Nadine was definitely the weakest link, but I don't feel like she ruined the whole game. The plot is only one aspect of it.

Did you play the multiplayer?

>Now that the dust has truly settled, was it really all that bad?
If you want an actual game, yes, it was that bad. If you are ok with it being a cinematic experience first and foremost then it's an OK game. Nadine knocked it down a few notches.

Nah I loved it, a great ending to the series

Coming from loving the first one but hating 2 and 3. I really enjoyed 4 single player as it goes back to the spirit of the first game by having MOST OF THE FUCKIN GAME IN UNCHARTED AREAS.

What was more annoying to me (and most people) was that he wrote it to be paced like a movie. That made it so the first six or so chapters were very slow - mostly just story and filler with minimal action - before it finally started picking up and you started getting regular combat encounters. There was fighting in the prison flashbacks, at least.

The scuba section was especially bad about this. It felt like a Nathan-at-work simulator

i liked how the sony marketers tried to retroactively convince /v/ that they cared about uncharted

Are you talking about the parts from the island on? That was more the middle of the game to the end of the game than it was the final act. And it was also where action really started to pick up and the difficulty spiked.

Do you mean you wanted more globetrotting and less time on the island?

Bad? Who said it was bad? It was just a little too long

The game itself was pretty fun. The story was shit though, but thats nothing new this gen for a game to have good gameplay and shitty story.

If you like the whole "interactive action movie" genre then it's a great game.

Personally I didn't play it for the story so much as I did for the gameplay. I played all the Uncharted games for the gameplay; the story has always just been a corny Indiana Jones knockoff and an excuse for more action

It's the best in the series and makes the other games in the franchise obsolete.

>>376539575
This scene right here is what establish Naughty dog above anyone else storytelling wise. The combination of good narrative, character development, good graphics and animation shows what no other studio can replicate to date. What Elena implies to Drake when he finishes his explanation and their faces says so much about the characters until that point.

>>376540250
While im enjoying Horizon a ton making dinosaurs battle royal all the time, it really isn't better than Uncharted 4. Uncharted (and last of us) have realistic interaction during a conversation. Horizons graphics and facial animations are impressive, plus the lip synching is on point, but they are rendered in a way that is not believable. Like fallout, mass effect and any other western developer really, they zoom the characters face and make twitches and unrealistic eye contact during the whole conversation which can take from 15 seconds to 5 minutes.
On Horizon's favor, they can't script all the time different animation while talking since its an open world environment.

They never say that they did not go back to get it. They had a pretty nice beach house - maybe they did get it, or just let Sam go back and retrieve it all. I really hope we don't find out that Nadine went back and got it, because she really doesn't deserve it.

And yeah, it was kind of dumb of Drake not to check whether the drug lord really broke out, but at least he admits it. He says to Elena, "If I had just looked it up..."
It kind of matches up with how he's always being manipulated by his enemies to find the treasure for them in every game though. Drake is very easy to manipulate like that because he gets so excited about the hunt that he doesn't even try anything that could possibly interrupt him on his quest.

me too... Straley has been "game director" for UC2, TLOU and UC4, while Druckmann was always the "creative director" for TLOU and UC4. Druckmann did a really good job on The Last of Us and with its story, but I'm fearing that he's getting way too full of himself from all the praise that that game got. And now Straley is on "sabbatical" while Druckmann takes care of TLOU 2 entirely by himself. We can only hope he knows well enough to take constructive criticism to heart, and to question himself whether he is always taking the right course of action with the game.

Had a great story and equally as great writing behind it but it was just way too fucking much at some points, the fact that they made the boss fight with black chick a force lose scenario was irritating, although it was carried by the fun combat in the later chapters, it wasn't bad but I feel this series would be a lot better if they were actual movies with a fun director running the show.

