How disappointing was Uncharted 3 for you?

go near the line of sight of either guys, do a punch in the air, and that guy will investigate. once the guy is isolated, take him down. then take dow the guy that was left behind guarding.

i even stealth'd mostly on the shipyard level. all of these i did on Hard. and i think there's actually more enemies on screen when on Hard mode.

AmayaPapaya

Really that's so lame -_-

That doesn't really help the argument that Uncharted 3 has good stealth. Seriously, I killed both of them in the time it takes to shoot two bullets with the stealth pistol. There should have been no being caught.

i just told you a way to complete the airport with stealth, and now you're complaining again? first, you complained about not completing it on stealth, i told you a way to complete it through stealth. now you're complaining it's lame?

wow, just kill me now. people really like to complain non-stop, i suppose. the stealth is better than UC2. you feel like Solid Snake in UC2 that's because they programmed the AI to be so dumb that their backs are turned towards you the whole time and they won't react to a single noise even if a guard is being choked 5 feet away from them. that's not good stealth, that's dumb stealth.

I'm sorry, I just expected a real solution. Not tricking the game.

it is a real solution. the guards will investigate if they hear a noise. stop crying like someone killed a family pet. it is a legit way to stealth through the airport scene.

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.

i thought it started out a bit slow(except the part where you play as drake as a kid, thought that was cool) but im on chapter 19 i think, where you find the settlement in the desert. i think its pretty good, not better than the second but def better than the first. once chapter 10 comes around everything picks up and it gets pretty funTH1Sx1SxSPARTA

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.

JangoWuzHere

plotholes? more like unanswered questions. tell me a "plothole" in Uncharted 3. and yes, the creative director already said she wanted to make a story that's open for interpretation. kinda like how Talbot managed to do some unnatural things. that's the image of their secret society, one of mystery and secrecy. i don't want Uncharted to just lay it all out saying "well, they're actually using high-tech gadgets" because that would be uber lame.

The ending was abrupt and didn't explain everything, but it's a minor flaw. Everything else was outstanding.

I haven't played it yet. But I hope it doesn't disappoint me.

jimkabrhel

yes, because everything has to be spoonfed to us by the devs. must be in-your-face, 5-paragraph tablet stories. it's the pulp action adventure genre. some mysterious things will always remain mysterious.

I love how some people are so defensive about the fact that not everybody thought UC3 was perfect.

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

Also can some explain to me. On the boat they said "move the prisoners to the blah blah blah" and he boarded the ship to save people but drake never finds anyone and kills everyone on board and the ship sinks and he washes ashore. I mean, what the hell? why was he even on the damn boat in the first place then?

Amy henning even admits in the behind the scenes that the game was written around setpieces, The had those in place and then she wrote the story around that. This is a horrible way to design a game and its clearly obvious in U3 when you play it

rumbalumba

he boarded the ship to save Sully, not to save "people". also, what prisoners are you talking about? there was no mention of prisoners whatsoever.

instead of ribbing the story, next time pay attention to the cutscenes.

over the PA he says "take the prisoners" somehwere I can't remember like the holding cells or some ****

there are some things that annoyed me quite a bit , but nothing groundbreaking as people make it out to be. not even disappointed, and i think this is better than UC2. people complain there's not much character development, i mean they give you a history of how Drake and Sully met, revealed that Drake is not really Francis Drake's descendant, not only that, but they gave you info on Drake's real parents. in UC2, did youreally get to know Drake and Sully any better than UC1? NO. peopel complain that Marlowe is not well-developed at all, which i agree to a certain extent that they could've used Marlowe more, but the image of their secret society is of trickery, secrecy and mystery in the first place. Lazarevic does not even have any personality whatsoever, he's like "im a bad guy i have an army and i wanna conquer ze world" that's it a very 2-dimensional character. Marlowe is supposed to be a mystery. would anyone actually care what their secret society is, how it's formed, what is its purpose? come on. it's a secret society intent on gaining power, just like any other evil organization on any action-adventure movie. were you expecting a Star Wars from Anakin to Darth Vader building The Empire?

I don't need to play the game. Enough people have complained about these things and problems with aiming, pacing and polish are not really nitpicks in most contexts. Its pretty obvious to me that you're just being defensive, which is pretty typical on SW.

How did I make "I don't think so" seem like a concrete rebuttal? I simply said "I don't think so." :lol:

seanmcloughlin

yeah they did those things to add to the mystery of the villains. that's what they intended to do, not give you a spoonfed story.

and yes, they answered those questions because people like you are not satisfied and want every answer to every question there is, because you think it's not fit for Uncharted even though the writers of the game seem to think otherwise.

so, you got your answers: the bulletproof vest and escape line. are you happy now? was it really much better if Talbot opened his coat to reveal a bulletproof vest, or if the camera panned to show his escaping through an escape line when Drake followed him? come on. he just disappeared, he just survived. must it be spoonfed?

why didn't anyone question Drake and Sully when they got shot at and survived, even with blood effects? but when Talbot gets shot and survives, suddenly it's a plothole. brilliant. :roll:

i, for one, am happy that the writer kept the mystery of the secret society the way it is. maybe they had powers, maybe they didn't. at the end of the day, it did not matter at all. i mean, if they did have magic, why would they even use guns and hire henchmen? come on.

yes, they were using hallucinogenic agents to control people. it was stated in the story, heck it was even so obvious when Talbot drugged Charlie, and when Marlowe said that Nate told them that Sully knows everything because Nate was drugged.

If the 360 can upscale Gears 3 to 1080p so easily, then why can't the PS3 do the same for Uncharted 3?

I thought the end was very anti-climactic. For example, [spoiler] Drake just shoots the crane bringing up this lost treasure and that's it, the entire city goes down and we're done. In the second game (or maybe it was the first), the treasure is opened and this virus is unleashed. I was happy that they played off the Ghost Rider enemies as part of the hallucinogenic experience because I've always thought this paranormal stuff didn't belong in the games. It takes away from the realism. [/spoiler]

I also disliked the AI, I always have in these games. The AI just bum rushes you without a care in the world. They utilize explosives way too much, and when those brawlers fist fight you with 6 other enemies shooting you, it becomes bs. The absolute worst part is the uselessness of your partners. I have seen too many times enemies be literally TOUCHING my partner and my partner will choose to fire at someone else instead of the guy nearest him and most capable of swapping spit with him. It is incredibly irritating.

Your partners are pretty useless. I never count on them for anything, so I'm not much fussed. I would like them to be useful for something other than standing on platforms or turning cranks.

***SPOILERS***

They said "move the prisoner" which was Sully. Drake thought the Pirate had Sully but as it turns out the guy was just trying to give Nate extra insentive to tell him where the lost city was. They had a general idea but in a desert 600 miles wide... they could use more than just "it's in that general area"

Did you play the game? it was pretty clear. You must have been too busy talking **** about the game in the back of your mind to notice.

Yes, I know. Uncharted 3 should have been delayed anyway.

I'm disappointed in the fact it's not that great of a game. The characters are far less memorable in this than they were in Uncharted 2, there was quite a bit of level design that felt boring, the A.I. on both sides were poor, and there's a few, very noticable, bugs/glitches. The story itself also fail to be interesting after about two-three hours of the game. I still think it's worthy of a 9.0 score, but all the reviewers who are giving this game 100% were very clearly caught up in the hype. There are way too many problems with the game that can even possibly merit it a 100%, and it's not even as good as Uncharted 2.

I've played little of the multiplayer but it's not very fun IMO. I quite enjoyed the second game's.
