Although not the same leap forward as Uncharted 2, the game is certainly not any less ambitious.
#Uncharted 3 length series#
In truth, the Uncharted series doesn't really do much that hasn't been done before, but rather builds upon the best elements of gaming and perfects it - taking it to a whole other level. Some have claimed the game is too cinematic and linear, but considering that it's what the Adventure genre has always been about, it's kind of like saying a comedy film made you laugh too much. Naughty Dog as a studio has grown so much in the last years, and they have accomplished most of the challenges they have bestowed upon themselves for this game. The story is about a man with an unclear motivation, on a pursuit of buried secrets of the past, and the narrative builds around how his ambitions affect the people around him, allowing the player to get involved in the characters, and relate to them, which is unusually deep for a video game. Combining elements of regret, loyalty, and adventure. The game as a whole consists of so many beautiful moments, both in regards to the the story and the presentation. Chasing someone through the corridors of an old town and seeing the care that has gone into the polygons in the background is one of the things that truly separates Uncharted 3 from the competition. Climbing on the walls of a ship, not knowing which way is up was disorienting and intriguing. The waves impact with the elements around the levels, and the water floating back and forth on the surface as the rain poured down, took my breath away. This game surpassed some of those demos for me, and at certain points it was unreal to me that I was actually playing a video game. The waves impact with the elements around the levels, and Upon playing the Dessert level I was reminiscent of being a kid and watching Benchmark demos back in the day, getting a glimpse of the future of gaming, and being in awe of the footage I was watching. Upon playing the Dessert level I was reminiscent of being a kid and watching Benchmark demos back in the day, getting a glimpse of the future of gaming, and being in awe of the footage I was watching. This was an utter waste of my time and I can say, with no shame, that I've already re-sold my physical copy of the shop where I got this from in the first place. If, like me, you only wanted to play through Uncharted 1-3, in order to get a better grasp of background for the much acclaimed Uncharted 4, my advice would be that you save your time and money, and watch a couple of YouTube summaries instead. So if, for whatever reason, in 2019 or beyond, you're still contemplating whether or not you should purchase this game, my answer is "no".
Nevertheless, compared to other 2019 releases, this was still a rubbish game for anyone to play. But the pacing was faster (the game didn't felt as dragged-out as 1 and 2) and the action involved somehow gave me a heightened sense of urgency. If anything, the technological leap from 1 to 2 was much more noticeable than the jump from 2 to 3. Having said that however, and contrary to what a lot of other have said, I actually felt that Uncharted 3 was an improvement over its two predecessors. The plot epitomised the notion of a "big dumb action game" and at no point throughout the experience, did I feel engaged with the game's protagonists. The invisible walls were prominent and felt out of place, the graphics was rubbish, the shooting was one of the worst I've ever experienced and the ledges that you're meant to use for traversal stuck out like a sore thumb. And like Uncharted 2, my answer is simple: it's garbage. So this is more like my opinion on how the game is holding up 8 years after its release. I am playing and rating a 2011 game in 2019 and the technological landscape had undergone a seismic disruption in the time between. The Much like my Uncharted 2 rating, I want to say I understand why some people may find this review unfair.
