Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception really disappointed me. Granted, it surely wasn't an awful game without its own merits, but it was an awful sequel in one of the best franchise of this current console generation. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune–which still had its faults–had great character development, overall storytelling, and great environments to explore. Then for the sequel, Uncharted: Among Thieves, Naughty Dog polished up the core gameplay and blew everything out in grand fashion, such as the graphics, set piece moments, etc. However, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception takes forever to get started. It's definitely a slow burn. After hours and hours of playing through similar scenarios, you finally get to the boat scenario–which I actually think is the best part of the game–and the desert levels that should've had more presence within the game. Early on, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception really feels like it's hardly trying to even impress you, as it's a very run-of-the-mill experience. Only later do you get to experience some of the brilliance that past Uncharted games had, but it's too late at that point.

For an Uncharted game – which immediately implies it's at least a decent game – I found it didn't engage me as the last two did. I was there with Nate as far as I'm concerned in the last two. This one my mind started drifting a few times…Once the details came out I was actually thinking "another chase to an end-of-the-world artifact to prevent someone with two much money from killing us all story", but then I realized it was the telling of said story and not the premise that was leaving me bored.

The controls are shit and they turned me off going for the platinum even though I did it for UC and UC2. Lining up shots was moderately frustrating (not just annoying) on hard so I'm not gonna put up with it on crushing even though it can be done, no way. While Nate is out of cover and pointing all over the place to try to center on a guy 10 feet away, I'll get hit so hard and so fast I'll travel back in time. To be fair there's also the fact that they put A HUNDRED treasures in again that's stopping me from a platinum. I can't justify wasting so MUCH TIME looking for 100 hidden and useless items for a second time. And it bores the crap out of me too. That is all.
