About Nathan Drake
I love the Uncharted series on the PlayStation 3. So after Uncharted 3 arrived in my apartment on Nov 1, I finished the game in about 4 days in normal difficulty. Here I’m just jotting down what I like and what I don’t like from the latest installment on the epic adventure of Nathan Drake.
1. LIKE - epic story, surviving an airplane crash, chasing truck with horses, surviving sinking titanic, nice ship-junkyard scene, surviving a burnt house. interesting background story. And oh my god, I almost had tears on my eyes over that one scene. ;p
2. DON’T LIKE - spiders attack, the ancient monster on the second game was cheesy but added to the story, and actually surprised me at one point (remember ice cave, anyone?), but this spider attack (and it come not only once, but multiple times during the story) is just plain boring. It reminds me of time crisis 4, yes similar mechanic, spiders get close, shoot spider once, spiders go away, spider comeback, repeat.
B O R I N G - seriously guys, put some more effort, the spiders don’t even have high details!
3. LIKE - normal difficulty was actually pretty difficult at a few battles. I died more than just a few times each. But it gives me more challenge and I like it, I think it’s about right.
4. DON’T LIKE - late-game story. At some point, I was having dejavu on how similar the late-game story was to the second game. Now instead of the guardians, we have the fire-headed bad guys. same mechanic, just no magic arrows. not enough cut-scenes and story telling near the end, it feels almost like the game was rushed towards the end. The drugged Drake scenes actually made me dizzy.
