Amazing Game. Good ending. Need I say more other than GET THIS GAME!!!
Yeah, I'm sorry to say that the combat in this one is really not very enjoyable at all. You're either forced into boring, QTE-esque fisticuffs or surrounded from all angles by bullet sponge enemies that are hard to hit due to stiff aiming controls.Thrakier said:
I'm not trying to pick on the game or find problems, but these issues jump out at you right from the beginning and don't go away. I literally dread gunfights in this one, whereas I loved them in U2. I dunno, U3 really feels like their main priority was creating a movie-like experience that grants you very little leeway. U2 followed that template as well, but it just felt like a much smoother experience.

It does feel like the game was rushed. It pissed me off every time I spotted a seam in the geometry (mostly in chapter 2) and whenever Drake would reach out to touch anything he was close to.... even though he wouldn't actually touch it.
Besides the aiming, haven't noticed anything to groan about since chapter 2.

I don't ever recall Uncharted 1 getting a patch that changed it's aiming.

Aim assist needs a toggle. FIX THIS NAUGHTY DOG.

I'm almost 100% sure you're imagining this, or thinking of KZ2. Pretty sure the only thing that was ever patched in UC1 was the addition of trophies.Spasm said:

Played up to chapter 19 - daaaaamn this game is good. Still prefer U2 overall but this comes very, very close to matching it. Also love the different approach Naughty Dog take with each game. This one is far more deliberate, slower paced, builds the story through stronger narration and longer lulls between action. Have been on a media blackout so aside from the Chateau I hadn't really seen anything before playing - I'm glad as it's been a pretty awesome ride.
Gonna take a break and then polish it off this evening.
Also a side note, the gun play does feel a little trickier this time, but I think it's just more precise, requires more skill. I prefered the slight autoaim that U2 provided but it's not a major complaint. Only had one sequence in chapter 14 where a certain gunfight took a fair bit of patience.

I'm got to Chapter 6 last night and everything is awesome expect for the aiming. Shit I don't remember having aiming issues in the other two, it's horrible for me now. Maybe I just need to adjust but it feels like something is wrong.
Edit:
Ok I didn't read this thread, so it looks like it's not just me. Something is definitely broken with aiming.

Again, just my own observation. Dunno if aiming actually got patched, but I brought U1 home day 1one and hated it. Couldn't aim for shit, couldn't kill anyone, did NOT have fun. When the trophies patch came out much later, I gave it another go, and all the sudden it just clicked. I was headshotting like a madman and even went back for Crushing. Had a blast. Went from hating it pre-trophies, to best game ever post-trophies. Always assumed aiming was fixed in the patch.BruiserBear said:

For all the people who were blown away by chapter 12 , i'd love to read your reactions after chapter 15-16.

yeah... I was sitting there watching thinking I was in a cutscene until I was told to hit triangle (or square).
I was like.. this isn't a cutscene(interactive)?!
After the first scene I thought the quality would go down but it stayed just the same. I was floored... and mind was blown.

Moreover, I was playing UC1 recently, and was able to aim just fine. Ah well, starting UC3 today, so I'll see for myself if anything regarding aiming affects me in some way.jett said:
No. I played Uncharted 2 again leading up to Uncharted 3, and I can tell you that the aiming is retardedly bad in this game. It was smooth and modern in U2, whereas in U3 it feels like aiming from the PS1 era. The reticule only moves up, down, left, and right, and it's stiff as all hell.Thrakier said:

About to end 12.... good times ahead I guess
At Chapter 7 and so far I'm a bit disappointed. I may be wrong in my recollection but this game doesn't feel as polished as Uncharted 2 did. The animation feels glitchier (in its transitions) although I very much appreciate the new ways Drake interacts with the environment as he walks by railings and walls. The aiming is really funky to the point where shooting isn't fun for me... I sure hope they patch that. The graphics thus far have been a mixed bag. Some of the textures are poorly made (especially in the first big outdoor area you go to) while others look great. But so far, nothing has impressed me as much as Uncharted 2. That is except for the amazingly awesome character models.
Finally, the game seems to be REALLY high contrast, to the point that any time they have low-key lighting the blacks are so black that there's no detail. I wonder if I have my PS3's display settings incorrect because it's to the point that I have a hard time seeing anything. I'll have to test some other games on the ps3 again to see if I notice anything. On the whole, U3 feels like it was made by a different group of designers who don't pay attention to a lot of things the designers in U2 did, some of which made the game great.
My disappointments aside, the writing and voice acting are mind blowing and the game still has the best creative ideas in the industry as far as its action scenes are concerned.
Oh yeah, and I love the new additions to the hand to hand combat. It's very well implemented.

Made it to Chapter 6 (?) last night
and I hate to say, but so far it's been kinda "meh" for me. I really like the new pal Cutter and the part in the beginning where he
but other than that, it's been sorta bland.
Been playing Arkham City, so the hand-to-hand combat in U3 compared to that comes up short to me. Maybe I hyped myself too much on this. U2 had one of the best game beginnings for me; this adventure has been more slow paced so far. I do like it, and it is still early on. Looking forward to playing more.

I quit around chapter 9 or 10 I think and I could not disagree with you guys more about the beginning
I loved it! LOVED IT!
I was bored with the intro to uncharted 2

just finished it, great game, looks fantastic, more challenging as well, and it was quite fun overall BUT i thought the gameplay was repetitive.
if you were judging it based on story alone i think 8 would be the right score.
but with co-op and multi, the overall package is 9 to 9.5.

I see where they're coming from, especially from a gameplay point of view, but really, it does considerably pick up.
I'm not saying that gameplay should be sacrificed for story, but I feel that here, the exposition has actually made the story and characters so good that I genuinely don't want anything bad to happen to them. That scene where
like I was actually nervous about that.
Still, it is a videogame, and as a videogame, the criticisms are fair. However, on chapter 13 now, and I feel that all of mine have been virtually vanquished. If it keeps this up through the rest of the game, holy fuck.

Since I don't like Uncharted 3's aiming, I'm kind of meleeing everytime I can, which is fun but there are sequences when the option is not here and I don't really like those moments.
Maybe Naughty Dog wants to move the SP experience into something else than a shooter and only got halfway with uncharted 3.
I wish Uncharted VITA gets better controls!
PS : I might be reading too much into this, but as recently told in the book, Nate Drake is not supposed to be good at aiming...
Having literally just replayed UC2 last week, I'm not really getting the complaints about controls. The controls feel identical to UC2 to me. The aiming is definitely a little different, but I adjusted after a chapter or 2 of shooting and now have no problems taking guys down and getting headshots.

I *really* like Cutter and hope he's a new permanent cast member (like Chloe).

I think you are right. I also replayed U2 last week and aiming feels identical to me as well except for that first gun. (I hate that gun
