10 Video Game Finales That Totally Ruined Their Trilogies

7. Uncharted 3

By itself, Uncharted 3 isn't necessarily a 'bad' video game - it's just too much of the same, coming from a series that saw a monumental step up between Uncharted's 1 and 2.

On the gameplay side, Naughty Dog mentioned that they really just wanted to see what crazy concoctions of code they could conjure up when it came to level design. Hence the overturned tanker, a ton of physics-based set-pieces like the aeroplane crash, and levels that occasionally felt overwhelming when it came to enemy placement and the amount of things happening at once.

Drake didn't receive any new abilities other than the option to kick out of an enemy grabbing him, and it ended up making U3 feel like a strange entry in the series overall. Like a tacked-on sequel in an action franchise; you knew what you were getting, but the shrug of "meh" has gone on to symbolise its existence ever since.
