I'm a bit skeptical. I put down Uncharted 2 after a couple hours and everyone was crowing about how awesome that game was

I hear you man. Uncharted wasn't a very good series to me. Glorious (and varied!) visuals aside, the exploration was crap. The gunplay was oh-so-tedious... Wave after wave of identical goons - oh wait! Here comes a guy in armour, I hope I have a grenade left! And the story gets praised as if it's some miracle, but it's too in-your-face to me - not subtle enough.

I understand why someone wouldn't like it. Gameplay wise it just wasn't very good. Gears of War shat on it gameplay wise. When I was nearing the end of Uncharted 3 (for reference, I played all 3), I just wanted the damn thing to end. Even worse, all three games used the same story model and the extreme twists and turns were off-putting to say the least.

That said, I still enjoyed the series, and would still rate Uncarted 1/2/3 with scores of 8/8/7.

All in all, I feel ND are slightly overrated. If those were 3rd party games then they wouldn't nearly have as much of a following.

Nevertheless, I'm going to get TLOU on PS4 (haven't played it yet!) and play it with an open mind. Too many people have said good things about it. I think, with expectations and hype kept in check, it might just be worth the money.

My 10 cents :)

Good overhype is never good.to much hype is never good.

Make your own decision !