I think they would make mediocre movies. Though the games have a fantastically cinematic presentation, the actual plot has never the strong point. One of the best things about the game is that it feels like a crazy action movie where you control both the actors and the camera in real time. If you make it into an actual action movie instead of a game, you take all that away and all you are left with is the meh plot and one fixed action sequence of action that has no variables to it.

I don't think there is a game out there with a better gameplay camera. It always stays where you leave it, moves where you want it to (except it has no zoom control) and rotates/zooms into positions that give you the best looking angles possible for the action you are currently performing. This webm is an example: the first jeep is taken with no player input for camera movement, and the second is taken with (and maybe with too much movement, but it depends on the individual player how it works out)

>>376544809
While I enjoy it's third person shooter aspect since I didn't have a gears of war machine, the strength of uncharted comes in its action adventure nature and the unique narritive in story and characters. It's not because it has great gunplay or puzzle solving.
If you don't enjoy those, you certainly won't enjoy the other gameplay aspects altogheter.

>>376538653
You could condense the island down to the one confrontation where Nadine has her final showdown with Sam and Drake, the truth about Sam's betrayal comes out, Drake getting hurt, Elena finding him, them realizing they fell in love with each other because of adventuring and they still kind of love it, finding the building with all the dead pirate lords, and then the ship showdown. 2 to 3 hours tops.

Instead, it drags on for what feels like 6 or 7 hours. It doesn't help that they didn't shake up the scenery that much. There's very little discernible difference between jungle and city overgrown with jungle. There's a short stint in a shipyard and then finale in a cove, but they still feel like just extensions of a jungle.

U2 had the midpoint of the game start in Nepal, but Nepal's village, ice caves, mountain monastery, and underground rain forest all feel really different from each other. I don't every game to feel like U2 since it may be the best paced game I've ever played where I've found myself finishing it one sitting because of the "Let me finish this one part before I go to bed" mentality, get sucked into a really awesome, rolling action setpiece only to say, "well I can finish this next part pretty quick," and then engrossed again, etc. U4 I was just exhausted with the island at the end. Lots of story and gameplay tension defused by what just feels like walking through the jungle or scrambling around cliffs. I get it, they really needed to make the geography feel realized and you're working your way into the heart of an island. I get it, it's just not that engaging. And then the caves part with exploding mummies? I found myself thinking, "God, can this end already?" many times on the island.

I would rank them 4 > 2 >> 3 >>> 1

4 is pretty flawed by its SJW story elements like Nadine, and its slow, movie-like pacing at the beginning, but when you compare the gameplay, interactivity, and storytelling / presentation head to head against 2, it is really not flattering at all to the old games. The previous games did have more action overall, but the fights were almost always of the setpiece-type, with very little variety in how you could approach the combat (or the climbing even). The combat in 4 alternated between long setpieces ("escape-the-exploding-building while under attack"), stealth-arena playgrounds, and survival-type arenas where you have to push the rushing enemy back as hard as you can.

For the time that each game was released, however, I think that 2 had less flaws than 4

>>376539575
That scene was so fucking good.

>>376536774
It was fine, they just took too many pages from TLoA with the slow story bits
gameplay was fine besides the shit fights with Nadine and dickhead. 2 was still better but 4 wasn't even close to being bad
but I wish they'd use mystic stuff in the story still
maybe Nadine and Chloe will fight wizard mummies

I can definitely see where you're coming from. I remember a lot of people complaining about the Scotland section when the game came out, saying it was the worst part, but I thought it was actually a great little self-contained adventure on its own. The beginning consisted of four stealth-arena encounters mixed between climbing and puzzles, while the middle was mostly climbing + puzzles, and the end was a long setpiece fight to escape in the Uncharted 2 style.

It would have been nice for there to be more globe trotting and variety instead of the whole second half of the game taking place on the island, but I really didn't mind it so much because the scenery was just so gorgeous. The insides of the pirate mansions, the jungles, the ship graveyard, and the half-destroyed cities hanging dangerously off cliffs were all beautiful and provided for fun and vertical combat environments. Even the fight in the cave wasn't that bad IMO because it made you feel so claustrophobic and trapped as you were bumrushed harder than in any other fight. But yeah, the mummies were pretty tedious.

