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.
By that definition the big elephant in every room about gaming topics (COD) wouldn't be overrated when it's surely the contrary. Hype is the enemy of the industry right now. It's the reason so many people were duped into pre-ordering Watch_Dogs, Assasin's Creed Unity and The Order 1886.
Not exactly my friend. 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.
....You've never been on a gaming forum before, have you? :/ I've seen many praise all 3 titles as amazing stand-alone experiences time and time again on multiple forums in the past, and also from the mouths of the people I know and have previously known. It's been said countless times, you just need to go where it is actually discussed.
