I hated Uncharted; the gameplay suuuuuuuuucked as compared to the third game in the series, but the story itself was great! The mechanics, the level design and especially the absurdly durable enemies sent in wave after wave after wave sucked all the fun out of playing. It was a slog. I got so pissed off at it I put it back on the shelf and didn't pick it up again until a couple years later, prior to me buying a PS4 with Uncharted 4 as a pack-in game. I buckled down and powered through it and I've never touched it since. And then I played Uncharted 2 and was blown away by how much bigger the step-up in all respects that game was compared to the first. Uncharted aged horribly in a scant few years, and in retrospect seems like a very fun and engaging story with a proof-of-concept technical design wrapped around it. |
I just finished all 4 of the UC games. 4 was my least favorite in terms of storyline - there was waaaay too much storyline. It always felt like they dragged out the yapping by 5 minutes too long. It dragged out the game play for me, and I didn't enjoy it as much.
I'm waiting for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy to arrive and I'm hoping it doesn't suck.
