It was a decent watch, wish I had saw it in theaters instead of waiting for the blu ray though

I'm on chapter 14 right now and loving it. Its probably the comfiest game I've ever played. Also the grass and foliage looks so fucking good

I beat it in 12 hours ill give you my honest thoughts

Gameplay design - its shit, all I did was climb (Mash X) for 9 hours. The other 3 hours was either slow walking, puzzles, or the occasional gunfight with basically AI dummies like any other shooter campaign.
This is not exaggerating either.

Graphics- Not always great but has its moments, First moments in madagascar and when you are on the final island is where the game shines the most. Some of the best graphics I've seen for sure, as much as I hate saying it

Story- straight garbage. Its an endless wild goose chase for the lost treasure that will keep stroking your dick but this climax is weak. The development is the best thing between the brothers because the scenes were well executed but the material that is there is literally generic tier. Nothing amazing about it at all. Oh and the villain isn't even in the game 90% of the time even though we know hes around, and his motivations was weak/bitch/pussy tier.

Sound/Music - meh tier forgettable

I'll give it a 6 because of the god awful gameplay design, and meh story. It is literally all graphics. Good thing I rented on redbox for 3$ and beat it on the day of.

Yes she does beat them but drake jump slams them both through the ground, she doesnt die tho at the end she leaves you and main villain in a burning ship and she just disappears with no mention afterwards. The ending is they find the pirate lost treasure and get away with a bit of it, Drake and Elena have a daughter and just live a normal life on a beach, Sam and Sully work together now on stuff idk?

the writing is standard mediocre unintetesting video game tier writing. besides the boring as fuck rope not a single mechanic has changed or been added since 2007. climbing is mind numbing boring and doesn't even qualify as platforming, shooting is exactly the same -- passable, and the rest of the game is qtes. voice acting is "good", but really it's just nolan north and troy baker phoning in decent performances like always since most VAs are anime tier. it's not a very good game. also besides vegetation densit and facial models the graphics are mediocre. textures lod and geometry are weak. critics get caught up in detailed character models though and ignore the visuals that make up 99.9% of the game

Bioshock Infinite is worse because it's a step backwards from both of its predecessors in every way. Uncharted 4 might be a cinematic movie game with 3rd person shooting mechanics sprinkled in, but it's not like they removed stuff from the previous installments.

I thought it was alright, I don't know where the 10/10s and 94s are coming from. I think they just give them that rating because there are no MASSIVE discernible flaws.

Being an action-adventure game doesn't mean the gameplay has to be shallow. How you add depth is dependent on the genre and those other games sure have more effort put into their gameplay than Uncharted has.

Or you can just make cool, cinematic cutscenes and parts of gameplay and the fans will eat it up as well. I mean, as long as it sells, right?

It might have an upgrade system but actually fighting enemies feels a lot shittier in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Also the faux-open world nature of the game doesn't add anything to the experience, especially when they start trying to dish out quests like it's an RPG.

Even first person shooters have weapon upgrade systems now, doesn't make Crysis any better than Doom. Upgrade systems can be fun but not every game needs them. Sometimes not having an upgrade wall added to your move set/weapon choice can be fun. I'd see no difference if they decided to have Drake's jumping, climbing, and rope swinging abilities locked behind an upgrade wall. I prefer it the way it is.

not really, I own both of them and Quantum Break is not superior.

What also sucks abut Quantum Break is you don't get all of your powers until act 4 at which point the game is basically over. They also make you re-play certain areas, it was American Nightmare all over again.

Gameplay is improved. I like being able to stealth more and the jeep is fun. Still the weakpoint of the game, however.

Pacing is absolutely perfect. Whether it's a set piece, action sequence or just a chilled out exploring time, it keeps you totally engaged and into the moment.

Per usual with this franchise, the set pieces are fucking awesome. The whole clock tower segment literally had me on the edge of my seat. I think I held my breath for like the last minute of that.

Photo mode is really cool. Wish I had discovered it sooner. Will play a 2nd time to explore more and take a bunch of pics.

The flashbacks to Nate and Sam's childhood have worked really well too.

Needs more puzzles tho.

Overall it's a great game for what it is. If this is Nate's last adventure they did it well.

