And I just have to get this off my chest.

I do know some people will disagree, and some will agree; but quite frankly, I don't give a damn xP.

Since 2008 June, I was wow'd beyond what I thought was possible when I played MGS4 after I just joined these boards. I was like; Whats the fuzz all about? (as I really had no idea about games in general, and the communities, reviews etc; I just bought whatever I found in stores).

Short said: I played MGS4, pledged alliengence to Sony for having the greatest game I have ever played on their platform (don't ask XD). Ever since then, I have continued to be amazed by games like Uncharted 2 and God of War 3. One for each year, respectively. And while all of those games have been truly outstanding, despite U2's 96, and GoW3's 92, none of them in my opinion could really combat MGS4, despite it's 94.

I had really watched a lot of UC3 videos and stuff, so I honestly felt a bit sad over that fact just the days before I was to get it. But after playing this, I only have one statement to make:

I did not think it was possible. I did not think I was going to ever be amazed at how well a game has been made. Metal Gear Solid 4 presented a Story that was so complex, and while years of reading up on it, playing the past games and understanding it to a certain extent; some things did not fully make sense to me. Regardless, I love the game(s), I love the character(s) and I love the way Kojima has created the MGS franchise. Now I need you all to sit down if you aren't already (that goes for smartphone users as I am asuming you're sitting if you're infront of a PC XD).

Uncharted 3, is the greatest game that I have played in my life time thus far. From the amazing story telling, audio/soundtrack/voice acting, the holy shit fuck making epic melee mechanics that I fucking love so badly YOU have NO idea, the insane cutscenes, the graphics that will NOT be beaten until the next generation launches (yes I seriously believe that), from fire, to water, to sand, from the plot and twists that I truly was shocked to see despite watching so much of the game before release, from the love-able characters all the way to the despise-able villains...

This game is my favourite game this generation and since this is my first generation where I truly feel like i took part in something; Uncharted 3 is the best game I have ever played. E V E R. I realize this is a bold statement, and ofcourse we all have different taste but this simply applies to me; and i wanted to share it. I can't wait for what the future holds. Naughty Dog are the most talented developers on the PS3 in my opinion and I see the Uncharted franchise becoming very very spoken about in the future; as the pinnacle of story telling with great interaction. It really makes Uncharted 2 and MGS4 feel like movies where you barely interact!

The game also had soundtracks with arabic "feel" to them, with arabian language and well.. I am persian, but it was so amazing to see the middle-eastern parts.

I simply had to share my opinions! Keep this a happy topic please, or don't keep this alive at all. Read if you wish.

Thank you Naughty Dog!

Thank you!

I enjoyed the hell out of it too, I have quite a high bar too. UC3 was absolutely amazing and the multiplayer is much improved, the only bad thing? Do they make another one?

That's great that you found U3 to be your favourite, but I still feel like U2 was better. I thought it had better set piece moments, a more interesting story and I've found U3 to be a bit glitchier than U2. It's still an amazing game, but I found it's predecessor to still top it.

Beautiful game but....enemy AI is a little retarded, some animations are jarring, pacing can be a little too slow, everywhere Drake steps, the floor collapses, story is a tad too familiar, gunplay is only average, enemies don't react realistically to being shot or shot at, and platforming is too forgiving. Sometimes, it feels like it's playing itself, too.

Great puzzles, some of the best graphics you can find, halarious characters and amazing dialog, some spectacular set pieces, and great voice acting.....but it's not perfect. I'm playing on Normal and I'm just getting to the part where you meet Elena. I expect it to get better. The second chapter blew away all expectations, too.

About half way through the Campaign it looks great and the script is awesome. I still fell it follows a story formula in the beginning that is to close to uncharted 2. Still I was so impressed with 2's opening and the opening of three is even better. I also think the first half cuts down on the gunplay too much and that the aiming is not as good as 2. Also think the enemy AI is better in this game so overall I say it is only a little worse than 2 because it relies on the similar story formula to open the game.

Its great so far to me the aiming is weird though sensitivity change helped.

DAMN f***ing hell can't wait anymore....made a terrible mistake pre-ordering this game from Amazon UK, shocked to learn its not been dispatched yet...cancelling the order and over to GAME store.

damn dudde I have to wait till Saturday to play the game! thanks for making me feel more shitty!
...
But in all seriousness you got me even more hyped up to play the game! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better set piece moments? I recently replayed UC2 and well..
UC3 has so many more it's just wow. In UC2 the only thing that really stood out for me was the train, the trucks (jumping from truck to truck after Schafer), the Shambala ending where everything collapsed, I suppose.. the truck that you're shooting as soon as you enter Nepal xD... The platform as soon as you enter Shambala... Oh and ofcourse the chopper.

I can tell you over 10 in UC3 that I felt really ..(pardon my language) raped the living hell out of UC2's set pieces. I also LOVED the UC3 story because it had a middle eastern theme to it, the whole Ubar, Iram of the Pillars was my cup of tea :D. Oh and the.. damn the... yeah never mind XD. I really feel UC3 destroyed its predecessor, I really do xP. But each to his own!

To the rest of you:
Glad you're liking it :P. Please share your views when you complete the game!

There will be a UC4 xP. ND said if people want it, we will make it as Uncharted is NOT a trilogy.

Then there's also Sony: Which is not going to give up one of their best franchises (right up with GT and GoW).
