Uncharted is light hearted, but becomes dark as the story is better paced. The only game where the story started out dark is Uncharted 3. Uncharted 2 was had twists and turns in the story that kept people on the edge of their seat. Tomb Raider has built upon what Uncharted built for itself, but it isnt refined at all. Responses to shotgun fire is ungodly from the ai, Ive got a guy in the face three times. It literally took three shots. The Guards are rip offs of Uncharted and are actually dumber. The models of the characters are very limited, so certain people who played certain roles like Laras first kill resurfaces again, and again and again and again like an ungodly glitch. I had no problem shooting him in the face again, but it was just annoying. The characters are not likeable....they story was definitely wanting. Laras injuries and movement are not believable for three days on an island with life threatening injury with a bar. This game has so much to critique in retrospect. |
I stopped at Uncharted being dark. That is laughable.
No really I continued reading and I disagree with you completely. Some characters were meant ot be unlikable while othhers was. It was built to have a complex plot to show you how she becomes a Tomb Raider so it needed diverse roles which we got.
The animations are superb so Im not even going to get into that, and I can say the same about uncharted about shooting people multiple times with a shotgun. Not to mention grenades.
Yes Lara had got stabbed which she later dissinfects and passes out. Also lets not forget how many times we have seen drake maraculously live through things that he shouldn't have.
And as for the copy cat things that you mention, this is exactly what I was talking about with hardcore sony fans. They try to downplay Tomb Raider simply because they are similar to one another. Let's not forget that Uncharted was also similar to Tomb Raider before Tomb Raider was similar to Uncharted. There is also a ton of differences betweent the two to make them unique in their own ways.
