And when I said that it wasnt excelling at anything, I meant that Uncharted didnt do anything that was better than every other games when it comes to gameplay. For a game that has so many ppl saying that its the best game ever, you would expect it to have something in the gameplay that is either unique or done better than any other games. But instead, everytime I hear arguments on why Uncharted is such a great game, all I always hear is ''great story, awsome graphics, great actors'' and they all seem to give UC3 a pass for its rediculously short campaign, the aiming that is average at best and the fact that not only UC3 in my opinion didnt add anything new when compared to UC2 (except for the multiplayer improvments) it failed to fix alot of problems present since UC1 like the climbing when you jump where your not suposed to for some stupid reason and that you die not because you fell from somewhere rly high but because your character landed somewhere where you were not supposed to go. I remember in UC2, when I was on a roof and I wasnt sure where i was supposed to go, I saw a other roof and i thought to myself ''I can make that jump'', so I succesfully jumped from 1 roof to the other, but I died because that wasnt where I was supposed to go despite the fact that ive seen Drake do jumps way more impressive than this one lol. Those are the kind of problems I had in UC1 and still had in UC3... Also, did Naughty Dog make any changes to the enemies AI between UC1 and UC3, cause I dont think ive ever seen a big difference.
But trust me, I LOVED UC2, but I guess because of that, UC3 gave me a bitter taste in my mouth when it comes to this franchise. Yes Naughty Dog made 3 rly good games, but I believe that most gamers instead of praising the game like its the holy grail of gaming (have you seen IGN's greg miller's review... gosh) gamers should talk more about these issues because those are the issues that in my opinion will always prevent a good franchise from being great. Lets all stop letting ourselves getting brainwashed by what this franchise has that makes great movies like actors and cinematics with non-stop action (super mario galaxy had non of that and in my opinion is 1 of the few true masterpiece of this generation) and lets focus on gameplay.
And now, the fact that Naughty Dog is talking about how theyr focus for Last of Us is cinematics and storytelling, I fear that history will repeat itself and that despite all of this the game will still be praised for the wrong reasons exactly like Uncharted. |
Uncharted most certanly doesnt have ''ridicilously short campaign''. Their UC 2 campaign is actualy longer than Mario, Donkey Kong, COD, Halo, Alan Wake and LOTS of other action games. I mean, I know its fun to hate on Uncharted now because it reached mainstream popularity, but geez, at least come up with justifying reasons. Aiming is not medicore, it may be to you, but thats not a fact, just an opinnion, learn to aim better. AS for ''addng anything new'' Mulitplayer saw GIGANTIC improvments, than there is also split screen, 3D, and very improved co-op. As for SP campaign, they completly renovated melee combat, they added more to stealth, they improved shooting combat and platforming also saw some tweaks. And AI in UC3 is MUCH different than the AI in 1 and 2. Go actually compare it. IS it much? Not really, but it certanly brings more to the table than your yearly 2D Mario, COD, Halo or Assasins Creed by now.
