I think you have lost sight on perspective. Look at the way the guy moves, talks, runs, and jumps it is all aimed at realism. How realistic would it be for an average everyday guy to shoot as well as a soldier in the Iraq conflict, or aim like some meat-head killing machine in Gears of War? He shoots clumsy, runs clumsy, and jumps clumsy because he is your clumsy everyday guy not some genetic freak of nature. Trying to compare realism in a game like this to other shooters is like comparing realism with a game like NBA jam and NBA NK8, they are both created for 2 entirely different approaches for gameplay. I for one welcome the realstic approach for once, and highly enjoyed the demo. Maybe you can try to enjoy the game for what it is, not for what it's not.nowhatisthat

So a storied and rugged adventure craviing man, who may or may not have fought his way out of such situations before, and has the confidence of an ox, can't aim a gun properly.

I highly doubt that making the aiming difficult was by design

I was really looking forward to this game. I wanted a Tomb Raider like adventure, and the graphics looked incredible. I remember reading the Game Informer cover story and thinking how great the game looked. When I heard there would be a demo of the game I was estatic, I was really looking forward to the game because not only did it show off the ps3's great graphic power, but I thought it could be a truely unique game.

Guess not.

First off, what is up with this not so over the shoulder, more or less looking at your shoulder view? It's not natural, it feels wonky, it just doesn't seem right. Not to mention that the aiming is jerky, and not all that precise.Its as precise as the person controling it (no auto aim)Played COD4 recently? Why can't it aim like that, you know, crisp.What does this have to do with an action adventure game? Hmm an Explore vs a Marine, I wonder who should be the better shooter.

The six axis elements are poorly implemented and frustrate more than they add to the game play. The camera is problematic at times, which while it may give you a great view of some terrific plants and trees, it doesnt help when you are tring to figure out where to go.Way to give yourself away, so you played the demo 5 times yet never figured out you can manually move the camera around?

Enemy AI is stupid, I watched as enemies shot into walls while I casually shot at them, killing them with ease. At the point after you jump off the cliff, with ancient ruins around, I ran into the middle of the map, in between the 3-4 enemies "patrolling," stod there un-noticed for 5 seconds, before the enemies decided to clumsily run for cover and shoot into the walls, not at me. Wow this is whole paragraph is full of BS, enemies try to flank you they spot you imediately, there constantly firing and weaving from bullets, Enemies arnt easy at all, Ive died plenty of times during the demo....

The melee attacks were cool but felt useless because you never really needed to close the gap and punch your enemies. They come in handy when you run out of bullets which you can do fairly quickly, I know its happen before..Explosions from barrels look god awful, instead of a realistic explosion, you get a big orange puff that is supposed to be an explosion.

The good though is the game looks simply amazing. The graphics are crisp, and even when you swim in the water, your shirt becomes noticable damp. Very impressive. Too bad the gameplay isnt.

Barely AA.

You do realise that when you aim, your gun is pointing to the dot, not at the enemies, so it looks very ackward. Go play GeOW and youll see how over the shoulder aim should be. The game just isn't that great and you just don't want to accept somebody found glaring flaws.rocktimusprime

Hahaha! Just how the hell is that a glaring flaw? Who cares about irrelevant stuff like that? I didn't even notice.

nearly everybody loved the demo, ur the only guy iv seen hate it. maybe its simply a game you don't like, there no need to try and shoot it down because its not in your taste

Loved Tomb Raider, loved GeOW. Combine the two should be heaven. Its a shame my most anticipated PS3 title is not living up to the standards cows this board said it would be. I seriously implore you not to hype AAA (you wont anyway, so you wont get ownzrored!!!) because this game is just another Graphics are better than Gamplay romp

nothing much i can say. just a lot of people say it great.

your sounding very lemming btw lol

Its rocktimusprime, he is a lemming.

that owns a ps3 but god forbid he be allowed to have opinions on the games, especially one of his favorites from this year like Motorstorm.

but of course then again your opinion is null because your a cow and we are talking about a ps3 game here so you wouldn't dare say it sucks.....

oh btw join the SW clan for warhawk.

