Uncharted 3 is better than 2

The shooting and moving mechanics in Uncharted were never strong points tbh and I didn't feel 3's mechanics to be any better or worse than 2. The melee combat in Uncharted 2 is also very clumsy but unlike 3 its also visually unsatisfying, Lazaravic wasn't a terribly exciting boss fight either, the story in 2 was predictable throughout while 3 had some nice plot twists that were interesting. I agree with those scripted movement sequences and Uncharted 3 has many other glaring flaws but everything considered its better than 2 to me.

Both UC2 and UC3 had pretty bad melee mechanics but the advantage UC2 has over UC3 is that they never force you to use melee (except for one instance). UC3 shoved those crappy melee fights down my throat until I threw up.

I know I'm in the minority but I loved the Lazaravic fight, it was tense, suspenseful and a great climax to the game. The other points are a matter of preferences but to me Nepal and Shambala were far superior to that boring desert and Ubar. I did dig the capsizing ship though!

UC3 suffers a lot when it comes to pacing there are parts that drag on and on. I also liked the plot to UC2 better, Chloe was a great character and I loved what see brought to the game, she was underused in UC3.

Truck is wise. 

That's exactly it. Melee became such a focus of the game, and I've no idea why. It just wasn't fun.

I agree about the Lazarevic fight too. It was a solid end boss battle. The one in 3 was a bunch of QTEs. It just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I also agree about the plot and characters. Chloe was criminally underused in UC3, and the will-they-won't-they thing with Nate and Elena had been done TWO times before.
