I consider these games to have the lowest replay value of any of the "big games" but the initial playthrough is k-rad just to see what crazy shit they throw at you. Great rental.

That's ridiculous; it's like the reviewer didn't play 50% of the game.  He mentions the same control issues he found and nothing more.  Uncharted multi is not only different from those FPS games mentioned, but there's co-op as well. 

That review focuses on the story far too much and barely touches on the game play.  They should stick to movies.

This game's multiplayer versus modes have been available for a month now.  Co-op was not, but surely the reviewer could have found someone to play with...versus allows for split-screen online multi.  I'd be surprised if Co-op didn't.

Thats true, forgot it was made available early.  Considering how poorly the first month if it was regarded then it's probably a good thing it wasnt reviewed.

it's nice that they include some directly comparable environments shared between the three uncharted games (four if you included the Vita one).

Uncharted 1 already looked like plastic butt compared to Uncharted 2.  Uncharted 3 isn't as obvious or massive an improvement, except for them shiny eyes getting fixed, and there's some pop in and funky animation with the collision detection that's straight up groping dudes in AssCreed 1, but it still looks pretty crazy and I kinda want to play it in 3D.  There're a bunch of parts that scream "meant for 3D."

Game is great so far (Chapter 8 or something).  Although the Uncharted-isms are getting tiring.  oh boy I'm climbing a pole! gee I wonder if it will break! what a rush.  Melee seems a lot more useful now.  Areas so far are really dense so you can really be punching dudes without having another jackass shoot you from behind.  Shooting feels better too, once you get past the unusually slow camera movement even at maximum speed.

Batman AA/AC has like the most satisfying feeling melee combat, so yeah.  Ineptitude of Uncharted melee comes out when it's the focus and not just something between shooting people...which is why a giant brawl felt dumb and what.

4/10

Quote
As a shooter, Uncharted 3 is solid, if not mostly the same as its ever been. I can do without the fisticuff QTEs, which play like a bargain bin version of the fighting from Batman: Arkham City. It's especially silly how you have to keep fighting the same big guy over and over, as if Uncharted 3 needs to keep saying, "Hey, remember how cool this bit was in Raider of the Lost Ark?" Uncharted 3 says that a lot. But the gunplay is good, and it provides a solid foundation for the mostly typical multiplayer support. You get lots of options for leveling up, customizing your characters, and playing various types of cooperative and competitive games. There's even a competitive/cooperative mode in which two teams of two players take turns playing the heroes and playing special thugs amid all the AI thugs.

But as an overall package, Uncharted 3 is mostly filler without gameplay. It's the modern equivalent of those full motion video games folks made back in the 90s when new CD-ROMs afforded all that storage space. So developers shot video footage, grafted it onto various games (usually puzzle collections), and a genre was born. Who cares whether there was an actual game in there? We were watching actual real video featuring celebrities like Mark Hamill, Dennis Hopper, Rob Schneider, and whoever the chick was in that Phantasmagoria game! She was famous, wasn't she? I forget.

The first three chapters are like cut scene cut scene cut scene QTE cut scene QTE walk around and look at stuff cut scene cut scene.  If there's going to be even more nonsensical QTE crap to come, then I definitely see how UC2 is gonna end up the better game.  4/10 still seems ridiculous though.

Didn't try co-op (friends were finishing up UC2 co-op) but multi seemed improved.  Weapon balance felt better.

Let's be fair and reserve judgment for after we play through the game.  I doubt it's a 4/10 too though.  This is like Gaming-Age's Ninja Gaiden 2 C-.

Tom Chick also seems to have ignored multiplayer and co-op modes.  He mentions they are available and that's it.  It's okay to write video game reviews while disregarding 2/3rds of the game content?   ???

Two years still isn't that long, though. Some people still played the MP regurlaly. I had the same with Super Mario Galaxy 2. It released way to fast after the original. It just wasn't that refreshing anymore.

