Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception

[cutmymilk]

I bought this on Saturday but havent had chance to play yet - ESTYN week at work! All these negative comments are bumming me out a little!

[Flabio]

It's not negative in a 'this game sucks!' sense. Just a 'the previous one was better' sense.

Still well worth a play, and I think it's worth it just for the opening London part to be honest. So rare to see London done in a videogame without it resorting to all the clich?s.

I thought the bar at the beggining looked more like Ireland than London. and the moon was too big, this game is rubbish~

You clearly don't drink in dodgy North London dives like I sometimes do then... hehe.

Whats this update 1.01 for?

Edit: That Sony Simulview TV it seems...

Edit 2: Rather than bump this I though I'd just add that I have now finished the game and whilst it was certainly worth playing and enjoyable, the final few chapters reflected my previous comments - more gunfights, no puzzles and a few small jumping around bits. To my mind the story ended a little abruptly too: the whole

"the water is spiked"

seemed a bit lazy and

Drake didn't seem particularly surprised to see Sully wasn't really dead.

Also, no

mutants/supernatural stuff this time round

?

Oh and I remembered something else that was peeing me off - sometimes I can press triangle and chuck back grenades, other times the option just does not appear.

This game feels like its been done by a different dev...Its uncharted but there's just so many little things that just aren't right. The combat, the aimimg, the movement, the camera, the collisions all just feel a bit off compared to uncharted 2

I starting to convince myself this has been done by naughty dogs B team while the A team is on something new. Either that or this game could have done with another 6 month polish

Its in no way a bad game but its not the dizzy heights of uncharted 2 for, which just makes it disappointing.

It's incredibly short took, only too a few days to complete and I wasn't even playing this exclusivley.

It starts out great but in the end became a disapointment.

[Sketcz]

Have they finally patched the aiming so it works? ND promised a patch to fix things a while back. Is that what update 1.01 does?

See my link to ND website a few posts above.

Completed it on Hard last night, with an overall time of just over 10 hours. I think Uncharted 2 took me about 12 hours on Normal if I recall correctly but I wouldn't class Uncharted 3 as short.

->Open Spoiler<-

The Chateau escape, Capsizing ship & Inferno plane were standout sections but there were so many other well done moments.

Overall it is my favourite game of the year so far, just pipping Portal 2 & the Ico/SotC collection but I've yet to get stuck in to Batman/Battlefield/CoD & the years other notable releases - not getting Skyrim, I just won't ever have the time to play it. At no point was I frustrated with the aiming or think it a hinderance but I can see why it bothered some - definitely the movement is off somewhat. When I tested it after reading all the posts about it, it was clear I could move Up/Left & Down/Right without issue but Up/Right & Down/Left were slow to react & that was without firing or anything so, recoil wasn't a factor. That said, I genuinely didn't have a problem getting through the game. Sure I died a fair bit in the big shoot_outs but I expected that as I was playing on Hard but it was never so frequent that it was frustrating. If anything, I honestly thought I was getting headshots from distance much easier in the second half of the game - probably just the case that there was so many more enemies, I was bound to noticeable rack up more of them. Still a 10/10 for me. Loved it. Can't wait for Uncharted on Vita.

Love the series but for me the aiming is out some what and I feel that number two has the edge on this. Once completed I will possibly change my mind, a strong 8.

Finished this earlier. Sheer quality!!

Some nice twists

->Open Spoiler<-

Sully "dying" had me shouting at the TV!!

and the ending was very well paced.

Best game I've played all year but then I never expected anything less!

This is a quality title. I just can't believe how good the visuals are, but somehow I feel a bit more detatched from Drake, than I did in UC2. I can't quite explain it, but it feels more film than game.

I want to be careful not to sound overly critical, this is awesome, but there is something I can't put my finger on, almost feel like I am being pushed down a route and even though that is normal for this sort of game, the ilusion of choice is a bit lacking. Feels more like I am watching a film, rather than beating a game. (If that makes any sense at all!)

Visually I am amazed, how they managed this on PS3 is incredible!
