Poll: Uncharted 2: completely overrated

[Yossarian1507]

I Like it very much. Not the best game ever for me (that's still KotOR II, although Heavy Rain has a decent chance of dethroning it soon) or even the year (that's AC II for me), but I beat the entire game with a giant smile on my face. I wanted some epic action, and that's what I got. IMO great game.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

If I had a PS3 I would have bought it by now. Damn me and my Xbox choice!

PS3 getting all the good games now like GOWIII. I WANT A PS3!

You are a moron. Uncharted 2 is incredible, combining beautiful environments with great writing and combat. It's got one of the highest metacritic scores of this generation. I had no problem playing through the game three times to get all of the trophies, because it was so enjoyable.

Nope, you're the moron.

Its his opinion. I'm not one to tell people that they need to add "IMO" to everything (if they said it then obviously it's their opinion) but there's no need to be a dick.

Funny you should say that, because I was expressing an opinion as well, and you called me a moron for it. Maybe you should avoid completely contradicting yourself in your posts, moron.

And of course it's my opinion, I fucking typed it.

No no, clever boy. I called you a moron for calling him a moron (man this sounds stupid). I don't care what your opinion is - in fact I want to play the game so much that I'm hoping that once I do I'll agree with you.

If you read (you do that with your eyes) what I wrote, then you'll see that I made no comments regarding your opinion. Instead, I talked about you being a dick because you don't agree with the OP's opinion.

Oh, and in the comment below that you said he must be wrong that he's just trying to "suck Yahtzee's teet".

Charming.

It couldn't be more obvious that you cited no support to your claim considering you probably didn't even play it and are just suckling Yahtzee's teet. The writing is very clever and is brought to live by very realistic facial expressions.

It's nominated for the Writers Guild of America's Video Game Writing Award, if that doesn't explain it to you, then you probably think Halo has good writing.

but it's so goshdarned corny. i actually like the game itself, it's pretty amazing, but the characters and their dialogue make me barf.

I don't see how it's corny, because it seems willing to take the piss out of itself. Drake isn't going around saying "IM THE BEST FORTUNE HUNTER EVAR!" or anything like that, and he's not even that smug. It's pretty obvious that some of the dialogue (Like when he says "Fish outta water!") aren't really supposed to be funny, they just help shape the character.

Well what if him being a moron is my opinion? Then you're calling me a moron/dick because you don't agree with my opinion. Don't you get tired of constantly contradicting yourself?

Moron and jerk are not the same thing. Being rude doesn't show a lack of intelligence. If that were true, Forrest Gump would've been the smartest guy on the planet. That's twice you've shown your loose grasp of the English language in the course of about ten minutes. Quite impressive, I have to admit.

That's incredible - I can't remember the last time someone formed such an illogical argument. Who used the word jerk?

Now, read closely (I'm aware you have some trouble with that):

You were calling him a "moron" because his opinion didn't match yours. I called you a moron partly because I like the word, but partly because you had used it already - a pun (play on words) of sorts.

Now, I called you a dick because you were being a dick by calling him a moron. I never said they were the same thing.

Really, a few night classes that is all it'd take; your reading will be tip-top in no time!

It's still an insult.

 

[SnipErlite]

It's a damn good game - simple

 

[Taerdin]

Being a gigantic Firefly fan, I really enjoy Uncharted [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr9YJz_1O4w].

It's pretty good, maybe not the best game ever... but definitely one of the best games of last year, and among the best on PS3.

*see a flame war developing*

Well, I played an in store demo and had a pretty good time. Drake himself is unlikable, though.

oh and yes actually i was quite happy when i saw that Yahtzee agreed with me!

uh are you joking? the writing was really awesome, and thats one fact that people keep pointing out again and again, so obviously there is massive support in that department, its very lifelike and unless you stay huddled in your cave every day then your more then likely going to like the dialogue, its way better then 90% of the games i have played just about

 

[aPod]

I still have to play through the first one... first 2 missions were fun enough in Drake 1 though. Darn if Mass Effect just wont let me go though.

Oh, and you two should really leave it were it is at before you get unwanted attention.

 

[Axeli]

Meh, pretty much everything new I've played for the last two years has been over-hyped. Weren't it for Mass Effect 2, I'd probably have lost my hope for the industry... Actually games like ME2 that have something unique going for them (looking at the industry as whole - still not conviced Bioware has ever made more than one game), instead of the action-adventure hybrid crap, have been the ones that felt genuinely great.

All these action adventure games... Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2, inFamous, GTA and even MGS4... They try to be the greatest game ever too much. Sure they are solid quality, but in the same way bricks are perfectly square.
Too much focus on being all around great and acceptable, too little personal touches and uniqueness. Some of the best games never were technically that great or flawless, but had obviously some heart put into them, which made the fun and fulfilling to play.

Most new games feel soulless, straight off the assembly line -great. I liked it more when there was some quirkiness in games and they didn't take themselves so damn serious.

 

[Alarien]

I'm still trying to work up the resolve to play through it.

I was really excited to pick up Uncharted 1 when I got my PS3 and found that it was the worst game I had played in... years. (Except for Alone in the Dark, I don't even count that travesty as a game) God, Uncharted 1 was horrifically poor as a current gen game. It's barely passable by PS2 standards.

So, they tell me that 2 was a lot like 1... which isn't helping me feel better...

 

[rhyno435]

I personally thought it was great. The first was great and the second surpassed it in every way I can think of. I would say definetely one of the best games of 2009, though maybe not game of the year. Not really overrated in my opinion.