>>
>>337258931
>Still the weakpoint of the game, however.
I liked it when Naughty Dog focused more on the gameplay, when they were making Crash and Jak&Daxter.
Apparently the lead devs back then were very meticulous about the gameplay design to the point where it was occasionally frustrating to the designers because they wanted the gameplay to feel really good.
Jak 3 feels really snappy and precise, but Uncharted 1 doesn't.
You can really tell the original lead designers of the studio had left by that point.

But they gotta follow the times, I guess, and 2007 was prime time for "man with a gun" type of games.
>>
I've never understood the Uncharted haters. I mean, the game has never tried to be something it isn't. It's Michael Bay on PS4. It's about taking players along for the ride, not so much about the gameplay or the multiplayer.

If that's what you're after, Uncharted isn't the franchise for you. If you enjoy kicking back and going along for a ride then you'll love it. But leave the unrealistic expectations at the door.

I wouldn't call it the greatest game ever. I still the 2 was the best Uncharted, anyway. But from a pure enjoyment point a view, I've probably had more fun playing Uncharted than I have any other franchise in my life...except maybe WoW?

But I think that's what Naughty Dog's intention was from the start. For the players to have fun. Pacing is so important in the series that dying a lot would throw that off. It's a choreographed script whose only intention is for the player to press x or o at the right time.

So yeah...greatest ever? Nah. But I'm not jaded enough to deny that it's been a super fun ride with Nate.

>>337258456
I could agree if Uncharted had any depths in its mechanics and challenge being something more than "choose how long your enemies take to aim and shoot at you via the difficulty setting". Doom has different enemy types, different threats, a meaningful level design and the gameplay is fast. UC has nothing of that. just weapons and cover shooting against the same lemming enemies with a variable reaction time depending on your difficulty setting.
>>
>>337252169
Final boss fight was kinda lame and Nadine just fucking leaving was disappointing.
Otherwise I really enjoyed the game. Would have been best in the series if the last boss was better.

The problem is that these games cost extraordinary amounts of resources to make bland Hollywood movies. It is one of the reason gameplay in modern games is stagnating.
By buying those games you're just telling the industry that substance doesn't matter and that setpieces are fine.

I mean, why do we have to wait on indies to have challenging gameplay mechanics? Why does it must be indies that make Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, puzzle games like Spacechems and only them who actually bring something new?
>>
its a very good game and I am having fun. Though I do think they overdue a new mechanic in certain spots but usually said mechanics are fun especially in combat.
>>
>>337267982

The idea is to have fun. There are several ways that can be achieved. Uncharted has been wildly successful because players enjoy it. How self centered do you have to be to think everyone's wrong and you're right?

Buy what you enjoy and not what you don't. If everyone does this the market takes care itself.

It's like movie fans complaining about superhero movies. People go watch so studios make.

It is like saying that Marvel movies and dumb capeshit who could be directed by anyone are what cinema should be. People buy it because the audience mostly doesn't give a shit about videogames and buy Uncharted between two call of duty and Fallout 4, without caring for what has been done before.

That's just regressing, and critics keep on applauding watered down shit that just want to be marvel level movies.

If you're writing on /v/, you're supposed to know something and having played videogames older than a few years. And what UC does isn't even on par with Dead Space, neither in the gameplay department, nor in the level design, nor in its gamefeel.

Saying "it's ok, it's fun", is like the "9.0, it's okay" of IGN. If you have any self-respect and any taste, you just can't approve this shit beyond the technical demonstration aspect.

On Marooned, its alright so far. While I do like the slower paced missions where you just explore and don't shoot, theres just too much fucking climbing and it's a crime to have the best shooting mechanics in the franchise but hardly use them for the first half of the game.

That's exactly why there's nothing to gain in saying "wow, did you play this average shit overly marketed?"
Praising those games for anything but graphics is just being ignorant. If you want more adventure games doing things better, there are gigantic lists of good games that wouldn't cost you more than 4-5 dollars and which couldn't be summed up by saying "uh.. It's a treasure hunt hollywood movie game, it does the job, I guess."

If "y" game is what people wanted to play, they'd make it as well. It's not like there's some cap on the amount of game developers and money out there.

If whatever game you want isn't being made enough that's because there isn't enough interest in it.

yea, and while the 2nd half does pick up the pace i still felt like there were way too few combat encounters.
also the 2nd half has like no globetrotting and doesn't change scenery much wich sucks ass for an uncharted game.
in U2 you had like Icey Tibet followed by green shamballah towards the end.

the driving was also shit, like it was AMAZING in madagascar but after that it just felt tacked on, going from point a to B with some shitty puzzles inbetween.

