I agree.
95% of games have crap stories. The games that try to put emphasis on story like Gears of war 2 and Uncharted are the worst offenders...cause they often neglect gamplay to tell a semi retarded story.
Of course there are exceptions. MGS1, MGS3, Chrono Trigger, Shenmue, Condemned...etc. |
I absolutely disagree, Uncharted has great cut scenes & a decent story, definetely not "worst offenders"
Game like HAZE are worst offenders, as the devs HYPED up its story a bit pre-release & the rest is history.

While I respect your opinion, story in Uncharted 1 did not deliver a single new idea to its audience. Its a rip off from various movies, games and other forms of medium. Dead Space is another one.
Gears 2 is another mess. Hiring voice actors to deliver those lines hurts my ears.
But stories are always subjective. Soomeone that has not played Tomb Raider, or seen indiana jones movies or hasn't read Davinci Code would think the story is pretty kick ass in Uncharted.

Something doesn't have to be new to be good. Uncharted really impressed me as a game.
That being said, is the story really deep and original? No. But does it need to be? No.

Along the same lines as silicon, It sounds like what your saying is a little mixed up. You started by saying uncharted was one of the worst offenders for bad story telling, then later on you go onto say that its not the story that was bad, but that the story was unoriginal. A story can still be great even if its a carbon copy of other movies/game, its all in how its delivered and acted, and in my opinion uncharted did it wonderfully.

No, the story of uncharted is horible. I never said it was "ok". Its uninteresting, unoriginal and too holywood for its own good. I remember when I was a kid and I thought Independance Day was an awesome movie. Well uncharted will appeal to that crowd.
I'd rather have a less polished story that is original and that tries for something that has substance...Trying something new and failing is 10 times better than ripping off ideas and being a really polished mediocre story across the board.
A game like Dead Rising has a much better story "for a game" than Uncharted IMO. Characters are original, voice acting is memorable and no one needs to be the wisecrackin cowboy hero.
