How did Uncharted 3 get a 92 metacritic?

Beats the heck out of me. I love Uncharted, Uncharted 2, and Uncharted 4. But 3 is a bit of a mess.

You really hit all the major points. The pacing is off, the focus on clumsy melee is tiring, enemies spawn behind you, the story is recycled, and the aiming and moving is cumbersome.

Plus the final boss battle is a joke. And I don't know who thought walking through the desert for 20 minutes would be fun for the player.

I laughed when I read this actually. Man, what game have YOU played? Because what I played was an awesome gaming experience. I don't analyze things to death I just "experience" it on a dime and take it in immediately. If it works for me within the first 5-15 min I'm usually sold all the way through.

Uncharted 3's overall story and sub characters were not as great as 2's but man oh man the game itself was awesome. The ship graveyard, while doing nothing much for the story actually ends up being the best section ion the entire series. I even doubt Uncharted 4 has a section that will top it but I can't say for now.

Uncharted deserved more than a 92. If Uncharted 2 has a 96, then Uncharted 3 should have been more in the 93-95 range. So far it seems to me Uncharted 4 is definitely the better game so a point or so less than whatever U4 deserves (which to me is probabluy going to end up being in the 94-95 range.)

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

If you treat the game as an experience, or as a cinematic adventure, I can see why you'd enjoy it more than I did.