I guess we at least have the multiplayer for more gameplay.
should have called the game "Uncharted 4: watch Nathan Drake and co climb beautiful landscapes"

Yeah, the only thing they did was say that Sam and Sully were still alive, but weren't really clear as to what the hell they were doing. I thought you'd see them, but instead all you got was Nate and Elena in an overly long scene barely start to tell the story from the first game instead.

Excepting that development costs are sky high now because of the constant "better consoles, better games" thing. We don't have the variety of the AA devs anymore and only can rely on indies to make good games with poor production values.

It's really a bad time for gaming.

>>337252169
Gets good eventually. Worst opening in the series. Sam as a kid sounds like Joe Piscopo and you spend waaaaay too long climbing around for no real reason, shitty melee fights, and not having a clue why any of it is happening. But by chapter 7 or so it picks up.

I'm at the end of 9 and just starting to feel like it's Uncharted. But to the trolls, it still isn't close to a movie even at it's slowest. You're still playing, find a new argument.

Nadine is a completely nonthreatening baddie though. Goddamn she could not feel less badass. Just saying she's hardcore with an army doesn't cut it. Show me she's ruthless because so far she's a bumbling joke.

Why the fuck was I not able to put up a fight in the study of that mansion? Why does that ugly black woman make Nathan her bitch with no shoes on?
>>
>>337271278
dude you are right it's not a movie.
but 80% of the game are cutscenes AND climbing
followed by 20% combat and puzzles.
the middle of the game is probably the best part.
Nadine sucks, Rafe is fucking awesome, despite being a little underused.

the game really lacks rediculous setpieces. like the previous games.
>>337271460
yea U2 and U3 were better in that regard.
>>
>>337271610
Nadine is PMC leader and nate is retired fortune hunter, it made sense to be on the losing side there

It has one of the slowest and monotonous openings to a game that I've ever played. It's comparable to the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II.
>>
i really enjoyed the game
but i wish there was way less gunfights and more exploration
>>
>>337271610

I felt like that was such bullshit too. With the amount of experience Nathan has in fighting, he should have been able to kick her ass or at the very least keep up with her.

Sam is a beast, I wanted to play as him more than Nate at some points.
The dialogue choices felt out of place though, I only counted about 3 of them and they all were on,y used during the first act, like why put them there if you're not gonna have them play a big part?
Storyline was great as always.
For some reason, Nate forgot how to fight like he did in uncharted 3.
Villains were decent, final boss was fun.
Overall 10/10, best in the series and a fitting end.

It's possible to have a fun game with a lot of cinematic setpieces and high dramatic action without also making the gameplay simplistic, boring garbage.

Look at Platinum, Team Ninja, or Visceral. Or for a more extreme example, ZUN or CAVE.

Tell me how you could emulate Indiana Jones films in a way that's better than what Uncharted did.

You know, Lucas/Spielberg were working on a Indiana Jones game, and when Uncharted came out, they told everyone to start working on something else, they had been beat.

>>337276494
Most likely happening this E3. Do you not remember the Crash Bandicoot t-shirt last year? Also, Activision was not in the credits of Uncharted 4 even though you could play Crash Bandicoot 1 in Uncharted 4.

The multiplayer is the definition of tacked on, I'm actually disappointed with it. I know it's not the main attraction but every time I heard /v/ talk about uncharted they said the multiplayer was fun
>>
Playing through and enjoying the game. Some things i would change.

1) get rid of the boring combat. Hell if i made this game , i wouldnt have any antagonist. The fun from these games come from exploring. Not only is the combat just not fun , it ruins your immersion. "Nathan drake murders a whole group of innocent security guards and people on private property- next second "woah dont kill that black female, we surrender " it just doesnt flow or fit

2) get rid of needleas drama. The game should be a fun adventure game. The parts where drake wife shows up just is such a downer and slowed the whole thrill of adventure.

Yea so really those two things would make the game amazing.
>>

Literally just finished the game, It started a little slowly but it picked up. I really enjoyed the game like I really enjoyed the other 3 games. 2 is still the best one but I genuinely like the stories in these games and the characters. Gameplay is a nice balance of combat, puzzles and platforming like always.
The ending was also especially nice, the series is wrapped up neatly.

