Real Time Strategy.

Seems legit

Imo Uncharted can be defined as a TPS or as an action/shooter, it's TPS however most of the time. Portal for example is more fitting in under the category of adventure/platformer.

Well at least you didn't call it an FPS, but Portal is imo a puzzle game

It follows the typical Sony strategy: Jack of all trades, master of none. You can't put it in one genre, because it incorporates many different things. Looking at its individual parts, it can't seriouly compete with games that have a more focused approach, but in the sum it works.


Pretty controversional, we need the stewards (I mean moderators) to give you a warning, your intention is to badmouth a particular game.

Oh god, get over it already.

Yes, of course it can also be considered a puzzle game.



A third person action adventure shooter.



it's as much an action/adventure, as the Metroid Prime games are FPSs, and Warcraft 3 and Zelda are RPGs

LOL it kinda looks like morenoingrato was right..cuz surely this can't be serious. but its fine..I'm kinda bored now so I'll bite :D

you see, you are STILL in a terrible position. you said master of none yet you can't even name a single new TPS experiences yet alone have played the UC series...hence you talked out of your ass with nothing to back up your claim.

unlike you (it seems) I do play games from all genre and all systems..growing up platforming games were what I had to play the most :S I can't even remember the names but almost all past mario games, sonic games, R&C, Viewtiful Joe etc etc were some franchises I have played, from the top of my head. even this gen, i have played nsmb, Dk, LBP, shank, SMG1, R&C etc. I only have a ps3/psp/ds combo but I have access to wiis and 360s whenver I want them. hence I have played all Halo games and Gears 1 and 2 this gen. So I do have a good idea of what I'm talking about. not sure where this 'i tend to avoid' accusation comes from..out of your ass again I presume? or any proper reason why?

btw..have you even played GTA and POP games? the recent ones? cuz you CAN fall and they don't 'correct' your direction. you do need to time and precise. not even sure what you are talking about there. it's just different type of platforming with different aim. doesn't mean it's 'casual' geez >_>

your whole argument has fallen into a ok fine it might be master of somethings but im sure it's not for platforming but even that not sure cuz i have no clue about the franchise scenario. which is kinda sad..you should have just left it failing at being witty (you really should leave that to people like badgenome, lately you seem to try too hard). you have nothing to back up your original claim..and doubt you ever will.

oh and the example i used of xx game belonging to genre a and also b bit..don't take it too litterally. was just random genre i put there. i'm sure you are smart enough (hopefully) to get the point

i HOPE you would at least try and give a good proper answer to this with good to the point examples. if not, please don't waste time

Gears of War, that's the game all TPS are judged against nowadays.

The accusation is based on your outspoken dislike of Nintendo games. Besides, anyone who has played plenty of platformers in their life knows that the modern Tomb Raider and PoP games have watered down platforming. Nobody who looks for platforming gives these games a serious consideration. Yes, you can fall in these games, but the timing and precision needed to get past the platforming sections is anything but strict and the PoP game from 2008 is even accused of playing itself. You can also miss your target in a shooter with heavy auto-aim, but that doesn't mean that the assistance the game gives you doesn't exist or that such a shooter is equally as demanding as a shooter with no auto-aim. What we are talking about here isn't even a gray zone, the platforming in TR and PoP is vastly inferior to proper platformers, period.

I don't bow out of arguments by pretending that I made a joke when I wasn't. That would be dishonorable.

You should type what you mean instead of putting something out there and letting people guess what you might have meant. A mistake like typing GTA instead of TR... well, that one anybody can figure based on the context of the previous posts. But if you inject new points into a discussion you better make sure that they are coherent.

As for giving a good proper answer, this requirement is kinda hard to meet going by your standards. You tend to shrug off points you don't like by saying "I won't go there/don't waste my time/you don't know what you are talking about" instead of giving even the slightest bit of explanation why that is.


