[quote name='camoor']That's just stupid. I mean really

ing stupid.
I only said the games were overrated.
I mean really - this is from the review for Uncharted 1 "Leaping from ledges is awesome, shootouts are fun, and the occasional vehicle section is a nice change of pace." Oh yeah, pushing forward and x at the same time to jump over a ledge was super fun, it brought back memories of playing a Mario game over a decade ago. And those Uncharted 1 shootouts were a total blast, great aiming system,
I'm surprised that all the top tier FPS weren't all over that shit.
Review for Uncharted 2 - "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune had one of the best stories the PS3 has ever seen, it packed some of the best graphics I had ever seen, and it was some of the most fun I have ever had in a videogame. Uncharted 2 keeps all of that and builds on it." Oh yeah best story - wandering around snowcapped mountains in nothing but a long-sleeved tshirt while taking out wave after wave of cookiecutter bad guys in increasingly implausable situations, there hasn't been something this compelling since Cliffhanger.
The best part is that in all of these reviews is that the reviewer always specifically discounts what he said by pointing out all the annoyances he had while playing the game and hinting at how craptastic the plot truly is (again from the UC2 review: "Admittedly, I think I set my expectations a little too high. The reappearance of rooms filling with waves and wave of baddies was annoying, the story felt a bit too familiar at times")
But then inexplicably the reviewer comes full circle and awards a near-perfect score anyway. Score one for the hype machine.[/QUOTE]
This is getting old! It is NOT a FPS and the aiming and shooting mechanics are FAR from broken. The shooting and hand to hand combat system in Uncharted is what a game like GTA should aspire to.
This is not a run and shoot your way to the end type game. Some of you guys need to take a chill pill till your HD Halo Collection comes out.
If you are playing this game to beat it in one session and you're not takeing the time out to enjoy the beauty in each level then sadly you're missing out. Most of us can appreciate the strides that Naughty Dog has made and how each game (in this series) it has released has raised the bar in regards to attention to detail in level design.
I think the jumping and climbing aspect is perfectly done and thats why it has gotten good reviews. Yes Tomb Raider (and many others before that) have done it first but the animations of N. Drake jumping look so natural compared to other games.
I just think those that say "this is stupid" "overhyped" "shootings was bad" are those that never were going to enjoy this franchise due to biases or the fundamental "let's hate one of the best because that's the cool thing to do".
Was Uncharted 3 disappointing? Possibly... but not because it was a bad game. If it is disappointing to someone it should be so because expectations were so high and as a gamer and fan of the series you expect to be swept of your feet based on experiences of the first two and that was a near impossible task.
Compared to the rest of the games out on the market this is easily a 9/10, compared to expectations of where Uncharted fans would have liked this game to go 7/10 and lastly it would rank as a < 5/10 for idiot kids who are expecting some sort of shooter when they purchased or rented the game.