How can I reply to that when your whole reply was based off of assumptions. I bet you may or may not respond to me because you seem like you may or may not be afraid of being wrong... And I highly doubt you know whether it was their attention or not. But you know they've spent a lot of time on this game and have obviously tried to create as realistic as a gaming experience as they possibly could; so even if it wasn't by design the aiming fits perfectly with the gameplay that they have implemented for Drake in Uncharted.

No because I read who wrote it and decided it was garbage HAHAHAHAHHAHA. your funny.

So in a game where shooting is the main mean of action, the games clunky aiming system is an element of game design. Infact, it is so much a game design, developers wanted to frustrate you because they know that the main character is not a military trained personal, so therefore players should not be allowed to have a crisp, responsive aiming system. Therefore in a game like COD4 where shooting is also the main means of combat, it was made better and crisp just because your a marine? Whatever.

So i have to basically adjust the camera when the auto camera doesn't quite work the way it is supposed to. Ill give you that, but other games have this same element and its not really a problem.

Your right, enemies DID try to flank me. They moved to cover, and then they shot into the wall. This was on hard difficulty too. Infact the enemies arent easy at all, because they stand in the same place, never move to better cover and love being bullet magnets.

And basically Melee attacks are good for when you run out of ammo......when did you do this, cause i sure never did.

sorry you can't accept that another fellow PS3 owner doesnt like the demo that Sony touted out to show how amazing the ps3 was.

That is not an assumption. That is exactly the direction Naughty Dog was going with this game. If what you say is true and you do have a ps3 I would advise you download some Uncharted Videos, they explain this many times.

Well I have to say this is the first demo that I have palyed that actually made me want to go out and buy the game. I was having my doubts about this game but after playing the demo this game just became a day one purchase for me. AI was amazing, graphics top notch, and gameplay all there. Sounds to me like your just nitpicking. It's like you were trying to find something wrong with the game.

You see, this is why SW is completely ridiculous, you try and post an opinion, and all of the fanboys come in and cry about your opinion. COMPLETELY ridiculous.

He brought up valid arguments, the least you could do is read his post.

1. adjust the sensitivity. I felt a little akward with the aiming forminute, but it was perfect after I increased the sensitivity

2. the enemies are not dumb at all. they are agressive. at several points, one enemy in front would get my attention, while two of his buddies flanked me on either side. they were actively trying to kill me, and the entire firefight was filled with a sense of urgency and danger, especially on Hard. Sometimes, they would do unexpected maneuvers like running and then sliding into position behind cover. they really do try to dodge my shots. say what you will about the silly appearance of their "side step", but that makes them hard to hit, and thus headshots are very important.

overall, it is a very polished demo, and honestly, I was surprised at how it played. it was very fun, and the shooting, which I thought looked boring in videos, was actually satisfying and intuitive.

Sorry, but after looking at your profile, I find it really hard to believe you even have a PS3, let alone played the demo.

Guess not.

First off, what is up with this not so over the shoulder, more or less looking at your shoulder view? It's not natural, it feels wonky, it just doesn't seem right.

I didn't have any issues with the shoulder view. It's fine. That's extremely picky of you to even mention that as a con.

Played COD4 recently? Why can't it aim like that, you know, crisp.

Maybe because it's NOT CoD4. The aiming is fine. I didn't have any problems with it.

The six axis elements are poorly implemented and frustrate more than they add to the game play. The camera is problematic at times, which while it may give you a great view of some terrific plants and trees, it doesnt help when you are tring to figure out where to go.

You have free control of the camera, so I can't imagine how the hell you would have trouble finding out where to go. I had absolutely no camera issues. You're comment about the Sixaxis is just ridiculous. I can't even begin to understand how you could become frustrated when all you have to is tilt the controller left or right for a few seconds.

Enemy AI is stupid, I watched as enemies shot into walls while I casually shot at them, killing them with ease. At the point after you jump off the cliff, with ancient ruins around, I ran into the middle of the map, in between the 3-4 enemies "patrolling," stod there un-noticed for 5 seconds, before the enemies decided to clumsily run for cover and shoot into the walls, not at me.