>_> are you even trying?

by speaking of saying things in a clear manner, what do you mean by gears of war? have you played the series? if so at least to your half baked knoweldge of UC, where does it fall behind as a tps?

you don't bow out of arguments...cuz you had none, just a baseless comment in a failed attempt to be funny..no honor is involved there, just shame at being lame

being clueless is your thing it seems...you jumped into accusations even without knowing anything properly..again. but hey, what else is new from ya :P i am outspoken about wii...don't like the system or the games on it..imho one of the worst consoles i have ever seen..but that's due to personal preference...i own and love my ds, have mentioned it many times too. get your facts straight. going by your post history i should have jumped to conclusion you were attempting a failed trolling attempt against sony..but i just merely guessed its you failing at being witty as usual instead.

speaking of coherent points..where did you pull out your 'facts' about games you haven't played? out of your ass? please be coherent about this

pop in 2008 sucked, that's fo sure. BUT have you played those games? 0_o honestly, just like with uc..doesn't sound like it.

you made a statement, s0 stop being childish and put forth proper arguments without failing to be funny as you usually do. your standards of failing and running away should be kept aside at least for once. it is kinda sad...even for you. so tell me...what are the reasons, behind your initial statement. you haven't played the game, you have no experience in games like that either.

as with nintendo and their support for their systems...you can't support your claims :) just run around with excuses. typical. i won't respond again (busy day today, wish you had replied yesterday instead of taking a whole day to get back, was a boring and relatively free day) unless you have any other point besides whoops i pulled some made up assumption out of my ass in an attempt to be funny like badgenome and failed hard and now trying to cover for being so lame by running around saying more things dragged out ass, and no facts whatsoever. since i doubt you will (I mean hell, you comment on a game you haven't even played lol so never expected one anyways, was just bored) so good day rol..may you be funny again someday without trying so hard...to someone..hopefully

You had the time to write all of this, but somehow couldn't be bothered to actually address the portion about platforming in video games. Your initial complaint was that you would like to have a proper discussion about various aspects of a game, but judging from your reply above you don't seem to have any interest in this. Instead you slide off into personal attack territory for the most part.

This is what I was speaking of in the final paragraph of my previous post. I can't possibly meet your requirements of a good and proper response, because it doesn't look like you even want to give me such a chance. You also talk about time constraints, but for one, there's no real time limit for discussions on a forum and this exchange of words right here could go all week long without problems and two, you had the time to type the above reply which is just one long repeat of "you don't know what you are talking about". If you had time for this, then there surely is also the time to talk about platforming in video games.

sigh

not a single 'fact' in your reply again.

I asked you if you had played the pop games that you are criticizing...looks like you haven't.. all you have is she says he says..it has been said that etc nonsense. how can I discuss any points with you when you haven't played the games at all? 0_o what kind of deluded world are you living in. go play the games before making stupid baseless statements geez.

you whole master of none comment has now boiled down to wait i don't know jack about uncharted OR even games similar to it so im gonna stick to a genre i am kinda familar with..platformers (even if tho I am familiar with certain types of platforming only). so you admit you were full of it with your initial statement?

In uncharted you can fall, you are not 'auto corrected' and Platforming is a KEY part of combat..especially apparent in its MP. it's not 'easy' to utilize it properly. using platforming efficiently and properly could decide which side has an advantage over the other for example.also platforming is important in stealth modes. alsp platforming is VERY important in team objective matches, the better you are at it...the better your team will be.

i can't stoop to your level of taking facts out of your ass to talk about a game i haven't even played before. i won't hit a low point like that. tho you already have. don't run away from questions...i asked you if you have played the pop games and if you have PLAYED Gears. and to tell us WHY exactly you don't think uncharted is master of 'none'..but alas being who you are you are incapable of it aren't ya? or just tell me..in a clear manner ..uncharted is master of 'none' because......

the things I said about you aren't 'insults' at least not meant to be... it's just how it is :) the sooner you man up, admit you were full of it..and move on, the better. but I doubt you are such a person. trying to be funny and witty and all that is fine..even if you fail...but dragging it beyond that is just sad of you..but expected.
