12.05.16 | These games are so punishingly linear, sucks most of the joy out of the experience |

12.05.16 | nice. still gotta play 4, but from what I've heard it's amazing. finally got some time to play games again, playing the new Deus Ex. then gonna do uncharted 4, doom and dishonoured 2 I think |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | 4 rules, but surprisingly less for the big action pieces and mostly for the characters/general graphics. The game is beautiful, but it's not nearly as epic as 2 or even 3 imo (even though I like it more than 3).
After Last Guardian/Doom I'm finally moving onto Shadow of Mordor, so many fucking games to play gah |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | @polyrhythm - yeah, I could see how that would annoy some people but I actually really enjoy how linear it is. It makes the game more focused in a weird way imo |
DungeonBoy
12.05.16 | I just got the Uncharted 4/PS4 bundle over the weekend and I got a few hours in. It's a pretty great game, but it crashes a ton! Did you have any issues with this? |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | Oh nice, I got the bundle as well but during Black Friday. And no, I actually never had problems with it crashing, man. Maybe I just lucked out? |
polyrhythm
12.05.16 | so did the first one |
bentheREDfan
12.05.16 | I would agree with this.
But if we're talking Sony exclusives you've gotta go for the Infamous series

Chortles
12.05.16 | uncharted rules obv. need to play the 4th one
couldn't get into infamous tbh the first one was so boring |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | Uncharted 3 was a letdown after Uncharted 2 but dude c'mon man Uncharted 1 is not nearly as epic/fun as 3. It was great when it first came out, but 2, 3 and 4 are wayyy better.
Last of Us is better than all 4, though. |

12.05.16 | ^incorrect |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | Which part? 3 being better than 1 or Last of Us being better than the Uncharted series?
To be fair, Last of Us is much more up my alley in terms of tone. I also feel the characters are just a tad more real, although the characters in Uncharted are also wonderful. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | Also Last of Us brought the feels |
Devastator
12.05.16 | Never cared for any of the Uncharted games and never liked Drake that much but the game is pretty that's for sure. Also you are in for a treat with Doom, fantastic game. |
polyrhythm
12.05.16 | "Last of Us is better than all 4, though"
yep |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | @Devastator - yeah man, I played it for a couple of hours before really dedicating all of my time to Uncharted 4 - unfortunately tonight will be my last night playing Doom until I beat The Last Guardian, but I have to play that one first since I've been anxiously awaiting that for the past 7 years or whenever it was announced that they were working on it. Shadow of the Colossus is my #1 game of all time. |
Devastator
12.05.16 | I feel you man, still waiting on Kingdom Hearts 3 |
MO
12.05.16 | I take uncharted for what it is. essentially a popcorn movie-esque game. Quick and fun to play and get through for a nice pay off and a decent length. they're nice yea but nothing incredibly groundbreaking
sure they're linear as fuck but the whole point is to tell a simple, concise story on their terms. and all the uncharteds do that in spades. it's just a fun series for the sake of it and faulting it for that is pretty stupid if you ask me |

polyrhythm
12.05.16 | when you can barely take two steps without hitting an invisible wall or ragdolling to the ground and dying for fuck knows what reason, I feel less like I'm immersed in a story and more like I'm nudging Nate down a corridor of cutscenes |
Sinternet
12.05.16 | last of us is worse than any of them |
DungeonBoy
12.05.16 | Uncharted 4 is a lot of fun just like the rest of the series. Nathan is a likeable character, and the gameplay is enjoyable even if it is repetitive. Climbing the buildings/swinging through windows etc. is a ton of fun and the game looks beautiful. I normally stick to open world RPGs and dungeon crawlers, but all of the Uncharted games have always been a nice change of pace for me when I just want to sit down for an hour and take my mind off things. |

12.05.16 | 2>3>4>1 |
GreyShadow
12.05.16 | I didn't hate 1 but it got boring/repetitive in the gameplay department which is why I have been putting off the rest of the series. I'm sure I'll get to it eventually |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | True, the gameplay is definitely repetitive but it's so beautiful that I don't even really care personally. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.05.16 | Lucca is yelling at me because I'm playing Doom instead of Bloodborne |
polyrhythm
12.05.16 | Bloodborne > everything else |

Make some decisions for yourself in real life, you sappy bastard. |
tellah
12.05.16 | I haven't played them before, but stoked to borrow the Nathan Drake collection from my buddy. I actually dig the fact that they are typically very linear because I (and probably a lot of people here) have enough open world games to play on PS4 |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.06.16 | I definitely have enough open world games, man. It's nice to always know what to do. |
Chortles
12.06.16 | "Bloodborne > everything else"
tru |
brainmelter
12.06.16 | I just got uncharted 4 |
neekafat
01.12.17 | 4 is 4 |
Gyromania
01.12.17 | people who say 2 is better than 4 are wearing nostalgia glasses. it's the second best imo and an absolute masterpiece, but uncharted 4 is next-level in pretty much every category |
Gyromania
01.12.17 | also dark souls 3 > bloodborne. but orphan of kos is the best thing fromsoft have ever done |
brainmelter
01.13.17 | noooooo way bro. Blood borne beats dark souls 3. 2nd best game after the first dark souls fam |
talktothehead
01.13.17 | You guys talking Sony but tonight it's all about Nintendo babae |
Gyromania
01.13.17 | Bloodborne is a masterpiece that's bogged down by some seriously frustrating mechanics. I absolutely hate that you can't travel between lanterns or rest at them to replenish your stock |
Gyromania
01.13.17 | And also how monochromatic things start to look after a while. Insight is a dumb mechanic to play online, some of the bosses are straight up bs, most frustrating enemies in the serie, etc |
Gyromania
01.13.17 | Also hate that when you're locked on to enemies you can't roll but instead side step. I tend to dodge roll through attacks, but with this system you can't do that without getting hit |
Xenorazr
01.13.17 | I wish I could enjoy these games, but they kept frustrating me. I dropped the series before finishing the second game. |
Gyromania
01.13.17 | Oh and the armor is pretty much all garbage. Also, if you guys played the dlc then you'll know that Lawrence is the worst thing fromsoft has ever done. Oh and frenzy is their dumbest mechanic ever |
mindleviticus
01.13.17 | Lawrence wasn't too bad... ludwig and orphan of kos on the other hand... |
Gyromania
01.13.17 | Those are both fun bosses. Orphan was extremely difficult, sure, but also fair. Lawrence is just a load of rng bullshit. His tracking and damage output is hilariously bs |
Gyromania
01.13.17 | I could probably write an essay on why I hate Lawrence so much lol |
Chortles
01.13.17 | lawrence is ass, the other dlc bosses are some of the best they've ever done though. except living failures or whatever tf it's called
"I absolutely hate that you can't travel between lanterns or rest at them to replenish your stock"
this is frustrating i agree and idk why they made this design choice but most major aspects are the game are so perfect to me that it just comes as a minor flaw. bloodborne is my fave of theirs with demons in tow probably |
