Uncharted's demo is highly dissapointing....

[QUOTE="rocktimusprime"]

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.

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.

dude those explosions were butt, im sorry if that is nitpicky but it was kinda like whaaaaat? when you have gorgoues environments and then orange puff balls for explosions. It didnt take away from the game, but it was odd enough to notice them.

Its good to hear the truth about this game from a respectable source.

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.

I've never had any problems with the aiming. The enemies are hard to hit because they move around a lot. By the enemies shooting into the wall you mean the wall you're taking cover behind? If so, what's so weird and stupid about that?

What the crap is an auto camera?

Bullet magnets, what the hell? Now I'm starting to doubt if you've actually played the demo. The enemies have like 53289569 different animations for running, dodging, taking cover, stepping out of cover, getting hit etc. And they constantly move around. Because of this they're the slickest bastards ever. If you think they're so easy to hit then why are you complaining about the aiming?

Melee attacks are good for taking down enemies quickly, save ammo and are useful when the enemy is closeby. Basically like in any other game ever. But I guess it's only bad in Uncharted? There is one difference between the melee in other games and Uncharted though, in Uncharted it kicks ass. In other games you usually just get the dull and uneventful riflebutt. Here you ****ing dropkick fools.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

PSN ID?

Coming from a 360 fan, outside of the graphics this game was full of fail.

I guess cows settle for any subpar TPS or FPS...because they never had any.

the TC a lemming saying how he feels about a PS3 game? :roll:M0rph0_o

Ok, I've played the demo some more and I've come to the conclusion that anyone who thinks the AI, aiming, melee combat, camera or combat is bad is crazy. The only real mechanical flaw I can think of is that you can't circle around cover, you're stuck to one side and have to unstick yourself to move to another. You don't need to actually do this very often though. And who knows, perhaps it'd be worse otherwise, with Nathan running to the wrong side of cover when you don't want him to.

Anyhow, other than this you can basically sum up the gameplay as fluid and incredibly entertaning. At its core it's a linear game, but the crazy AI, the flexible controls, the fluid animations and melee combat makes it feel alive and dynamic.

Oh and sixaxis grenades work but I think I'd prefer regular analog stick aiming. They should include that as an option at least.

[QUOTE="dream431ca"]The A.I. really impressed me. The demo was enjoyable overall. Don't forget, that demo is over 5 months old. Hence the name "demo".hip-hop-cola2

great, so they show me a 5 month old product that is terrible and expect me to pay 60 bucks for it?

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

Uncharted will be perhaps the best PS3 game this year. Ratchet is going to be hard to beat though.Sir-Marwin105

dude...its JiveT...you can make a thread about how MS sold 10million X360s in one day thus overtaking the Wii and as you source you can link to a website by the name of www.100percentBS.com which claims it got the info from its magical unicorn that lives in the reporters pants and JiveT will call u the most respectable poster on Systemwars.

Too bad its not a TPS or a FPS.

I don't know why people keep comparing it to FPS and TPS when its clearly not one. Its a action-adventure game. If your going to compare Uncharted's aiming system to COD4 you might as well compare GTA's aiming system to Halo.

Look on Gamespot on the game's game space, it clearly says "Modern Action-Adventure" for the genre.

lems are funny

They state one thing, then all agree with eachother as if that makes it a fact :lol:
