Two years after Thieves, Uncharted’s gameplay mechanics and conventions are no longer dated they’re borderline archaic.ĭrake and sidekick Victor Sullivan cross deserts, seas, and continents in search of “the Atlantis of the desert.” The game’s dialogue, written by series writer Amy Hennig, is often funny and poignant. In Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, the story still zips and characters are still conflicted, but targeting is as twitchy as ever, bad guys still require three or four shotgun blasts to the head before they’re deterred, and the game’s star, Nathan Drake, still has no clue whatsoever about how to crouch. Its zippy storyline and witty, conflicted characters proved potent enough to make gamers forgive what were, even then, outdated gameplay mechanics. Case in point: the success of 2009’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Epic went on record saying they were making it easier for the masses so I don't know why this point is even being argued.Ĭheck my profile for those that think I haven't played it. I played it on hardcore out of the gate and I was shocked and how I blew through it.

I didn't play UC3 yet but I will tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt Gears 3 was the easiest one in the series so far. UC3 is a 1st day must buy no brainer for me. These devs and publishers have to earn my money or else it's Gamefly. Personally I will always choose quality over PR and marketing. If garbage like this becomes accepted in this industry all are going to start taking the easy way out and we will be left with nothing but rinse and repeat titles with no innovation or ingenuity. What a waste of bandwidth and a slap in the face of a developer like Naughty Dog that is one of the few left that put so much time, money and thought into their craft instead of relying on rehashing low budget projects and placing their real efforts into marketing and PR departments. Well they have succeeded at that and only that.Īnyone that agrees with this review is just a hater and nothing more. I am calling it a trash review because it has next to no substance, non informative and read like a fanboy rant looking to entice people to give them attention. Metacritic is worse than this trash review. There have been dozen of better written reviews than this garbage and meta turns a blind eye to those sources.

Meta couldn't add this horrid review fast enough to UC3 overall score. The saddest part is people always use metacritic as a point of reference yet they cherry pick what reviews they allow into their average. Boody-Bandit 3722d ago (Edited 3722d ago )
