The Castle in ICO is NOT the Shrine of Worship from SotC

I almost forgot when blue zombies and fantastical elements akin to the Indiana Jones series were realistic, but that's just me in my world. I don't know what it's like over where you live.

 

Indiana Jones is too realistic. Zombies are too obvious.

 

Lol at Indiana Jones being too realistic. Nazis looking for holy artifacts that actually exist?

1.Opening the Ark and ghosts coming out of it and melting faces
2. An Indian priest being able to take people's hearts out with the person A) Dying and B) leaving a scar. They only die when he puts the heart in the lava.
3. Voodoo works.
4. An invisible bridge across a cliff
5. The last knight from the round table is alive.
6. Elsa rapidly decays (or ages I believe) and he dies
7. Indy falling off a cliff stuck on a tank, only to reappear on the edge of the cliff around 15 feet away from where the tanks fell.
8. Refridgerator + Indy = indestructable
9. Shia Laboeuf swinging across a jungle and catching up to speeding jeeps, WITH MONKEYS.
10. Aliens.

Let's also not forget moments like Indy using an inflatable raft and falling 50 feet from an airplane, or going off a water fall in a jeep etc etc. There's a ton more in Indiana Jones. Uncharted is essentially the same as Indiana Jones, not that it's a bad thing.

Indiana Jones and Uncharted maybe rooted in reality but they are far from being realistic, the two series take a lot of suspension of belief, a lot more than a lot of realistic games like CoD or the sort. Indiana Jones and Uncharted have a ton of fantastical elements, you're just not looking at them.

 

Without giving too much of Uncharted 2 away, let's just say, as Nat said, it's rooted in reality but far from realistic.

You are looking for a mystical stone that is first said to grant great riches, but you later find holds a much deeper secret. You are taken to secret lands that obviously would never exist, you fight practically bulletproof voodoo like enemies, it's far from being too "real." I mean, going along the length of a train, shooting down a chopper, ultimately derailing the train, fighting and winning against a tank SINGLE HANDEDLY while having to run around and collect single rockets to fight it with, is all very unrealistic. All because it looks pretty and is based in real-esque environments means nothing.

Like I said, the only people who don't like the Uncharted games are those who haven't played them. You also have the people who are really bad at it, so they would consider it a bad game anyways.

 

That sounds like a normal person's day.

Wait, that's not normal?

 

i can haz ur life?

 

Sorry, I mixed that up with my day planner.

 

Yeah, I do that a lot.
