I was pretty bored by it. I liked the original because, it felt original. This felt like a rehash of the same exact story with the same kinda things happening all over again except where as the original the events that transpired felt original, a lot of this game felt really forced.. especially the humor.

Sure the graphics are amazing and it has high production values.. Its just something about it felt very off while playing it.. I wasn't really digging the level design at all.. I thought some levels were just flat out awful how they were designed... They all looked nice but a lot of stuff just felt awkwardly placed and positioned in the game world...the pacing could have been better.. Some sections you were in felt like they went on for way too long while others were over too quickly.

The explotions and all the crazy stuff that happens in this game was cool.. but I felt like they took control out of your hands too much.. Too much of the game I felt like I was just watching things happen and just tapping a button or two

idk I loved the first but I just didn't really like the second.

I know exactly what you are talking about. The Borneo level for instance. The first level of the game set the game up so brilliantly, but the museum and Borneo levels felt just weak. In the Borneo level, drake just randomly shows up in the middle of a "jungle" out of nowhere. the reason I put jungle in quotes is because it is actually a very narrow tunnel surrounded by walls as trees. It felt like something from crash bandicoot. And drake just shows up there randomly, and it doesnt show him actually going to his destination. The gameplay in the level was literally run foreward in a tunnel, shoot 2 enemies (and sully tells you exactly when to shoot them lol). To be honest, that level could have been SOO much more developed than that.

This was freaking Borneo of all places, and that is all they came up with?After all, for what uncharted is, Uncharted is all about a backpacking treasure hunter exploring deserted places and s***, and this is all they came up with? Dont mean to sound harsh, but im just sayin. I feel like that level could have been so much more.

Im sorry, I am mostly a cow, but I have to lol @ this. The shooting mechanics are terrible. Gun accuracy, responsiveness, etc. Play red dead redemption, then come back and play this. I still enjoyed the game, but this was possibly the WORST point you could bring up when defending/praising the game.

I thought they were great :| I'll admit that RDR's was better, but I thought that the shooting itself was the best part of UC2.

God I hated RDR shooting mechanics. I had a Henry Repeater and I shot someone 5 times yet they still didn't die and they just whipped out their pistol and shot me :evil:

High power pistol and Mauser were the best guns in that game. I was excited to hear them say "we were inspired by red dead redemption", and I hope they have guns similar to them in Uncharted 3.

I think it's overrated; but it has a very well-written story and great production values. The shooting mechanics are also top-notch.

Can we put the fanboy wars aside for a minute and objectively (or subjectively) discuss why YOU liked Uncharted 2 so much? What did YOU love about the game that you thought it was worth a 10, perfect, best game ever, etc.

This is not to challenge anyones opinions, I am open to them, but I just want to know why YOU loved it. I have beaten the game, and have over 100 hours in multiplayer. Alot of times I hear people praise the game, call it perfect, hype Uncharted 3 AAAA, but never give you any details WHY, instead they simply spam the list of GOTY awards or "teh graphix" and call it a day.

If you like the game, I am not antagonizing your opinion, I just want to hear actual reasons why you like the game, actual things you like about it etc. IE: the gameplay, cinematic experience, etc.

I have no problem sitting down and having a 20 minute conversation about the game with you guys. I just want to hear your opinion. Why do YOU love uncharted 2 so much and what do YOU like about it?

I remember this game from a long time ago.

Lol, why do foreign countries always make such shameless knockoffs? Do they really think people are going to be stupid enough to mistake it for the actual game?

[QUOTE="SUD123456"]

Not even close by any objective standard. Example:

Infamous 2 received a 7.5 vs metacritic averageof 8.3

Halo Wars received a 6.5 vs metacritic averageof 8.2

There are other examples, but this one is good SW conspiracy fodder.8)

madsnakehhh

I'm not talking about scores and averages.I'm talking about the review itself , the video review and the text one , I already posted my rant and everything that is wrong in that review , wrong as in wrong , not my opinion.He complains about the same thing he praised in the last game , complained about the inability to be neutral , WHY on earth would someone chose to be neutral in a game that rewards every bad or good choice you make , he complains about black and white screen which exists in a bunch of other games and in a worse form , blood splashes , which are completely ignored in COD reviews.Complains about it being more of the same while we get yearly COD's whose scores remain untouched by such aspect.One guy here said exactly what I felt when I read the review : "They overrated inFamous and compensated on the second" because it seemed he was highlighting every minor flaw present in this game AND the first but were ignored and in a lot of popular games ; last but not least talked briefly about it's improvements , which even so , didn't seem to affect the final score.

That said let me remind you that the reviewer of the first was the same reviewer of the second so lets scratch out any subjective aspect of the review , we know what the guy liked and what he didn't in the first , but the second you read the review you'll see that the guy has double standards regarding the same game , I mean what the eff.

In a bigger scale the same happened to mario kart 64's review , and R&C:ToD , let's just pretend we didn't read that.

As you can see it's not about the score , it's about how you present the game into words and how they translate into that score.

Hear On The Spot, Tom shares his point of view on why he gave that score (which is not a bad score) as well as why he gave the first Infamous that score, not to mention, Tom Mcshea has never made a Review on any CoD game as far as i know, so it's irrelevant to compare this score to CoD's.

And no, GS shouldn't add a second thought's on the game or remade the review.

Which On The Spot episode is it? can you link me?