I've played the demo 4 times already, and haven't run into anything like that. The A.I. is quite good actually.

The melee attacks were cool but felt useless because you never really needed to close the gap and punch your enemies. Explosions from barrels look god awful, instead of a realistic explosion, you get a big orange puff that is supposed to be an explosion.

Again, extremely picky. They may not be the best looking explosions, but they aren't that bad, and the rest of the game is gorgeous anyway.

The good though is the game looks simply amazing. The graphics are crisp, and even when you swim in the water, your shirt becomes noticable damp. Very impressive. Too bad the gameplay isnt.

Barely AA.

Considering allyour negative comments, and the fact the demo was "highly dissapointing" to you, don't you think AA is a little much?

That was a poor excuse for a review.

1. adjust the sensitivity. I felt a little akward with the aiming forminute, but it was perfect after I increased the sensitivity

2. the enemies are not dumb at all. they are agressive. at several points, one enemy in front would get my attention, while two of his buddies flanked me on either side. they were actively trying to kill me, and the entire firefight was filled with a sense of urgency and danger, especially on Hard. Sometimes, they would do unexpected maneuvers like running and then sliding into position behind cover. they really do try to dodge my shots. say what you will about the silly appearance of their "side step", but that makes them hard to hit, and thus headshots are very important.

overall, it is a very polished demo, and honestly, I was surprised at how it played. it was very fun, and the shooting, which I thought looked boring in videos, was actually satisfying and intuitive.

Yeah, I agree with everything you said.

I was really looking forward to this game. I wanted a Tomb Raider like adventure, and the graphics looked incredible. I remember reading the Game Informer cover story and thinking how great the game looked. When I heard there would be a demo of the game I was estatic, I was really looking forward to the game because not only did it show off the ps3's great graphic power, but I thought it could be a truely unique game.

Guess not.

First off, what is up with this not so over the shoulder, more or less looking at your shoulder view? It's not natural, it feels wonky, it just doesn't seem right.

I didn't have any issues with the shoulder view. It's fine. That's extremely picky of you to even mention that as a con.

Played COD4 recently? Why can't it aim like that, you know, crisp.

Maybe because it's NOT CoD4. The aiming is fine. I didn't have any problems with it.

The six axis elements are poorly implemented and frustrate more than they add to the game play. The camera is problematic at times, which while it may give you a great view of some terrific plants and trees, it doesnt help when you are tring to figure out where to go.

You have free control of the camera, so I can't imagine how the hell you would have trouble finding out where to go. I had absolutely no camera issues. You're comment about the Sixaxis is just ridiculous. I can't even begin to understand how you could become frustrated when all you have to is tilt the controller left or right for a few seconds.

Enemy AI is stupid, I watched as enemies shot into walls while I casually shot at them, killing them with ease. At the point after you jump off the cliff, with ancient ruins around, I ran into the middle of the map, in between the 3-4 enemies "patrolling," stod there un-noticed for 5 seconds, before the enemies decided to clumsily run for cover and shoot into the walls, not at me.

I've played the demo 4 times already, and haven't run into anything like that. The A.I. is quite good actually.

so saying its barely AA, and just pointing out some flaws in the game, and specifically stating that this was MY MOST ANTICIPATED PS3 game this year.....

i cant say it was dissapointing but give credit where it's due? leave it to system wars to show that opinions are good....when they don't conflict with yours.

I got done with gears of war just 1 month ago actually since we bought a 360 for halo 3 and decided to get gears of war too. I loved gears of war, and with the similar control schemes, I had no problem whatsoever adapting to uncharted. The over the shoulder aiming is the same exact thing. I found no fault in the aiming at all, in fact what was making me miss was the fact that the a.i bobs and weaves to slip past the headshots. In gears of war (still my top game this gen) the ai was actually more simple than uncharted. They would pop out, pop in, pop out, pop in, but everytime they popped out, it would be the same position, so all you'd have to do is wait for them. Don't believe me? play it again.

