In addition, it boggles me how some people try to describe Uncharted's gun play as clunky and slow and then use Gears of War for their comparison LOL...
It's like people here grasp for straws here ALL THE TIME. I just don't get it. This is coming from someone who played both betas. Uncharted 3 definitely got me more hooked and I think that it comes down nothing more than the variety of the game and the personality. By variety I just mean that there are so many ways to own people in the game and there's more than you can do other than running into cover and hiding. You have to remember that this is a third person shooter/platformer/cover based all in one.
And yes even though TREAL feels that cover is pointless, he must be using it in the wrong situations. I popped in and out of cover to get kills before plenty of times. I've blind fired plenty of times. That aspect of the game is there and it's used, just not to the extent of Gears of War, which is all that you do in that game.
I mentioned personality and I got a lot of that from the Beta of UC3 due to the whole customization aspect, treasure collecting, Unchated TV (to see awesome plays), the characters, the beautiful and varied maps, the sound effects and music, and of course the fact you can choose like 12 different taunts AND high five your buddy. It's all really great and nothing seems out of place.
The argument that TREAL made about the replay value comparison between Uncharted 3 and Gears of War 3 is a joke. Uncharted 3 is the game with all the leveling, varied game modes that involve a ton of platforming and teamwork (see plunder), and tons of collecting for customizating your character. Also there's Uncharted TV integrated into it and I'm sure people will be aiming to get their clip up there for plays of the week. I'm leaving some other things out, but you really think that GeoW 3 will actually stomp Uncharted 3 in multiplayer replay value? The main things that Gears of War 3 has that helps it is 4 player campaign mode (which will most likely not even touch Uncharted 3's single player, let's be honest here guys, lol). Still, that's awesome and Gears of War is able to be designed around that. The other thing are the bots you can play against. To me that, is not enough reason for GeoW 3 to kill UC3 in multiplayer replay value when you consider the fact that Uncharted 3 has taken the CoD route with all the unlockables and customization plus pretty creative game modes and innovate multiplayer ideas like powerplays, etc.
