Here are my random thoughts on the game. Yeah its late. Dont like it, dont read it. 

 

- Opening Fight scene is cool and shows off the much improved hand to hand combat

- Enemy A.I is highly improved over the first 2 games, and only second to Killzone

- Lazarevi is still the best Uncharted Villain IMO

- Going back in time to play as young Nathan Drake was really, really cool. 

- The pacing at the beginning isnt very good. Seems slow paced and boring for the first few chapters.

- In addition to slower pacing, it seems its unbalanced as well... With very few shoot outs to start with, and LOTS of puzzles up until Chapter 11. Then after that, theres almost no puzzles. The action REALLY picks up from there. The graphics on later chapters also seem much better than the graphics in the first few levels.

- Ship Wreck and Cruising for a Bruising are two of the most epic, incredible levels in ANY GAME EVER.... and Ive played a lot of games from NES all the way up to this generation.

- The ending is way too similar to U2. With a collapsing hidden city. Wayyyyy to much like U2. 

- The Sand.... looks.... so good.

- Audio is the best in the series. The guns sound nice, unlike the first 2 games. 

- More selection of guns than the first 2. 

- More variety of enemies. 

- Story wise... was hoping for a bit more. No mention of Cutter or Chloe at the end either. 

- End Boss fight seemed like a cop out. 

 

OVERALL: Good, but not better than U2. Some parts are amazing but it wasnt as well put together as the first two games. The pacing is off up until the mid-chapters. Still a very enjoyable experience. Cant wait until Uncharted 4 on PS4. 

 

 

Nice post!

I agree on almost all the points you made

Your summary at the end also hits the nail on the head!!! Great stuff.

Sadly I have not even finished the game...I got to about 95% through then my old PS3 got the YLOD. When i got a new one, I never felt the urge to get back into it. The game just doesnt do it for me...ive played through U1 countless times, and almost as much times through U2, but U3 messed up some where. Still a good game, and worth atleast a 1 or 2 playthroughs.

But yeah main issues I had was how it was all put together, pacing, and the revamped shooting mechanics.

In fact when I did decide to get back into it...i played it for about an hour then I put U1 and started playing it...i played through about half the game AGAIN before i knew it. After that got right back into U2 as well...
