What did you think of Uncharted 3? (Contains Spoilers)!

As the thread title says, if you don't want the story ruined then DON'T ENTER THE THREAD! If you do I'm not feeling sorry for you.

Now with that out of the way, I beat Uncharted 3 recently and I have to say that the game is seriously epic! But some things didn't make sense to me (more on that in a bit), I enjoyed the puzzles alot more as they were much more challenging than Uncharted 2 and 1 puzzles. Also the hand to hand combat is hands down amazing, and each chapter I felt was defiantely awesome. IMO it is the best in the series, and the online ahs become my favorite multiplayer game, even better than Killzone and RDR and COD. People that are talking about how there was no charecter development can kiss my ass, the story has much more serious drama than the last two games and the relationship between Drake and Sully really improves.

Now some things didn't make sense to me: For one thing I cannot unerstand if Talbot had supernatural powers or not, there are times where he shows up out of nowhere and it seems impossible for him to do so. And I didn't understand in Chauetu (spelling? ) when you find one of the enemies and their body is strange looking and Drake comments about it and says they can't decompose that fast. This is never explained and they just dropped it from the storyline.

Overall Uncharted 3 is probably my second favorite game this gen now right behind Skyrim.

Loved the beginning of the story. Felt different from the others. The ending fell into the same ol', same ol' (collapsing city... Again?)

All around fun game... However, I played none of the MP.

I think it sucks.

I agree that the collapsing city was a little cliche', but it was still pretty cool IMO. I was dissapointed with the fight with Marlon though, she just dies in quick sand, I was expecting this crazy supernatural thing to happen to her. But the second chapter and the third COMPLETELY surprised me, I didn't expect it at all. It was a nice touch.

TBH i'm glad that Marlow wasn't anything special. After Lazarovich in UC2, I wasn't really interested in a ridiculous supernatural ending. I did like the dive back into Drake's childhood, though more fleshing out would not have hurt.

yay more uncharted 3 threads

It feels like an adventure this time instead of just a tps. :o

TheGuardian03

I definitely got that vibe. The Pub was a pretty nice touch, even though is was mostly cutscene :P

I thought Uncharted 2 was better. I liked Cutter though.

The ending just wrapped up way to fast for my liking. I feel like they should have milked the city of brass a bit more. I see how the collapsing city is cliche but come on, if you created a super secret city/location, you think you wouldn't put a self destruct/easily destroyed mechanism in it ? although I would have preferred the city just get pulled into a massive sandtrap/quicksand kinda thing. Nonstop-Madness

Ya that would have been awesome, I would have liked to explored the city a little more but it was good for what it was. And I though that they kept trying to convince you that they were going to kill off charecters but then they don't. It happens like 2 or 3 times, and Chloe and Elena don't have much of a role in the story, but that's ok because it was really about Drake and Sully and their freindship.

I entered without reading, but I wanted to say that so far, I love it. Its not as awesome as Uncharted 2 started, but still damn good.

I enjoyed Uncharted 1 & 2 a lot when I played them (enough to platinum 2). I bought Uncharted 3 and stopped playing on Chapter 8 and haven't been back yet (though I plan to at some point). Not sure why really, just wasn't feeling it at the time. From what I played it was good, I guess I'm just a bit burned out on the series at the moment.

Uncharted 3 is a better game overall if you like multiplayer. U3's MP is creative and plays like nothing else that I've played. It also has a bunch of damn content that will probably be overlooked by those who care only for the single player portion. I enjoyed Uncharted 2's campaign more, mostly because it came first. Uncharted 3 has better puzzles, combat, the writing is about the same, but the story events are better to me. Drake as a character is detailed very nicely.

They added some new mechanics to the game that break things up SPOILER (riding a horse with firing and jumping on/off, new platforming, waving off spiders with fire, melee combat with multiple targets, throwing grenades back, and disarming enemies to take their weapon if you have none). I think the lost city part was predictable, it was the same formula as Uncharted 2. Wish the campaign was longer. I feel the game rushed you into the lost city in the sands in the final chapters.

It looks like people are only talking about the single player only. People can look at the series this way: if you compare Uncharted 2 to games with both MP and SP components, you would probably say to yourelf "how the f*ck did they pull this off". I think Ucnharted 3's single player is better than all of these games single player portions: Killzone, Crysis, Gears, Halo, MW3, Battlefield and Resistance. I'm not saying these are the only types of games people should compare it to, but this is the type of game it is (having resources and manpower divided into different modes of play). On top of that there's a content rich MP that contends with top games in terms of features and creativity. ND put some real effort here. Its really awesome. I think there's much room for improvement though.

It's not better than UC2, but it's still an awesome game.

i loved the game, not much complaints besides the fact I didn't kill marlowe

diving into how drake and sully met was a nice touch imo

Equal in quality with Uncharted 2, though the story maybe a bit weaker.
Oh and I believe the story behind the body is that the spiders got to him. Given where you find the body I think they relied on people to assume this. It was kind of like a warning for things to come.

The story is pretty much the same formula every UC game follows but the characters' relationships are much more fleshed out in this game, I love the bond between Sully and Drake. Also, despite being the same treasure hunting story, Drakes motive is questioned, whether it's all really worth it which is interesting too. The rest of the characters are great too, they play off of each other really well, dialogue during times when Drake, Sully, Chloe and Charlie are together is particularly funny. The games story is by no means great but is an improvement over previous games and I do look forward to what they do with the next one.fabz_95

It really did have a more serious tone to it this time around IMO, like you mentioned about Drake's motives being qustioned ect... Like the part where he is talking to Elena and she says that Sully is someone he should be worried about and she implies that he is responsible for any danger that might happen to him since Sully loveslike a son and will follow him anywhere.

