Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

This game should NEVER be put on hold!

LOL you are so right my man. I plugged this in yesterday and the misses came to sit on the sofa next to me and said," What movie is this? It looks like it's going to be good".

I thought both of those parts dragged on WAY TOO LONG. I was starting to get pissed just walking around the desert ...I was also hoping that the plane level was longer, because that whole sequence was pretty incredible.

Spoiler

I freaking LOVED those two scenes! Both are easily top ten in my UC moments.

But then again, my favorite episode of House was the one with the bus accident. I guess that kinda stuff is just my cup of tea. To each his own.

I wouldn't have complained if the scenes were even longer.

Loved the game but I felt like the ending was kind of weaker compared to the first two.

I can think of a lot of people who love that episode (assuming you're talking about "House's Head").

As for UC3, it just doesn't feel like it belongs in a video game is all... or at least, not in the sense that it is the reason for wanting to play it/enjoying it.

Looks like I'll get back into the multiplayer now.

When does this patch release?

Yes, I believe we are referring to the same episode. That's the one that starts out with the stripper, correct?

This bit confused me. You felt they were well integrated into the video game, or you felt they were cool, but are better suited in a movie and ultimately took away from your UC3 experience?

Mmmhmmm.

The latter. I just wanted to be vague in my post because I did it from a location where I couldn't include spoiler tags (that or I did it wrong when I tried it). Now that I can use them...

Spoiler

It's one thing if it's like MGS 4 and they just want to show you an entire lengthy sequence of what happens since the plane crash and all, but they are making you control the guy through sequences where you have to move at his slow pace, and there is literally nothing to find. Technically, if there are treasures along the way that I didn't see, this would nullify the "pointlessness" of having control of your character.

Anyway, the way I see it. the problem is that I look at things in hindsight. I knew how many chapters were in the game going into playing it, so I felt like this was a "waste" of a chapter. It's like when Family Guy has incredibly long show tunes or something... you sit there and say "They took out time where they could have put in other material," when they probably didn't have any other material to put in, which was the reason for the show tune.

Either way, it was probably the weirdest gaming experience I had ever endured. When seeing that part in the first trailer, I always wondered how they were going to make a gameplay experience out of it. I guess now I know how.

They said later this month, so there's no set date

If my memory is correct I believe there was a treasure during the desert scene

There was. Either way, I LOVED that we were still in control... felt like it was actually happening. One of the coolest moments in vide games (along with a couple others in UC3), that I can remember in a long time. Brilliantly done IMO opinion, and I wouldn't have changed a thing about it.

This probably didn't need a spoiler tag, but MGS 4 means Metal Gear Solid 4? If so, is this a must play and which console is it on?

See, I completely agree with you on Family Guy show tunes. In fact, you articulated exactly what I say in my mind when this happens. But that sentiment doesn't translate for me in regards to the UC3 scenes. I like 'trippy' if it's sophisticated and thought provoking in the process. Interactivity isn't essential for me, but I can see how over a 6-9 campaign, others may want a greater hands on type of payoff. I just personally don't need that.

Blzer,

See DickDalewood's post. I couldn't have said it better myself. But I totally understand where you are coming from.

Re: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

I just started playing this a few days ago. I don't know why I waited so long.

I'm not too far into the game. I just finished the chapter in where you get to the jungle in France.

But the whole scene with:

Spoiler

The mansion burning was amazing

No other game, that I have played has that type of action and beauty. Half way through everything I could hardly hold on to the controller because my hands were so sweaty.
