I remember when Uncharted 2 was released back in 2009, it still being a relatively new IP, became the PlayStation biggest newest IP. And now the Uncharted IP is one of the biggest PlayStation franchises, perhaps one of the biggest gaming franchises of these times.
I remember back after Uc2 released, a few months later came Me2 and in the words of LP from technobuffalo, "shared Uc2's pedestal." Indeed, they both have a 96 on metacritic.
then Greg Miller comes out with this stupidass article about how Me2's better than Uc2, (not saying Me2 isn't > Uc2, in fact I can't say which one is better, which is why I made this thread, but we'll get to that later) and he says how the one time he felt the suspense in Uc2 "...wasn't until the "grenade scene" near the end of Uncharted 2 that I really had an "OMG, what happens next?!?!" moment. Meanwhile, Mass Effect 2 is filled with those moments."
And je also talks about how you can actually put some input on the campaign while Uncharted doesn't let you meddle with the story at all whatsoever, and that's why ultimately Me2 got a slightly higher score than Uc2. However, the only reason I'm calling him out on all this is because this same fucking guy gives Uc3 a 10/10. Uh, so now it's better than Mass Effect even though you still give no input during the playthrough?
Anyways, for myself, I think both of these games are among the defining games of the 7th generation, and I really can't tell which has the better story. I also had to wait over a year after release to play Me2 since it was a timed 360 exclusive. I admit the replay value of Uc2 mostly came with the multiplayer, and Me2's replay value came with being able to play it differently.
What do you say?
