| Platforming: Press X to proceed. Puzzles: Press SELECT and just do what it says there. No brains required. Shooter: Boring, enemies coming from one direction only. Typical duck and cover. Wolverine health bar system. ------------- Story: Generic, and shamelessly formulaic for over 3 games, not that the first game was original anyway. Characters: Bland, can be funny, but not always. Setting: Not impressive minus few exceptions, but compared to Tomb Raider scenery, nothing much. The reason I've never picked up The Last of Us is my great distrust for Naughty Dog fanboys' praise for mediocrity. |

| Yes. I like it, but yes. Still better than the new Tomb Raider, though. |
| I disagree. While the new tomb raider has its flaws (mainly being closer to Uncharted than the TR series I loved (Anniversary franchise), it was still more enjoyable. First, the bow system was hella fun, I felt the need to actually be stealthy, and like I said above, in many cases, it's not always enemies coming at you from one side. Like in Shanty Town, the more you move in, the more boxed in you'll feel. I liked the Lost-vibe of Supernatural, that wasn't Zombies. Japanese mythology was a nice touch as well. The settings were unique but felt connected still. |

| Oh hell yes, it also doesn't help that I can't stand Drake. I only played the first two games but I didn't enjoy them at all. The puzzles are extremely easy and the story is like a made for T.V. movie. It actually reminded me of The Librarian which was awful. Very overrated series, imo. IGN loves to hype it up like it's the greatest game ever made. The last Tomb Raider was fine, those Samurai statues were pretty awesome. I still think Tomb Raider 2 was the best one. |

| Uncharted is a very average third person shooter. And by average I mean that it doesn't really try to implement any exciting ideas or gameplay concepts. It's still a pretty fun franchise, even if it arguably gets too much praise. As for Last of Us, it's really good, but people who call it the best game of all time are usually huge CoD fans (not that being a CoD fan means one has bad taste, most simply don't have a lot of exposure to different genres and games is all). |

Hipsters call it the best game ever. The same hipsters who call District 9 the best movie ever. People who think social progression belongs in games. |
| You don't have to be a hipster to enjoy The Last of US.... It was a good game, much better than last years game of the year Dragon Age Inq. I replayed Last of Us a couple of times one of the few times I've done that for a game like that. I think it's one of those games that you have to like the story to really enjoy. It's very story driven, and the plot was actually good for a change. Most of these try-hard AAA games try to WOW you with visuals but always lack on plot. If anything the ones that seem like hipsters are the ones hating on this game because it's popular. |
|
| Overrated but still fun. The real overrated shit is the Last of Us |
 |
| Uncharted isn't bad, it's just nothing special except for the graphics. The gameplay is average I guess. |

| It's alright, nothing special. |
 |
| This guy again and Uncharted... -.- |
| Yes it is, in my opinion. I've played all 3 of the games and achieved the platinum trophy for each of them. I did enjoy them, I wouldn't have bothered playing through each game twice if I didn't, but they definitely don't deserve all the praise they get. As you said, they literally give you the answer to the puzzles if you sit idle long enough, the story is just your standard Indiana Jones stuff and the gameplay is extremely average. The Last of Us is a lot better though. Still not amazing by any means, but I'd recommend it to just about anyone. The story did actually manage to get me emotional, which is something video games rarely do. |

kingatomsk said: Max Payne 3 became my favorite third-person shooter after I got used to the weight of movement and learned to move more. I try not to stick to cover for too long. I played it twice on the standard difficulty and then kept replaying it on progressively higher difficulties until I finished the highest. The carry system is awesome. I also like the tone of the story. I'd like Rockstar to tell more serious stories like that instead of all those over the top comedic dramas. The music was great.The original Max Payne games... well, I have a love-hate relationship with the first two games. I hated the third one due to Max moving like a slowpoke, plus the addition of the cover system. Putting those two elements together mean that using bullet time in more populated encounters was a huge risk as opposed to sticking to covers, which I didn't like the slightest. And the story? It blows. |
| I never got into the game series only because it never had a PC port. I love adventure games like Tomb Raider which obviously share many similarities with Uncharted. I would believe it if the game was severely overrated as from the various lengthy play-throughs I've seen I can already agree that the characters alone are undeveloped, which is something I believe to be really important for the hero character in an adventure story. |
| sort of. |

