Posted April 1, 2013 Hey guys, just wanted your opinions on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. This is the first in the Uncharted series and I am yet to play 2 and 3, but this first outing is so frustrating. Enemies take a ridiculous amount of bullets to die, repeating waves upon waves of enemies to kill, clumsy controls in platforming and physical combat is atrocious. I've just finished the jet ski level which was also ridiculous. Jet skiing up a downward stream, with you having to control the jet ski (awful, awful controls there) as well as shooting enemies? I meant, WTF? Then the game throws those silly exploding barrels at you to make life even more frustrating. Now, I don't mind a challenge but this game is just downright frustrating. I've heard the series does improve, but does anyone else share these thoughts on the fist game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They only get more spectacular. Play the second installment and then stop, unless you only want more of the same with slightly prettier graphics. Games are quite good but still overrated. ReZ and dwarf will probably rape kill me now. Edited April 1, 2013 by drahkon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 I found the combat really frustrating in the first game and much better in the sequels - plus the mix between platforming and combat is much better. No idea what Dr4khon is on about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 Yeah, the first was pretty average for the most part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 I really enjoyed the first, but its no comparison to the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 2 was brilliant. I cant really decide which I disliked more though, 1 or 3. Probably liked 3 the least I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 2>1>>>>GA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3 I really don't like the third game, they cocked up the aiming and the level design was just bad for the most part. They have thankfully patched in new aiming to make it more like the second game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 I didn't notice any difference in the aiming. I pointed at people and shot them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 I dont remember the specifics but I know I didnt like the aiming either. 3 also had stupid difficulty spikes. I ended up just putting it on the easiest settings so I could finish the story then traded it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 Glad I'm not the only one that felt the Uncharted series is overrated. Don't think I'll bother persisting with the series. I've just finished the first and its frustrated me more than any other game this generation (maybe in my whole gaming experience). Surprised as it seemed like my cup of tea. There is a decent game underneath, just coated in too many niggling gameplay mechanics, clumsy controls, shite aiming and platforming lol. Disappointing. I'm hoping Tomb Raider doesn't let me down now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 You should try sticking with it. It would be like watching Star Wars Episode 1 and not watching the rest based on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2013 None of the Uncharted games would make it into my gaming top 10 but 2 should be played purely for the spectacle. 3 has provided immense multiplayer moments to its credit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 2, 2013 Uncharted 2 fixes the controls and mechanics which are an issue to some in the 1st game. You'll be missing out on why people love the series if you don't try the sequel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 2, 2013 Stealth Bastard coming to PS3 and Vita this summer The game boasts brilliantly crisp visuals, an abundance of character, tight controls and a steady difficulty curve that gradually ramps up across 80 levels, spread over eight unique worlds. Additional features such as un-lockable gadgets, speedrun leaderboards and a level editor gives the game unlimited replay value! With stages taking anywhere between 30 seconds and 10 minutes to complete, plus tons of secrets to discover, we think our game will really be coming home for PS3 and PS Vita! This is all very exciting! But there’s more… we’d like to present our fans with an opportunity to be a part of Stealth B**tard’s journey to PlayStation. We want to rename Stealth B**tard to something less profane… it’s just too rude! We therefore want you to have a go at naming the PlayStation versions – if you think you’ve got the perfect profanity-free solution to our naughty title, we want to hear from you! If you’ve got a great idea for a new title, head on over to our site and submit it to us! If you suggest the winning name, we’ll give you a spot in the credits, a copy of the game when it’s finished, and we’ll throw in a PS Vita as well! Not bad, eh?!

Yeah I remember this being something that was mentioned at launch due to their new modelling of how shots left the chamber or something. Good to hear they did patch it. Personally didn't notice much difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah once im finished downloading the Injustice demo I'm gonna get Okami. Might have to leave it going overnight though as its just over 6 gigs. One of those games I always heard was great but I never got round to playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 6, 2013 Just finished God of War, really enjoyed it despite never really being a fan of the series (played chains of olympus before) Really epic game considering the lack of technical omph. Pours cold water over those who said the Wii could never do "epic" when this is basically running on the same generation of tech. Final boss reminded me of power rangers lol.
