Tue 7 Aug 8.30pm - Uncharted 3 - Going for Gold

Guess what? Thats right I'm in Bristol lololol. That said the following week I'm good for both nights

 

Well you couldve let us know!! This is the first we've heard about it.

 

Won't be on tonight arranged to work early tomorrow and Thursday for the Vs Dads event

 

I'll be there tonight

 

Well thats was a mixture of painful, horrible, tedious and hilarious. I`m not sure what the solution is to get fun games on uncharted other than only playing with people you know well, but most of last nights games were decidedly unfun. I dont mind losing and I dont really care who kills me, but it is the fact that losing so badly in uncharted means you get no points and no cash so you cant even buy stuff to improve your situation and many of the other teams you meet on uncharted now are insanely hardcore you feel like sunday leaguers going up against the premiership, it is nolonger a contest, its a rout.

I suspect the problem is really that the non hardcore players have moved on to other games, so only the dedicated are left.

 

Sadly I agree playing coop or unranked is the only way for me to play. And as there are only hardcore top lvl players against us low level the game isn't fun to play ranked games.

 

If there was a better levelling/game balance system in place to even things out it wouldnt be so bad, but powerplays rarely achieve very much, especially against good players and when the game pits teams with people who havent been all the way through the multiplayer ranks once against players who have been round the block 4-5 times the result is never going to be pretty.

 

The annoying thing is the basic game idea and its execution are excellent, it has great graphics, it is very fun with the right crowd and it is unique. But it also fall prey somewhat to its own sophistication, the unlock and perks system is very much a case of the the best get better and better faster than anybody else.The new unlocks in the latest patch willsadly only make that worse. The truth is there are obviously players who play uncharted and little else, they are very very good, they are more accurate, they move with greater fluidity and as teams have tactics that are hard to break down, it is not juts about unlocks and rewards for playing longer, I dont feel I am losing out simply because they have better unlocks although it is sometimes the case, I am losing because I dont wish to put in that amount of time to get that good, even if my limited abilities as a player allow, so to be truly fair in many way my lack of success is down to me.

I still like the game, but it is harder to find the enthusiasm to play on against teams and players that I have no chance of even limited success against.

 

Thats the spirit Martok, not every session is going to be like the one we had on Tuesday, it is a good game, unfortunately some of the teams you meet are on the hardcore side.
