Uncharted 3 |OT| All Developers Dream, But Not Equally

I've got to say, at first the aiming really frustrated me but now I am adapting and the game is really blowing me away.
All of the little details are just so amazing.
The melee is brilliant, super fun to play and even with the cinematic camera angles you never get disoriented. I love using the environment or pulling the pin on a guys grenade and then pushing him into a group of enemies, f-ing awesome! I also knocked out a guy carrying a pistol while I was unarmed and when I did the gun flew up in the air. I instinctively hit triangle and Drake caught the pistol midair and I started shooting the next guy down the hallway. Really awesome little touch there!
Just all the little details are so perfect! Probably the thing that sticks with me the most is walking through a narrow cavern and Drake turned his face to the camera and grimaced, I don't know why but this just really struck me. Really, really cool game!

this game is pretty buggy. my brother just watched me play 20 minutes and we saw a lot of janky shit go down. it crashed and froze aswell, for the second time.
He's talking about the forced walking.StuBurns said:

They seemingly got married after 2. Then broke up because of Nate still being "married" to adventure (hence Elena's comment about him still wearing his ring and pointing at Francis Drake's one, and the ending with Nate replacing it with the wedding ring).
EDIT:
It's annoying, but the game is more than worth playing anyway.spats said:
Hopefully it will be patched soon (holding out my Crushing run for this).

I think most will get used to it eventually, by chapter 7 the aiming felt like second nature to me.spats said:

Yea UC2 seems to have improved on that, also some AIs in UC3 seems to have similar god like detection as UC1 where they know where you are behind walls, I think those
tanks or whatever they were with the gatling guns were like that in the sandstorm, even when you're miles away and running behind walls, they'd just spam the shots and follows you, lol
Contrary to some people here I really like the first chapters. But I'm now at the end of chapter 8 and the last ones disappointed me. Hope it takes off after that as I can really see what some reviewers complained about. It's not that I don't enjoy it, but there's a clear sense of deja vu.

Can someone comment on my question here (Chapter 5 spoiler)
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=32412065&postcount=6596
Is it just gameplay contrivance or is there some logic behind it?

The only question is: Music in Ch.2. The best ever, or bestest ever?Meisadragon said:

OK, I'm going through Uncharted 2 just to make sure I'm not crazy in saying that the combat in U3 is annoying, and it's immediately apparent when I loaded up Chapter 4: The Dig that the enemy hit reactions are way better in U2. You can actually use the pistol to great effect because guys flinch, and show effects of getting hit almost immediately. The diagonal aiming also feel WAY more smooth than U3. I need to get to the most hectic shootouts to really confirm what I feel about U3 though.

You did? Am I the only not satisfied with the ending ?
I think this is actually intentional. The game lives up to its subtitle by playing with your expectations and then deceiving you.marc^o^ said:
I really liked how several plot points were kept a bit subtle, instead of being smashed in your face.Kagari said:
It's especially noticeable in the first half of the game. The second half seems closer to UC2 instead.thetrin said:

Now I really regret having my volume so low all the time. I have to, though, because I'm trying not to spoil my roommate who is about to start playing the game, and our TVs are both in the same room. :\StuBurns said:

. Good shit.
view it from a perspective so that the body parts line up

I still think the encounters in UC2 were better. I don't know why, but despite the heavy reliance on cover, UC3 either doesn't give you enough cover, or enemies rush you from behind, forcing you to stay mobile.
I don't mind that, but enemies seem to spawn behind you with almost ridiculous frequency, making cover near useless near the end of the game. Not that it matters, because the game doesn't give you any useful cover in some situations, and you have to run and gun to get rid of people that can one shot you from behind.
It's a weird change from UC2. I don't remember having to do that a whole lot before.
My favorite puzzle in the whole game. Considering how inventive it was, I kind of wished there had been more puzzles in the game. I'm in Chapter 19, and I haven't encountered a puzzle in a LONG time.revolverjgw said:

I think being able to start an encounter with stealth is great, but I wish soldiers had a caution phase. The minute someone notices me, even if I punch him out quietly, everyone knows I'm there suddenly.
I realize it's meant to be a compromise considering enemies won't notice bodies (iirc), but it's a bit jarring coming from DXHR and Metal Gear, and having all hell break loose the second one person says "what was that?"

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
It's like the developers flipped the "stop being lame and start being fun" switch at Chapter 10. Every single little thing about the game at this point is significantly better than everything played so far (except a few highs).

Just finished it. While Uncharted 2 was amazing, this one was just epic in terms of set pieces and locations. I liked the more serious and personal direction of the story too. Now if only ND can fix the annoyance with the aiming, it would be perfect. Took me 2/3 of the game to get used to it.
