Well I'm sure you've heard about Uncharted by now, how it's "the game to own on PS3" and how it "sets a new standard in visuals." Well I want to tell you that all of that is true
First of all, if you have an HDtv capable of 720p you'll be pleased. I was amazed at the lighting of the jungles, the responsiveness of flora (flowers sway past you as you walk through them), and the animations are second to none. So yeah, visuals are great.
But so what, right? What about the game itself? Well the game delivers there as well. In fact, I felt like I was playing a movie. The production is so well done and the voice acting is just as good. The controls are okay. There are moments where you'll mistakenly fall off a ledge due to the controls but they're not frequent. The gameplay-a combination of both the controls and the responsiveness of the enemy AI-works very well. Except the enemies still don't die easily. Seriously, there are like 2 guns that kill guys with one shot. Everything else takes quite a few rounds. I shot one guy 10 times with the standard pistol and he still lived. I couldn't stop laughing. A better route would have been to limit ammo and put more of an emphasis on being accurate as opposed to requiring you to shoot someone upwards of 10x to get a kill
Also the gun shot sounds are not all that great. They sound somewhat flat. I would've liked for an AK to sound off like one. For a shotgun blast to sound like one. The grenade sound effects are, however, very well done
The puzzles in the game are just wayyy too easy. Seriously, you just look in your little book. C'mon Naughty Dog. Make us work for it. You don't have a bunch of toddlers playing your game. I would have enjoyed something more in-depth. Maybe require the gamer to do a little thinking.
The game receives a lot of criticism for its length but I thought it was actually the perfect length for a game: not too long but not in the rental category. I recommend this game to ANYONE that owns a PS3.
November 19 marks 15 years since the release of the Uncharted game that started it all.
I hope they don’t make another until the end of the ps5 lifecycle…. Show us a better jungle
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."
KeenGamer: "Which Uncharted game is the best? Uncharted is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking and consistently great franchises in gaming. For both long-time fans and newcomers to this action-adventure classic, here’s a ranking of the franchise’s four main games."
No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.
UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita
Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.
U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.
I'd rate it as the following.
1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)
2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)
3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)
4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)
I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.
uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.
I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.
I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.
Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.
is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?
