Why is every discussion in all of time the same..because it is the subject is just swapped the names changed but the sides of the debate always mirror pointlessly. I dislike the uncharted series but it dose look nice but overall not a game for me so oh well let others have there fun. But of course we are human and what I'm saying a lot are thinking but there are also a lot thinking about how stupid I am for there own reasons. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Why does everyone say the Uncharted series is amazing?(MINOR SPOILERS)

Games are fun and extremely well made. I don't particularly like Nathan Drake, but I like the supporting cast a good amount, and overall I think those are the best Indiana Jones games were going to get. 3rd one was a bit of a disappointment campaign wise though, felt a bit too short.
Wouldn't say they're games I love, but I can't deny that I think they're good and fun games.

I happen to love the Uncharted series. The voice acting is amazing, the characters were well thought up, it has the best story of any game I have ever played, it is a comedic and thrilling adventure, the graphics are stunning, the games have an extremely high replay value, and the list goes on and on.

On to your point though, as much as I can see your point, the praticality would be diabolical! If people had to pay for good games, but anything that is 'mediocre' is free, then people will end up just stopping buying the good games! I agree that some people will still buy them, but most people, especially people not as into games as we are on here, will chose the cheeper alternative... This will devalue the games industry tenfold!
You could suggest that good games are higher price than mediocre games, but tha already happens, and is happening more and more with new games! Hell, some games don't even appear to devalue as fast as others any more!!
Unfortunately as valid as your point is, it is too impractical for an actual implementation!
!!! Here, have a biscuit.But anyway, yes i kinda believe anything since no matter where i look nothing seems to make sense anymore but in a way it reminds me of the fans of Sonic games, who buy the games over and over even of they get worse every time. A normal person would have, you know, write a polite angry letter and fuck off to do something else, not just staying in a dark hole and waiting for a miracle to happen.
Just for once i will like to have a real discusion of what makes a game good and not being showered by post like:
"Everyone has an opinion and that opinion is that everyone has an opinion"
"You just dont get it"
"I know where you live (angry face)"
"You are a Redneck Hipster Hippy Emo Goth New Jersian moron who works for the Fox Channel"
Because when you get down to it, i think no one in existence knows what the fuck is talking about. That is why i use common examples of movies that flopped when they came out and turned out to by hidden gems that apparently NO ONE cared they even exist until its already too late, to compare to the situation of games in hopes that at least i laid the basics to where to start
Besides, we all know that pirates don't control global warming......because global warming is a product of the MAJECTIC12!!!! They cloned Tony Jay and Walt Disney and put them together with augmented lungs to sing the Rite of Spring. Since they sound so identical, the timeline will confuse them as the same person and make a paradox that will allow Raptor Jesus to come to this world and be captured by an army of Twilight Fangirls that will confuse him with Nosferatu (obviously, since the fangirls don't know any fucking better.) Later he will be frozen and shipped to a secret base in the head of John Malcovich where he will try to contact Gaia from the Captain Planet series and ask her to turn on the heat on the planet by playing the Disco Inferno song (You know, makes sense). And that is why we have global warming, all according to plan because it was the will of The Force as prophesied by The Milkman, whose milk is delicious.
I fucking hated it because all it is, is "BETRAYED BETRAYED BETRAYED BETRAYED" Seriously, Drake get betrayed by people all the fucking time and I got tired of it soooooo fast, I said FUCK this game after the second one. About 20 minutes in probably when you first get betrayed.
At last, a coherent response. But still, we have to make an agreement of what makes this series work because if this becomes popular, then it will become the line that every producer will FORCE developers to follow. If the fans can get a hold of a coherent idea of what in the fuck makes this series work and not, instead of being an annonymous mass of 12 years old that cant think for crap, the industry will be less afraid to try new things mixed with this that worked before.animehermit said:
Because... people like them?
I like the set pieces, the music, the atmosphere, the action. I genuinely believe it's a good game series, and if you don't, oh well.

Except when there are cases when the game is fun AND innovative but they STILL dont make money. For example we have Tyrian, Dungeon Keeper and Psychonautsanimehermit said:
Well obviously their opinions differ from yours. The cretins.
You can dislike the game, that's fine. You can talk about why you dislike it too. But don't try to impose your opinion on others, let them decide if they find your points valid or not.
You could have ended your text with: "These are my reasons for disliking the game, I would love to hear your thoughts about it." Hopefully inviting discussion as to why people find this series so enjoyable.
Instead your text come off as: "Why do you like this game you shouldn't like? Explain!" Making it seem like you think they're fools for not thinking like you.
That was probably (hopefully) not your intention. But that's what I felt when I read this, perhaps I misinterpreted.
Also, please think about splitting up lengthier posts into paragraphs as it is quite uncomfortable to read just a wall of text.

i liked the first, loved the second, but cannot seem to get into the third. it all just feels too much like the same ole thing. i am having the same problem with arkham city. yeah there are some neat new tweaks and the city looks great and all, but i still have that lingering "man, i have done all this before" feeling.
it is making it hard for me to even work up the ambition to play either of them past the points where i am now. i haven't even bothered starting up ass creed: revelations because i am pretty sure i will have that same feeling all over again.

I just have to point out that this thread has the most grammatical errors I've ever seen in any Escapist posting. I mean, I don't mind a few misspellings here or there, but half of your postings are so badly written that they're giving me a friggin headache!
On topic: Basically, people like different stuff. I haven't seen anything in Uncharted to make me go out and buy it, but it also doesn't seem like a BAD game. It seems like the game just isn't your type of game. That doesn't make it garbage, that just means you should play something else.

But marketing can make turds look like gold, the game itself its supposed to sell by its merits and specially if its a indie game that has no way to appear in a mass medium (except internet of course). I think that the real problem is mentioned in Extra Credits once about reviewing, most reviews uses generic words instead of comparing it with something else; Even this very thread and many others have people that just say that its "fun" or "innovative" without going into true detail:animehermit said:
Saying at least that a game reasembles Citizen Kane in its narrative because it revolves around a character study will help.
Saying that the Uncharted is like the Indiana Jones movies could help too however if it trully IS like the films then why would the consumer play the game if its EXACTLY like the films that are cheaper and more accessible? What sets this series apart from the others
How do you describe a game like Bastion and a game like The Stanley Parable to someone that has never played video games and another that play games casually?
I literally screamed "OH MY GOSH" in a pissed off manner when I saw the OP. Dammit, use the fucking Enter key.
I like the Uncharted series because the gameplay is fast paced, it gives you that 'action hero' feeling and the set pieces are really cool. The story isn't that good (but still, it's solid), Elena is a huge *****, the antagonists are always these smug and untouchable baddies (usually with some sort of magical power), and the difficulty is a bit annoying.
BUT. Uncharted 2 is still my top-played PS3 game, and I really like the split-screen co-op in Uncharted 3.

Sorry, I sometimes just run and gun it. I typically don't try to make sure my spelling and grammar are good. I do(believe it or not) have the ability to make nice, good essays and other bull, but I apologize for giving you a headache. Also, I am full aware that I am a dumbass. Though I won't care if you remind me.Fidelias said:
Because its a fun and good looking set of games. Sure, it has it's downs, but the ups far outweigh them, and this coming from a mostly(90:10) Xbox guy. I only buy ps3 games if they're exclusives and look fun. Uncharted games(save part one, didn't like) fit the bill.