And then there is the part where Marlon talks about Drake's past and you learn a little about his parents and home life, the part about his mother commiting suicide and how Drake might not be a realitive of Francis Drake, I thought that was a good part in the storyline.

Agree fully with the GS review score, multiplayer shines but singleplayer lacked the same outbreaking flare that UC2 possessed.

My biggest complaints: story wrapped-up too quickly, never felt like they took full advantage of either Marlowe or Talbot's character, did not spend enough time in Ubar (and why no closing boss fight like in UC2? The fact that they just let the genie lamp drop back into the cavern's spring was a major letdown).

The ending , I feel, was perfect, if UC2 hadn't done it already.

I thought the story was lazy but the game great overall.

The Game SUCKS

I thought it was awsome. It's not like the other two had good storys either and this one was no different, but I just liked the setting and the characters in Part 3 the most.

It also had teh set peicez....

Nah, but I would give it 4 stars.

The Game SUCKS

Whoa... Really?

"Now some things didn't make sense to me: For one thing I cannot unerstand if Talbot had supernatural powers or not, there are times where he shows up out of nowhere and it seems impossible for him to do so."

Yeah? Well thats one of odd moments of terrible writing and eluded plot points which are never answered. I felt the same way, and it turns out that he doesn't have any sort of powers at all. He simply has a bullet proof vest which allows him to survive bullets and escape wire(?) for him to make quick escapes. At least...that's what the developers said what happended. None of this is actually explained in the game sadly...

"And I didn't understand in Chauetu (spelling? ) when you find one of the enemies and their body is strange looking and Drake comments about it and says they can't decompose that fast. This is never explained and they just dropped it from the storyline."

Also another part of the game that bothered me. The decomposing body was supposed to elude to the spiders that you face underground. Now, how is a decomposing body supposed to elude to...spiders? Beats me.

This game built up a lot of suspense for some good story beats, but the pay off is terrible.

"They control through deception and fear..." - Basically nothing supernatural, they're illusionists employing various tricks to fool their enemies.

Why was Drake after............... whatever ever it was they were after? Why did Charlie and Chloe just dissapear? Why did the city just crumple just becus Drake shot the crain? You would need a hge explosin to get a city like that to shake ar break down just from shock waves.

Theonly thing that REALY disappointed me was the fact that you get NOTHING for beating the story. U1 and U2 have cool unlockables and cheats for when you beat the story. U3 had nothing, not even a "You Win", "Thanks for Playing"

I didn't feel it really needed to be explained. Personally I felt it to be kind of obvious. I know when I see someone get shot like that and then get back up with no apparent wound "kevlar vest" is the first thing that pops in my mind.

Why did Charlie and Chloe just dissapear?Nengo_Flow

I see a lot of people bring this up and I seriously have to wonder if people are skipping the cutscenes. Did you miss the part where Charlie breaks his leg and Chloe decides that whatever Drake's going after isn't worth risking their lives?

This is Uncharted, so nothing is ever super obvious. Cutter seemed pretty freaked out that Talbot survived a bullet to the chest, so that gave me the impression that there might be something really weird going on with Talbot.,The fact that they never explain in the game that it was a bullet proof vest is why this part of the story still pisses me off to this day.

Yeah I was waiting for an explaination about that dead guy.

I was expecting something more, but no, its just the spiders.

BUT then it brings out another question, who was that guy?what thef*ck is up with them spiders? What are they, what do the want, why are they there? why do they want to kill people? Why are those Spiders in the Chaetu (France) and in Syria?

Charlie was also coming down from having his mind f*cked by hallucinogenic drugs.

He was already off that stuff a long time ago before that scene...

I liked it. I thought the campaign was a lot of fun and I really liked that it had actual character development this time.

My only issue with UC3 is that it just doesn't have a lot of customization options. It's too bad they removed all the bonuses for the singleplayer campaign that were in the first 2 games. I was looking forward to playing through the game dressed as suited drake using a silenced pistol, but oh well. The MP also severely lacks customization. There aren't that many modes or editing options. Co-op being the most disappoiting here. Instead of having separate modes for all seige, survival or gold rush, they crammed them all together. Me and my friends were looking forward to playing through nothing but survival, but oh well.

the fact that he breaks his leg and then we never see him again at all is stupid. why did Chloe felt cool with the plan at first then did want to go trhough with it? She was only there for fan service. At least they could of shown up again at the end somewhere, in the last cutscene so that we would know that they were still part of the game. they make you get all attached to Cutter for nothing.

If they were going to kill them off the story, they might as well actually kill them so that we would know what happened to them and maybe if they were dead, we might understand why Drake was doing all of this. If both Cutter and Chloe were killed by Talbot and his men, then the story would of made more sense.

Better than "I broke me leg", "I dont want to do this anymore". "Ok bye"

Yeah it was good, definitely a 9.0+ from me just a shame U2 spoiled us too much that we didn't see much improvement... Oh well maybe next time we'll see some insane things happen.JohnF111

To be fair to Naughty Dog they can't really control the fact that the actor playing Cutter, Graham McTavish, had to go to New Zealand to play a dwarf for a couple of years. And why do the characters need to be in the story for longer than they were anyway? It's Drake and Sully's story. Anyone else is kinda ancillary to that. And why kill them off and ruin any chance of using them again in the future?
