Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Chapter 18 has got to be the best "scripted" moment for me so far. Though it's short, everything that happened was just magnificent to watch and play through.

Chapter 16 was also the first time I ever got upset at the game. It actually felt cheap the way everyone was coming at me.

*Some minor spoilers and big ones are covered with spoiler tags*

Well I finished it in about 13 hours. Only got 57 trophies but that's OK. I'm happy with the game from an overall standpoint. I'd probably give it an 85. I love the character Nathan Drake and the stories Naughty Dog tells but I still feel they have gone too far and taken away too much control from the user. UC3 did more story telling than before and it just felt like I didn't have enough control. The open worlds and boards of UC1 that allowed you to take your time, explore for treasures and get into a lot of gun fights is still my favourite. Personally I found treasure hunting to be the most fun in UC1 with UC3 next and the frustrating UC2 definitely last.

I did like the melee system in UC3 but at times it felt forced with bad guys swarming you in the middle of a gunfight. Even more funny was how you could brawl in the middle of a bullet storm and usually end up fine. That stood out as goofy. So did the big firearm enemies in the game as they barely hurt you but you couldn't kill them either unless you had a bazooka. The pull the grenade on the bad guy and watch him die move was fun.

I liked how you never had to use stealth but it also seemed as there wasn't a lot of opportunities to use it. I would have liked to use it a little bit more but that's probably an area that is impossible to please everyone. One of my favourite boards was fighting on the ships and being able to swim in the water and sneak up on guys. I got busted pretty early but I liked that board.

I thought the running sequences were pretty cool and they were fun because you could die. Most of the time the platforming in the series could get a little stale because there was almost no risk factor. That was one reason I hated the opening of UC2 when climbing up the train. There was no way to fail. It might as well have been a cut scene. In UC3 they just made those things cut scenes.

A quick comment on the difficulty. I've always played this series on Normal and it's usually the most fun for me. I'm not the best shooter. UC3 felt too easy most of the time, particularly the first half, with some frustratingly difficult sections later on. I wouldn't have minded them as much if it was just regular bad guys but oodles of snipers and long range bad guys pissed me off at times.

As for the story:

Spoiler

Overall I had fun but I don't know if I'll play through it again. I may in the future but I'm going to lend it to a friend at work and then sell it.

Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

My brother-in-law has a PS3 because I just can't give up my xbox. Anyway, Drake's Deception when it came on..instant boner! No Homo! The graphics in this game are amazing. We only played for 4 hours so we din't really get into the "meat" of the story.

I really can't pick out pro's and con's for this game. However, the only thing that bother me is the combat when approached by several enemies at once. When you engage one of them the others just kinda stand around and wait. But really that's the only major thing I saw in 4 hours of playing

Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Finished this baby off on the weekend. I enjoyed the story but I was disappointed with the lack of puzzles in the second half of the story. I was shocked how easy the ending was compated to UC2. I must have died a 100 times completing the final battle in UC2.

I hear you. I beat the game this weekend on normal (11 Hours) and I thoroughly enjoyed the game from start to finish. The ending was a bit easy compared to UC2 but the game was really fun to play. Looking forward to the PSVita version of UC.

Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Aiming to be tweaked in upcoming patch.

Hurrah! Perhaps I'll hold off on finishing the rest of the campaign until this drops.

It's quite awesome that ND went to neogaf and chose a select few that we're reporting the issue to test this upcoming patch.

I agree, these cutscenes are nothing compared to MGS2's cutscenes and even codecs where every few steps you would take another codec strikes.

Wow this is so true. The cut scenes in MGS was really way out there.

Yes great news. The main reason why I have stopped playing this game. Once the patch drops I will drop right back to it.

Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

I finally have the game. Ashamed it took me this long to pick it up.

Played co-op for about five hours last night with a friend. Brought back memories of UC2 when we'd stay up until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning (when I had to wake up at 6:30 for work) playing co-op and online.

Will start digging into single player Friday, and multiplayer after that.

The graphics and color were wowing me right away. Beautiful, beautiful game.

Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

I just made my way through the boat area and am at 66% completion. I'm hoping to finish the game up this weekend when I get back from my trip.