My Uncharted game rating:

Uncharted - 7.5
Uncharted 2 - 9
Uncharted 3 - 8.5

And yeah, there are QTE's. But I don't mind. It's Uncharted.

Cinematic games and rewarding gameplay don't go togehter at all.

I haven't played U3, only got to Nepal in U2 and finished U1 (and loved it!).

But I think there's only so much shallow gameplay one can take. Esp when the game drags on and on. That's what COD gets right in all its shittyness, its 4/5 hour and bam its over before youre totally bored.

If a rollercoaster ride lasts too long you're no longer excited, but nauseas.

Post by: bork on November 03, 2011, 10:35:45 AM
The game started getting much better after those initial few chapters.  Still has a bit too many "cinematic" moments for my liking, but the older Uncharted feel is derfinitely back.  So far I think that UC2 is definitely better.  Calling this an "expansion pack" is little much, but it's definitely hit the "more of the same" feel that all these other big-budget game sequels have had.

Two years still isn't that long, though. Some people still played the MP regurlaly. I had the same with Super Mario Galaxy 2. It released way to fast after the original. It just wasn't that refreshing anymore.

My Uncharted game rating:

Uncharted - 7.5
Uncharted 2 - 9
Uncharted 3 - 8.5

And yeah, there are QTE's. But I don't mind. It's Uncharted.

I have a feeling it's going to end up like for me as well. 

given that the multiplayer is tedious shit for folks who can't hack it in cod, bf, or halo: yes.

This game isn't like those FPS games though.  It's closer to Gears, but a better comparison would be to Lost Planet.  Your character is far more agile and you can climb/platform all over the place in matches.  It feels different enough to stand on its own.

Regardless, journos should be playing and discussing these modes in their reviews.

I was just reading the IGN review out of curiosity and came across this gem

Quote from: IGN
Calling it a game sells Uncharted 3 short. This is an experience, a complete package.

When I rant about why Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is better than just about anything on the market -- about why I think it's my new favorite game of all time -- I don't talk about the firefights, the new ability to throw grenades back at enemies or collecting the game's 101 well-hidden treasures. I talk about the heart-wrenching section where Drake is by himself and completely lost. He's on his last legs, he's desperate, and I'm right there with him. I'm pushing him through the journey at hand and it's clear that it's a game, but as he stumbles, seeks shelter and loses hope, my heart breaks.

 :lol Jesus Christ.

You know I think there will always be games that on an individual or personal level get to us. RDR and Mass Effect 2 got to me especially on a story level but even I wouldn't say shit like this.

I think Uncharted 2 is better.  I replayed Uncharted 2 earlier this year and that's not nostalgia for the past world of 2009.   Uncharted 3 is really good too, but it has so many more problems and ways it breaks what was fine in Uncharted 2.  A lot of it just feels straight up clumsy.

and ffs, early on I'm thinking the fist fights were ok, but there's constantly a brawl and that shit gets tiring fast.  It's always boring pawns, big guy, snore (not in that order).

Uncharted 2 had square for attack and triangle to counter-attack.  That's enough.  Uncharted 3 melee scenes last like 20 seconds of square, triangle, mash circle; fuck circle! and again, it feel so clumsy because you can't quickly go back to "shoot mode." I kept thinking it would only make sense to push the enemy away and have a point blank finisher.  But it's like they really, really, really want you to check out that sick nasty circle button action.

the circle button sucks so much.  dodge, cover, and grab are all mapped to it.  what's great is trying to take roll near an enemy and cover; the game freaks out.

and and and the pacing is out of whack.  some areas are so draining because you're in them for so long doing so nothing.

the biggest improvement is the story and stuff because it's a shameless amalgamation of indiana jones movies.  Uncharted 1 and 2 dipping into C-grade adventure moves.  not really why I play the games, but whatever.

