I've got a confession to make....

I didn't enjoy the Uncharted demo. thought it was boring and the gun-play was bad, unrealistic, as in getting a headshot, wouldn't kill them always. also, the parts in-between weren't very fun at all. and one more thing, the pirates were over-powered, even on normal, took a lot less shots to kill you than it did them. out of 10, i'd give it a 7.5 at most, perhaps im being generous but i just didn't like it, wasn't worth the time d/ling it.

go ahead and flame me, but for the record i aint a troll, in fact, i only own a playstation(want a wii though lol). just my 2 cents.

just thought i would throw this out there since i keep seeing everyone "OMG UNCHARTED IS AWESOME!!!!"....only alright.

I kinda agree with you on that one. The game looks beautiful, the animation is pretty slick, and the controls are pretty good but the cover system is not as tight as it ought to be and neither is the enemy AI. For example, I was able to take out waves and waves of pirates from just one single cover position; I only moved when I had to gather ammo. I didn't see any sort of coordination or flanking tactics from the AI. It seems like Naughty Dog spent a lot of time and effort on this game and the production quality is definately an indicator of that but the combat seemed a little repetive and simple. I think I'll just be renting this one when it comes out.wickerman_122

yea, i was able to do that to. and the enemies seemed to either stay really far away where its hard to hit you, or charge in. ill definitely give this a rent just because but see no reason to buy. your right though, great visuals. best jungle enviro ever.

i just disagree with u, the game is really awsome.

note :
there was a head shot in the game.

okay when you shoot it doesn't go exactly where the reticle is sometimes, so some of the shots will just wing a guy.americahellyeah

yea, but the guy reacted as he got shot there, bending back and twisting slightly. i dunno.

they try and dodge your shots too, and if you just winged him hes still gonna react, that what people do when the get shot, even just alittle. ;)

It was okay, but i agree the killing factor is not well balanced. I like the way it is in CoD4. more realistic.

The cover sysytem was better done in Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas.

i like the stacked animations though and the graphics are pretty good.

I'll keep an eye on this titel, but i'm sure it's no GOTY.

I would have to disagree with you, I thought the AI was really amazing its just kind of hard to flank someone when you stay way way back behind a huge stone pillar the whole time. I can think of more than once that they outsmarted me, at almost every gun battle they've gotten pretty close to taking me out. The first fight I found this out is when you jump down to the big area with all the guys is if you get in too close to them they will form a circle around you and close in, the second time i've found something neat they did is when the guy with the shotgun comes out all the guys with the normal guns will keep you pinned behind cover while he runs at you to shotgun you to death and the last gate i've found that if you don't pay attention to all the guys in there they will run to the sides oppisite of where you are taking cover and they'll fire on you, and hasn't naughty dog said that these are just pirates and as it goes on you will fight proffesional fighters?

Now I'd have to disagree with the person that said that nathan takes way less shots to kill then the enemy, but if anything it takes twice as many to take you down as the pirates, and are you sure you're not playing on hard cause that is the only difficulty level where you even come close to being taken down with the same amount of shots as them.

Now the person that said that he was goin around like spiderman, thats just ridiculous and I would say that you would be surprised by what a semi-athletic person could acomplish under pressure.

So when I started playing the demo the cover system did seem to be difficult to get to work right but as you play it more it will start to bear much better results as it has with me. Yeah the firing with the pisol and machine gun do seem to sometimes trail off from their intended targets but i feel its more with a problem with the crosshair than the games fault.

Also i did not find the gameplay repetitive as I have played the demo over and over again there was something that wowed me every single time and most recently I found out in the first area if they do not see you you can sneak up and kill 3 or 4 of them by breaking their necks before they see you and start shooting.

And lets not forget that the demo didn't have a lick of the great pulp story we were promised so i wouldn't go as far as to say the games a flop or not good at all and some game just aren't for everyone it seems.

"gun-play was bad, unrealistic, as in getting a headshot, wouldn't kill them always."

The gun play works just fine and the bullets will go anywhere within the crosshair. It will randomly miss the head if there is a spot in the cross hair that is not on the target.

"the pirates were over-powered, even on normal, took a lot less shots to kill you than it did them"

Not true. The level of damage depends on where they hit you.

You have an opinion. You don't like the demo. Fine. I however really like the demo.

I believe the bad accuracy is intentional afterall you are not playing with some kind of trained merc but an average joe hot114

I agree.. Even a trained mecenary wouldn't be able to pull off perfect shots from 50 meters away with a handgun that got substantial recoil.. Headshots kill everytime, your bullet just might've hit his neck or so.. I think they got a pretty nice hitbox which specifies damage dealt..

But hey, I see tons post that says "Uncharted: Drake's fortune is a lovely game" for every, 'I don't like it'.. And that's cool, Naugthy dog can't expect to hit every single gamer, that's just unreasonable..

As for confession, why do you need to confess? :P

I was alble to pull off a headshot, right behind someone who didn't know I was there yet.

