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 :)

You do realize Uncharted is pretty much an homage to action movies the like of indiana jones and such? It has to be in your face, it's an action adventure, not a suspense, crime mystery. The game was also meant to be linear, for the story's sake, it was never showcased as a explorative single player.

I do think it is best to judge for yourself though, play through all of it and then you can really give your opinion on it, good or bad. I think most people don't mind if a gamer doesn't like a game once they have played it all the way through but trashing a game without so much as playing it is just a diservice. It rubs anyone the wrong way.
