I thought Uncharted was Awful

[QUOTE="TheDrunkenLord"]

how anyone can call Uncharted awful or terrible is beyond me. charizard1605

I realize it's an opinion. but if we all went around just accepting each other's opinions this would be a very dull forum. fact is, Uncharted is not an awful game. Superman 64 is an awful game. ET is an awful game. To put UC in the same bracket is just an insult to the efforts of Naughty Dog. Sorry to offend the Opinion Police, but it's true.

Uncharted 1&2 are far from awful games...but at the same time...I wasnt blown away by them either.

I prefer the Ps1 Tomb Raider games when I want my Indiana Jones type Fix.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Because it's his opinion. Might not match yours, but sadly, that's how it is. Deal with it.

that's fair. admittedly I'm a cheerleader for the Uncharted games. of course it comes down to tastes in the end. I'm not a big fan of MGS4, but I could never call it a terrible game. It's the same deal with UC for me.

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.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="walkingdream"] Disagree the first one seemed un finished and boring IMO. Gamespot only gave it a 7.5 while U2 got a 9.5 big difference. walkingdream

Uncharted 1 is VERY Different from Uncharted 2.

Go play that one if you hated Uncharted 1.

Uncharted 2 is leaps and bounds ahead of Uncharted 1. Try U2.

Ever since I played UC2, I didn't bother with the original anymore, I almost forgot that I had it too.:P

I also didn't enjoy Uncharted 1 as much as I thought I would but believe me, you should still give Uncharted 2 a try. I gaurantee you that it is 10x better.

I personally found UC1 better, but a lot of people like UC2 better, so maybe you should just rent it and try it.

people like the first uncharted for a few reasons:

the graphics - some would say the best looking shooter on consoles until gears 2the color - different from a lot of the other shooters coming out in 2007/2008 in that it actually had colorpersonality - 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

it wasn,t bad but it wasn't great either, just average, uncharted 2 on the other end is one of the best game i ever played in mylife

You mean you can't love a game if it takes what others have done well and rolls it into a nice package? That's just ignorance. I love it and have games for the since the PS1 days, and have played games going back well before.

The first was underrated if anything, the second got the praise it deserved.

sorry, I just really wanted to post this...

You're using the word Ignorance wrong, just like a lot of the ignorant people on the internet. I disagree that Uncharted rolled it into a nice package - the older games definitely did what Uncharted tries to do better. Now if you played older games, I wonder if you've played the right older games...Q_Sensei

How is the word ignorant being used incorrectly? Ignorance can mean lacking awareness, knowledge or education. You're basically saying that if people love Uncharted, you wonder if they even played before this generation. That's showing a lack of understanding that people will prefer, play and enjoy what they want.

I'm not trying to dissuade the fact that games didn't do it better, and whilst Uncharted has its flaws, it took mechanics and made them into an enjoyable and fun game.

How about you stop wondering things? Peopleare gonna have different opinions from yourself, what people enjoy isn't easily quantifiable.

[QUOTE="Espada12"]

I agree with you TC, however I still went ahead and bought UC 2. It's better but still AA quality imo.

Midnightshade29

Wow its an opinion not a complicated concept...seriously do we need to explain to you what an opinion is? UC2 is a great game imo, but a lot of the reason for such high reviews was the impressive graphics without them you would be looking at a game with an average score in the 84-91 area rather than the 90-96 area.

Misunderstanding and wonder is not quantified by the word "ignorant". Ignorance denotes a lack of knowledge, particularly regarding education. You're using it to describe feelings that someone cannot learn or gain a knowledge of. You said so yourself - What people enjoy isn't easily quantifiable.Q_Sensei

I'm not getting into a debate over the use of a word here.

:lol: I don't think that image in the right will get old at all.

am I the only one on earth that actually enjoyed uc1 more than uc2?

You think i'm using it wrong, I think i'm using it in the correct context. I think we should just leave it alone, as this isn't the place for such discussions.

Uncharted 1 sucked if you ask me. Uncharted 2 is amazing though. Better in every way. Ninja-Hippo

am I the only one on earth that actually enjoyed uc1 more than uc2?

edo-tensei

Yeah, I enjoyed UC a bit more than UC2. The ice stages just didn't feel that atmospheric to me, and the transitions between areas were a bit too fast and too drastic at points.

thats really too bad because you are missing out on a great game.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] I don't think it sucked, I thought it was a good but unremarkable game. But I can see what ninjahippo means: it had quite a few rough edges, and the gameplay never really did draw me in.charizard1605

And that's all there is to say about it. It's not that it's a bad game. Reviewers never pointed out any major flaw to it other that the lack of miltiplayer(which shouldn't really be that much of a consideration). The problem as you said was because it came after a drought and hype was high. It's the sw effect. Same thing is happening to splinter cell conviction and alan wake, it's not that they're bad games it's just people's rediculous expectations.

To me this game was there in originality, gameplay, graphics, sound, animations, presentation, length(for the type of game it is),characte, and charisma. What more do people want for a game not to suck?

I also quoted him especifically becausehe overhypes games like lost oddyssey and crackdown which both scored lower than uc1 and now proceeds to say it sucks, makes no sense to me.

I thought Uncharted 1 was only decent also... didn't really want to finish it. But Uncharted 2 was fantastic. I'd give it a 9 for sure.DragonfireXZ95

I couldn't get into the game.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="edo-tensei"] it did for me, again, how does it suck?edo-tensei