>>376537010
Because half the game is boring as fuck, with way too much telling and not enough showing. Compare it to Uncharted 2, or hell, even 1 and 3, and it is pretty obvious 4 too more cues from the Order 1886 than it should have.

2 > 4 >>>>> 3 > 1

I don't get why anyone would think it is "boring as fuck" on the first playthrough. On repeat playthroughs, yeah, I can totally understand why you would want to skip the climbing / puzzle sections that are for storytelling, since it's akin to rewatching a movie you've already seen, but for the first playthrough, no.

Uncharted 2 was only better in regard to what you're talking about because there was pretty much constant fighting and setpieces in every chapter. When replaying UC2, I always felt about as bored redoing the puzzle sections and climbing areas (which were more linear) as I would replaying those equivalent areas in UC4; it's just UC4 had a lot more of those areas by comparison. Fortunately, 4 has the combat-encounter select in the main menu, to let you skip to any of the action parts on-demand after you completed the game.

>>376536774
I played it and it didn't feel as good as the other games, 2 by far is the best game in the series for me.

Doughnut Drake would have been fucking hilarious with 4's graphics. A real disappointment he was removed from the game by Druckmann because he thought the series had "grown out" of using him. As I understand it, he was already modeled and everything, ready to be used in the game.

What a motherfucker.

/v/ hates games but I don't, I loved this.
I liked the option to approach almost every combat stealthily and avoid the repetitive shooting and loved
how detached are story sequences from combat sequences.
Probably my favorite after Uncharted 2.

I played all four games back to back for the very first time earlier this year.

>UC1
Pretty mediocre but a good setup for the characters.
>UC2
Fantastic for its awe factor. Linear and the gameplay is pretty limited but it was never meant to be some deep sim or anything. Excels at what it sets out to do and it's a really fucking fun time if you're not super picky.
>UC3
Pretty flawed but otherwise a good game.
>UC4
First time I loved a game in this series for its gameplay instead of just the characters.

I loved how open ended so many of the encounters are, you have a whole lot of options and everything's fast and fluid as hell. Honestly I think UC4 is pretty much the gold standard for AAA action games at this point. It's got fantastic characters and writing, a decent plot, great setting, the best animation in the industry, stunning graphics for a PS4, and most importantly the gameplay is rock fucking solid.

One of the best cameras I've seen in recent memory, as well as fast and fluid combat. Animations go a long way to this end as well.

Overall I think it's a strong 8/10, it's a legitimately great game and goes well above and beyond simple AAA cover shooting. It was certainly overhyped by critics but /v/ has been pretty egregiously contrarian with the series too.

relax, it's just standard videogame shit. Most arcadey shooters like this have melee attacks that are stronger than smg / pistol attacks, because it's so much riskier and requires so much more planning to get up-close enough to be able to perform them.

>>376536774
The shootouts are pretty fun but the pacing is monotonous and there's lots of climbing, and the climbing is kind of boring. Looks good for a console game. Overall a pretty good game. Definitely not GOTY though.

LA Noire wipes the floor with cuckcharted

I got Uncharted 4 as a pack-in with my PS4 but I still haven't played it.

Is it fine to just go in or should I play the other ones first? The trilogy is only $20.

>>376552341
It 100% should be played in order of release. 4 is relatively independent and does have some callbacks, but it's significantly more poignant in context as the ending of all the character arcs. Play the trilogy first, it'll be worth it.

1 is a bit of a shitty slog, 2 is great, 3 is good, and 4 is the best by a country mile.

