Forget it Internet. You're not tricking me into playing another Naughty Dog game.

I’m sorry everyone. I tried to stop myself from making this thread. I really did. But there are so many “Isn’t Naughty Dog just the greatest developer ever” posts that I’m knee deep in whatever this stuff is gushing out of all your fanboy twats. Now as the title suggests, I have not played Uncharted 4, so I will admit that I may be completely off base here. But most of what is being said has been said about past ND games. Many times I have found myself geting caught up in the hype, only to be disappointed. Their games for the most part are quite decent, but nothing that has not been done better before.

I enjoyed the Crash Bandicoot games, so when people went on and on about the Jak and Daxter series and it’s witty dialogue, amazing gameplay and dark, mature themes in the later games, I thought it all sounded fantastic. Then I played them only to find out “witty dialogue” meant Daxter constantly telling Dad jokes and “mature themes” meant characters spoke in raspy voices like teenagers whose balls haven’t dropped but they’re trying really hard to make it sound like their balls have dropped. Still, the platforming was fairly good.

Next we get Uncharted and people tell me it’s like Tomb Raider only wittier, more polished, and with better shooting. And I will say this, Nathan Drake is wittier than Daxter. Also the game is more polished and does have better shooting than Tomb Raider. The problem is they messed up everything else. The platforming is way too simplistic, and the puzzles are so insultingly straightforward I feel like they wouldn’t pass for a Zelda tutorial level. Overall though, not bad, just not great.

And finally we have The Last of Us. “The story, oh god the story, you must experience the heart wrenching story”. I will admit it has a good story for a modern videogame. But I think that is more a testament to how low a bar that is more than anything else. If this was a Walking Dead story arc, people would call it clichéd, heavy handed, and the characters one-dimensional.

So anyway, I’m sure Uncharted 4 is a good game. Play it, love it, sleep next to it. But if you feel the need to post about how the graphics are so good it’s like looking out a window, the story is so good it made you Russell Crowe ugly cry, the gameplay is so smooth it’s like a hot knife through warm butter, Naughty Dog? more like Naughty Gods! please stop, take a deep breath, remove your hands from your keyboard, put them in your pants, and spank it out. You’ll feel satisfied, and I wont have to hear about it. We’ll both be so happy.

FLAME ON!

Get laid.

mirrors my thoughts pretty much, your not alone... afterall, the Uncharted fanbase, while large, is only a fraction of gamers... and the fact that I can walk into any game store already and see plenty of traded in copies... suggests that these kinda games are just a fleeting fancy.. people more impressed with its presentation than actually playing it.

I will pick it up when its £15 if I feel like justifying my PS4's existance and cost. got pleanty of better games to play for the actual gameplay though.

lol I feel ya dude. The hype for these games gets pretty unreal. NDs games are solid, but I'll never understand the craze.

That said, I'm still buying it. It's rare for me to pick up a game for its technical achievements alone, but UC4 will be one of those games for me. I'm sure it will be fun too. Not "omg goty!!!" fun, but still enjoyable enough. I haven't played one of these weekend roller coaster ride games in a while and this is probably the best game of that type.

I fell asleep.

Indeed, from a gameplay perspective that was.... outdated, nothing to write home about.

Literally, the only impressive element is the graphics/animations.

I feel i found legit honest reviews in the neg section.

Cool Story bro, you is so cool

your parent must be so proud of you for going against the grain

I agree. They are good games, and I also played Uncharted 1 and 2 for PS3 back in the day. I stopped playing Uncharted 1, because, man, it was just kind of boring and I had other games to play. UC2 was fun, and I played through the whole thing, but the story was a cliche adventure story ala National Treasure or Sahara--crappy movies with crappy storylines. If the game were a movie, I would have turned the damn thing off.

The gameplay was fun, but it was just that, fun. It wasn't, "OMG you have to play this!" or anything. It was just good, maybe a 7 or 8, and that was it. The linearity of it all also hampered the experience.

I haven't played UC4, but I have watched video, and from what I've seen, it just mostly looks like the same crap that they did in UC2, maybe upped the scale a bit in terms of depth due to more advanced hardware.

After UC2, I just skipped UC3, altogether. Never even bothered to pick it up on sale like I did with the first 2.

OP is Jesus confirmed.

You haven't played the game yet, so... why make this thread? I agree it's not the best thing ever and not even worth that 10 it got, BUT there has to be something about it since I don't usually start replaying a game almost right after I've finished it. The last time this happened was when I finished TW3. Playing UC4 feels like playing UC2 for the first time, which also tells something about the quality of the game.

