Uncharted is not an Action Adventure series. Its a Third Person Shooter Series

Wasn't there another thread about this like yesterday or a few days ago?

Anyways I'm gonna say the same thing I said on the other one. Since like last gen most of the Action Adventure genre apparently derived into a new genre called

ACTION adventure. Uncharted series is part of this new genre.

Denying that Uncharted is a TPS is just dumb. You don't have any other way to play it, other than like a TPS. Sure you have great story, fantastic story telling, fantastic voice actors and great characters (Sully :cool: ) but it doesn't change the fact hat you are, in fact, shooting at someone or something 80% of the time

Desmonic

I hope You're not calling me dumb even if indirectly but I'll let that one pass.

You say 80% of shooting I say 60% maximum. Now who is telling the truth? Neither. Maybe we had a different experince with the same game. Its the only reason I can find for the discrepancy in the numbers we give. I seriously dont think (and I'm quite certain about that) I didnt spent 80% of the game shooting but thats me

60% implies that you only spend little over half of your overall time in the game shooting and a little under half of your time doing whatever (be it puzzles, treasures, walking, whatever really). Which I don't agree with since I "flew" by the puzzles and spend very little time searching for the treasures (as I said before, a great deal of the treasure are easy to spot and get).

But even by your experience it's more of a TPS than anything else. A TPS with Action Adventure elements but a TPS nonetheless, not the other way around.

But I DID only spent little over half the game shooting, especially in U3 were I'm pretty sure I used more meelee combat then shooting and in those chasing sequences but again, thats me. Also, as I already stated, I dint "flew" by the puzzles in U3. They actually made me think for awhile, but again... thats me

Dont know about that, never tried :P

You'll call it a TPS with action adventure elements and I'll call it an action adventure with TPS elements and lets leave it at that. This argument wont go anywhere

Plain and simple. What are the 3 things you do the most in Uncharted?

1. Platform (terribly I might add, clearly not a platformer, not even a hybrid)
2. Collect treasure (yeah you do this in RE too and its obviously a TPS as well)
3. Shoot things in a third person perspective. (you sort of do this like . . . . a lot)

I don't know where people are confusing pacing with genre. For example, just because I do watch cutscenes in a final fantasy games it does not some how become a movie. Just because I pick a costume for a fighter in like Street Fighter, it doesn't suddenly become a dress up game.

Uncharted is a great third person shooter series. Its hardly an action adventure game. Its closer to pure action (which it actually is but shooters are an off shoot of that by nature and action games are given to stuff like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry). You don't adventure worth shiit in uncharted, you go in a strickly linear path filled with shallow platforming and puzzles to break up the constant shooting. Hell, you have a more legitimate claim at Metroid Prime being an action adventure game than Uncharted. So its good, Uncharted, great shooter series, (nothing wrong with shooters) let's move on.

ActicEdge

Wow you have no idea what a tps is, these are TPS.

How do you get DMC and NG as an action adventure game (which of course they are) but you don't do squat in adventuring and they are even more linear path than Uncharted?.

Gamers now and days are just so ****** stupid, the game has guns? clearly it must be labeled as a tps or fps....

So is GTA now a driving game? because i spend most of my time driving but there is some shooting in it too :o The shooting is pretty subpar too, rockstar just added the shooting to please the CoD kiddies to what is absolutely an open world driving game.

This subject matter must really bother you if you want to carry on from another thread and dedicate a whole topic, been done before as well, let it go Actic. It's an action-adventure. The genre encompasses third person shooter, platforming, globe-trotting, set-pieces and story. Uncharted is action-adventure. Just play Uncharted 3, you don't get a gun until an hour and a half into the game and the series has plenty of moments where puzzles play a huge role.Swift_Boss_A

Though I do like watching TC get owned en masse

All this Uncharted 3 talk makes me want to play it again,

you know what? screw it!!!:D

I'm going to call it a puzzle game because this doesn't matter.

EDIT: It's actually a racing game.

Very overrated series.

Everybody talks about the story and graphics, but strangely, nobody mentions gameplay...

TopTierHustler

Oh look, another thread where TC tries to confine something to some tight, genre specific label.

Who.the.hell.cares.

Most big budget games at this point are infusing elements from various genres. You guys will argue about anything.

I'd argue that the game is closer to a sadism simulator crossed with a collapsing structure simulator.