>>376545097
I'd forgotten the importance of a good camera until recently when playing Snake Pass on Switch. That game is fantastic, in no small part due to its entirely unique movement mechanics, but can be infuriating at times because the camera doesn't know how to give you the view you need. Which is a problem, because due to the button inputs required you don't have the spare time or fingers to adjust it with the right stick.

>>376552341
4 is basically a sendoff to the core cast of 1-3. It stands as its own story, but I don't see it having the same impact otherwise.
If you're interested, the PS4 ports of the first three are absolutely excellent. Easily the best way to play them.

IMO the game has really underrated enemy AI. It's really designed to keep you moving and discourage standard cover-shooting whack-a-mole style gameplay as much as possible.

I replayed most of the encounters on crushing to the point of mastery, and the enemy squad-tactics, pathing (with respect to the player's line of sight), and decision-making capabilities are all almost FEAR tier. You are always being flanked, moving or not, and they're constantly entrenching across from you and trying to flush you out if they know your position. The only thing that makes it worse is that - depending on your current situation and whether or not you fucked up enough to "deserve" to die and lose all your progress - they will sometimes hold-off on shooting you (especially when off-screen) to make the game not feel impossibly hard. FEAR doesn't have this because you are given advantages like slo-mo and mouse-aim, with corridors everywhere to be used as cover, so that it can never really feel impossibly difficult like that.

>>376552319
LA Noire is only good at facial animations. The tech is equivalent a recorded video of a real person's facial expressions being played on the character model's face. And the results are really not that much better than the facial animations in UC4, while the game has considerably worse non-facial animations

No. It's unironicaly one of the few best games on the memeS4. I juat shitpost calling it a movie to get a rise out of sonybros.

>>376553615
The facial animations are also framerate-locked in LA Noire, a side effect of the technology used. They're also only as good as the actor involved, since there's no way to change or clean up a take. A mocapped scene in Uncharted may be the tweaked composite of several different takes, both audio and motion data.

>>376553090
also, I admit this webm doesn't really seem to exemplify those anti-whack-a-mole AI behaviors much. It's because the player has positioned himself so that the friendly AI is protecting his flank while all the enemies are still concentrated in their spawn locations and pouring out the doors, while retreating from the player's blindfiring.

These anti-camping behaviors only really start to manifest a few seconds later, with the shotgun guy (that gets killed before he can destroy the player's cover), and then the other rushing guy who sees the player out of bullets, and the guy who throws the grenade.

I played through UC2 twice as Doughnut Drake.
I had almost forgot how the normal Drake looked like at one point until one of my visiting friends came over and asked why he was fat and realised I should probably change him back.

My problem with UC is that most of the fun comes from seeing and not from doing. The game could play itself that it would be be just as entertaining.

>>376555664
That's definitely true of the climbing but the shooting is pretty interactive, if a bit "press x to awesome" at times.

UC4 doesn't need shilling. It comes bundled with the cheap PS4. Millions of people own it who never even wanted it for this reason. The sales are over 8 million copies last I checked. And every good game gets an appreciative thread at least once in a while. Today is UC4's birthday so you really shouldn't be surprised.

I've got all these webms for the game because I admittedly used to be *obsessed* with it (like XV-kun tier, or the HZD-webm-guy), playing it almost daily from its release until about 8 months ago. I felt compelled to try and disprove all the shitposting about the game on /v/ using video evidence. I've since gotten over that particular strain of autism, but I felt like making a thread about it today (for the first time in 2017) since it is the first anniversary of the game's release.

The biggest problem with Uncharted is Nathan Drake, he's just a generic guy off the street, there is nothing creative or interesting about him in the slightest.

So did Skyrim, that doesn't contradict what I said at all.

I love how the combat looks, but mechanically it's pretty simple and the weapons feel weak as shit compared to something like Max Payne.

Its certainly the most technically impressive and has the best story, although 2 had better set pieces, and I preferred 3's gunplay.

that webm is on crushing. The player only was hit three-four times max, and the game gives you a little bit of damage reduction during melee attacks. Since enemy attacks are all hitscan, enemy accuracy is reduced by a certain amount depending on how far away you are, how fast you are moving across their field of view, and whether or not you are rolling / transitioning to cover / meleeing.