The game is a looker and it's really fun to play too, I like the shoot outs, the rope action, the possibility of stealth and so on.

For the shits and giggles, here's some video of my second playthrough on hard... oh and screw the aim assist. :P

ND games are generally very good quality titles in terms of production values, but I certainly don't think they reach 'God-like' status like PS fanboys claim.

It's mainly the story and writing that's awesome.

I'm no cow and Uncharted 4 is worth the hype.

@Epak_: Cool stream. Have you unlocked some of the bonus modes. You should play around with zero gravity mode on that difficulty. Very fun to mess around. 8bit is a funny mode that I swear someone can post here and say look at teh downgrade!!!!. Some people in sw will actually believe it.

The uncharted games are good for what they are (except for 3, 3 is awful). Like a decent big budget hollywood blockbuster they're good fun but don't think too deeply about them. One thing they always did was push the playstation graphics to the limit.

Uncharted 4 is a game I would get eventually if I had a PS4 but it is not the game that will make me get the console in the first place.

I haven't played Uncharted 4 yet either, hell I haven't even played The Last Of Us yet , from my experience with the original three Uncharted games on PS3 though I thought they were some of the most overrated games of last gen, not bad by any stretch but not that great, just so-so cover shooters at the end of the day. Only exceptional in their production values, which was quite influential across the industry, this latest game seems to keep up the trend. But I'd agree that my experience with their games wasn't up to what Sony fanboys hyped them to be, not even close. That was probably my biggest turn off for trying The Last Of Us, for three games I just couldn't keep up with that labored cultish gobbledygook.

Anyhow, I got a PS4, it's my least played console after my Wii U, so I might as well get this. The action side of the gameplay does look fun, I couldn't care less about some of the things it's praise like the cutscenes as some of them seem dull, photo-realistic for sure and even 2nd to none in the motion capture and animation, but cutscenes are still cutscenes and I'm in it for gamepaly, so I'm hoping they've upped their shooter game. If they put a fraction of the effort into their shooter game as they've put into everything else then it should be a satisfying experience.

OK, blog it or something.

@judaspete: I hear ya dude. When the God term is put into anything by gamers it crosses into puke fest, corny ass shit territory. I love the games, am happy the devs are being recognized for their hard work but you don't have to metaphorically go down on them. Its pathetic.

I cracked up

Might want to give TLoU a shot. While its presentation is identical in nature to the Uncharted series, it's quite a different experience altogether. I don't really care for any Uncharted except 2 and this new one, but they still pale in comparison (imo) to TLoU which I consider Naughty Dog's crowning achievement.

Just saying you shouldn't write off TLoU based on Uncharted as they are different games in style, pacing, tone, and mechanics.

Naughty Dog > CDPR

I picked it up along with my PS4 since I never had it on PS3, but I just haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Like I said in my thread about Sony Exclusives, Uncharted 1,3 and TLOU are turds. Completely agree OP.

Can't wait to jump on the Nintendo bandwagon with NX since Sony & Microsoft are pissing me off too much.

As much as I like Tlou,UC2+4, I wouldn't take any of them over W3, but that is obviously personal preference

The butt hurt this game is causing is earth shattering. Plus, shouldn't this be in the sticky? Oh I forgot lems cant read.

You're so edgy disliking something so highly praised, I can almost smell the cigarette smoke on you while your badass self smoked it in the little boys room.

I agree the hype for the Uncharted series is overblown, but I legitimately think The Last of Us is ****ing fantastic.

Cant agree with that. I'm still playing U4 so Uncharted 2 is for me their crowning moment. TLOU is a great game. But it lamprey263, it will not feel all that different. Its a story heavy, cinematic game just like the Uncharted series. The melee combat has a slight difference with a certain enemy in particular but even using a 2x4 you will still feel the "bash square button until the enemy is down" that Uncharted can have. Shooting is about the same as this Uncharted so a little better than previous but there are better TPS out there. ND's strengths are writing dialogue, animations, and getting great voice acting from cast in order to sell the stories they tell. Their gameplay is fun but nothing you have never done before and probably better in other games.

You're off base. UC4 will likely be GOTY. Get used to Sony dominating if you would like to hold onto your sanity.

Thanks! Yeah I've tinkered with the different render modes, 8-bit especially. Dying like a **** at the moment, can't be too careless on hard :P

Use the sticky, or blog about it.
