By Sully's Magnificent Mustache, you're right! Damn my tendency to overlook plot holes...Casual Shinji said:Except that the lack of mysticism in Uncharted 3 doesn't grant the villains any real motivation for going after it. Apparently they want some cursed vase that turns any water source poisonous with like "fear water", but throughout the game it was very apparent they already had the ability to produce those effects anyway. They drug both Drake and the other guy with roughly the same results.DustyDrB said:The first and second game have pretty terrible third acts involving cheesy mystical BS. The third one lacks that (it sort of teases it, but turns out it is something of a drug trip). That makes the third one far and away my favorite. So it's actually getting better with time.
So what was the point of them risking their entire operation chasing after a power which they already have?
I know hes just killing out of self defense but I'm just saying all the gun play seems a little out of place is all.Abandon4093 said:Have you played the second two games? (not played the first myself so I can't comment there) Drake isn't killing people for treasure. He's killing people who're trying to kill him. Usually because the artifact he's looking for is some sort of world dominating power that a baddy wants to use.IanBrazen said:It just seems kinda silly that your killing like 100 guys just for treasure, if anything I think it should have at least been mostly a brawler.Iyon said:You know, while I thought the stories of first two games weren't anything special, I agree with you about the third game and it really did turn things around for me story wise. I loved the back story they added with Sully and Drake, and I thought the entire story was very well executed.IanBrazen said:Iyon said:snip
Also, I always felt like I was playing the story, unlike some other games where I feel like I'm just killing bad guys until the next cut scene. And that's something not all games can get right, especially when it comes to linear shooters.
There's a lot to like about the Uncharted games, which is why I get so disappointed by the mechanics in them. It really made a sizable part of the game not enjoyable or fun to me.
Exactly. I know I keep reiterating my point, but the shooting feels just soooo out of place.Abandon4093 said:I probably won't disagree there. I enjoyed the exploration much, much more than the combat.IanBrazen said:I know hes just killing out of self defense but I'm just saying all the gun play seems a little out of place is all.Abandon4093 said:Have you played the second two games?

Don't get me wrong I like all the games but I just think a shooter isn't what the games should be.
Some shooting segments would be great, Im just saying I dont think it should be the core mechanic.