Every combat webm ITT was recorded on Crushing except for these three:
>>376536774
>>376542846
>>376545097

This game has the same issue Max Payne 3 does.

Excellent combat gameplay but its stuck in a storyline that can't be skipped on repeat playthroughs.

At least with UC 4 they added a survival/horde/action setpiece selection mode, Max Payne 3 never got that.

>>376539575
Any Pixar movie.

>>376540250
BROOOOOOOMMMMM

>>376562828
also with the combat selections / Encounter Select, the game normally forces you to restart the encounter or go back to the main menu once you beat it, but you can keep playing the game all the way to the end credits if you disable autosave. You do this by loading a chapter from chapter select and saying no to autosave, then quitting back to the main menu and using Encounter Select.

> If you are ok with it being a cinematic experience first and foremost then it's an OK game.
Agreed, I would even go as far as saying that, if cinematic experience is something you crave first and foremost there is not much in its league right now, but if you want bedazzlement through presentation and thrilling gameplay in equal measure it can be pretty disappointing, because even in its gameplay the presentation is king.

>>376539575
HZD has actually pretty awful to mediocre animation for most of the game, only important sections are of high quality, and even in those, UC4 completely destroys it in terms of direction.

>>376537795

However, stuff like the long-lost brother out of nowhere, no significant gameplay until late in Scotland, "strong" diversity character who doesn't get her comeuppance (and becomes a good guy for Lost Legacy), and other smaller things will be what I remember about Uncharted 4's story.

We've had literal nazi zombies, blue tiny-hulks with crossbows and a crazy-inducing pot, this wasn't far from the inner reality of Uncharted.

But no, "lol de greed is bad be a good boi and love you're brother and wife"

Their change of direction from the madam to the The Last of Us guy was what killed it from being a 10/10 game.

>>376574062
Never heard anything about that. I got the platinum sometime within a month of its release, and there's been dozens of updates since then (mostly multiplayer stuff) that probably fixed any possible problems.

Uncharted isn't bad, it's just not good by any stretch of the imagination.

>>376536774
Many boring sections (flashbacks, nearly everything after chapter 12, scotland, fuck nearly the entire game was kind of lame)

And it was very easy too. Play through on crushing and then compare to a playthrough of U2 on the same difficulty, 2 has you pull some real shit without saving, U4 packages every enemy encounter into discrete sections and doesn't expect you to carry anything in between them.

Im a stupid trophy boy and it was one of the things holding me back, maybe I'll give it a go in this case.

I was also happy to eat shit.

I wish there was a difficulty slider for the platforming segments. This was the hardest part of the game for climbing / platforming

>I wanted my main story to be driven by "3spoopy5me" supernatural elements instead of focusing more on the character's motivations and exploring who they were

Sam would've been a better character if he was at least mentioned in other games, but having his obsession with the treasure being one of the main plot points was a lot more interesting than "Oh shit we gotta stop these nazi zombies because they're evil"

>inertia is a property of matter

If Uncharted was designed as a videogame and not a psuedo-movie game. It would be fantastic.

If you had the abilities in singleplayer that you had in multiplayer, the game would actually be a game.

Imagine the cool platforming sequences that you could do if you had the slow motion, dash, the rope. That shit alone would make a great game.

god the multiplayer is so bad
I have no idea why people praise that shit

>>376577718
I miss U2s, hell even U3s multiplayer.

Coming from Uncharted 2/TLOU the pacing is all fucked up and the story is so fucking predictable no idea how it got all those 10/10 reviews and I hope they don't make another one.

I bought an Uncharted 4 PS4 bundle and also picked up the Uncharted collection. So far I've beaten 1 and 2. Should I also beat 3 or just skip it and play 4?

