I've been without internet since thursday, so obviously all I have been doing is playing vidyagames. I got the special edition of Uncharted 3 (I swear, this version has the most awesome cover I have ever seen) on friday and beat the game on saturday. The game was great, don't get me wrong, I was absolutely blown away by it on a technical level. However, it felt as if the game played itself a lot of the time and that I was always able to know what was going to happen next. See some cover? I should get behind that, will probably be an ambush. Then the guys throw down some smoke grenades and ambush us. You're climbing up and you see a ventilation thing, or whatever the heck those things are? Better get behind that, because some baddies are going to be shooting you from above. Cracks in the floor? Don't worry, you'll be falling through that in a moment. Then you have various thing you climb on convinently breaking, but not completely and no matter how long you take, it always falls down the second you're off it. I dunno, it all just seemed so predictable, and as if the game didn't need me at all. It was the same with the story, honestly, I was able to predict most of the things that were going to happen, and I was able to see through a lot of the twist. Maybe it was just because most of it was so similar to UC2.

It just felt as if Naughty Dog had focused too much on making it a "cinematic-experienc" than a game, which I guess I don't like. Ironically though, my two favourite parts were purely cinematic: when you are drugged and when you're walking through the desert.

Right after playing through Uncharted 3, I decided to play Batman: Arkham Asylum, which I've had lying around since june, but never bothered to play due to thinking it was going to blow. But I must admit, I found that to be a faaaar more fun game than Uncharted 3, despite being nowhere near as technically impressive. I guess I just like games more than movies, whoda thunk?

I agree with all of the bolded. Those parts of the game were 100% predictable and overused. 

Another flaw I didn't care for was fighting the big bad guys hand-to-hand. How many nut-kicks can one man do in a videogame?

Even with the flaws, this is still one of the best games I've ever played and the different locales featured in the game seemed more adventurous than the ones in UC2. And after thinking about it all day, this is an overall better game than UC2. Mainly because it had 150% more Sully in it.
