I'm pretty sure he meant 4.5/5
What's up with joystick?
lol @ eurogamer.
I just read top and tails of that review, and a few comments. Seems to be saying that it's more of the same, and as it's not improving on U2, only warrants an 8/10. If you're getting a whole different story tbough, which is what U3 is about, then you want the same game. I don't think the multiplayer or coop has been factored in at all which is unfair.
As you have figured out yourself, Uncharted 3 is a sequel much worthy of the series. Just as spectacular, whether technically or in terms of atmosphere, Naughty Dog's new creation is what every Indiana Jones fan has always dreamed of. Those who, like me, started fantasizing about living such adventures when playing Rick Dangerous or the different movie tie-ins of the 8bits/16bits era will be thrilled. Naughty Dog have managed to totally blend video games and movies together, making Uncharted 3 a very cinematic experience, but a game to play nonetheless. In that respect, they have managed to do what Hideo Kojima has failed to do with MGS 4, have the player play as much as live the story. For that, there's only one thing left to say: hats off!
replayability is there aslong the game exposes enough variation in your playstyle. you wont experience the story twice, but in game where you have enough wiggle room to deal with encounters in various ways you still can play sections for kicks.mm... I don't mind cinematic experiences, but I'm just not seeing the replayability without a campaign co-op mode. Competitive MP was never high on my list of reasons for playing, and there's just something bizarre about their objective co-op mode that doesn't grab my attention compared to other games in similar genres. *shrug*
I think I'll just wait for a price drop.
Day one for me. It's one of the rare games I can play without my wife running away or grabbing a book. It is one of the most pure game enjoyment I've had, and a genre I find very satisfying (just like God of War 3): great graphics, great sound, great story, and great gameplay. If you get that much right, who cares that you don't have that much choice. Eurogamer's 8/10 being the lowest score the game has gotten so far out of 30+ reviews is enough for me to suggest that it will be at least as good as Uncharted 2, but with a new story, and that's basically all I'm hoping for.
All the multiplayer, and that has been refreshingly excellent so far, have played a lot of Uncharted 2 multi-player, is just icing on perfection. I look forward to this game (and I wish I could rent one of those Sony HMDs for it)! I even stopped playing the beta because I wanted as much of the game to be as fresh as possible.
The brilliance of Uncharted 2, that a lot of games need to learn from, is the pacing. The traversal sections provide the calm before the storm, and you need calm to make sure you notice the difference when the storm comes. Build up in that game is fantastic, and I hope Uncharted 3 is as good there as well.
