How disappointing was Uncharted 3 for you?

[QUOTE="rumbalumba"]

better than UC2. people here probably hyped UC3 through the roof. UC2 was great, but UC3 is just better. could not believe how peopel think UC2 is better than this. cliched villain, stupid puzzles, ot enough platforming/traversal sections. UC3 did all those better than UC2.

I'd rather have a well developed cliche awesome villain, not a unique generic under developed villain.

I'd rather have stupid easy puzzles that don't break up the pace rather then very long boring puzzles

I'd rather have unique platforming sections that are exciting and really show off the environment rather then platforming sections that are just there for the hell of it.

yeah, a villain just like any other game out there. nate=good guy zoran=bad guy that's the end of it. oh wow what a boring villain. awesome? not even close. he's like "alright, imma badass. i kill you, you can't kill me. i use my minion soldiers to do things for me and if they cant' i kill them. i want to dominate ze world only!"

lol very long boring puzzles? you must suck at this game. the puzzles are there to slow down the pace, genius. and the puzzle in UC2 are what, look at journal and just copy the instructions? it makes the players feel like dumb chickens. it's for 3rd graders.

yeah, because platformnig in UC3 do not show off the environment. rrriiiight..:roll: don't make it seem like platforming in UC3 is worse than UC2. it's much mroe exciting, and the platforms are much more dynamic. good luck climbing the same ice/snow cliff you've been climbing on for the past 2 chapters. not exciting at all.

These are the forums of Gamespot, not the forums of metacritic. 9.5>9.0. End of story. :cool:

UC3 was everything i expected and more and I'm on my Crushing playthrough now.

Uncharted and disappointing together? really? what am i missing here?

Uncharted 3 simply is the best game of this year, best story out of any game, boestonline, best co op modes, and list goes on. sad to know u didnt, better luck next time

finalstar2007

Bolded for the lolz.

Having low standards is nice for some, but you made me laugh so well done :P

The opening chapters were the best part...D:Lethalhazard

shipyard to boats to cruiseship to titanic was the best.

It's a rental-quality game.

$60 is never worth it for an 8 hour game, but luckily redbox has this game already, so it only cost me $2

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

It isn't disappointed for me. I love the multiplayer (competitive and co-op) and I'm currently progressing through the singleplayer (which is extremely good). I'm just taking my time, and thoroughly enjoying what very well could be my favorite game this generation.

They set up the story, but that doesn't make them fun to play. Running around as teen drake wasn't fun on my first playthrough, and its more so on my second play through.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] People crack me up. The opening chapters set up the game for everything else that happened. People want action action action from the get go? It gets boring and repetitive that way...

I guess by definition it was. The story did have some annoying plot holes, they could have tansitioned levels better, I wish it was more polished, and the pacing felt off, especially in the beggining. I still had a lot fun with it.

I feel like Uncharted 2 was better, but that's a hard thing to say. In my second playthrough, the pacing issues felt like less of a problem, mostly because the puzzles didn't drag on. I kinda wish it was more fun in the beggining. I hate to say it was too slow, but it was. The game really picked up after chapter 10...before that though, it could have been better.

[QUOTE="soapandbubbles"][QUOTE="ZoomZoom2490"] you cant believe thatthese people played uc3, they read some comments from some lowest review site and then they come in here claiming how dissapointing uc3 was, lol.

The campaign was somewhat disappointing. It didn't blend naturally the transition from climax to climax, seemed a bit ADD at times. But more importantly was the lack of urgency or importance of my actions to overarching plot. It just felt like a Sully+Drake joyride where you knew they would bust the baddies but I had hoped we would have been able to spend more time in the final levels and actually be presented with a gameplay challenge.

***Spoiler Alert***

I never felt like Marlowe did much of anything in the game. I didn't hate her and was disappointed she wasn't given more of a role as the lead antagonist, plus they just wrote her out at the end when she gets swallowed up in the quicksand. Talbot sort of assumed the role of main villain (I did want to rip the nards off that SOB) but his demise was basically a quick-time boss fight at the end which left me disgruntled.