What I was missing the most in uncharted though was the hero run from gears, but other than that, the cover mechanics, aiming, grenade throwing, ai difficulty level were exactly the same. Game mechanics wise, is is practically gears of war, with melee isntead of hero run.

k, good for you.

You're not changing any opinions though.

Game is nothing to get excited about, nice visuals with stinky gameplay. Would be hard pressed to get AAA.

lol, you mentioned nothing positive except for the graphics. Graphics alone don't warrant a AA.

oh no im not saying Gears of war had smarted AI by anymeans, your team mates were more a burden than help in that game....

I think alot of the cows here are over-reacting and saying I am saying this game will get a 4.5 like another highly hyped game. Its not a terrible game, but considering that this was my most anticiapted PS3 game all year, I was just dissapointed that it didn't quite satisfy in anything but the graphics.

maybe Ill pick it up if it gets unanimous great review scores and becomes a longshot GOTY nominee thinking that like many stated, its just a demo and not complete.

But from what I've played and with how much hype this game has recieved, coupled with my own personal intrest in this game since it's apperance in Game Informer on the cover, I just was completely let down, but still feel its a decent game.

Some of you think I believe this game will flop on Lair proportions. Get that out of your head. It was dissapointing for two reasons. It's clunky and doesn't feel natural, and my own personal expectations of the game were not met.

God forbid people have dissenting opinions lol

Of course please tell me where I said this game would flop to Lair porportions, all I did was say what dissapointed me with the games Demo. But you guys are acting like this user opinion of a demo is the end all be all review that decides your fate on SW.

Graphically the game is terrific, gameplay the game is just kinda eh, it has moments but those "nit picky," things take away more than they add. Thats how it can get AA. Dead Rising had TONS of problems and how did it do?

rocktimusprime,

let me get this straight. You say it is ''highly dissapointing'', yet you think it is ''Barely AA''

Sounds like you went into this game with unrealistic high expectations, that is all.

I was expecting exactly what Cows have been calling this game for months...GeOW meets Tomb Raider. It didnt deliever on either, but it wasn't terrible. I mean it's no lair flop but its not more impressive than Gears.

Lots of cows would want you to believe this is a GeOW killer, and I guess your right, I believed the hype. I should have learned my lesson with Heavenly Sword but Motorstorm is awesome and I will fight that game deserved AA to the death.

ok then i guess that i wouldnt know that you use the six-axis to determine how far grenades go (frustratingly dumb) or balance on trees. That you hit Square Triangle Square to deliver a combo for "massive damage," or that when your getting shot up the screen goes grey GOW style (though it was red,) or maybe that I accurately described an action sequence in the game that others could point out and say what happened to them...

but your right i probably didnt play the game because my opinion is conflicting with yours.

[QUOTE="Dilrod"]Play on a setting other than easy. You can't just sit there uncovered shooting at the enemies. If so it won't take long before you are dead. I agree with you on the melee part though, but this is a demo and hardly shows anything of the entire game. rocktimusprime

played on hard, and they were still dumb as paris hilton. Unless its an in-game event where they directly see you, it can take moments for them to notice you are just chillin in the open. It was rather unsettling, and I saw one to many bad guys shoot into the wall infront of them. Played this demo some 5 times now, each setting and was not impressed on either go around.

Just from this statement of u saying u played it on hard and it was still easy, I will have to say u are full of sh*t, and havent even played the demo or u prolly tried it out at a friends and are just on here to write some bs about the game because u dont own a ps3. And u do remember this is not a fps game, from u bringing that up and comparing it to an fps game just makes this thread a failure. Other then this fake thread, this game will be an awesome game for ps3 owners and I expect it to be an AAA title even if gamespot desides to lower the scores like they have been doing, I think every other site will give the credit that naughty dog deserves an thats an AAA for an awesome ps3 exclusive, cant wait to get this game. :)

The topic title says "HIGHLY DISSAPOINTING" and the review was filled with extremely picky comments. That was you who created the topic, was it not? Try to understand what I'm getting at. You're constantly changing opinion is pretty odd. I'm just trying to understand why you would talk about the game like it's just bad all around, and then call it a AA. Doesn't make any sense.

