Forums - Sony - Just beat Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for the PS3...just wow!!!

Uncharted is amazing and every PS3 owner should play it. Much like another November title, Valkyria Chronicles.

I don't get how everyone keeps raving on about Uncharted! I thought the game was VERY repetitive!...The environments however look astounding!

This game was truly amazing. I beat the game on Normal mode. I don't have trophies for this game because I took the game save from my other PSN ID. So I wasn't able to carrying over any of the trophies. But I did complete the game.

Throughout my experience with the game. The graphics are outstanding. I just can't help but to see Naughty Dog put so much effort in this game and to see it truly first hand is an amazing experience.

The sound is like my favorite part of the game. From the gun shots to the players actually doing the sequences and everything. THe story how it played out was confusing at most. But being on the quest with Nate looking for the treasure that Francis....oops nevermind I won't spoil the story. But let's just say it was a weird twist.lol

The characters are attaching. Nate, Elena and Sully truly had me feel like I was with them throughout the whole experience. The puzzles within the game weren't all that hard. There was some that were difficult but all it took was some backtracking or just trying to figure out the ins and outs of the game. The majority of the time the puzzles fit in without any frustration. The plat forming segments are awesome. There are some hard ones but, kinda trial and error but overall you will like them.

The controls were spot on. The only gripe I must say is the cover system could use some work. I was expecting some more fluid but Uncharted has a somewhat similar cover system like Gears of War and I like it. It's just I wish Nate could sprint a little faster or had a button for him to sprint quicker. Other than that I did die a couple of times. I mean miss jumps or deaths caused by me not knowing or covering right were all part of the experience. I did have some moments where I was like "huh?"

But other than that, my time with the game was truly fun. I did about 2 hours per day on the game or a little lower than that. I spent about a month on the game.lol Just because I have all three current generation consoles. So I tried to equal all play time. My cousin DMeisterJ has been bugging me about the game and he will get it now. I will let him borrow it so you can hear his insight. But I plan to play this game again sometime next year. To get the trophies.

It was a short game kinda. But the plot and the gameplay just pulled me in. I could care less if it was a short game in reviewers minds. I tired my best to extend the gameplay by searching around for the treasures. But I gave up because the trophies wouldn't show up on my PSN ID because I was using a different save.lol

I recommend any PS3 owner or future PS3 owner who hasn't or thinking about getting this game to GET IT!

It's an experience that deserves not to be missed. Hell I would put it as one of the best games of all time. Because Naughty Dog developed something I would have never thought they could do. I always thought they were good at platform. But seeing this game. They have potential on other genres.

Replay Value can be extended if you want the trophies. You should just play through the game on Normal to get a feel for it, then up the difficulty on Expert to get that trophy.

Question: Is Sony or Naughty Dog planning to make a sequel?

I thought you were biased against the PS3 from alot of the posts i see you make.

Well anyways, damn glad ya liked it but i've still yet to try this awesome game.

It NEVER drop's Below 50 Dollars Damnit! >_>

Plz don't come in here pimping VC.

It is completely off topic.

I will be forced to report you.

Freaking amazing game. The twist at the end made it so much more Indiana Jones. I can hardly wait for the sequel.

Yeah, it's a great game. I'm actually half way through replaying it now.

But! it does have plenty of flaws.

- It's linear to the point of death. Literally: if you dare stray from the preselected path, Drake auto-dies. It looks so bizarre for him to die when he drops two feet onto a patch of ground the game doesn't want you to touch.

- The boss fight at the end. Ouch. It was just so terrible

- Technical issues. It suffers from major screen-tearing and texture popin.

- Enemies all look the same. I wish they'd used a few more character models for the enemies.

- The cover system. Whilst it works well most of the time, there are some points where you can't move where you want too whilst remaining stuck to the cover. For example: you can't move around a corner whilst remaining stuck to a wall.

- Too much shooting, IMO. Needed moar adventuring/exploring, and less shooting.


Still, hopefuly these'll be fixed in Uncharted 2. ^_^

Well, the screen tearing isn't THAT bad and the texture pops only happen dring beginning of stages when the game is loading, it handles popping much better than UE3 games.

I really wouldn't say the technical issues are that much of a issue, especially since (from a technical standpoint) ahead of so many other games, from loading, animation and visuals.

 

 

lol fixed.

Agreed though. And considering the early date of release and not having an install (except for trophy patch etc.) these really minor issues are easily forgivable

 

err yeah. Glad you fixed that, it was a typo on my end. lulz.



I dunno. I'm replaying through the game now, and the screen-tearing gets really bad at times, especially when you're near the sea. And the texture pop-in can be distracting, especially when it suddenly occurs half way through a level.



The texture popping is there. I hate it when after a cutscene it just pops up. You can see the textures come in like every second. It's annoying but you get used to it after awhile.
