Dark Souls, by miles
It is better than about 10 billion quick time event games like Uncharted
Dark Souls is an RPG
Dark Souls is definitely action-adventure. The devs just had the good sense to add character stats and classes so it wasn't meh-tastic like Uncharted. Real RPGs let you control multiple characters and, well, role-play between them.
That being said the best action-adventure game is Dark Souls II, easily.
Skyward Sword, Darksiders 2, and Assassins Creed 2 were my favorites.
Also Uncharted 2 is a third person shooter. Just because Nathan Drake is on an adventure doesn't mean the player is.
From Uncharted, to Dark Souls, and then to Batman. I think this thread needs to define what a "action adventure" is first. Those games are all very different IMO. I'd fall in the Batman category being the closest one. I'll put on my flameshield though and say Skyward Sword. As much as I hate the padding. The dungeons, Art style, and characters were top notch.

It's easy. Uncharted and Dark Souls are not action adventure. Batman is action adventure. And awesome to see another Skyward Sword fan. Just finished Wind Waker HD and had a blast but yes, I still like Skyward Sword way more.

A game can be action - adventure and RPG i guess

It's called a ARPG aka Action Role Playing Game
Dark Souls is about as much into the "action" genre as I can stand and it is one of the best games I've played in 30+ years of gaming. can't say the same about Dark Souls 2.
AC 4: Black Flag
Tomb Raider or Max Payne 3 were easily better than any of the Uncharted games.
Lol no. Max Payne 3 was shit to me. A total disappointment compared to the first two. Where as Uncharted as an experience, was much more memorable for me. To each his own.
Totally agree about Max Payne 3

The first two Max Payne games were good for their time but are dated and don't carry the pizzazz they once held . Max Payne 3 is worthy of carrying the torch, it's still got the series's dark mature tone, the action is top notch, and it's signature Matrix'esque bullet time was greatly improved upon, and it's production value and narrative properties have modernized to be among the best of games. Only thing missing really is some of the series's classic noir elements & comic stylization.
In comparison to the Uncharted games Max Payne does it's set pieces every bit as well, the character animations and voice acting and story are every bit as good. The one great area of importance that it excels is in the action gameplay, especially in the shooting mechanics, something Uncharted games have never been as crafty at. Plus their use of the Euphoria engine makes NPC reaction to injury and death more realistic, and the animations for weapons handling are unmatched, and this working with the bullettime's kill came makes last kills especially gruesome and a spectacle to watch.
But, like you said, to each their own, but wanted to elaborate some on why I stand where I stand.
knew TC was going to say UC2 before even opening this thread
Just more shitty trolling
How is it trolling? Oh sorry, I forgot, anything pro Playstation is trolling. Maybe he should've said something exclusive to Xbox or PC. BTW, lol lostrib post. Stay mad.
@Sagemode87: no, because he's created a number of threads in the past few days about Uncharted that were very clearly trolling. Are you still so delusional to believe I'm a lemming?
Oh okay, didn't know. In that case sorry about the mistake. However, each time I see you post, it's always to bash Playstation or Cows and damage control for Xbox so I'm only going by what I see.
@Sagemode87: perhaps if you pulled your head out of your ass you could see things more clearly
Carry on with your bullshit trolling, idiot.
