So I just borrowed and finished both Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 3 and I can't count the times how frustrated I got due to inane stupid game design. I'm still gonna play UC2 as that one's widely heralded as the best in the series though.

The biggest problem is the "fancy" CGI (which looks like crap now) and the fact that everything in the game is s-l-o-w. The text, the walking, everything.

The official site is here: http://www.3ddotgameheroes.com/hallofheroes/. The bad news is that the only sort method they have for almost 40 pages of characters is 'by date', and there is no search functionality (though you can do a site search through Google). On the bright side, it is fun to just page through all the characters and see some of the crazier ones. Looks like they've trimmed off all the licensed content, so I guess I'll have to hang onto my pre-purge Sir Batman.

The complaints about 1 are pretty consistent across everyone's playthroughs, but what were your specific issues with 3? I'm not saying there aren't any; just curious what yours were. Between the 3, I thought the 3rd had the best overall design.

Uncharted 3 was the worst of the series for me. The plot went full-on grimdark and had none of the charm the first one had, the battle setpieces were worse than in the first game and the pacing was all over the place - there's no platforming or puzzle-solving during the last half of the game. The latter was the only thing I liked about it since I've always thought combat was the only thing Uncharted's gameplay was good at.

Orzo posted:What is the consensus around here on Uncharted 3? I recently rented and beat the game and to be honest, I thought it was pretty bad. The gameplay is generally pretty boring, the game holds your hand through the entire game, the climbing sequences are almost always linear and impossible to lose at. I cannot fathom how it got so many amazing reviews, I feel like I'm missing something. I thought the 3rd was pretty weak myself whether it was from the initial aiming problems, to the sloppy encounter design, to the sloppy narrative. It also annoyed me that enemies just sometimes did not react to being shot at all. I just felt like 1 and 2 were much better, although 3 was passable.

How can you tell if your PS3 is PS2 backwards compatible? Mine is a PAL fat 80gb model. I don't think it is, but the system menu has an option for virtual PS2 memory cards, so I'm not certain.

I played through the Uncharted series this weekend and UC2 and UC3 were equally awesome. It really seems like people are reaching for anything negative to say about the game, as if they really want to dislike it for some reason. They'll find a single example of a fault and apply it to the game as a whole, or say something completely retarded like "too linear" as if that's inherently a flaw (or somehow different from the previous two). Or they just really suck at the game and therefore blame the game instead of themselves despite almost nobody else running into the same issues as them (which is not limited to Uncharted 3).

Understand that I paid $60 for the game new. It is idiotic for me to want to pay that much money just to hate a game. No, I was genuinely disappointed after playing through and beating said game. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and I feel that my complaints are valid despite other people enjoying it or having no problems at all with it. I got a game full of sequences that seem to rather show me a movie than actually give me my freedom to deviate from the plan. One of the major setpieces in the game is simply beating up a dude, hitting a button and then climbing and taking cover while waiting, and the chase sequences started to wear thin after about the 2nd one. blackguy32 fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Jan 18, 2012 |

I think the most depressing thing about Uncharted 3 is that so many people talk about the game as if it's only a singleplayer experience, completely ignoring the fact that is has absolutely amazing online co-op and competitive gameplay modes.

Three PS3 games I want in the next three months: Never Dead: You're immortal. Also a Dick. I think it's the apocalypse. Your body parts come off and you can attach your arms to your head and shoot demons. Holy poo poo. Binary Domain: Robots evolve to a point where they believe they are every bit as alive as humans. Sounds like Blade Runner! Maybe it will feature a philosophical quandary about what constitutes being alive! Nah, it looks like you're part of a crew of humans that blasts those stupid robots to a hell they never qualified to go to. I think the guy who created Yakuza is behind this. Yakuza of the Dead: It's Yakuza but with zombies. Buy this! MelvinTheJerk fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Jan 18, 2012 |

Uncharted 3's real crime was taking out single player unlocks, thus eliminating any reason to go back and replay the game or find treasures.

I wanted to enjoy the game, I thought the first two were pretty decent and kept waiting for the third one to get good. And it certainly wasn't too difficult, there were only a few spots that I can recall dying more than once at, and they were pretty quick. I don't know if you're referring to my post when you quote 'too linear', but seriously, you actually enjoyed the climbing sequences? In almost every climbing situation, there are no decisions to be made--you just jump from this pole to the next one, then climb up 5 stones (they don't even break, unlike Uncharted 2 iirc), then shimmy across a thing, and tada! You did it! The game treats the player like an idiot.

Shalinor posted:It may be the first Yakuza game I buy, depending. Don't buy this as your first Yakuza game. I say this because it's a wonderful series and this game as your first will give you the worst impression of the series. Yakuza of the Dead is a stupid zombie game for fans of the series and at worst fans of zombies. It's not even a brawler. Here's my suggestion to you: Buy Yakuza 4. There's a thing in there that does a truly great job of catching you up on the previous games. Watch all of that then play through 4. Once you've done that and you're now a fan, then get Yakuza of the Dead. Seriously, Yakuza 4 is an incredible game.

blackguy32 posted:Listen to this man, and if you have a PS2, buy Yakuza 2. Yes! Yakuza 1 doesn't hold up gameplay wise, but the story is important. Yakuza 2 is one of the very best PS2 games ever made. Absolutely worth playing, though kind of rare. Yakuza 2 is notable for how insanely over the top the badassness gets. Yakuza 3 scratched an itch, but Yakuza 4 is just so much better in every regard that I just suggest people skip it and go from 2 to 4. But yes, 2 is such an incredible game that if it's possible you MUST play it. Preferably as your first Yakuza game.

MelvinTheJerk posted:Yes! Yakuza 2: You invade a Japanese castle that splits open to reveal a solid gold Japanese castle full of samurai warriors who you gun down with an MG42. Then you punch two tigers to death. This is just something that happens in the middle of the game. If you don't play any other Yakuza games, play Yakuza 4. If you want to play Yakuza 3, play Yakuza 2 first, as Yakuza 3 takes a long time to get going and can get boring if you're not already invested in the series. If you want to PUNCH TWO loving TIGERS IN THEIR FACES BECAUSE YOU'RE GODDAMN loving KIRYU KAZUMA, then play Yakuza 2, because it's so good.

I played the 360 version and the game is okay. Its actually deeper than at first blush where it just appears to be a standard third person lite-RPG. One thing I really didn't like about it though was the camera, it just felt too close and is too easy to run around hitting enemies and lose view of yourself/enemies.