I like the uncharted games generally, but in the first two, combat was a bit of a drag.

>>376578301
3 has some cool scenes. I'd say it's worth playing because the first three are all so damn short that you might as well.

>>376575768
How do you see this shit in motion as a developer and not realize your game is a complete fucking joke?

How do the new Tomb Raider games compare to Uncharted?

>>376578927
depends on whether or not seeing hot Lara get impaled turns you on

There simply wasn't enough action in the game, which is a shame since the combat is the best in the series. Fucking Neill Druckman and his but muh ludonarrative dissonance ruins immersion.

>>376577935
isn't there's a classic mode in multiplayer now, where there is none of the special abilities or summons like in the regular MP? How is that even any different from UC2 or UC3's multiplayer aside from you being able to rope swing and slide and shit?

>>376578853
how do you give birth to a shit like you as a parent and not realize your child is a complete fucking joke?

>>376579232
U4s mp feels less arcade-y.

Weapon pick ups in U4 Classic mode has a timer that everyone can see, which also promotes camping of power weapons. Whoever is doing the mp for U4 is fucking retarded.

and maps aren't as fun as U2.
I miss The Lab from U2, was fun just doing RPGs only Deathmatch.

>>376579232
Sorry, I guess I am not a shit eating retard like you. I actually prefer my video games to be video GAMES.

>>376579160
To be fair, everyone was always complaining about the ludonarrative dissonance during the first three games, and a lot of people said UC4 was going to be "another boring setpiece shitfest just like the first three games" before it came out. As a result they made it have less action and setpieces because they thought that's what people wanted. Basically, if people hadn't bitched about the old games having a lot of action, UC4 would have been a lot more fun

>>376580101
yeah, because having a goofy looking slide-jump animation makes it not a game

>Uncharted 2 opening
>Nate is the one advocating for nogunz
>Says he doesn't want to kill anyone
>Later on he is the first to kill someone by fucking throwing them off a cliff and his friend just quips about it and neither of them seem to care at all that he just murdered someone

Is he a psychopath?

Uncharted 3 Lab was awesome because they were creating custom maps for each game mode as well.

Also, all but a few of Uncharted 4's MP maps have the same 3-lane/wagon wheel design. What a mess.

>>376580569
Exactly.

>>376574914
you're delusional if you think crushing on 2 was harder than crushing on 4
Uncharted 2 crushing was the easiest in the whole series. 1 was the hardest, followed by 4, 3 and then 2.

Only the hardest final fights in UC4 had any checkpoints at all, you usually have to restart from the very beginning if you get killed at any point before finishing

>>376581003
Nate is a psychopath, but that guy (the museum guard) actually didn't die. You can see him swim away if you look down and watch his body in the water

>>376573789
they should have had Rafe kill Nadine like an evil bastard during the stand-off where Sam holds her hostage. It would have both her and Rafe much better characters. Instead Rafe is just a pissy cuck with an inferiority complex, and Nadine is a mary sue who fucks everyone over and gets off scot-free with millions in gold

2>4>1>3

>Shaun Escayg
Seems to mostly have recent experience as an animator in the movie business (Transformers: DOTM). He co-directed 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand in 2009. Surprisingly - for a cash-grab game about a rapper - Blood on the Sand was really not half bad. He's probably the reason Chloe has a nice fat ass again.

>Kurt Margenau
He's been a lead game designer at ND for three years (which I guess means he just been doing that for UC4). He's probably capable enough, if ND was willing to pick him to be game director. All of their people are pretty talented.

>loved how detached are story sequences from combat sequences.
I thought I was the only one who like this
it's part of uncharted's charm

Shame it still didn't beat UC2s level

they 100% hand animated the facial animations for TLOU by mounting cameras on the mocap performer's faces and then animating it to look like the recorded videos. In UC4, they did regular mocap+tweaking on the faces. The results look about the same if you ask me
