I’ve made it to chapter 20 and so far I believe this edges to be a little bit better than uncharted 2, which from what I’ve seen is the franchise favorite. Can’t wait to see how it ends!

Made it to the start of chapter 10 and yes this still feels like a much faster pace than the previous two games. Still quite enjoying it

I have absolutely no memory of playing this game back in the day but seemingly according to my time logged on ps3 I played enough to complete it. I made it to the start of chapter 5 and it definitely seems faster paced than the previous two titles. Having fun!

Finished on Explorer -- played via PS Now streaming service
Thoughts: Just like Uncharted 2: 3/5 very average gunplay, but 5/5 in terms of presentation, charming and memorable characters, and incredibly well-done cinematic moments. However, I personally can't enjoy this game because I have arachnophobia to play anything with spiders, and this game takes spider swarms as a RECURRING THEME …

Seeing how poor this game’s actual gameplay is in many ways, it’s both sad and funny to then remember just how much worse it was in the first Uncharted. And yet, despite its shortcomings, this is still a great game in what I’ve played so far. Almost nobody does big setpiece moments this well, the main characters are all fun, the pace of storytelling and gameplay has been excellent, locations are varied and super detailed—and the game just looks really nice in its PS4 remaster. Barring any potential dip in quality in the second half, it seems just as good as Uncharted 2.

Я играл в Uncharted 3 уже после прохождения Uncharted 4 и Uncharted Legacy и поэтому мне сначала было непросто привыкнуть к устаревшей графике и угловатому управлению персонажами. Тем не менее, история достаточно интересна и заслуживает прохождения игры от начала до конца. К тому же было любопытно посмотреть на истоки современных игр по этой франшизе.

Read moreWhen I played Uncharted 3 for the first time in 2017 after finishing the masterpiece that is Uncharted 2. I had very high expectations. A couple of hours in I was happy. The gunplay was way better, the melee combat is better, the stealth is better. It also has a fantastic opening. The most memorable one from all 4 main games. I didn't feel the same way by the time I finished it. Charlie was fun, probably the best looking and most varied locations in the series that far. But as a whole in felt lacking compared to 2. After finishing Uncharted 4, I always ranked it 3rd in the ranking the series. I decided to replay 3 after a long time since I enjoyed its combat the most. I think I finally understood this game. It has flaws in its story but the core relationship, the one between Sullivan and Drake is the focus of the story. Spoilers......................There are a lot of examples of this but the most important one is the ending. I always thought that the focus was on Elena and Drake. This scene is sort of the conclusion of the whole story. Sully gives Nathan his ring back. He knows he hasn't been the best role model. As he says it's what you do with the hand you're dealt. Drake shouldn't throw away his life and loved ones for some obsessive dream, he should enjoy what he has. And Sully is the one who facilitates Drake and Elena getting back together. This is in counter to what Marlowe says earlier did Sullivan truly save him or lead him to this dangerous path. Sully shows his true colors he isn't doing this just for riches but because he cares for/loves Drake.

Putting in the man hours with this one. Up to the last chapter but I think I'll try and finish it off tomorrow. The game is beautiful and and the set pieces are great but feels incredibly padded out in places.

Put a bit of time into this over the weekend when the gf was out. Solid fun though I'm playing on Hard so some sections can be a bitch. Couldn't imagine the game on Crushing.

This game felt like a bit of step back from Uncharted 2 in a few ways. From the get go the gun play mechanics just didn't feel quite right to me and it took me quite a while to adjust. Worst of all though was the enemy AI which would often either sprint around maniacally in random directions (or just into the open) or just straight up rush you. It felt really jarring a lot of the time. The hand to hand combat felt good first but it got quite repetitive as the game wore on especially as we are forced to go hand to hand on several occasions. Much to my surprise I actually got sick of the kneeing my foes in the groin. The story had some odd pacing issues too especially one particular section that just brought the games momentum to a screaming standstill.
It wasn't all bad though, the final showdown with the main antagonist was nice change to the poorly executed boss fights of the first 2 instalments. Simple but effective would be the best way to describe it. Uncharted 3 also gave me probably one of my favourite "levels" in the series which takes place on a sinking ship and is beautiful and epic all at once.