It wasn't so bad in Uncharted 2 (though got a little excessive toward the end), but in Uncharted 3 so many objects, floors, walls, and celiings collapsed that I actually got f*cking bored of it. And you basically spend the entire game watching Drake get beaten to death. Problem is, since it's all either canned actions or cutscenes, there is never any real threat.

And when 1 bullet can kill a character in a cut-scene, but you and your enemies soak up countless rounds in-game before shifting the mortal coil, it just doesn't sit right.

And Drake's constant wise-cracks started to grate. And why does he constantly talk to himself when he's alone in the desert?! STFU Drake. Save your goddamn strength.

[spoiler] ...and when you eventually make your way out of the desert, after passing out and being massively dehydrated and close to death, of course another thousand enemies turn up and all of a sudden Drake's in 'run around, shoot everyone and moan when I lunge' mode. Uncharted 3 was just so bad compared to the second. [/spoiler]

At least there's comfort in knowing that the team responsible for UC2 are currently working on TLOU, and had nothing to do with the POS third game.

[QUOTE="vashkey"][QUOTE="GSposter1"] The gameplay in Uncharted is great! It's smooth, and its fun! There , I mentioned it! Uncharted would not be as critically acclaimed as it is, and as beloved by fans as it is, if it didn't also have the great gameplay to match. You sir, "very over rated" troll.m_machine024

I actually just haven't made a thread in a while and I played the uncharted games recently. Its debate, its not like I'm about to like shoot someone who disagrees, anyway I've stopped replying, now I'm just enjoying reading. Not sure why a friendly debate needs to turn into something more.

Egh, I still think Action Adventure suits it more. Not sure why there has to be a stigma with "shooter" being applied to it though.Stevo_the_gamer

Nothing wrong with shooter. TPS is one of my favourite genres :| I don't see why everyone thinks that because I'm saying its a TPS, its poor or something. Its just a genre, just saying that I think its being labeled incorrectly off of what I understand to be the criteria (or at least what I think is reasonable criteria since I'm sure someone will be pissy about the wording of the former) to label a genre.

screaming? what made yhou think that exactly? I didnt even used capitals...

and respond to what? saying that Uncharted gunplay is actually pretty great and no worse than say gears majorly accepted as one of the best TPS games? that the movement form drake is actually pretty fluid? why? He would just deny that...

People saying Uncharted has bad gameplay are morons that are just jumping on the hate bandwaggon for the sake of it.

[QUOTE="m_machine024"]

[QUOTE="vashkey"] So are you saying the Heavy Rain has good gameplay too despite being merely made up of nothing but on screen button pressing prompts and buttong pressing mini games? No, Uncharted doesn't have great gameplay, but the gameplay is in service to it's heavly scripted scenes that people are so impressed with and clearly heavily scripted scenes is good enough for a lot of people to award it game of the year. A lot of people just want movie games.ohgeez

lol personnally I always try debate friendly (like ex I have nothing against Vashkey and not trying to own him) but rarely it's taken that way. It's serious bizness down here.

[QUOTE="ohgeez"][QUOTE="m_machine024"] The shooting mechanics works great (in 2 and 3 :P) and the character movement is smooth. Seriously I don't see what makes Uncharted 2/3 gameplay worse than say Gears or Max Payne. Scripted gameplay is more during the traversal/platforming momemts.

m_machine024

Uncharted has great gameplay as a whole. I think there are some issues but people saying that like the shooting is terrible are exagerating. Its good, solid and carries out what its meant to do well even if its not "the best".

Seems so. Like, at the end of this I have more respect for those who disagree with reasoning at least. But this whole "have u even playzed the games" is just friggin stupid. Yes, yes I have, and I'm suppose to assume you have by the same logic lol :P

I honestly don't think this matters :( Can't say I disagree though :P

Yup its a tps. Not even really a good one, but obviously people like it.

true

I should have said "some" or even "most"

I would call it a hybrid. It's both Action-Adventure and TPS.

Problem is though, more and more games are becoming hybrids than they used to be. Like COD for example, has some RPG elements involved with the main core being a FPS.

you must of got really mad to make this thread,:shock:

Wikipedia says otherwise.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncharted

I know you guys aren't thinking this deep about the game when you're actually playing it.

holy hell.
