For better or worse, Uncharted is a blatant copy of Tomb Raider.

And that's pretty much how I see things, too.  I don't know when things changed but, when I was younger, I WANTED more games to be like the games I loved.  When I became a fan of Double Dragon, I loved playing games like Renegade, Streets of Rage, or Final Fight.  When I liked Gradius, games like Axelay, Mag Max, and Thunderforce were welcome in my library.  I used to go from Mario Kart 64 to Crash Team Racing without a second thought.  Nowadays, people see two games of a similar genre and suddenly "Game X makes Game Y look like total shit!"

Why is everybody so threatened these days?  

For everybody that somehow couldn't tell, this wasn't a serious thread (but as the saying goes, "a lot of truth is said in jest".).  I can't wait to play both Tomb Raider and Uncharted in the near future.  The more the merrier, I say.

People are threatened now a days because they feel too much brand or fan loyalty towards something. They feel if they defend their favorite brand or favorite game hard enough,it somehow fills this void or they'll get cookies from the brand or game they're defending.

 

All Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo fans do this. Everyone has done this at least once in their gaming life,however some people can never stop doing it.

 

I like both Tomb Raider(have since it was created) and Uncharted(to an extent). I like the Tomb Raider franchise more than Uncharted,but I won't call the games bad because of that, you know?

Good post. It's quite sad
