-Cliched storyline, predictable, one-dimensional characters, and a plot that completely rips off the Indiana Jones movies (I mean, the goddamn storyline for UC1 and UC2 are basically the same--you're hunting for some ancient artifact parallel to some other evil dude, the ancient artifact has some evil magical power that transforms others who use it into monsters, and the evil dude eventually captures you and takes the artifact for himself--plot idea brought to you by Raiders of the Lost Ark) -Poor shooting mechanics and a clunky cover system -Platforming segments are too sparse, far too guided, and almost impossible to screw up -Pacing always peters out near the end of the games, with the formula looking something like "shoot enemies of bad guys in a room" and then "do some platforming segment or obvious puzzle" -Linear, scripted level design and setpieces are the only real highlights of the game. The train level in UC2 is really just an on-rails segment, and while it does look good, it's nothing technically amazing--the game relies on smoke and mirror techniques like this to excuse the poor base gameplay.

Mario and Link say "Hi".

As for acclaim: the Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, and Samus say "Hi", too.

No.

Uncharted is a series that does absolutely nothing new and has to steal ideas from other companies to be good. There is nothing "greatest" about it in the slightest.

crippled_ram
So there are other game series that tell stories as well as Uncharted does?

Hell yes. The story in the Uncharted games are pure ripoffs of the Indiana Jones movies, mostly Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Excellent points. But you're putting too much effort into this. It's not like you're going to convince him. Obvious troll is obvious.

Edit: Also, why did gamespot mash your whole post into a brick when I quoted it? Didn't do that to the guy right above me who quoted you.

You totally mispelled "Mass Effect" ;)

Stringerboy

Mass Effect wasn't even good until the second game, so no.

That's funny because that's where the series started going downhill.

I know it's all opinion, but I will never understand why so many people think ME2 was a step down from the first. It's not like the RPG elements in 1 that were removed were interesting, or gave the game depth/challenge or anything. They were just tedious and time consuming.

The Mako missions were fun, better then planet scanning at least, and loot is always fun in an RPG, imo.

yea, i liked how they got rid of all the crap in ME2. i hated having to change all the equipment for teammates and all that. ME3 was even better because it was a nice mix of the great things from ME1 and 2

This is almost as bad as that one guy who claimed that the xbox360 is better than the ps2 because the xbox is selling better than the ps3.

Uncharted 2 and 3 were 2 of the best games I have played this gen but saying they are the greatest games of all time is a very broad statement.

So there are other game series that tell stories as well as Uncharted does?

Yes.......Did you start gaming this gen or something?

The PS2 is probably older than he is.

Uncharted is up there, no doubt.

One of the Best New IP's of this Generation. Like Gears, Batman, Assassins Creed....

Lemming and sheep are suddenly jealous because they dont have Uncharted games.

Maybe it's the recent release of Uncharted DLC that caused this?

Not a chance, which is the best of anyhting is always just peoples opinions, some people love ferraris' i would rather drive a ford escort Mk2 Rs500, you think uncharted is the greatest series of all time, good for you, fortunately i have obviously been gaming a lot longer and for me the greates game series of all time is the elder scrolls, which stands to reason as my favorite genre is WRPG's.

The original Uncharted was barely above average and Uncharted 2 was trying it's damndest to be Call of Duty with all it's scriptedness and constant explosion. They're not bad games but they're no where close to being "the best game series ever". Not even remotely.

I would argue that COD and Gears of War has done more to define this generation of games, for better or worse.

All I see are a bunch of opinions. If you think it's the greatest, good for you, but don't act like it's a fact.

Uncharted didn't even make it out of round 16 in G4TV's franchise deathmatch, which was far from perfect, but for now, it's probably the closest thing to a proper indicator of what the current overall playerbase thinks about games / franchises - it was quite big event with a lot of hype from G4 and attention from developers (who were posting stuff like "our franchise made it to round "..." pls continue voting^^" on their facebook pages), fanbases, youtubers, some media and other people who care about stuff like that and have too much free time on their hands, so the sample was exeptionally big and one of the better and more representative ones.

And now I am not saying that majority can't be wrong, but the supposedly greatest series should IMO definitely have more dedicated fans, who care, represent and promote their favourite games in events like that one...

One awesome game and 2 great games do not qualify for greatest series of all time. Mario pees all over it.
