Owning a PS3 and having used it very little, I decided I needed to check out some of these exclusives that PS3 fans are always on about.
I've played through most of the first Resistance: Fall of Man, which was once the PS3 exclusive I was most excited about being able to play when I got my PS3. I found it underwhelming and to be a really, really basic shooter, I still haven't beaten it. I hear the second one is a lot better, maybe I'll just skip ahead. Killzone 2 is kind of the same way, pretty basic FPS, nothing new or special at all, haven't played Killzone 3 yet though.
After beating The Last of Us, I decided to give Uncharted: Drake's Fortune a go. It is actually a pretty crappy game. A lame cliched one liner smart-ass hero who gets pretty annoying, endless hoards of bad guys nonsensically popping up everywhere and one of the worst duck and cover systems I've encountered in a third person game, basic Tomb Raider-esque puzzles and tedious jumping/climbing sequences.
There is absolutely nothing special or groundbreaking about this game. It doesn't do anything this sort of game hasn't done before. How is this such a highly acclaimed series? Maybe the second and third game in the series just really go all out and turn this into something amazing? I heard they are really short, so I am going to just keep going with it and work my way to the second one, which everyone says is the best.
My experience with PS3 exclusives so far has made me really glade I bought a 360 back in 2008. I would have missed out on Halo, Bioshock, and Left 4 Dead, instead getting crummy Tomb Raider clones and generic first person shooters.
