I love Uncharted. Well, at least the first and second one (haven't played the third, except for the demo). I think they are so awesome-the exploration, the wonderful areas, and the Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones aspect of the games. It's so much fun to run around the islands and find buried treasure and learn of the previous inhabitants.
I also hate this series.
Because of the weird, enemy twists at the end. I understand what everyone has told me ("well, Darby, you are on an UNCHARTED island, after all, who knows what is there!", but still. I like my human enemies. I enjoy fighting off my human adversaries and racing to find the secret artifact before the bad guys. I really, really dislike the fact that we have to thrown in the descendants and the guardians, and I am 99% sure there is something along those lines in the third game as well.
I appreciate the game for being able to throw us off and surprise us with mysterious things, but I would much rather not have to fight mutated zombies and mystical warriors. I just want to learn about everything, and maybe have a few appreciative jump scares along the way. This all being said though, I am really not the person to scare in a game. I will freak out, I guarantee you. I have never been great at playing games with scary or shocking moments (I can watch people play them, but I'm bad when I get the controller). For example, those of you who have played, remember when your first get into the room with the Descendants coming through the vents and swarming you? Yeah, I stood in the corner and and frantically fired my gun, all while bouncing up and down in my chair making noises of terror.
That might be a little dramatic, but not by a lot.
I really do like these games though, as they are very well designed games. I love the mechanics, the story, the character dynamics...everything about these are awesome. BUT, I would like playing them so much more if I only had to worry about someone with a shotgun around the corner.