You're constantly changing opinion is pretty odd. I'm just trying to understand why you would talk about the game like it's just bad all around, and then call it a AA. Doesn't make any sense.

i was highly dissapointed, thats how i feel, and it conflicts with your opinion so you dont like what i had to say. Of course I have stated that Ps3 owners hyped this GeoW meets Tomb Raider so maybe I expected some unrealistic hybrid super game that showed up GeOW. Look at Uncharted threads by cows, all of them seem to think this game is a GeOW killer, and always have felt that way.

So i guess to you its completely unreasonable that I can feel a game that was so highly hyped by its own fan base is very very dissapointing but still has the mechanics to be a half-way decent game.

Oh well, like I said, everyone loves opinions until they conflict with yours, welcome to SW.

You see, this is why SW is completely ridiculous, you try and post an opinion, and all of the fanboys come in and cry about your opinion. COMPLETELY ridiculous.

He brought up valid arguments, the least you could do is read his post.

Yeah, they're so valid that a "highly dissapointing" game warrants a AA score. That makes perfect sense right? lol

Sounds like you're the only one who didn't read his post.

Fable got a AA score, yet it was highly dissapointing to MANY people. But in your world, if your dissapointed then you have to score it 5.5, even though people took rather critical approches to the games flaws and leaving out promised content........

your also forgetting, we dont hype what we belive the score is, we hype what GS will score it because our hype system is ridiculous here

I was really looking forward to this game. I wanted a Tomb Raider like adventure, and the graphics looked incredible. I remember reading the Game Informer cover story and thinking how great the game looked. When I heard there would be a demo of the game I was estatic, I was really looking forward to the game because not only did it show off the ps3's great graphic power, but I thought it could be a truely unique game.

Guess not.

First off, what is up with this not so over the shoulder, more or less looking at your shoulder view? It's not natural, it feels wonky, it just doesn't seem right.

I didn't have any issues with the shoulder view. It's fine. That's extremely picky of you to even mention that as a con.

Played COD4 recently? Why can't it aim like that, you know, crisp.

Maybe because it's NOT CoD4. The aiming is fine. I didn't have any problems with it.

The six axis elements are poorly implemented and frustrate more than they add to the game play. The camera is problematic at times, which while it may give you a great view of some terrific plants and trees, it doesnt help when you are tring to figure out where to go.

You have free control of the camera, so I can't imagine how the hell you would have trouble finding out where to go. I had absolutely no camera issues. You're comment about the Sixaxis is just ridiculous. I can't even begin to understand how you could become frustrated when all you have to is tilt the controller left or right for a few seconds.

Enemy AI is stupid, I watched as enemies shot into walls while I casually shot at them, killing them with ease. At the point after you jump off the cliff, with ancient ruins around, I ran into the middle of the map, in between the 3-4 enemies "patrolling," stod there un-noticed for 5 seconds, before the enemies decided to clumsily run for cover and shoot into the walls, not at me.

I've played the demo 4 times already, and haven't run into anything like that. The A.I. is quite good actually.

The melee attacks were cool but felt useless because you never really needed to close the gap and punch your enemies. Explosions from barrels look god awful, instead of a realistic explosion, you get a big orange puff that is supposed to be an explosion.

Again, extremely picky. They may not be the best looking explosions, but they aren't that bad, and the rest of the game is gorgeous anyway.

The good though is the game looks simply amazing. The graphics are crisp, and even when you swim in the water, your shirt becomes noticable damp. Very impressive. Too bad the gameplay isnt.

Barely AA.

Considering allyour negative comments, and the fact the demo was "highly dissapointing" to you, don't you think AA is a little much?

