Do you agree that this is the most epic set piece of this generation?

Yeah it's super well done, but my fav in UC3 was probably the cruise ship. The entire game is a masterpiece. GOW 3 had a couplesick once too though, like Cronos. Most memorable moments are PS3 exclusive :D!

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]arkephonic, here's the problem with uncharted: it tries so hard, but so hard to be awesome, that it just becomes banal. that scene didn't make me go "whoa", it made me go "why is the plane suddenly on fire?". that desperate attempt to reach the maximum level of awesomeness backfires, and it becomes boring. shallow gameplay doesn't help.

Uncharted 3 took it too far. Everything f*cking blows up/collapses in that game. It happens so often that by the end (as you're skipping over the underground temple floor as it continues to break over and over) I couldn't help but laugh, as I once again plummeted to my short lived demise due to the fact I didn't do exactly what the developer wanted me to. They try to make everything so 'awesome' that it just becomes tedious. Uncharted 2 is still a f*cking awesome game. It paces itself between these moments, and at the time the style was pretty original. Uncharted 3 is like Uncharted 2 turned up to 11, and suffers greatly because of it. Doesn't help that they somehow managed to make the aiming worse.

Is this the Uncharted 3 airplane scene? You mean the one where you fight the same exact big guy in melee for about the fifth time, then have a shoot out, have the plane randomly explode, still be shooting at each other like idiots instead of trying to escape like normal people, go through a boring linear uncontrollable "air" section, then of course be the only one to survive and get lucky (again...) and then start one of the mos boring sequences you will ever play in your life? Yeah. I remember that.

My favorites are the collapsing building in Uncharted 2, the nuke in COD4 and the Leviathan in Resistance 2.

How in the world did this thread go from setpiece debate to a Uncharted cinematic discussion thread? I am not a PS3 fan. But you blind fanboys need to understand that Uncharted is a brilliant franchise and probably the best exclusive ip Sony has. The gameplay is SUPPOSED to have QTE's, because the game is a cinematic masterpiece. It has plenty of platforming and TPS gameplay to fill it in. While UC's gameplay might not be top-notch, its setpieces are amazing. Anyone denying that is a blind fanboy or hater who hasn't played it. THAT SAID, IMO Halo 3's Dual Scarab setpiece at the end of "The Covenant" mission is the best setpiece of the gen. The reason for this is that while you've taken down more than a few scarabs already in Halo 2 & Halo 3 and you know how to destroy them, you haven't ever been given as much choice or freedom to do it as in that setpiece. There are over 7 types of vehicles at your disposal, heavy weapons, AI friendlies, and enemy vehicles and weapons to take them down with. On Legendary this can be a daunting task. I have never experienced that setpiece the same way twice, and I doubt many other games have anything like that.

To be honest, I thought "cinematic" is the correct term, not "epic."

For me, epic means numbers and scale like Homeworld 2:

I love UC3, hell I love UC period. Best game of this gen, no doubt about it. But there are better epic set pieces IMO, like the oven in MGS4 you crawl through, and then fist fight liquid snake on top of the boat.

Most. Epic. Thing. Ever.

No, that moment was way too over the top and ruined all believability in the game for me actually.

Here is what I was talking about:

Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots - The Microwave Hall ...

MGS4 - Snake VS Liquid (PART 1)

No other game is more epic then that. NO. OTHER. GAME. PERIOD.

Uncharted is the best franchise in this generation. (Of course, Lems are going to disagree... They can spout garbage out of their mouths all they want.)

It's just filled with beautiful characters, story and environments, and not to mention it has one of the best visuals that consoles can render. Same thing can be said to the gameplay, it's just beautifully constructed. There's more... addictive multiplayer is also included. What more do you want from the Uncharted series?

It seems that only on a PlayStation platform where you can find this level of quality and immersion.

Nah MGS was better.

Still you can't deny this:

God of War III - Boss #5: Cronos [1/2] - YouTube

Most epic boss battle in history.

I suppose epic is really relative here. Being colossal doesn't really make this a good boss. Hell really it's nothing more than a glorified platforming section. Where the opponent is lacking so much dexterity he can't even slap his arm properly. Pretty boring.

Hades was a better boss and I think there have been much better boss fights in terms of "Epicness," including one boss in Bayonetta where you have to headbutt a flying building and another fight where you fight while riding a missile flying through a city.

Cronos is epic from a scale standpoint but it isn't very mechanically satisfying or challenging. It's like fighting a sick elephant with a box cutter.

I always thought set pieces and scripted events were for movies, not games.

Silly me :P.

I completely agree, the train level in Uncharted 2 beats any train level in any game i've played by a longshot, and no other game offers such an amazingly cinematic experience.
