Wyatt Fossett: "I’m not against the GOTY antics at all, in fact I own quite a few GOTY titles based purely on the fact that you get everything in one bundle. The issue that has started to creep up these last few months is that the developers are starting to give people an excuse to NOT buy their hit AAA titles on release date. Something like Uncharted 3, or Batman: Arkham City is going to be a GOTY contender and a lot of the runners up release GOTY editions regardless of who wins the overall race. Consumers can assume that these brilliant games will eventually breed GOTY editions and to that end, may postpone their purchase until the complete package comes out."
Humble Bundle has just released its new bundle that brings together eight popular Batman games. With every purchase of this bundle, you will be supporting the charity of your choice.
Wow. That is so cheap, but I know I personally already have all the games in the list. haha. I guess I should have waited.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has a lot to live up to as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is an incredible and near-perfect game.
I cant even say what the point was its easily the worst story in the series. The online was a whole lot of fun though but overall doesn't come even close to 2
Villains were all over the place in this… one second they wanted Drake dead, the next they needed him, then they want him dead again, then they coulda killed him, but poisoned his friend instead, then coulda shot him again, but had brunch with him, then needed him alive, then coulda mowed him down, but decided to kill him by fire and let him escape… Uncharted 2 was way better. 😅😅
This was actually my least favorite in the series. Didn't have that same impact that part 2 set.
Uncharted 2 is the pinnacle of the series (to me).
Granted, 4 had the best story in my opinion, but 2 was the overall best game.
A decade after its release, how does Uncharted 3 fare today? Does its story still work? Was its precursor’s legacy a bedrock or quicksand for its own aspirations?
When arguably the weakest game in the series is still awesome and more fun than most games today, you know you're onto a winner!
They had to make some weird choices as far as story went because the actor for Cutter had to bail which left a few holes in the story.
Uncharted is one of my favourite series and while the leap from 2 to 3 was not nearly as big as the leap from 1 to 2, I think it was an amazing experience none the less.
I really liked part 3 ( Among Thieves is still the best in my opinion) My only complaint was the interactions with the villains and how they were a missed opportunity, Linda MacMahon (Marlowe) was an interesting antagonist due to the history with Sully and Nate but it fails basically flat especially with her ending. And I couldn't care about Navaro 2.0.
What I did love and made me care was Cutter, in the short time he was in the game you could feel that the guy was a good treasure hunter for example when he pulled his own notebook with the clues he founds so the team can escape a room.
It was a small touch that add a lot to the character.
I have mixed feelings on the series. I still own all of them on the PS3, and the collection for PS4, but I didn't truly "love" any of the games until 4.
They're good games, but they always stumble on some element.
The first is good, but the climbing mechanics weren't exactly fine tuned with the first showing. Not to mention the spongey enemies if you played on anything past normal; but you're then faced with a fairly unchallenging game experience.
The second mostly fixed the climbing, but added in a pretty clumsy stealth mechanic.
Three was just two with a new story.
Four got it right though.
I don't remember once getting annoyed by any mechanic had in the game.
I know that everyone has a soft spot for 2, and 3 is sort of the black sheep of the series; but they did, overall, get progressively better. Which doesn't always happen.
GOTY=give more money.
GOTY"trend"only this generation......sad:(
Next-gen maybe terrible....this point....
sigh...i cant even sell my launch arkham city for a fair price because i already redeemed the catwoman dlc. compared to the goty edition it seems almost worthless.
Most goty editions are for games that don't even win any significant gotys. One tiny website gives a game the xbox fighter of the year or something ridiculous and publishers go crazy with it.
