I thought the thrill of the shallow flashiness would've worn off by now. I for one can't stand being a back seat driver when it comes to games

We need an Uncharted 3 sticky bad. On topic, Uncharted 3 is going to be awesome and everyone knows it. It's not gonna get less than a 9 here. todd2r

^I'm also with Pikminmaniac with this one, why do people regard Uncharted as the God of all PS3 franchises? I've finished both U1 and 2 and quite frankly, both played out like your run-of-the-mill third person shooter to me, even the super cinematic scenes where underwhelming because well, pretty much every damn game is super cinematic these days with super flashy graphics.koospetoors

You may not think it deserves a high score, but it damn sure is to me. Best game ever.

I just had to log in to reply to this. Why are you in every Uncharted thread with the redundant "oh boy.. I dont' see the appeal.." banter?? Ok if you don't see the appeal gtfo. Oh and on the contrary, more games put you in the back seat more so than what your imagining. Most of the time your controlling and playing Uncharted WHILE these amazing things are happening. What Uncharted 3 does in gameplay, most other games have you sit down and watch in a prerendered cutscene. When in the falling building in Uncharted 2, i remember actually moving drake around and shooting the NPCS and having to jump into the next building for briefly one second and continuing the game. I guess you'd rather just sit back and watch drake fight through the whole scene in a prerendered cutscene huh? Oh and from the looks of your sig, you probably like Naruto, a game which does this to the max. All those ninjutsu's are basically flash and substance with QTE's.

You logged in to rant on his opinion? What's up with fans not understanding that no game in existence will ever have universal appeal, goes for books and movies aswell, regardless of how well recieved they are. This is basic knowledge that ya'll need to recite before responding to a guy that doesn't like your favorite game.

Im looking at your recently played list and then your take on the Uncharted series, and I am inclined to call you a Weabo ... I don't want to rush to judgment and call you a weabo however so I'll leave it at that.rasengan2552

Same deal goes for you, the *** is his played list got to do with his criticism of Uncharted.

It just bothers me is all... It makes our 'professional' reviewing community look like a bunch of immature children flocking to praise shiny things. All you need now a days is a big budget so that you can make a bunch of explosions and destruction happen around the player in a 9 hour campaign instead of trying to advance the gameplay. Let's make stuff happen around you and leave you to do the same thing you did last time. I just don't get why something as superficial as set pieces makes Uncharted on of the highest regarded series this gen.

I don't mind people enjoying a romp through a nice little action game like Uncharted, but it shouldn't be considered the industry's ctizen cane or Godfather.

I honestly dont see the appeal in the uncharted series. Uncharted 1 is the most boring thing I ever played, and the Uncharted 2 demo while terrible was at least an improvement. I played the Beta of UC3 and it left me with a terrible taste. I guess this series is just not for me.

Still, I am glad the gaming journalists had a blast.

Who said he was arguing his opinion? He's just wondering why enter a thread about a game you find overrated just to bash it? It's the equivalent of coming into a resturant that has straight pizza lovers, and out of nowhere a guy yells "Pizza sucks! It has no teh flavorz."

TrapJak

Give me a break, that was a rant. And this ain't a pizza place, this be a forum. The guy can criticize anything he wants as long as he doesn't break the rules.

Games is going to be amazing. Can't wait for my Uncharted 3 collectors edition. Finally my Solid Snake action figure can stand beside Drake lol.Randoggy

lol same here but my action figure will stand next to Cole from infamous 2 :P

He can, doesn't mean it's not odd or unusual. And though that was a rant, he has a point. You have the right to do it, but why? If it's for amusement, then I'll just laugh along with ya :D.

It's natural to get mad wen someone bashes your favorite game, i sometimes slip aswell, but it's also natural to try to grow out of that bad habbit, let me stress out that having a disagreement is a different thing than a rant. Ranting just shows a lack of confidence in your own value.

Example: Deus Ex is one of my absolute favorite games ever, but i know there's a ton of people that disagree and downright hate it. Why would i rant on them without any constructivity to actually start a disscusion? I waste effort. It remains my GOAT game, because it's my experience that matters for me, a guy disagreeing on my favorite game won't change my experience, or my thoughts with the game. I could tell him why people would love the game, sure, or start a disscusion.

Great news, can't wait to get my hands on this game!

(only one more post till 1000!! :D)

Sure it's flashy but you "drive" more than any game. Except the talking bits of course. In any other game this would've most likely been a cutscene. The player sucks though, and it's like the easiest setting, just sayin

Also I much rather play this and experience amazing set pieces in amazing environments than solving shallow crap puzzles in Zelda (puzzles clearly meant for young children). Just sayin.

Don't say that.. You "drive" more in inFAMOUS, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Batman Arkham Asylum, Dark Souls, Devil May Cry, Halo, GTA, and pretty much every single game made before this gen...

I have played the game and the only time I enjoyed myself was during the car chace sequence and the first puzzle involving your journal... The game felt like it completely controled my pacing and parts like the museum and the ice cave with tenzen were just to serve story and provided some of the most pointless gaming experences out there. Then when it gets past the halfway point it becomes overly repetative with large shoot out sequences.

And don't get me started with the so called platforming in the game

Uncharted haters are more annoying than Dark Souls fanboys. Fact.

UC3 is one of those rare games I will purchase no matter what, and the last time I felt that for a game was MGS4.

Oh I'm so stoked! Everything is gonna be amazing. The SP, the versus, and I'm also really looking foward to the co op. But that's after single player.