| I was enjoying Uncharted 2 well enough until the boss battle against Draza. He has nothing covering his face but can apparently just deflect bullets with his eyeballs or something. I started to fight him and managed to get almost a full round of headshots as he ran up to me. I would have been quite proud at my uncanny accuracy if it weren't for the fact that it did nothing. In the end I messed up one of the QTE's and had to start the fight again. That time I beat him easily by just running up to him and chasing him over the train until I could go hand-to-hand. The rest of that game was ok but that fight was a joke. |

| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |
| Not at all. If you can make sequel after sequel and have people still call them amazing even as stand-alone titles instead of just "continuations", how can you deny it's brilliance? I'd say it lives up to it's hype/reputation and then some. |
 |
| I've been hearing news that Naughty Dog will remaster Uncharted 1-3 after 4 is released. Totally gonna get those. Anyway, at least try The Last of Us, it may not be the best shit ever that extreme fanboys say but at least it was great.. objectively. No really. |

| I could not get into this game series at all. The setting didn't interest me nor did any of the characters. |

| No. |
| Yeah it is, at least as far as gameplay goes. I like the series, but I play it more for the awesome storyline. |
| Kind of, i mean 1 is fun, 2 was really good but i wouldnt call it great, 3 was mediocre as fuck, 4 looks pretty good. I was always more of an insomniac and sucker punch guy than naughty dog, I even think rahcet and clank(with the exception of the first game) and sly cooper hold up way better than jak and daxter did. I also enjoyed the infamous trilogy and rahcet and clank future games to hold significantly more impact than uncharted and last of us did |

Like I mentioned earlier, each Uncharted game is seen as an amazing stand-alone title by themselves each, where as Call of Duty is more or less seen as a franchise as a whole rather than people talking and praising about each game in particular, not to mention the masses pretty much label each sequel as the game before it but with "more guns" and prettier graphics. |

I've just played through the trilogy last week which was my second time since I first got it 2 years ago. I've never seen anybody online praise the first one and that's a good thing because there was too much wrong with it. -Throwing grenades were tits on shoulders stupid. -Platforming was still rough and unresponsive -Final boss was a wash -Most memorable moment in the game was the German U-boat then it's downhill from there. -Puzzles were 2nd Grade level logic I do hear people praise Uncharted 2 however and I can see why it fixed a lot and the plot was slightly more interesting than the first but nothing revolutionary. Puzzles didn't get any better but the "cinematic interactive scenes" were more intense. As for 3....it has great multiplayer and most of the time if I ask what they liked about 3 they bring up the multiplayer. The single player declined after Drake's origin was done being told. Besides if it actually did deliver on hype the E3 demos wouldn't have been so graphically different from the final product. |

Fine I'm above "proving cred" and we're almost off topic. The fact is Naughty Dog has a lot of overrated games lately since cinematic games are on the rise in priority over gameplay. Not to mention Uncharted didn't have much competition. The success mostly sits with ND being competent developers from the golden years so they have a better understanding on how to make a game with each element standing out but sadly that used to be the bare necessities for AAA games. Now The Last of Us comes out and people think it's innovative to have areas that are fleshed out and can be explored with incentive to explore embedded in gameplay mechanics. This is called real game design and the AAA industry has been starved by it for so long it seemed like a second coming. |

kingatomsk said: SlimCognito said: since cinematic games are on the rise in priority over gameplay I see what you're saying, but still... http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/the-order-1886 Yeah that did happen but it'll be about a year or so until everybody stops trying to get a piece of the Naughty Dog cinematic pie. Remember how many COD clones there were? Remember how many 3D platformers there were after Mario 64's design? The industry has always been copy what sells. The Order fell short because of rushed development which is more fault on the producers and publishers not the developers. Still the game was bad in terms of value. |

I was talking about the opinions of the majority. Your opinion is irrelevant and has nothing to do with my point, which you have somehow missed, unfortunately :/ |
