*raises hand*
It is nice and flashy but I just feel the gameplay is pretty bad....
This reminds me of the really bad summer blockbuster movies where they show tons of explosions and crap and people go "OMG BEST MOVIE EVER" while I am left completely unimpressed....
Edit: Felt the need to re-word some of it.

What bad gameplay? Have you ever played any Uncharted game? Have you even seen any of the gameplay preview of Uncharted 3? Every preview has been like: "best Uncharted yet". I mean, Uncharted 2 is one of the highest rated game of this gen for a reason...
It is the more I see of the gameplay that I get more and more unimpressed actually...
I mean, the gunplay is flatout BAD from what I have seen, and good God that multi-player looks so incredibly braindead...
Honestly, I can't believe these games get away with such bad gameplay...
I am sorry, but these games really strike as like the Michael Bay of video games. It's "OMG LOOK AT THOSE GRAPHICS! I MEAN CHECK OUT DEM SPLOSIONS!!!".
All flash and no substance I feel.
And God who cares about reviews seriously? I might use reviews to help me decide wht to do when I am really on the fence about a game, but beyond that reviews can be really stupid. I care about how I experience the game, not what some other person felt about the game.
I will remember, however, to shove any prospective disappointing scores in the hype wagons face should they occur. :P
But what part of this: http://youtu.be/u3P9Y-at_JI?hd=1 looks like bad gameplay?!!! If your problem is that it looks too easy that's because demos are often played in easy mode. But Uncharted games have always have a difficulty called "crushing mode" were they remove the aim assist and you die after 3-4 shots so you're forced to use more cover and play smarter.
And I'm talking to you from personal experience. People often say that Uncharted is too linear, is too easy, the platforming is pointless, etc. But if they only took the time to actually play the game and understand why it is the way it is they would understand why this franchise is so good. First, the platforming opens up the doors to verticality and more variety. You can shoot enemies while hanging onto an edge, jump on them and ND can take the liberty to create less boring environment and connect the different areas in more creative ways since you can jump. Second, the game is linear but that doesn't mean easy or boring, just that it is more focused. That a game is open ended like Fallout or Farcry doesn't automatically makes it more fun, in fact quite the contrary. Just think about 2D games but with more freedom... But what really makes Uncharted's gameplay so great is that the most epic moments in the game are totally seamless. You're always in control of Drake until the very end, until the narration starts. Just watch the link that I posted and you'll understand.
And on top of this, Uncharted story is cliched but it is on purpose, the game doesn't ever tries to be pretentious like FFXIII or the new DMC reboot. Uncharted strong points are the story-telling and characters and let me get this straight. On that regard Uncharted is the best of this generation and that is a FACT. Anybody that tries to debate this is either a fanboy or have no idea what is he talking about. Just like that.
And here I'm not talking about scores, I'm talking about Uncharted pushing the envelope of game development.
