Specifically the campaign, the entire experience just felt like a major step down compared to Uncharted 2. The main things that killed U3 for me was

1. Very slow and boring opening chapters.

2. Very very weak villains

3. Ending does nothing to explain the many questions the story arises.

Number 3 is probably my biggest complaint. The game has a ton of build up with a lot of unanswered questions about the Villains, Drake, Sully, etc. However, the game fails to answer these questions. I feel like there are some major obvious plot holes that the game seems to ignore completely.

Uncharted 3 felt more like they were trying to give the player a cinematic experience without the good story and memorable characters this time around. Well...at least the multiplayer is pretty good.

I tend to disagree with all of that. I beat it in two days and It was a great experience, the multiplayer is sort of lack luster but I don't play this series for that.

My only complaint is the length. I beat the game in 8:30 on hard. Not sure how people say the game is 10 hours+.

I'm actually liking the MP, FFA is so much fun, it's a nice get away from the sawed off fest.

Very little to complain about in it. The worst complaint I came come up with on my playthrough so far is that some of the segments are not as amazing as other parts (like 9/10 quality to others with 10/10 quality).

To me it was kind of like ME2, a lot more cinimatic, a lot less difficult and deep, and the story was not as great as I hoped. But still overall a great game.

About halfway through. I like it but it has the more of the same feel I get with most games about the time it gets to the third one. To be honest I really am not interested in playing it anymore. They did improve multiplayer though but I only play deathmatch and it is a tad bit to easy to kill or be killed. I think the 2nd one is better but it is probably franchise fatigue.

the villains in the other uncharted games were not the best either. i didnt find the story to be boring. I thought it was well paced and immersive. and I dont recall any serious questions that went unexplained or that needed an explanation.

it wasnt disapointing at all

I never really liked UC because of the fact that its the same 1. Shooting/stealth segment 2. Platforming segment 3. Hybrid of 1 and 2 4. Huge OMG moment And rinse and repeat

I feel extremely disapointed. The aiming is off. The movement isn't fery fluid. Fight mechanics got boring and monotonous. Why is there always a big strong dude at the end of each group fight. Dumb.

Very disappointing. Played for a few hours, boring all the way through. Uncharted 2's campaign was way more enjoyable.

This thread is going to be full of:

a) People that blow the flaws out of proportion. Some of these people will not have played the game.

Example: "LOL, the platforming is so limited in this game, the aiming is so slow, and there are so many bugs and glitches. This is an 7.0 game at best. I can't believe 9GN gave this linear piece of garbage a 10."

b) People who pretend that they were more amazed by the game than they actually were. Some of these people will pretend that legit flaws are just nitpicks.

"OMG! Epic! My jaw hit the floor! This game has the best graphics I've ever seen in a game! This game easily surpasses Uncharted 2! Best game of the gen! I didn't see any bugs! Aiming was just fine for me! Seems like you guys are just JELLY!!!"

Game is definitely more boring compared to the second one. I am having a tough time caring about the story. The game is probably better than the second one, but the "been there done that" really brings it down a couple notches.

Too many games released all at once. Haven't got a chance to try UC3 yet. It looks good from what i've seen but i don't think i'll as impressed as i was with UC2 back in 09.

Do it.....OR ELSE. *thunder in background / scary music plays* Haven't played uc3 yet, my gaming fund is pretty small right now and I need a new Elder Scrolls game soon or I could die (it's a pretty serious medical condition). Since I didn't like uc2 all that much I'll wait until uc3 price comes down.

On a scale of Resident Evil 5 to Final Fantasy XIII, I'd give it about an Infamous 2.

I was a little disappointed too. I expected a jump from 2 to 3 like 1 to 2, but it didn't happen.

And I thought it was just me. (in regards to the aiming). I knew something wasn't right with the controls.

I also agree with all your other points.

haven't started the campaign yet cause we are still waiting on the TV to come in. I will say that the MP feels much better than before. Also, there's SPLIT SCREEN co-op = win

Boy, it's sad that people are basically telling other people that they're "wrong" about their own opinions. I think Uncharted 3 didn't deserve the 10 on IGN. a 9 is more respectable. -Aiming is bad. So much so that I ended up killing more people with blind fire than anything else. -The story doesn't conclude well. [spoiler] -Who is that secret society? -Why is it that Talbot seemed to have some superhuman ( or at least unexplainable ) abilities? -What were those bug things? -Why was that one guy in the Chateau decrepit looking and deformed? -Who is Kate Barlow anyway? - The final chapter was very rushed. No detail goes into if there really was a demon somewhere in the city, or why it was abandoned. Not to mention the end was just like the last game. Except with no final boss. [/spoiler] -There were no bonuses after completing the game, such as costumes and cheat codes. I'm sorry, but I was not as happy with this game as I should have been. It seems like the devs rushed it a bit.

I've yet to play it so I cannot say but I can put some logic into things I believe most cows deep down knew it was a bad game which is why they reacted so badly when gears 3 was scored higher....they knew deep down in their hearts it wasn't that good of a game so they reacted so strongly as though it was a flop and reacted so strongly when lemmings called it flop...when infact lemmings were the least represented in the hype thread.

So glad it lost to gears, gears 3 was so much better
