It was a fair review. Uncharted 3 seems to be a great game in many ways, but if it is as scripted as U2 then it does lose some appeal to certain gamers that prefer control to spectacle.
Great points made in this piece. The idea that developers complain about low sales of the PC version of their game...which shipped with bugs, released later, and didn't get the TLC the console versions did, is ridiculous.
If you want good PC sales put in an equally good PC effort.
Having played both the console and PC versions now...
PC still looks better, but what was accomplished on consoles is impressive. Great job, Crytek.
I own it on a high-end gaming PC. I played a bit of it on console last night at my brothers. Ya, the AA is a bit of an issue, but everything else about it looks pretty damn good considering the hardware.
I think they did a great job.

Great point. I smell bologna.
Hopefully Crytek's excellent port will shut up the whole PC vs. Console debate to at least a small degree.
Yes, PC's definitely win in the tech category. But great gaming is possible on any platform and, with the right peeps behind the programming wheel, even older tech can work wonders.
Now is probably the best time ever to buy a PlayStation 3. The console is cheaper than ever, the library is bigger than ever, the features offered are better and more abundant than ever.
"Jump in" to a PS3 my friend.

Owned by xhedleyx, simply because he is technically right. By commenting you further this story. HA!
On topic, the point is to encourage the reader to ponder why they like they games they do, more than just graphics, genre, etc... What are the fundamental reasons that would cause someone not typically into gaming (and even those that are) to step outside their "gaming comfort zone" to try something different. It also encourages us all to do ...
Gibberish? i can't tell. enjoy the game though!
I sadly have to agree with CloseSecond. The graphics aren't nearly the leap I was made to expect.
Still seems fun though.
Obviously you didn't read my post above. The irony of you saying something offensive to a stranger because he or she said something offensive to a stranger is just too much.
At least the author could admit that he was wrong to do so. Will you?
@xhedleyx
Pretty ironic you are calling a stranger "retarded" for saying something that could offend a stranger.
Really?
R3 is incredible so far.
And I hope people buy it! He's right...let's SUPPORT the peeps that make great exclusive games :)
My personal life will disappear with the release of this game.
I'll believe when I see it. Count me as a "doubting Thomas" until then.
@baker_boi
You make some major assumptions there and I question their accuracy. My favorite:
"The people who buy iPhones are the same tech savvy or hipster bastards that thought the Wii was innovative but weren't in anyway interested in playing any REAL games the system had to offer."
Really? I love my iPhone and my Wii. Same with the guy in the cube next to me, we talk about them all the time. Oh, haha, I'm not a "...
Never bought a PSP..but I DEF want a PSV! I hope I have the money cuz I want an iPhone 5 as well.
@Blackburn
Here we go again, another downer with nothing better to do than complain on N4G and act like a tool to strangers. Its fascinating you would actually take the time to bitch about this. Your negativity changes nothing...it just brings people down.
Hell, I dont even agree with tthe guys conclusions, but it was well written and makes a great argument. You don't have to read it if you don't want. Why ruin it for those that do?

"I always say the truth no matter how badly the the PS3 or Xbox 360 fanboys get offended, my aim is never to offend them but to make them realize the truth."
Oh enlightened one!! Please use your obviously superior intellect to show us, the little people, the truth we are incabale of grasping without you! Guide us, oh Great one!
Moving on, you get one bubble because you state opinions as infaliable truth AND fail to ...
It does...but it is hard to tell what really happened. Have any other sites reviewed the game yet?
