So I'm a PS3 owner. I love my PS3. Bought it for MGS4 and think Demon's Souls is the best game this gen. Tried Uncharted 1 recently. What an awful awful game. I got to about chapter 8 when I had enough. Horrible gunfights with clunky platforming in between... Why was this game ever popular? Was the PS3 so starved for games when this came out that people thought it was good? I have a friend who keeps bugging me to get Uncharted 2 to play online, but I found Uncharted 1 so overwhelmingly unimpressive I can't imagine Uncharted 2 actually being good...

Ok. This is your opinion on the game, so there really isn't much to discuss.

i can almost understand the TC point.. uncharted 1 really went down hill towards the end.. it was still a fun game but it coulda been a little bit better.. good thing all of that is fixed in uncharted 2. so to the TC, finish uncharted1 ...and then play the awesomeness that is uncharted 2

That's the fun thing about opinions. I liked Uncharted a lot more than Demon's Souls.

You should still try Uncharted 2.

They fixed and improved allot from the original. And added a fun multiplayer/co-op

I skipped the 1st, but loved the 2nd

Trust me, just finish Uncharted 1, and try not to red any spoilers about the game.

If you really want to just try Uncharted 2, you don't have to really play UC1 to keep up with what's happening. It's basically a story of itself with the same characters.

I actually liked the first Uncharted over Uncharted 2. Liked the setting, felt less linear than the second. The gameplay is not the best but it's good and fun. The graphics are of course great.

Well, I can understand why you would hate it, but I liked it even though PS3 fans overrate it though.

Some say it deserves a 9.0, it's still an 8.0 to me.

Hey, how about you stop looking for ulterior motives in people's posts for once? They might just have an opinion, you know. Just because you, and '300+ reviewers' agree with you, doesn't mean he has to too. He doesn't like it, can't you leave it at that? Or do you LIKE derailing each thread so that it degenrates into a mindless fanboy war?

Yep, IMO Uncharted 2 destroys Uncharted 1 in every way from length, controls, graphics, replay value, etc.

I liked it more than Metal Gear Solid 4, but that's a different discussion.:P

Uncharted 1 isn't awful, but it's pretty dull. Uncharted 2 is actually awesome. The gunplay is more satisfying, the shootouts are far more intense, and the pacing was on point. The multiplayer is solid as well. I've enjoyed it for what it is.

[QUOTE="Q_Sensei"] Why was this game ever popular?

Why do so many people ask this question when they don't like a popular game? So people like something you don't, get used to it. It's going to happen all the time.

I actually had a conversation about the ending with someone in another forum... I said "I better not end up fighting zombies or something like they did in Tomb Raider, otherwise any respect at all I had for the game will have completely diminished." Sorry bud, but I've apparently spoiled it for myself.

I blame the sometimes(read it fanboys) troublesome cover system, some boring ass and drawn out firefights, god awful grenade throwing with six axis, easy puzzles, etc.

How do people NOT see these flaws?

I for one thought Uncharted 2 was extremely overrated.I never even finished the campaign because it was so boring.The only thing worth it is the co-op multi-player,and even that gets old.It's a decent game,but no where near as good as all the praise it's gotten.Guess it's just not for me,seemed too cartoony for some reason.

clunky platforming? I find that weird cause I thought that was the best part of the game. Sure the gun fights were a bit normal but the awful, and it was always your fault for messing up in the game(unless you count the sixaxis grenade throwing) At least they were challenging. Ironically enough Uc2 is so popular because its gameplay was near perfect along with its pacing, and narrative.

I agree, I beat the first game and thought that it was horrible. I did not care for the sequal. When it got such a high score, i thought, what the hell, so I tried the demo. It was the same crap. I did not try the full game.

Loved them both. The gunfights and waves of enemies got really repetitive and stale but the rest of the game more than makes up for it.

I liked the first uncharted and while playing the game I think most people kept in mind that this wasnt just a new game but the start of a new franchise. So yeah the ending was blah and some of the gun fights got repetitve but the characters were likeable and you could see the game had a lot of room for improvement. Now the question is can they top UC2 as much as they did with UC1.

people like the first uncharted for a few reasons:

  • the graphics - some would say the best looking shooter on consoles until gears 2
  • the color - different from a lot of the other shooters coming out in 2007/2008 in that it actually had color
  • personality - it was pretty much the only shooter on the ps3 with personality, even if it was sort of a rip-off of tomb raider and indiana jones - that was still more original than if it had been another post-apocalyptic shooter

i actually bought the game day 1 back in 2007, but honestly only played it a couple times before i went back to COD4, Uncharted 2 is pretty much improved on the first one in every way although if you didn't like the concept of the story from the first game you probably won't like the concept for the story in the second game

Demon Souls was unrefined, uninspired, poor production values and was incredible overated in the difficulty department. Uncharted 2 was the opposite, Uncharted 1 not so much...

how anyone can call Uncharted awful or terrible is beyond me. Yes the sequel is the better in pretty much every respect, but the first is still an incredibly well-made game. Both are essentials of this gen, and I think the second one's a lot more enjoyable if you've played the original.

because it's repetitive linear garbage with poor controls, enemies that are bullet sponges and charcters that make the heavy rain uncanny valley chick look realistic
