DISCUSSION: UNCHARTED "Drake's Deception (2011)"

[weber_dubois22]

Okay, wow, not only did I think this game was coming out on the eleventh of November, the bloody thing has been out for eight days already. *cries* I am a bad moderator! (how I loathe RL and the The Immortals right now).



In other news Nate/Elena have a tumblr account now. So much Pretty for our OTP.

So really, as a means to appease, for those who've purchased the game:

STARTER QUESTIONS! (humor me):

• What do you all think of it so far?
• How is the story and the character progression/development?
• Is Catherine Marlowe the definitive Uncharted villain or just better than her predecessors?
• Is the Online + Multiplayer or Single Player campaign? improved over the previous?
• The 3D? Was it worth it or not?

Overall if you want to use this thread to discuss or gush about the game, you can. Spoilers aren't outlawed, but if you feel the need to warn anyone just leave "SPOILER" in the subject bar of the comments. Apologies about the lack of activity, folks.

This. I was really surprised at how sloppy the writing was, considering that's always been what set the series apart from being just another Tomb Raider clone. Some of the individual chapters were excellent--some where not--but they didn't do a very good job tying them all together for a satisfying narrative payoff.

I was pretty peeved at how much they dumped into multiplayer when Uncharted's strong point was always its writing.

exactly

I still don't think I could give someone a plot synopsis because half the time I didn't even know what was happening.