Overall the game was great like Uncharted 2 was, just underwhelming by comparison.  Still had great set pieces and looked crazy and stuff.  That said, and reviews lol and wahtever, but games critics are out of fucking control to rate this so high.

and spoilery stuff

Apparently there aren't any secrets to unlock like fatty Drake, next gen filter, and things like that from the other games.

Game seems a bit rushed 

Input Lag?  Pass.  I can't imagine any problem that can can ruin a game quicker.

you definitely feel it and it gets annoying.

it's weird because controls feel great in co-op.  even ignoring the animation and ability changes of co-op, like springing and fast vaulting, aiming feels snappy and nice in multiplayer.   single player is broken acceleration and delay.

I'm on chapter 8 and not sure I'm gonna finish it. The game feels super padded and I'm not having nearly as much fun as I did with Unchi 2. Just too much "oh a tomb, oh it's collapsing, oh we escaped, oh they showed up and took our shit" x20. and that takes 5x as long as it needs to because the levels are too expansive.

I'm also not a fan of the combat or shooting this time around - there is a bizarre over-emphasis on melee that causes dudes to rush you all the goddamned time, and almost every firefight in the game feels about 200% as long as it needs to be.

Stealth in Uncharted 2 was good.  Other than the introduction level, it was never mandatory and either an alternative to a firefight or a means to better prepare yourself.  Uncharted 3 stealth is dumb because there's no point to it.   The level designs don't encourage it and enemies emerge out of nowhere regardless.   

and I still don't understand vertical cover at all.  didn't make sense in dark avoid and doesn't make sense here. 

It's definitely a decent game despite a few probs but man, did they blow all the goodwill they had with me from 2. Very disappointing in that respect. No way in hell I'm buying a Vita for Uncharted now, which I would previously have been quite tempted to do...

Uncharted Vita isn't from Naughty Dog.  The developer is Sony Bend, whose most recent games are all PSP shooters like the two Syphon Filters and Resistance Retribution.

Random guess, but I think Uncharted Vita will be more like Uncharted 1 structure with the gameplay of Uncharted 2.  At least they haven't shown any set pieces or larger environment comparable to Uncharted 2/3.  I'm looking forward to it because Bend's PSP games were great.

I'd say this is the most disappointing game of the year for me, so far. Only Zelda could take the throne. But U2 was so good compared to the shitty Twilight Princess. Skyward Sword can only get better...

Uncharted needs to take a rest. I don't even want to play the Vita version anymore.

Finished the game on normal; enjoyed the finale and ending more than UC2, but yeah, UC2's campaign mode was much more enjoyable in the end.  A lot of the later fights were extremely annoying, since you'd get rushed by an armored enemy that you'd HAVE to melee to kill, only you'd have another three enemies targeting and shooting at you before it was over. 

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The shipyard/ship levels and desert-wandering-nonsense felt like they dragged on.  Those, combined with the full-of-cut-scenes beginning are what really brought this title down compared to UC2.

From a story perspective, I also didn't like how Cutter and Chloe were gone after the Syria levels and never seen again.  Would have been nice to have had them show up in the ending.

Jak 2 had great platforming moments but the wannabe GTA overworld travel was horrible.

Agreed. It was too to hit a cop by accident and spend endless and useless amounts of time running away from them. Oddly, this is one mechanic which was transferred from Jak 2 to GTA IV...

i like how the melee context buttons are the same thing as the picking up ammo buttons because yeah now that i think about it i need some pistol ammo right smack dab in the middle of this fist fight

So far this one just feels like a lot of:

"Hey, remember all the stuff people hated about the first game? Let's give that another try. I know we can do it better this time."

NO YOU CAN'T

Yeah.  It feels like UC1's worst combat parts in UC2's story and setpieces.

