear.

And the story takes you in many places, and the ending actually makes sense all those ghost riders bc of hallucinations

[dreamer3kx]

Really, wow, I loved it, didnt think so many people disliked it, it was pretty much uncharted.

[Net_Wrecker]

It's more that the disappointment hit so hard that people are extra bitter. If you're like me and enjoyed the combat in Uncharted 2 only to play Uncharted 3 and find no joy, it stings, man. U3 actually annoyed me more than it put a smile on my face. That pain doesn't go away easy.

[Yjynx]

is this thread for real.....?

[Yagharek]

I didn't enjoy the game. I finished it, hoping it would get better. All the series staples like near death falls and bullet sponge late act enemies became worn out.

Massive letdown overall imo. Combat was poor too coming after a batman playthrough.

[ProfessorMoran]

Been like a good half a year or so, so lttp should be fine. Funny enough that I bought this day 1 for my bro but I've never bothered with it until today due to all the crying about how the game is garbage or whatever. Got to chapter 5 or so.

It ain't off, you just suck, no offense.

It's very pretty. It has a few decent encounters.

But uh...yeah, that's about it! Stealth sucks, the initial shooting controls I beat the game with sucked, waaaay too much walking around, puzzles sucked, one plot contrivance after another, and several sections are just flat-out boring.

I've beaten it twice, feel no strong urge to ever play it again. Unlike U2, which I've beat at least half a dozen times

[The Xtortionist]

I hate the encounter design in UC3. They spawn guys all over the fucking place. You'd be hard-pressed to find a significant number of encounters in the game where enemies don't spawn directly behind Drake at one point.

[pharmboy044]

GTFO, this is the worst thread of 2012.
