Am I crazy, or did I just miss the boat? (Gaming)

Halfway through Uncharted 3, and while the character interactions and gameplay are even better than in 2, the only real "big" sequence has been the castle fire. I guess those podcast folks that you listen to are really big on Hollywood sequences rather than on characters and story.

3 had the coolest moment with the ship sinking. Here you have cover based combat, where your cover is now sliding around the deck and hold of the ship because it's sinking. So not only do you have to avoid getting crushed by the crates, but you have to constantly move around as they slide around the ship. Then, it starts sinking and flips sideways. Suddenly the climbing aspect of the game is turned upside down (literally). It was really cool looking at everything upside down and figuring out how to make my way out. It was the most balls out awesome level I'd ever played at the time. This was 'big'.
