Lemme start by saying I enjoyed the game, I think it's one of the most important games of this generation and I appreciate what the developers tried to do. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty remarkable effort in a lot of ways.
Anyhow, Hicken, you want plot flaws? How bout... (spoiler warning for those who still care)
1) What's up with Ethan's blackouts that find him waking up in the middle of a street with an orig...
Never played a Final Fantasy game in my life and even I know it's "Moogle".
Really? Had this been two guys the headline would have most likely read: "Watch a Couple of Guys Play Skyrim's Haunting Theme on Violin and Piano" - of course, those sorts of headlines aren't called out for being ploys for hits though. I suppose the only way to avoid such an accusation is to remain gender neutral with every headline from now on?
How bout "Watch a Person Play Skyrim's Theme on Violin" - I dunno about you, but that just seems a l...
Yeah, it would be - don't hold your breath though. That'd be tough for Sony to pull off given copyright complications, not to mention the possibility (reality / inevitability) people would stream porn and no real way to age verify anyone... not a can of worms Sony is going to be eager to open.
Am I the only person that thinks the Metro interface is crap? It's halfway decent for phones and tablets but otherwise? Meh.
I preferred the story/narrative in UC1, and believe that's what is being referred to, but I agree that the actual game/campaign is better in UC3.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Agreed.
The MP is better this time 'round though. So, yay?
How many times do we have to see a giant thwack something and send it flying away before we lose interest? This has got to be the 5th or 6th time I've seen one of these videos posted here. It was funny the first time, *maybe* even the second, but it's a little old now.
You're absolutely right. The problem is people feel entitled and like to whine and complain about every perceived slight against them. Instead of recognizing that Sony is (to my knowledge) the only company that offers this sort of sharing at all, and *PRAISING* them for that, they want to complain about what little they're losing.
I agree with you insofar as I think we should still be able to share our downloaded games just as we could share physical games years ago.
However, I believe it *is* a little different because this isn't really sharing so much as it is copying. Years ago, you might have shared an NES cartridge with your cousin, but while he had it, you didn't. With Sony's game sharing system, you effectively have two copies that can be played at the same time, you're not "...
You're getting an awful lot of disagrees for being right. Kind of a bummer. :(
Wow. Talk about first world problems.
Get some perspective dude.
@IdleLee
Also remember that this is a feature unique to Sony. 360 owners have never been able to do this. So yeah, while it arguably "sucks" that PS3 owners are "losing" something here, they can still do more with this than any 360 owner can.
Besides, the original offer of 5 consoles was incredibly generous. How many people *really* have 5 PS3s they need to activate the same content on? I'm guessing very, very few. The reality is that ...
I'd say Uncharted 2 was a masterpiece. I'd say Uncharted 3 was very good, but just shy of the masterpiece UC2 turned out to be.
"Sublime in-depth melee combat with impressive contextual animations"
Agreed on the animations. Not so much on the "in-depth" bit, though. The melee combat was done well, very well, but not so well that the game should have relied on it nearly so much as it did. I punched my way through so many scenes in U...
I'm a big fan of the Uncharted series (one of my favorites of this generation and way better than Gears in my opinion), and I know I'm asking for the hate of all the die hard fanboys out there when I say this, but this is a pretty spot on review.
The only thing about this review I'd seriously disagree with are his gripes about the puzzles, which I felt where easily the best in the series so far. Otherwise I think this is a very fair review that accurately reflects...
Assuming the other 99% are afflicted with ADD and / or too lazy to pay attention, then yeah, maybe.
Being a Demon's Souls veteran makes it a little harder to judge I think. I knew what I was getting in to this time and already had a good technique down, so I think that gives Dark Souls the impression of being easier at times. I think the boss fights in Demon's Souls were much harder, but otherwise I'd give Dark Souls the nod for greater difficulty overall.
If you're not sure, I'd suggest giving it a rent at the very least. You'll either discover a gem like so many of us have, or you'll decide it's just not for you. Everyone with a passing interest should at least try it just to experience something unlike anything else they've played. It's easily one of my all time favorites, along with Demon's Souls, but it's definitely not for everyone.
I don't think it's nearly as important to *look* like the character as it is to be able to *portray* the character... and frankly, as much as I love Fillion and think he'd do a good job, I don't think anyone can pull it off as well as Nolan North. He *IS* Nathan Drake.
The man deserves the role.

7) How did Shelby fill all those tunnels with broken glass exactly? He's a fair bit larger than Ethan, what with that gut and all, and even Ethan is cramped up trying to crawl through all that. There's just no plausible way for Shelby to have engineered that whole thing.
8) Shelby crashes a freaking car into a mansion, kills who the hell knows how many bodyguards on his way to his main target (I forget the guys name), but decides to spare ...