How far are you?  Because if you don't like UC1's combat and you don't like this melee stuff you are going to hate the game after the halfway point.

i'm at the syrian tower part and the bullshit, it is overflowing

like grenades being tossed at me right in the middle of melee fights with those armored guys

to be fair, that's not a problem singular to uncharted 3, but it always bugs the shit out of me in games, as if the bad guys all have such casual disregard for each other that they'll lob grenades straight into a bunch of their coworkers (and, i assume, friends) just to get me

"i blew off half of greg's skull and left his children fatherless, so thanksgiving is gonna be a real bummer this year, but at least i got that drake fuck"

Are you playing on normal?  The Syrian tower is before the combat kicks into BULLSHIT gear, so if you're running into annoying parts you might bail on the game once you get to chapter 12 or 13 where the COMBAT COMBAT COMBAT COMBAT starts and last for the entire 2nd half of the game non-stop.

My strategy for the armored guys is to stay away from them since they don't have much range and take everyone else in the area out by running around and then when it's just an armored guy or two I can get really far away and do headshots until they go down.

it's mainly the grenades and the melee combat

i haven't died once from gunfire, but i have been blown to smithereens several times because i'm either trapped in melee or the "toss-back" mechanic fucks up

I can't remember if they start tossing in enemies with explosives and snipers at that point in the game.  I'll just say that it gets a lot more bullshitty.

Deaths in Uncharted 3 don't feel like the player's inability like in Uncharted 2 (sans U2's boss).  Lots of cheap deaths from badly designed encounters and mechanics that can't keep up.

I'm sure this is common knowledge by now but just in case - I've been told that 3 was a B team effort so yeah. I was stunned at the drop-off from 2.

Stealth in Uncharted 3 is hilarious because you can't really avoid detection and more enemies rush into the room regardless.  In UC2, it was to take out as many enemies before a firefight and gain a positional advantage.


I'm sure this is common knowledge by now but just in case - I've been told that 3 was a B team effort so yeah. I was stunned at the drop-off from 2.

iirc those behind Uncharted 2 went to work on The Last of Us.  Uncharted 3's lead was the lead of Uncharted 2's multiplayer.  The writer was the same, but the actors' schedules conflicted and a lot of the story had to be changed.  I think they've also admitted to rushing Uncharted 3.

Man, it really shows.

The story still has some charm, and I have chuckled a little at certain bits, but the actual gameplay is more annoyance than anything else. I find myself wishing i could just watch someone else play it.

Like, there is this scripted bit where one of the huge guys busts out of a door you are opening. I got the upper hand right away and knocked him to his knees, then whaled on the guy for a solid 10 seconds but couldn't knock him out because the scripting didn't want him to go down just yet. I had to do some grapple/dodge shit to reach the "cinematic flourish" finish, whereas in any other game the guy would have fallen pretty quickly.

I do want a young Sully game, just to see what kind of skeevy shit they could have him doing.

Uncharted Golden Abyss should have been a game featuring the younger Sully.

Uncharted 3 has some really fun spectacle.  I'm glad to be playing it, but I still really prefer the 2nd one.

good news!  I think that's the chapters I have been going through in UC3.

How so?  It's been updated and is better than UC2 IMO.

Completely agreed. This is not a 92 metacritic game.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/uncharted-3-drakes-deception

I'm about at Chapter 15 or so and its no where near the 2nd game. I would actively say so far this is a pretty average game. That pirate ship and being on the boat levels after that drag on forever. The thing about Uncharted or COD games, or any especially linear game is that you need to break it up so it doesn't get boring. That pirate ship stuff went on forever and forever and forever. It was boring. And the pirate ship leader was boring and his actions made no sense.

The story and charm factor of this game compared to the last one is way down. And the mechanics are still kind of clunky so its no real improvement there either. Confusing camera angles. Instant death trick situations. I haven't tried the mp yet so maybe that part is amazing but otherwise people are reviewing the tech of Naughty Dog rather than the actual game they created. Of course maybe it will pick up immensely down the stretch but there's been enough so far to say this game is a big drop off.
