That's what happens when you add MP to a game that doesn't neeed it. God of War is next.

Yeah, Uncharted 2 turned out so shitty

[revolverjgw]

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

5 times? That's a long chase, 5 times is like, nothing. There's ample checkpoints.

That's what happens when you add MP to a game that doesn't neeed it. God of War is next.

This series didn't even take off until it introduced multiplayer (which is awesome)

[GillianSeed79]

Oh come on. It wasn't that bad. You at least benefitted from Arnie's proactive fix to the wonky aiming. (Dude still needs a raise)

My biggest complaint was the set pieces for set pieces sake and the internet's wankfest over Sully and disdain for the supernatural elements that resulted in both Elena and Chole playing minor roles and an unsatisfying pay off.
LSD spiked water was a weak end game plot device when the villians already had that power from the start.

U2 is among my favorite games of this gen, but I feel U3 fell just a little short. The Last of US will hopefully be amazing.

[Stallion Free]

I found the kid stuff really boring.

Also, the setpieces didn't flow anywhere near as well as 2's.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

U3 is a great game.

[Radec]

haha.. oh wow.

[Calavera520]

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.

hmm, I loved the first one too, but the second is incredible. Everything is massively improved. Have to agree with a lot of the other posters here, I've played Uncharted 3 one time and was very disappointed. Haven't even put it back in my ps3 since then. I happily replay uncharted 2's singleplayer every few months...

[vazel]

The pacing was awful due to all the storytelling cinematic crap. Uncharted 2 hit a zenith with having a cinematic experience without compromising gameplay but then they go and ruin it with this game.

[Ænima]

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.

Seriously? Plenty of games that aren't Sony exclusives that also have a ton of critical acclaim get shit on here all the time. GTA4 and the Mass Effect series just off of the top of my head. If you can't take it then maybe you are the fanboy dipshit.

Anyway yeah while I couldn't put down UC2, UC3 just felt like a chore to play through. I am not sure if it was the game itself or just me getting tired of the Uncharted formula.

[Seda]

Come on, at the very absolute minimum, play half the game before making a LTTP thread over it.

[Zeer0id]

worst game of the year? surely you're exaggerating

i know what you meant (disagree though)

[shadowsdarknes]

Game came out in 2011, though. And I thought the game was fuckin awesome. Better than U2? Tough call.

[Huff]

I forgot games had to either be the best game or worst game ever.

Using this, yes, Uncharted 3 is the worst game ever.

[Teknoman]

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

What? The ending is the least ridiculous in the series. I mean the supernatural enemies in this one were actually hallucinations.

EDIT: And yes, Uncharted MP is some of the most fun MP this generation.

[Alaskanbullworm]

I really wanted to like the game, but it came off too underwhelming and I was just too disappointed by it. Finished the game, and like others have said, I completely forgot what happened. And since I absolutely hate the online for the series, I haven't touched the game since I finished the story. Whereas for Uncharted 2 I still remember the campaign a bit, and although I hated the final battle, I still remember what happened.

Don't get me wrong, there were some pretty fun levels and level designs, but for the most part I didn't like it nearly as much as the others in the series. At least there wasn't some mystical-snow-monkey-zombie-monster, except for those, what was it, the people with the flaming heads? And those weren't even real!

[arbok26]

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 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.

wow talk about being picky, like seriously i think uncharted players know this is not halo-esque in terms of gun mechanics but its pretty good all the same, its not even a first person shooter... besides gears of war, name another third person shooter with excellent mechanics?

You want bad mechanics - try GTA or MGS3 or Monster Hunter

if anything - the whole drugged out sequence was awful... how is anyone supposed to play with the screen like that, talk about headache inducing!

[volpone]

The shootouts suck.

Give me RE4, Gears or Dead Space any day of the week.

[Gooster]

OP misspelled Homefront.

[Riposte]

Shipyard was real cool. Otherwise, nothing special.

Wish they didn't ruin the multiplayer, not that I was much good at it to begin with lol.

[HyperBitHero]

Uncharted 3 is awful.

I did this video on how bad Talbot is written.

[shagg_187]

Singleplayer is Godly.
Multiplayer is abysmal.
Uncharted 2 was masterpiece.

[AgentWhiskers]

Uncharted 3 is awful. I did this video on how bad Talbot is written. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY5OA0QKEFQ

I'll check out your video, but awful? Really?

[chickdigger802]

Weird... y'all aced that young drake chase thing?

There were a few instances where you need to be like split second jumping or something... and I keep on getting 'caught' on stuff, and the men and black suits catches me =/

And I never said gunplay is bad. It just takes a while to get back into it after playing other shooters.

Doesn't help that I don't play shooters on ps3 or controller often.

[baekshi]

Worst of 2012, but best of 2011?