That was a poor excuse for a review.

rocktimusprime

so saying its barely AA, and just pointing out some flaws in the game, and specifically stating that this was MY MOST ANTICIPATED PS3 game this year.....

i cant say it was dissapointing but give credit where it's due? leave it to system wars to show that opinions are good....when they don't conflict with yours.



lol, you mentioned nothing positive except for the graphics. Graphics alone don't warrant a AA.

You should probably re-read your posts before you actually submit them.

So not enjoying the games shooting perspective, melee attacks and tacked on six-axis controls are nit picky.....even though they are major elements in the game?

Of course please tell me where I said this game would flop to Lair porportions, all I did was say what dissapointed me with the games Demo. But you guys are acting like this user opinion of a demo is the end all be all review that decides your fate on SW.

Graphically the game is terrific, gameplay the game is just kinda eh, it has moments but those "nit picky," things take away more than they add. Thats how it can get AA. Dead Rising had TONS of problems and how did it do?

You can have your opinion, that's fine. I don't care if it's not the same as mine. I simply pointed out to you howodd it sounds to complain about every aspect of a game except graphics, and then give ita good score. You're just avoiding that issue, and that's fine. I see there's no need to continue this conversation. You aren't going to explain your first post as you're just changing your opinion of it now anyway. In the beginning you said it was highly dissapointing, the A.I. sucked, the Sixaxis control sucked, the aiming sucked, but now it's a half way decent game. Using the cows hype doesn't help your case at all. You should have been able to have a pretty good idea of what to expect from this game. We have seen numerous gameplay trailers/screens afterall.

To be perfectly fair, if you have an opinion, state it in words like 'in my opinion blah blah', it sounds better. Also, if you dont want your opinion torn to shreds no matter its validity, don't post it on system wars.

[QUOTE="bearbones"]rocktimusprime,

let me get this straight. You say it is ''highly dissapointing'', yet you think it is ''Barely AA''

Sounds like you went into this game with unrealistic high expectations, that is all.

rocktimusprime

I was expecting exactly what Cows have been calling this game for months...GeOW meets Tomb Raider. It didnt deliever on either, but it wasn't terrible. I mean it's no lair flop but its not more impressive than Gears.

Lots of cows would want you to believe this is a GeOW killer, and I guess your right, I believed the hype. I should have learned my lesson with Heavenly Sword but Motorstorm is awesome and I will fight that game deserved AA to the death.

Cows are there to be made fun of, not to believe. Same goes for lemmings, sheep and hermits. Fanboys want you to believe a lot of things, but at the end of the day it's up to you, my friend, to form your own opinion on games.

Wah wah, someone had an opinion about a game I am hyping but still reserved the fact it has decent qualities so therefor e I can't flame him effectively! wah wah!

Uncharted will probably get a AA score. Cows are hyping it AAA, but its magically AA...It is hyped as a GeOW killer and I totally beleived every piece of the hype, it isnt. See my dissapointment. Doesn't mean its Lair, just means it didn't live up to the fan hype (which i totally bit on) to ME.

Like I said with fable, people pointed out GLARING flaws and missing elements from that game but it still scored very well and so well it is warrenting a sequel.

I think your just reading into my post as a total hate post when really I guess I was just trying to say how I felt the game dissapointed me.

I think it looks better then gears and thats saying alot because gears blew me away when i first played it. However the gun play in this game is really bad. I mean you have to shot the guys like 10 times to kill them for a game that looks so realistic that part really through me off. The platforming is alot of fun though and the game movies so smooth i mean the world in the game looks so real that it just pulls you into the game from the start. My guess would be an 8.5 for the score.

It's not just him. You're post came across as total hate to many people, myself included. I mean, ''Explosions from barrels look god awful''. :roll:

Either edit your original post, or put up with people such as myself. Plain and simple.

I liked the movie at the start.The expresions were well done. About to jump out of the plane and then his eyes light up to see that he's never really jumped from a plane before. It had some humor in it. counts really fast.

I'm really into detail though. When I play sports games I'm the one who looks at what the crowd is doing. It got me that you slid if you just barely moved. You didn't walk, just slid on the ground. Other than that you ran like a basketball player and everything played good.
