crocodile 8,000 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Started Uncharted 4. So far it looks great, but there is a lot more cutscenes. And they are lengthy indeed. Fortunately, it's all involving and entertaining. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm going to loan it from a friend after he's finished with it. I don't want to pay 40+ for a 1-play campaign on this occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Finally got around to finishing Uncharted 2. I found it to be fairly middling overall. Some individual moments are fun but the endless gunfights get tiring. I didn't particularly like the lead (struck me as a loud-mouth Nathan Fillion wannabe) and some moments felt way too melodramatic for what is essentially a breezy Indiana Jones adventure. The score is boring. I'm enjoying the 3rd one much more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,000 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The second one? Yeah. The fourth one is just as good, though. At least. It's not like it tries to change the formula or offer you anything you've never seen. It's just a perfect execution of a concept that you love. Cynics might say it's just more of the same. And they would be right. But it's just so much damn fun that I don't care. And it looks awesome too.

crocodile 8,000 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Enjoy! I picked up that 2013 Tomb Raider game for PS4. Finished Nathan Drake's latest adventure and needed something in the same vein. It's ok. Nothing amazing, though. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,000 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I just bought used copy of that. So can't say that I wasted any money. And it's not a bad game. Just a bit monotonous visually. I get it,a grim and gritty reboot and all. But there's only so much murkiness I can stomach. Anyway, have you started Uncharted 4? Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,352 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Do Uncharted 4's cutscenes ease up any the further you get into the game? I'm reluctant to skip them on the first play-through, but having to wait to get into the thick of the action wasn't a part of the previous 3 games.

crocodile 8,000 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Why would anyone want to skip cutscenes? They are really good and help in forming attachment to characters. Even though those games are really linear and you can't change the narrative I really felt affection for all those characters and the new game develops them further. I actually cared about them.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Depends on why you're playing the game again. The narrative, acting, and presentation are the reasons to play Uncharted, in my opinion. If you just want some gunplay action, there are better games out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having an issue with them myself for the first couples of hours of the campaign, I very nearly commented on it here. But they DO draw back a fair bit after a while, they eventually let the player just get on with playing without constant interruption. Thankfully. I had a similar problem with the last game in this regard. Sweeping Strings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 It's $60, there's no demo, the odds of meeting another living person are allegedly small, and it's very ambitious. I'll wait for it to go on sale around Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
