Shorty Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 @Daft what are your thoughts on this? Quick question, should I dust off the PS3 and finish Uncharted 3 before I play this? (Probably just set it to easy and rush through) Wasn't a huge fan, gave up on it half way through and don't really remember the story anyway. Looking for a deciding vote :p
Daft Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 If you can hold off Uncharted 4 I'd probably just do it. It's not the greatest game but it's hardly awful. Just rattle it off in a couple sittings on Easy.
Sheikah Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 @Daft what are your thoughts on this? Looking for a deciding vote :p Skip it. Get to da UC4.
Shorty Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Did the whole atrocious last level of Uncharted 3, when I got to the final cut scene I realised I'd already finished it after all :p
drahkon Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Speedrun, Crushing and >70% accuracy run, done. Got a lot of the "kill x amount of enemies with x" trophies. Will focus on collectibles now and get the remaining hidden trophies. : peace:
Cookyman Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 How you all getting on with the multiplayer? Here's some personal highlights! Great video - check out the dance off at the end!
dwarf Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 How about that freak ranked match encounter with me in which I rinsed you? Currently in the Diamond III rank in TDM which is two tiers from maximum I think. Played the multiplayer a shit ton already so I'm eager for new maps, otherwise I'm not sure about it's longevity. Having put the time in to unlock most of the loadout points (24/26) I feel like I should stick around. Even after extensive time with the online I'm not sure I enjoy it as much as U3 - sometimes the mysticals and sidekicks are cool, other times I'd like a return to the basics with map weapon spawns. Finished the campaign tonight. The last 5 or 6 chapters were terrific, up until then the game was a bit hit and miss for me but overall I'd say it's the best in the series. NaughtyDog have come a long way in every department.
drahkon Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 This is just incredible...some random rocks have a real 3D model and physics. The attention to detail in this game is breathtaking.
Jimbob Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 You sometimes get a game where you just don't want it to end because it's that good/breathtaking. Yeah, this is one of them games for me. Even though i've not completed it yet (i'm somewhat about 1/2 way through Chapter 12), it's a surefire contender for Game of the Year.

I also felt the same about Witcher 3
Happenstance Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I'm enjoying Uncharted 4 a lot but I'm not sure it'll end up being my GOTY. Its not grabbed me like 2 did where I just couldnt put it down. Doom I think could be a possibility, I'm not too far into that yet but what I have played as left a big smile on my face as I've been playing it. Of course all of this will probably mean nothing be the end of the year. I mean No Man's Sky comes out next month!
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I've not been feeling too well today, so I think that's had an impact on my enjoyment of the game today. I found these a bit tedious to play, tbh. The Nate/Elena interaction was great, very emotional. But, there were a few too many gunfights and those fucking exploding mummies just pissed me off. Aside from that, these sections weren't terrible by any means and the game is still EASILY at least a 9/10.
Sheikah Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Just finished the game. I wasn't super impressed with it to be honest - it's amazing graphically and has great set pieces, but the shooting did generally not feel great and I think the general business of ledge hopping, dropping boxes and doing boosts has worn a bit thin on me. It felt great in the early days of PS3 but doesn't quite entertain me the same way now.
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I'm getting pretty pissed off and bored with this now. Up to Chapter 17, it was great and a real joy to play. I'm on Chapter 20 now and it's just an absolute fucking grind. Naughty Dog really ran out of ideas here. Here's a shooting sequence. Here. Have 20 enemies. Ok, you got through those 20...but what about THESE DOZEN? Ok, you just about made it through that...here's another 20. Just fuck off. The game was so beautifully balanced up until the last three or so chapters and it's become far too monotonous. Even if they cut the amount of enemies by half I'm not sure it would be enough.

Agree with you 100% on this. I was actually quite happy when I reached the end.
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I've finished it. The final two chapters were better than what came before it. Good boss fight at the end that I quite enjoyed and I LOVED the epilogue. Chapters 18-20 really soured the game for me, though. They were boring, tedious, not-fun and not really all that varied. They really just ramped up the enemies x 100 and left you to it. It's a shame, as everything up until that point was wonderful. Chapter 16 (The Brothers Drake) was excellent and a real high point for me. The chapter with the clock puzzle was also great. It's a shame that there wasn't a bit more variety at the end or if they had just simply toned down the amount of bullet-magnets that you had to get through... Overall, I loved the game. Buuuuuut, I'm finding it hard to place it due to those few chapters.

I'm feeling the same to be fair. Chapter 19 was decent, but i'm with you on Chapter 20. Enemies after enemies, felt like Uncharted of old. Certainly does feel like Naughty Dog are running low on ideas, because right up to this chapter i was certainly enjoying myself. Probably polish it off this evening, before cracking on with the multiplayer and seeing what it's about.
Aneres11 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 I have only just started this. Enjoying it so far, as expected, but the combat bits I'm not a huge fan of just yet. Why do I get the feeling there's going to be loads of them? I just hope it isn't overloaded with it in the same annoying way that Batman had the tank sections at every turn which wore me down. But so far, loving playing it!

Why do I get the feeling there's going to be loads of them? In fairness there is far, far fewer than previous titles and at least there's more than one way to approach them now. They do still suck a bit though.
Jimbob Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) And that is that, done and dusted with the campaign What a game, ok i wasn't a fan of 2 chapters in particular. That being the exploding mummies in chapter 19, and the onslaught of enemies in chapter 20. But otherwise, the rest of the game was fantastic. Great story, loved exploring the Pirate island and discovering the life of a pirate. The driving sections were not too bad either, and ultimately the combat was a lot better than previous titles. Even with the different ways to take down groups was enjoyable. Loved the boss battle, sword fighting in Avery's ship. Loved it. The new way to maneuver around was interesting, letting you plan which way to climb or do things was great. Being able to slowly climb a wall and watching Drake's hands and feet move in each direction was neat. And the environmental features, wow. And now, onto the multiplayer and to see what that is all about. Edited May 23, 2016 by Jimbob