Oh wow, and I thought I was the only one that saw these inconsistent elements of the game. Where were you guys, lol? Everyone is all in "awe" of the visuals, the wet effect of Drake's clothes after he gets out of the water, so many threads focused on how great the graphics are and not focus on the one key part of games, gameplay. I know it was just a demo but all it takes is just a few play throughs to see that this isn't a game to snag on the day of release!

To the TC, I am glad I wasn't the only one. As much as I favor Sony and game exclusives, I just couldn't get passed the awkward gunfights with poor hit detection and the unusual AI (noted on another thread).

Maybe so, but demos are more previews of what the game is about.

And to all others, now I see you are making excuses as to why a well placed head shot won't take an enemy out because Drake is an average Joe? Yea ok so why does the "average Joe" have a gun in holster to begin the game? He must have some skill if he already starts off the game with a weapon. If he was an "average Joe", then maybe after he crashed he would have found a loaded gun in the jungle and I would have understood your reasons why he couldn't place a headshot to take enemies out.

Since so many of you have a reason for everything, explain why enemies shoot nothing but air after throwing a grenade from high up, and Drake isn't even in their field of view? How can the pirates know where the grenade was coming from if they didn't see Drake throw itinitially, yet, they immediately react to his position way up top and starts shooting continuously at air? Kojima should have worked with Naughty Dog there...

Its only a demo. Usually demoes are easy you have to play the real game for a challange. NinjaMunkey01

there is few that i understand it did not impress you you have and opinion but some of you i don't see you guys in here at all so i think some you guys are just agree with him to make the game look worse. i see this all the time. trolls love topics like this. yes i can hate on it to and not look like a troll. not to you tc. i think if you play the demo more than say 4 times you get the feel of the controls. yes i was like omg why on earth are you aiming for the tree. the key is to look until the target is in the middle of the screen then aim. yes he is a averge joe, but in reel life there is wind ect. just because you aim at something does not meen the bullit will end up there. i shoot all the time with my mothers boy friend and i can tell you that just because you aim does not mean it will be at that exat spot.

i think your not giving it a chance tc. be honest how many times have you played the demo. once or twice. i love how people play a game the first time expecting to be a pro at it. the ai is great in this game the take cover, flank, duck ect.

what do expect from the ai that it takes an hour to shoot some one.

poor naughty dog 90% of you guys think the game sucks. owell looks like they will not make jak and dexter because there going to go bankrup because they added jumping in the game. ok we all get it not gears of war = sucks. looks like i need to trade in my ps 3 for a 360 because this game not gears of war. o well not a fps = sucks. ai sucks because you don't die 5 seconds into game play.

sorry naughty dog we hate your game.

I must disagree with the topic creator and fully agree with laved.

When I hit an enemy square in the head/face with a bullet he died, instantly. Also, in regards to the AI, I thought the AI was great. I was circled and trapped a few times by enemies and some even charged at me from the sides while the enemies in the front laid down suppressing fire which I thought was really cool. I think the AI is much, much better on hard and I will begin the game on the hardest difficulty because I think it will be the most fun to play.

Anyway, sorry you didn't like the game TC, I personally loved it and I can't wait to pick it up.

Really, no headshots? That sux. My demo was different. BTW, shooting them in the leg and watching them hobble around is AWESOME!!!! However, my favorite "action" was running up toward a pirate and taking their gun away from them and shooting them with it.janzaruk

As for the HS deal...I pull a lot of HS in the demo, your aim must suck. They did flank me, especially in the last gate :o

I'm glad some people don't like the demo, means we aren't blind fanboys.

Personally I loved the game, the gunplay is good, animations are great especially when the mercs flinch after a near headsot.

The thing I liked most was the AI, I couldn't keep up, with the guys flanking me and tossing grenades to make me run for cover.

Maybe not a GOTY to some, but for me this game gonna rock.

Sorry...I don't agree...maybe it's your aim...I got a few headshots in and it took out the enemy no prob...the platforming aspect was fun for me and initally I thought the AI was tough, but I didn't really get all the gameplay mechanics down...when I did, I got past all the enemies no prob...but hey...different strokes for different folks...I'll still be getting this game in a couple of days....can't wait...

now if they had dressed him up with a pony tail and tight shorts and some lady bumps....blackdog44

..... wats ur point??? he'd still be a man...

thank you for both commenting and not eating me alive lol.MGSFan27285

thank you for both commenting and not eating me alive lol.MGSFan27285

- lol, you got big ones...after reading your post i thought the replies were going to be brutal too considering how the majority of ppl seem to be in AWE over the demo?

after i was finally able to d/l the demo which took damn near 5 hrs., my 1st impression was pretty much the same (it sucked BIG time) but instead of deleting it, i played it again...and it's not so bad, but definately not "OMG AWESOME" imo!

i may check out the full game for the graphics & to add to my PS3 collection...but atm Tomb Raider: Anniversary is more interesting aside from the graphics.

Just to make sure we understand each other... Drake is not a + merc, it is JUST a NORMAL guy with all kind of GUNS, this is WHY he shoots that bad BECAUSE isa R-E-A-L-I-S-T-I-C feature, understood?
