Forums - Sony - Why is Uncharted 2 so good

The game is good only the first time you play (except for some parts, like the train and the car chase). After that, it gets really annoying and pointless repeating the same scripted actions over and over again.

Yeah.  It was a hell of a ride that first time through.  I only beat it once and tried to play it again but couldn't.  I never tried the multi-player, though.  But since games like that are sorta my favorite genre (which is why I go gaga for a game like Enslaved), I didn't mind.  I got my money's worth.

To sum it up in one sentence, low expectations. If you saw a movie with a story like Uncharted at the theatre, chances are you wouldn't buy the DVD.


The expectations were extremely high, I don't know what industry you've been following...

The story in Uncharted 2 is as good, if not better than every other Hollywood adventure blockbuster. Once again, I don't know what industry you've been following, because nearly every smash hit movie to come out in the last ten years has an abysmal storyline. People bought Avatar, Transformers, Twilight and The Expendables, so I can't see why anyone wouldn't buy a movie with Uncharted 2's storyline.

Big words for Uncharted... Anyway im about to go to bed so like I will say this one thing.

Nathan Drake gets shot between 50 and 20,000 times depending on how good you are. One bullet actually does any damage to him. To actually call something which has that abberation in it a good storyline would require a childlike suspension of disbelief. Im pretty sure if Dora the explorer was a big budget game, a lot of people could call it the 2nd best story behind Uncharted 2.

I think the story might have been so good that you actually forgot that it was a game as well.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

oh really, now we're nitpicking video games using real life logic?? in that case 95% games have the same "aberration": they're all fictional.

so what Nathan Drake gets shot at alot and live, so does every single character in any single game that involves gunplay other than Operation Flashpoint. If you take the story canonically then Nathan Drake does not suppose to get shot by these bullets at all (e.g. eye of Indra), but you don't watch it, you play it, its a shooter game and thats how shooter games play out.

Edit: Like CGI said we all know you're distasteful of Sony games, and you're entitled to your own opinion, but at least don't make comments that are overly absurd and trollish, "low expectations", seriously?? after the string of awards it won at both E3 and GamesCon???

LOL!!! so that means all video game story are crap cause they arn't like "real life"?

finally the truth! so uuhhh why are yous playing video games again? go out there in the real world and get shot looking for treasure then or join the military and join the war against real terrorist then instead of playing video games and critisize it for not being like real life.

If uncharted 2 story is bad that means 90% of games out there are just plain pathetic story wise.

what story impresses? COD? halo? GTA? LMAO!

So what? Games don't need stories to be good.



Above: still the best game of the year.

So we are hating on Uncharted 2 because the story isn't realistic enough? We should all ditch it and go play Gears of War or Killzone instead because their story are more realistic-

I could have sworn these were video games so "realism" is not at the forefront of their drive.

I love Uncharted 2 and class it as my favourite game this generation.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Some people can't accept that Uncharted is soooooooooooooooo good.

ROFL

Raters get out... the question is "Why is Uncharted 2 so good?"



Mummelmann on 09 November 2010

The story isn't all that but from a sheer tech and gameplay standpoint it is immensely good. The voice acting and characters are also brilliant imo. All in all, the best PS3 game I've ever played by far.

I agree that the Uncharted (especially Uncharted 2) series doesn't have the most memorable storyline, but then again, that's not what it was aiming for. It's how the story is told, the way the game seamlessly (again, especially with Uncharted 2) bridges gameplay to cutscene. It was meant to trigger emotions, attach you to the characters, and be a technical showcase for the PS3 (all the while being gripping and fun to play).

Both games stood up to those challenges.


Now now nathan got shot more than 1000 times in the game the story is  crap because its not like real life you know it!!!!!

LOL!
