why is he the best? it was the same brute fight in melee you've been doing all game long, just longer. nothing to figure out, push a few buttons and win. that's bad game design.

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

Finally finish the game,man what rollercoaster ride for me and drake.Sadly like the rest,UC2 is better. UC3 took one step forward in modeling,cinematics and scripting but one step backwards in camera and the mechanics.
The melee system is terrible,takes much more longer to down enemies.Bring back UC2 or 1's melee system. Too many melee fight scenarios too. Another thing I'm sad there's no supernatural enemies.
Did I mention Cutter and Sully are fuck awesome? UC3 really emphasis the father/son/bros between Drake and Sully.

Hallucinating enemies doesn't count sadly.

Then I saw this image (from ND Forums).
I also recall them vanishing into fog. I don't know if they can be killed?
So, what are they, dudes with funny hats on or some spooky supernatural fellas?

i had to survive and figure out the previous bosses. i had nothing to play with in UC3. it was something to brush aside and move on, very static on top of that. you can't create something memorable like this.

My wife watched me play the first five chapters last night. It was like that commercial on TV where that dude was playing UC2 and his girlfriend thought it was a movie. My wife really enjoyed the cutscenes/cinematics but read a book during the firefights.
Like most people she quickly pointed out all of the absurdities in the game play (the climbing around, getting shot all the time, the amount of people you kill), and then how realistic the game was in the cutscenes. I just shrugged and said, "video games".

The cutscene viewer is apparently coming back, so maybe there is hope for the cheats to do it as well.Defuser said:

Quick question about melee: is anyone else having a problem with melee on stairs (note: only tried this in single player)? It seems like if I'm higher than the opponent, I do a one hit takedown, but if I'm lower than the other person, I can't seem to hit them at all.
It's happened to me twice so far (chapter 12 spoilers):
Not, obviously, game breaking, but I thought it was weird.
It's happened to me twice so far (chapter 12 spoilers):
once in the chateau, after it's on fire, and once during the ship graveyard sequence. The second one was particularly frustrating, because the guy was up one step from me, and every time I tried to attack him, I'd miss. It led to a couple of deaths.

That is pretty much the same as the in first game, which you seem to think was good.

And I love that Cutter appears to be a stereotypical English thug (that you could find in Layer Cake or a Jason Statham film), but turns out he is actually quite knowledgeable about many things. Definitely liked his addition.
Do NOT like the new Elena. Good God, she looks awful.

They pretty much thrown this idea already away in UC2. Harry Flynn was pretty much the Anti-Drake. He cared much more for money and treasure then friends or relationships. Sadly this whole point was ignored threw the game and he became just an unimportant supporting character for the real anti-protagonist of the game.

Really the ending was better? It was the same ending and even the same place (just in the dessert) as UC2, only without a stupid lame end boss. Instead we have a stupid, short, lame and boring end boss.
The bad guys die without being a big thread, the supernatural stuff was just a dream, no interesting aftermath and the whole city gets destroyed because one tower falls down (reminds me of Battlefield Earth).
I'm Playing through chapter 8, and I don't get the gunplay/combat complaints at all. It's a lot of fun.
I do think it's kinda cheesy that If you grab someone while in cover it's always an instant death. I was in a little bunker and got surrounded, and I just flipped everyone over my head.
Also is it me or does your co op partner spoil stealth? I was doing really well at taking bad guys out, and then that British dude totally blew my cover.

You're right. I hadn't thought about that. I guess I just don't like how
Drake left Elena or whatever happened after the wedding, and I wanted a bigger reconciliation between the two at the end

impressions:
slow boring start
crappy boss battle
undeveloped antagonists
random pirate levels
drakes motivation, his marriage to Elena and his relationship with sully was not done terribly well.
great set pieces though and still better than 95% of games on the market.

My biggest issue is the enemy spawn.
If there are 10 guys in an area, and I manage to stealth-kill 7 of them before getting detected. Then there should only be 3 guys left for me to take out, not 3 + a shitload of newly spawned onces.
Might just be that I enjoy the exploration a lot more than the shooting, but it annoys me quite a lot.l

Finished.
I really don't know if this is better of U2 or not, but it's a masterpiece for sure.
One of the best games of the year, one of the best games of this generation.
Enjoyed the story, the firefights, the puzzles, the platforming even the melee towards the end.
One thing i want more is pure exploration, i know the roots of this game are in a cinematic experience, but not to be able to find a hidden/alternative path by myself in such gorgeus ambients is depressing for me.
So another gem in the crown for ND.

I agree completely with all points (just finished this morning). UC2 still my personal favourite mostly due to the setting and set-pieces. This is not far behind though.

Finished it.
The game had a pretty strong Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade current running through it. It was really good, but not nearly as good as Uncharted 2. The melee wasn't that good, seemed like a half-assed version Arkham Asylum/City's. I didn't really notice the issues with shooting. I saw the problem but it didn't really affect me that much (only played on normal though).
When I have time I'll play through it again on crushing. But that could be a long time with school stuff and Skyrim coming.

I think a fight is set to break out regardless of how sneaky you are, in about nearly every stealth encounter. There's a stealth section later in the game, which has about 7 or 8 guards you can take out stealthily, but then there are two guards at a door that won't move from their posts. You can kill one, but sure enough, as soon as you do something, the real fight breaks out.
Kind of annoying if you ask me. Go through the trouble of sneaking around to kill a bunch of people, but despite all your effort, an equal amount of enemies, if not more, are going to pop out anyways.
are there areas that you could completely stealth through? I didn't really try for any of the areas because the maps are pretty small, some of the maps after the midway point
makes sense
, but I usually find myself in a really terrible position if I got too far ahead after taking out a few enemies with stealth, so if I fail the rest would rush me and I might not find a cover quick enough to take out the rest.
Edit: that asian steelbook is kind of good because it costs the same as the normal game version I think, so it's kind of like an alternative.
like the boat
because there were water to hide in

For me, this game really highlighted that this treasure hunting genre is actually really awful for storytelling. A lot of storytelling time gets wasted on boilerplate historical BS, which doesn't have much relevance to the characters of the game.
I'd like to see ND make a James Bond -like game. It could use every game mechanic of UC, except maybe not so much puzzles. Benefit would be that plotting could be more relevant to actual story telling and modern day concerns in general, leading to a more relevant overall story with less time wasted on things that are pretty unrelated to characters.

I really can't recall any section where you take out more than two or three dudes in stealth mode, then move on. I think all the big sections with guys roaming around and Drake saying "okay, let's do this quietly" always end up in a firefight. The only sections I can think of are like going through a hall way, and you can take out a guy in stealth, but if you fuck up, they're just going to start shooting, no one else shows up.

Right after the whole rocket launcher thing and you're alone with Charlie. You can take down seven guys without triggering anything.

Is there more info on this? Have tried doing an Internet search and couldn't find anything solid.
Was really bummed to find that I couldn't replay a cut scene. They do all that work to do them and then not let you easily replay them? Anyway mostly just wanted to do it as I was playing the game a cutscene happened, had to leave the tv for a quick moment, then came back and had no idea of what had just happened. Looked through the menus and all I could find was some gallery and treasures I'd found.
