No need to resort to insults, it's a genuine question (which you deliberately avoided, so I'll take that as a "no"). Pretty sure that I was playing video games back when you were a twinkle in your father's eye, but that's besides the point. You can call Uncharted anything but a "generic shooter" unless your definition of "generic shooter" includes puzzles, treasure hunting etc. - shooting is a prominent element of the game, but it's just one of its many elements. The genre you're looking for is "third-person action adventure". Going by your logic, Legend of Zelda games are Hack 'n Slash games because you slash things with a sword. I guess a game's not a real game unless it has the Nintendo logo on it, duly noted, Nintenatkoden.
Didn't avoid it, just got carried away and forgot about it. I edited the post a few seconds after it, you're free to scroll up and read the final answer.
And sure, you can call me "Nintenatkoden" (pretty originalnot), so I guess I can keep calling you Wikipedia Guy. Or maybe Generic game lover? Or just Good games hater. Whatever suits you (I'm guessing all of them).
I'm old enough to not get carried away with E3 trailers about big budget games, specially when we've already seen this game 5 (maybe more if you include The Last of Us, a DLC for Uncharted 3) times in the past. Play one, you've played the rest.
Also, puzzles? Jesus... a blind mongoloid albino kid with a gbatemp account can finish that game in one sitting. It's extremely linear and the so-called puzzles resolve themselves. Want a good puzzle? Try Professor Layton (beware, it doesn't include explosions and cheesy, forgetable characters). But I'm guessing you won't like it since it's a real game and for a Nintendo console.
Treasure hunting? It's just turning around corners and checking if something is shining. Like the pidgeon hunting in GTA IV. TREASURE HUNTING: THE GAME.
etc = nothing else. Don't lie to yourself.
