really weak of jeff to discount all the games that wouldn't hit a gamestop release calendar: olliolli 2, hotline miami 2, axiom verge, titan souls, etc etc.
Nobody would claim there aren't a bunch of great downloadable games coming to both consoles. But if that's practically all there is, that's kind of a problem, isn't it?
Not really..the landscape is just changing.
I don't think it's that simple. A sizable chuck of people-myself included- bought the new consoles to play the big budget titles and they were marketed as the next generation in gaming as doing things leaps and bounds above the previous one. The sad reality is that most indie games would run just fine on the PS3 or 360. If not for $60 retail releases, the PS4 and XBONE are kind of unnecessary. My old 360 could probably mange all of the games from the quote above. I spent $400 expecting some serious big budget games. I think It's a problem.
Having Just finished the game I liked it overall very frustrating a rimes but I'm going to start UT 2 when I get chance. I see the potential this series has and want to see more. Drakes fortune was just pretty thin
I never owned a PS3 but I am using PS now to play through the first uncharted. the game works well enough but there is not a lot to it. go into an area, get shot out of nowhere, take cover, shoot dudes, walk forward, repeat over and over again.
I think you could break down every game into the most rudimentary aspects if you really want to.
And, just pointing out the obvious here, but the game is eight years old. You already seem to have expectations in your head based upon what you think the game is based upon others' hype. It was almost bound to fail in your eyes.
Point taken. Also, you are correct, every game can be boiled down but it is just so easy for me to do this with uncharted right now. To be honest this might have seemed a lot more impressive to me if I hadn't played The Last of Us before Uncharted. It's probably my own hangups as you say. I think I have just gotten used to the incredibly tight gameplay experience that Last of us offers. Compared to that the gameplay just feels unpolished.
That being said I will play UT 2. The game has taken a turn for me and the characters are growing on me. I'm at the point where Nate and Elena reunite with Sully and I'm really digging the dialogue between the three of them. If UT 2 is more of that with better gameplay then I'm in.

I remember some people loving this game when it came out but I'm just not feeling it. The characters are not likable. Nathan Drake is a major asshole. This has just been super disappointing for me so far. The series gets all of this praise but I just don't see it. Am I missing something? should I move on to 2? Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Games are fleeting and will be replaced by other games with different rules THE FOLLOWING YEAR. Major league sports are standardized have standardized rule sets that DO NOT change over time. There are also more overall variables in sports. The human element for one, the way each athlete moves and uses their bodies is inherently different. Thus opening the door for wider variety.
In COD there are class load outs that are better than others due to inherent quarks in the code. I don't follow MLG COD but from what I've seen the load outs and stratifies are pretty cookie cutter. Everyone uses the same strategies and guns. Not that fun to watch. There is also no mainstream audience for it outside of the hardcore MLG community. It won't last forever.
Yes if you wait for deals you can cut costs more than you think. Also, don't buy everything right when it comes out. wait awhile and see if the game in question is worth the full price based on what the early adopters say about style, gameplay, length etc. it's kind of on you as buyer to make an educated purchase. Also regarding length I prefer a really tight 10 hour game over a bloated 20-25 hour one (ex dying light was about double the length I wanted to be).
With all due respect accuracy, is irrelevant when SVU already dumbs down their subject matter so that a broad audience can understand it. They also take their plots to the most extreme degree possible to shock people. Also, the gaming community is so divided regarding "gamergate" that getting to the truth on a long running police procedural drama that literally just reads headlines and runs with a story is neigh impossible. Even so the depiction is really cheesy and down right insulting to everyone involved.