The VERY next game (Jak X) had a Memory Card glitch that could completely corrupt it (which happened to me), and in their infinite wisdom and tact they flat out refused to fix it or offer compensation to the point Sony had to step in. Their arrogance and incompetence can be traced to right there.
>>
>>337252169
Pretty good so far. Intro/first 2 hours are a little slow but after that the game really gets going. I'm really enjoying it, in one of the last areas of the game. There is a lot of exploring and jumping, so it feels a bit more like a platformer hybrid. The first uncharted teased you as though there would be exploring and there really wasn't any. Uncharted was a shooting game. This game actually has lots of exploring and jumps that aren't just "press x for something cinematic but totally safe."

Amazing graphics and art direction, one of the few times I decided to take screenshots with my PS4.

The shootouts are actually really good because the arena design is top notch and a very good sandbox for the shootouts. They moved away from the emphasis on corridor shooting.

Very cool explosion/crazy stuff is happening sequences, but this time they serve the gameplay to a greater extent than just watching stuff explode. They aren't as frequent as say 2 or 3 but they are substantively better.

Don't like Nadine. I have no problem with her being a woman, but I just feel like Drake and Sam have shown superhuman strength throughout the entire game, no way does one person toss both of them around. But that sequence was awesome.
>>
>>337267982
But to be fair, buying and liking the Uncharted games, of which there are 4 now and likely to be no more, isn't really doing that. Lapping up yearly releases would be
>>
>>337252169
Only a few hours in, and I am really enjoying it. It's a shallow experience, sure, but one that is also deeply engaging and fun. Currently I don't care for re playability and after finishing Dark Souls 3 and Nioh last week I just want some mindless fun.

That said, here are some pros:
>game is really full of surprises that take you back in time and around the world
>improved shooting and fighting in general with stealth now, also bigger sandbox areas are great
>looks amazing, feels good to play, tons of little details I love
>pretty good story, well written
>Sam is a great character
>diving, I really love diving in games
>really comfy to play
>again, cinematic moments where you keep controlling the character, basically why Uncharted is above most action games
>this wasn't noticed by people, but really well made tutorial, for example how it teaches you sliding and destructible cover system

Cons:
>melee fighting pretty clunky and half scripted
>later part of the game has too much of samey locations
>a bit too many cutscenes at the start
>AI is really dumb, especially in stealth
>didnt notice too many big set pieces (that said, I think 2 and 3 also didnt have that many, I should replay those)

Then why are they being praised as emotional and storytelling masterpieces then? Last I checked Michael Bay movies are (rightly) renowned for being complete and utter garbage, and these same game critics who would shit all over his movies are praising this as the second coming.

See, THIS is the corruption GG neede to fight against, not literally who indie devs fucking their way to a half decent review for a game that wouldn't have got nearly as much press otherwise if not for the very movement that condemned it.

I get the gripe, but I think Uncharted is the one series that actually pulls it off. I don't like that this is the way games have gone either, but I am totally fine with Uncharted and I think these kind of games have their place, just not a prominent place at the forefront of the medium.

>>337254895
Just beat it a few minutes ago. And I mostly agreed with everything you have said. The graphics are amoung the best the gen can offer. The gameplay is bog standard Uncharted game with too many linear paths. The story has middle of the road. To me, it is on the same level as Uncharted 2's story. Which I consider both 4 and 2 being the best the franchise can get, but still being meh in the grand scheme of gaming.

I like Sam's interactions with Nathan, but it also gave an issue with the story being really predictable when the whole Alcazar ruse twist happened. Because for me it was obvious there was going to be a scene in which he'll die or get nearly killed at the end. And surprise! That does happen. I really feel the Alcazar storyline should of not been this red haring. Because Al was definitely a better ground work for a villain then Rafe.

Before anyone say I'm an idiot. I Redboxed it as well.

Though the concept for Uncharted 4 is good, since I always questioned something like Indiana Jones living a normal life. But also it is really odd that the epilogue in U4 has a massive dissonance issue. What will Cassie's parents say when they tell their daughter they killed thousands of mercenaries in their travels.
>>
>>337252169

I have a specific question about this game. Does it take dramatic elements from TLOU?

All reviews mention "the feels" but Uncharted was not about that. It was supposed to be a summer flick Indiana jones rip off.

The minimalist intimacy of relationships with a sepia filter was TLOU thing, and for that game it works but Uncharted is not supposed to go that way.

So my question, without spoilers is, did they fuck that up?
>>
>>337259832

I got really disappointed by the big twist. I wanted it so that there were 3 parties. One for the treasure. One to save Sam and the other is to get the treasure and kill Sam.

