UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End

Re: UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End

Uncharted 1 is the worst of the 3 just because the combat is so bad. The aiming controls are so floaty and the guns don't feel like they have any power behind them. Thankfully they tuned it better in 2 and 3 where the combat is more enjoyable. The enemies are still too bullet spongy though. The supernatural enemies in all 3 games have never been fun to fight. There wasn't as many in 3 which is probably why its my favorite game combat wise.

It's why The Last of Us is the best Naughty Dog game. In addition to the great story, there's less combat than the Uncharted games (which IMO is the weakest parts of the game) and when you do get into combat everything feels brutal, especially the melee weapons.

I enjoyed the shooting and combat in the original Uncharted. Back in 2007, it was by far the best game that year and playing through it at the time was like, I don't want this game to end. That's how much I enjoyed the game. The supernatural enemies is the one aspect that I hate in all of the Uncharted games.

Agree that The Last of Us is the best ND game. Stealth was a lot of fun. The melee combat was brutal. Mad Max has that brutality in the melee combat which is awesome.

I've never really considered the length of Uncharted games to be a negative. They're tight, focused, and polished gaming experiences that are fun and challenging. You aren't grinding repetitively. You aren't bogged down by redundant fetch quests or loot hunting. There are some games that are 40+ hours that aren't worth paying full price for.

I'd rather have 15-20 hours of straight action rather then 40 hour game and most is exploring

A game being long doesn't mean its automatically repetitive or focused on grinding. You can have a long game thats also tight and focused like you want.

I don't want to sit here and start bashing Uncharted. They're good games, but they do have issues and they're fairly fresh in my mind because I played all three within the last few months.

Great post, I completely agree. I can't speak to the PS3 versions, but on the UC Collection all the games have the same floaty controls you're speaking of.

I had the same thought playing through TLoU recently, the best decision they made was to design the game in a way where gunfights are discouraged. Just seems like Naughty Dog for whatever reason isn't that great at designing the combat parts of their games.

Based on the stress test beta, I'll be buying this just for the multiplayer alone. Could care less about the sp experience or the story.

Hopefully it gets delayed a bit to give me more time with the Division.

The little time I had in the stress test multiplayer beta was a much better experience than sw battlefront.

Got a chance to run with some friends over the weekend and had a lot more fun than I did in the first beta. The shooting felt better and it's just good times with a group. I did a ton of laughing playing that. I'd like it more with without the supernatural special ability and just the helpers like the Brute and Sniper. It's whatever, though. I can deal with that.

I think you'd enjoy the campaign too. Uncharted really shines there.

Right. There are games like The Witcher which offers 100+ hours of a game-world that genuinely feels alive and almost every quest is crafted superbly with a noticeable arc, motivation, and clear, sensible resolution.

Yet, I've seen it more times than not for linear games that run 8-15 hours that the price isn't justifiable for the experience. I feel like using time as a denominator doesn't take into account any of the important factors of what makes a great game.

Good news folks. Naughty Dog has announced that Uncharted 4 has gone gold!

Re: UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End

Funny how the game goes gold on March 18th which was the release date after the first delay. Second delay was to April and third delay was to what it is currently, May 10th.

Still don't understand how they need six weeks to manufacture and ship the game when huge third party games like COD and SWBF were done in two weeks or so. But whatever. It should continue my streak of four games hitting at least a 9/10 for me and better be better than Uncharted 3 which was a letdown to me after Uncharted 2.

Re: UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End

From GAF:

- Vehicles react differently depending on terrain.

- Rope can be utilized in most gameplay encounters. Has multiple uses.

- From the beginning Bruce wanted to get back to figuring out the core gameplay.

- Combat designed with Nate's traversal moveset in mind.

- Climbing system in UC4 has been completely overhauled. System gives unprecedented level of fine control with full analogue control over both of his hands

- Characters traversing with you were scripted in the past games. Now it is very systemic.

- Bunch of stuff on AI being smarter with new flanking behaviors and better awareness etc. They have the same traversal abilities as Drake

- They really wanted to avoid stop and pop gameplay with the player sticking behind one piece of cover.

- A lot of the stealth elements from the Last of Us brought over so the player has more choices in combat. You can break line of sight and sneak past them

- Used to be you were in stealth or combat. Now you can be in stealth, they go into investigate when they think they've seen you, then it can go into combat and once they lose you they will go into search.

- Melee is far deeper.

- Lots of new tools added but in a way that is elegant enough to not explode the game with HUD.

This game is going to be "The Standard" on the PS4, if you don't plan on getting this game..... you definitely should.

I see Tomb Raider had a positive effect on them as well. Good news.
