So I beat the game. While it's an amazing game polished up the wazoo, it never really reaches the same peaks as uncharted 2.
There's some great setpieces but nothing really stands out as much as the train sequence from U2, or the Helicopter chase scene on the rooftop.
The villains also seem pretty weak in comparison the Lazarevic's looming unstoppable badass vibe. They could have really benefitted from more development and exposition other than THEY'RE BAD GUYS WHO BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME.
I also wish a few plot threads had been explored a bit more, mostly Nate's background, and who the secret society Marlowe and Talbot belong to was. Oh and what that funky jungle juice Talbot was shooting people up with and how he could control people with it.