It would of made the story much more heftier on Sam's involvement in the story. Rather then him being just Nate, but with adventuring addiction. Because Rafe's party will most likely leave Sam alive as he needs him. And Nate wants to pull Sam away from Rafe. Where as Al is on a manhunt. It would of been a race that would of have more on the line.

Also no protagonists dying in this game was kinda lame. But then again the writers put themselves in a writing trap by having Al say, "You have 3 months and you'll die if you don't have the treasure by then."

Which makes us presume Al will either get close to killing Sam or he would straight up kill him. Then the twist happens and Rafe takes that role instead.

Game was fun as hell. Favorite moment is the one where you're driving through jumping from car to car. Grappling is fun too.

Foliage was pretty spectacular as the games graphics shine in the foresty areas and the mountains. As far as "muh cinematic"-- had lots of cinematic events but not movie 1886 tier. Really comfy to play at night. Puzzles were easier this time around -- nothing cool.

I'm kinda disappointed that Nathan didn't brag more to her daughter since I wanted to see her get btfod by all the shit he did.

As I said. The game is really predictable because of that goddamn Sam flashback of him escaping jail.

Also it was predictable either way. If Sam dies then I predicted that to happen. And if he doesn't I already knew that was another option. So both are really obvious outcomes for the character.

They wrote themselves into a trap that they shouldn't of have.

What I'm saying is that the main protagonists in this game have ridiculous plot-convenience/armor. Literally no one dies but the bitch ass villain. The game wrote itself into a trap. They could of done something different with the story. Or if they do this story. Make it have more risks. Because even though crashing buildings and millions of mercenaries run up to you. The game has very little risks story wise.

Thanks. I'll consider it then... though i really like the simple ending the third one had you know, Nate got the girl, Sully his plane and business as usual.

That kind of cliche ending is the essence of movies like Indiana Jones or The mummy and that's what i expect from Uncharted.
Even the new Tomb Raider games go for a darker tone with all the trauma and all that... which is some sort of actualization to how stories take themselves today so i was kind of worried that Uncharted had decided to go on that direction too and every review pointed to that.

And off-course i can't actually check this aspect on reviews without spoiling the story.

I admit that most of the platforming in the previous games are very light on gameplay mechanics but the draw came from you as a player having to navigate through it.
However that point is fucking null in Uncharted 4 when you swing around and piton pore surfaces and pull objects with your rope and all kinds of shit.

Way better than all other 3rd person shooters. Way better in the 4th entry.

Did they SERIOUSLY have Nadine beat on Nate and friends (not to mention shoving all the mercenaries down their throat) the whole fucking game and let her get away scot free with only literally a slap?

Just played the 8 first chapters I think? We just arrived in Scotland and stopped at a friend's and we had a lot of fun. Beautiful and story is nice.

When I'll buy a second hand ps4 in the next years I'll be sure to buy it. Can't wait to continue it.

And Nate was even hesitant as hell in killing the final boss after what he done to his brother, and even after already slaughtering basically an entire mercenary army.

There was one REALLY stupid part where Elena and Sully apparently can't follow after Nate because the cart box was wrecked, despite Nate always having a rope on hand. Especially since soon after that scene you need Nate to use his ropes (two times in a row at one time)

They dropped the ball hard in that mansion flashback level holy shit.

Epilogue sucked.
If they left it when it cut to black after Nate and Elena were done talking, then it'd be 10/10. Setting up the plot of an ABC or CW show in the Epilogue was ass.

Naughty Dogs really seems to try to cram as much fucking explosions as possible as the game approaches the end.
To the point where you wonder if they had Michael Bay breathing down their necks.

>Alcazar was a far more interesting antagonist than Rafe
>He was never actually a real threat
Marlow and Talbot were a fucking disaster but Alcazar really felt like someone who could rival Lazarevic but nope have Flynn 2.0

Everyone has been cumming over Crash Bandicoot but here I am more surprised and giddy about the Monkey Island references.

Graphics :best i ever seen (at least on ps4)
Gameplay :2 or 3 new thing but it still the same

8/10

Multiplayer is pretty fun.

Holy shit this looks fucking great.
I'm genuinely surprised.
>>
>>337291728
Yeah, but so far I'm unimpressed with some of the (limited selection of) maps. With so many great ones from the last games, it's too bad some of them didn't make the U4 launch.
The updates can't come soon enough.
