15 Most Overrated Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)
12. Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
Naughty Dog are by far one of the greatest game developers known to man. They're responsible for some of the most lovable characters in the history of the medium, and unlike almost any triple A developer this side of Rockstar, aren't afraid to gleefully experiment to see what insane scenarios they can conjure up.
However, with Uncharted 3 there was an overwhelming feeling that the core tale of Drake's adventures just didn't need to be told. Was there really much impetus to flesh out how a young Drake met Sully, as well as gameplay-wise having set-piece after set-piece just for the sake of it?
There was nothing inherently wrong with the gameplay or art direction therein - it is Naughty Dog after all, everything looked spectacular - but when it came to actually playing Uncharted 3, there weren't any core innovations to Drake's movement or level design, and the approaches therein were exactly the same, save for a level set aboard a capsized ship. When all was said and done there was nay one sequence you'd want to see again or show off to anyone else, and for such a spectacle-filled Uncharted 2, that was a shame.
