Sure I know what you mean, Uncharted is based on blockbuster adventure, mainstream "popcorn" movies. And you could call it trivial, sure it's light-hearted and doesn't even try to feel real (The Last of Us does that). Although I would argue, that they tried to raise some more serious matters especially in Uncharted 3, and to an extent Uncharted 2, like for example: what drives Drake to this fortune hunting, how far will he go to reach his goals, what makes him different from the antagonists, it also brings such topics like trust, love, friendship, human endurance. But yeah the overall feel of the game, mostly because of Drake's personality, which is humorous and light-hearted, but the stories aren't all that trivial. I guess it's also a matter of personal preference. It looks that you like those epic, fantasy settings that are more about heroism, sacrifice, fraternity, fighting the evil. As much as I like both TES games (although my 550 hours IV & V combined is peanuts compared to yours *_*) and LotR I also didn't necessarily get this emotionally engaging feel in the long run, those were just playing on different emotions while they lasted. That's at least how I feel. |
Glad you understand.
Yeah, I'm a sucker for epic stuff and all those words you listed.
It sure is personal preference. The epic fantasy stuff doesn't resonate with all people either.
550 hours on Elder Scrolls 4&5 is awesome. Do you spend big hours on many other games too?