***End Spoiler***

All in all, I enjoyed UC3's campaign but it definitely could have done more. And WTF was Marlowe talking about when Cutter jumped off the tower and she said, "As if it were in the cards all along" and he had The Tower tarot card in his jacket? Where in the hell did that tie-in to the plot? Seemed like ND put it in but had to cut out its role in the story because they didn't have enough time or resources to pan it out.

All in all, 9/10. It was visually stunning and some of the encounters and battle sequences were definitely top-notch. The highlight of the game for was without a doubt the boat graveyard and cruise ship sequence. Visually it was unreal.

Redbox is a godsend for games like this.

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="Chutebox"] Well I disagree. I thought it was something different than you're used to in an Uncharted game and it gave you back story the Drake as well as setting everything else up. Different strokes...Chutebox

the stuff you mentioned is something you get from review sources that flopped uc3

post a pic that you own uc3 and ps3 and i will believe you, you have an hour to do so.

ZoomZoom2490

I'm half way through and think the pacing is great. Love this game. Didnt' follow the hype just like I'm not following it for Skyrim or Skyward Sword.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"]

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

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.

KevinButlerVP

Get real dude, a bad game? It has a better MC level than Gears 3. I guess Gears is HORRIBLE!

ZoomZoom2490

i think you may be taking your campaign of attempting to put the ps3 in a better light on the internet a little too seriously. :)

i will admit that the multiplayer on U3 is unbalanced garbage but the SP and the CO-OP are the best around, period

No fun cheats like 2 had

aiming is really bad

even shorter than 2

its so easy, i was playing on very hard and just running around punching people like Goku

HaloinventedFPS

Well. Not really that disappointed. Game is definitely one of the best from this year. Anyone expecting the second coming will be disappointed but overall, I am very much fond of the game.

Also, I don't agree with the first 2 points, at all. Maybe that's just me though. :D

I think what has really been disappointing is that there is a lack of polish compared to the second game. Yeah, it's still great and all, but I am telling you, give this another couple of months and it would be a 10/10 for me. But for now, due to the occasional hiccups, 9-9.5 seems fair. That's without even touching the MP yet :P

how was u3 opening any different to u2 in terms of combat/pacing. Both starting out similarly campzor

I red box'd it too, beat it in 7 hours (single day). Can't believe that game is 60$ O-o. Wasn't as good as UC2 (which I bought for 60$) so....I see no real reason to go to it. UC2 has better MP too D:. It's mostly the gameplay that feels off, the pacing wasn't bad. And I liked that it was more of an interactive movie (loved MGSIV also). Some HARDCORE GAYMERZ aren't going to like the pacing, I can definitely sense that.

I'd say it's in the lower AA range of games.....not really high AAA like UC2 was. So I find it funny UC3 has a 93 on MC, I think if it immediately followed UC1 it wouldn't be praised as much. Hype for the win...

Uncharted 3 is a great game.. It's not an amazing game by any means, but it's still a great game. It had unfathomable hype to live up to and in my opinion it met it but the game falls short on a few key points .....

Biggest Problems;

The ending. Seriously, way too leave me with more questions then I started with.

Too short. Anyone else feel like it wasn't as long as Uncharted 2?

Environments weren't polished. I cannot tell you how many times I tried jumping, climbing, or going to an edge that simply didn't exist.

Nathan's movements seem extremely sloppy. Sluggish animations at times, lack-luster cover system, Nathan will "touch" a wall and do a complete 180.

To a much lesser extent; It's not done in 1080p. Seriously, even Gears of War 2 (yes, TWO) was done in 1080p.

Competitive Multiplayer still sucks...

Other than that? Yeah, great game, it's not GOTY by any means but it's definitely the best game that the PS3 has offered us this year. It's definitely worth every bit of the 9 it was given on this website.

Oh yes. It's a great game and it is worthy of being the numeric sequel to Uncharted 2! The game just falls short on a few key points that keep it from being better than Uncharted 2! But anyone going into Uncharted 3 thinking it would top Uncharted 2 went into 3 for all the wrong reasons and were just asking to be disappointed. You don't go into the sequel to one of the greatest games published this gen. and not be disappointed.