What is this...

[Baconsammy]

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.

Yep, much much worse. I enjoyed chapter 2, and then it all fell apart. I loved UC2, but UC3 is one of the worst games I played last year (I don't buy much of anything except big titles, so calling it the worst doesnt mean its terrible. Just the worst game I paid full price for).

[HyperBitHero]

I'll check out your video, but awful? Really?

The let down was much more intense for me because of how hyped I was for it.

[Stallion Free]

Weird... y'all aced that young drake chase thing?

I did think the camera direction was awkward during that sequence and it screwed me up once or twice.

[Kandrick]

Yeah, Uncharted 3 was pretty bad, and i played it before the patch, so the aiming was stupid, and hearing ND say that everything was fine was just too funny.

Crap story, bad gameplay, pretty graphics. But everything just felt disjointed, it's like they went for great set pieces before anything else.

[StuBurns]

It was pretty damn weak. I've not tried it post-patch though, I'm sure that stunts the blow a tad.

[Salz01]

I played the first multiple times. I played the second, more than the first. I played the third, once. Never played it again.

Something happened with third that I can't explain. I'm still irratated that they didn't include modifires. I don't care what the reasoning is, I loved that with part 2. That and somehow they made Chloe boring.

[DMeisterJ]

U3 starts out good and falters as the game goes on. Rooms of fights with spawn closets get old after a few hours, and the most egregious is a super duper long fight on the tanker thingy that has to be approached in a specific way since the spawn closets are very prevalent, and trying to get your health back behind cover during this section sucks, because of the aforementioned spawn closets.

[impact]

I think you mean best GOTY of 2011

[DevelopmentArrested]

Arthur Gies is that you?

[Zabka]

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.

This was a huge problem in this game. I died a whole lot from enemies coming out of nowhere with zero warning. Also died a lot from going off the predetermined path and falling 3 feet. And that fucking sandstorm fight.

Plus all the dudes running around in suits with slightly-too-long-arms gave me serious Virtua Cop flashbacks. And Chloe and Elena looked WEIRD.

[chickdigger802]

oh... yeah it's 2012 this year...

[Tricky I Shadow]

Fantastic game. Uncharted 2 is still king, but Uncharted 3 still deserved all the GOTY’s it got!

[iamshadowlark]

Uncharted 3 was great but fell short of 2.

[cluxdeluxe]

I could never get into the third like I did with 2. There was too many long drawn out sections like the young drake, running around drugged, and the desert. I beat the 2nd one a million times but I could never make it through my 2nd play through on the 3rd.

[WinoMcCougarstein]

Great graphics and entertaining cutscenes but some of the worst game play of the generation when it comes to the shooting portions. Terrible enemy AI and the same pattern of bad guys over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Not a bad game by any means, but certainly not the 11/10 most of GAF would have you believe it is. Hell, it's not even as good as UC2. I'd give UC2 a 9.5/10 and UC3 a 7/10.

[The Lamp]

wasn't as carefully put together as Uncharted 2. The story wasn't as good and the characters not as interesting, the dialogue not as witty.

But the gameplay was there pretty much and the set pieces were amazing.

Uncharted 2's still my favorite though :)

[chickdigger802]

About how long is a playthrough of this?

[GillianSeed79]

The let down was much more intense for me because of how hyped I was for it.

That video perfectly captures everything I hated about U3's story. The chase sequence we didn't who this guy was for a year plus highlights everything wrong with U3. U2 was amazing for me because the villians were so good.

[Stallion Free]

About how long is a playthrough of this?

Like 8-10 hours or so.

[Khold]

I thought it was fun, but yeah it's obvious they came up with the set pieces first and then strung them together.

[Tookay]

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.

So, because a person voices displeasure about a videogame, that somehow equates to trolling Sony?

I don't think you understand how message boards or discussions work.

[Raonak]

shouldn't you wait til you finish the game before you make a LTTP?


U2 is a rollercoaster ride that doesn't really slow down.
while U3 takes a while to ramp up.

think i like U3 slightly better. but not entirely sure. they both have their pros and cons.

[James Sawyer Ford]

There weren't any standout GOTY's last year.

Uncharted 3 was awesome but it was basically Uncharted 2 part 2. It didn't advance the series at all, and the multiplayer seemed like they threw too much shit at the wall and none of it really stuck all that well together. The simplicity of UC2 pre-patch felt perfect.

[DerZuhälter]

Worst GOTY 2011...

Hey! Wait a second. This isn't a Skyrim Thread!

[gadwn]

Some of the criticism Uncharted 3 has to endure is mind-boggling. I seriously can't understand what games you like if you call it a bad game.

Uncharted 2 and 3 really is the pinnacle of cinematic action games.
