Ok, long story short. I've had a ps4 since launch but the Xbox one was my primary console because I thought with all my friends on live ( they all eventually stopped playing as we all became fathers and such) and the library of over 1,000 movie titles it would always be my main.

I had the ps4 for the exclusives it would get and I've played through all the Uncharted games but for some reason, o wait I know, I was addicted too Destiny from day 1 and let so many games slide on by as not to take away from my 12 hour days in crucible. F ing pathetic I know.

Fast forward to now, and I just got a 4k, hdr, Dolby vision set and I thought well, time for the ps4 pro. I thought it would be a little stupid to get a xone s when I'll be getting a x1x in nov.

So I grab the pro, Uncharted, ratchet, and infamous.

I have no prior idea what this Uncharted is about, didn't read a single review and holy shit the opening was the most intense so far this gen. Not only that but it was absolutely beautiful in hdr. Then the scene with Nates new mundane job and the transition from the water to working class america, f ing extremely well executed. I just sat there with a smile in my face like , g damn naughty dog really is a step above the majority of the industry.

I feel like a kid again playing this game, I actually want to get all my daddy duties done today fast so I have more time tonight to play, o by the way how long of a game is it?

I'm just so glad I decided to buy it as in all honesty it took over my game of then with the first 5 chapters.

 

[Ahasverus]

It's just so damn beautiful

 

[Primethius]

It's about 12-15 hours. Enjoy!

About 12 hours IIRC.

Completely agree with the praise, it's a phenomenal game. It took a while but it gradually became my favourite of the series. I know people have problems with the pacing but it was perfect for me, it earned it's slower moments.

 

[Grisby]

It's got the graphics for sure. Wait until you get further on OP.

 

[jurec84]

What you wrote sounds like you didn't see that e3 setpiece two years ago. If this is correct, then oh boy, you're in for a treat!

O jeeze, im a complete graphic slut. I'll literally stand in spots in the geometry trying to get an insane angle for a screen shot lol.

 

[AKyemeni]

Hope you got your walking shoes on...

 

[AAK]

Yeah, it's got some pretty spectacular set pieces, that's for sure. There is a certain chase sequence that really is pure wizardry on ND's part.

Honestly! What I wouldn't give to experience that again for the first time.

As a big fan of the series, I decided to go blackout on it after the PSX reveal in Dec 14.

I didn't know a single thing about it when I was playing thru it, was amazing.

Never saw it, going in blind here!

 

[Trace]

Absolutely fantastic game, best in the series IMO. You're in for a treat if you liked the intro.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Loved it and it was the first Uncharted game I finished rather than quitting 3/4 way through. But I play it so damn slowly. I'm always walking slow and take in the sights. The eye candy in this game blows me away.

 

[Frank West]

You've just played the worst Uncharted. Now play the good ones (1-3)

Same, I'm a photographer in rl as my profession, so like I said I try to force first person perspectives with the geometry to take screen shots lmao. My wife is like wtf are you doing?

 

[Greatest Ever]

The best combat encounters since Resident Evil 4. Phenomenal game.

If your gonna come into a thread to shit on a game you could at least read the OP.

Hold my beer


Uncharted 4 literally put me to sleep three times before I gave up on it, and it's clearly the best in the series

You haven't been using photomode?? Hahahahaha

 

[funcojoe]

You haven't been using photomode?? Hahahahaha

Lmao nope, been backing Nate into corners of walls swinging the camera around lmao.

 

[TetraGenesis]

You're in for a treat, my friend. The photomode is extensive and super easy to use.

I couldn't help but think last night, in bizzaro world, what if naughty dog was given the next Zelda to develop. Hear me out though Nintendo dudes, I grew up in the 80s and Zelda is what hooked me into gaming. Zelda the original was the first game I really felt part of the world, an adventure and I still think Nintendo makes great games. Botw though, something felt off for me, I wasn't connected.

Then playing this last night, I'm saying to myself, fuck, this is how you make a game, hook the player, the sense of adventure, presence in the world, and of course the amazing technical wizardry going on.

 

[Wedzi]

I bought the Uncharted 4 bundle a while ago and have yet to dive in. Hearing your impressions makes me think putting it off is a big mistake lol

 

[family_guy]

Uncharted 2 is the best.

 

[Frank West]

How much of his post did you read?

Everything.
Can't accept other opinions?

It seems like I misread "have". I thought he wrote "haven't".

We're human, we make mistakes, calm down.

lol @ implying Uncharted 1 is good

It's the best actually. This is fact

 

[onemanasylum]

Incredible game, I do agree the pacing was a bit off and a bit too much slow sections not quite enough combat, but still a great experience.

Horizon is better though imo.

 

[SMOK3Y]

Are you going to get HZD? I hope so

Yeah, this is how you make a game, focus on everything but the actual playing part. Loved those frequent stretches of mechanically barren traversal. No problem solving or challenge on the players end, just a pretty view to look at as you press x.

You are in for a treat then my friend.

 

[RomeoDog]

Its so nice naughty dog included an aim assist mode where you barely have to aim at anyone and can go through the game with no skill. Beat it in 8 hours I think.

 

[Ascenion]

Damn shame Sony and MS won't see the truth that is Dolby Vision. HDR10 can fuck off.

 

[MCD250]

It's honestly nuts how good it looks sometimes. There are scenes out in the wilderness that are just...whew. Incredible level of detail.

He doesn't use have or haven't in his statement about playing the games. Just admit you didn't read and want to shit post.

It's just an opinion bro amirite

 

[hydruxo]

Absolutely incredible game. I like it way better than UC2.

 

[Hesemonni]

It's an awesome game and the detail ND has put into it is mind blowing, almost exhausting.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

You're a dad and you are playing Uncharted 4?

You'll love the game.

 

[Gurish]

Dude visually you haven't seen a thing, the opening is pretty tame even, you are not gonna believe how stunning it looks the more you progress.

I wanna reply it again just to go through all of those views and environments again.

This is true too

[Lys Skygge]

If the beginning blew your mind, you're in for quite a treat for the rest of the game. It just gets better and better.

 

[MegaSackman]

Op, took me about 17hs the first time on hard, it should be around 15hs average. It's a blast, best of the series for me but it's among the best at least, especially if you loved the first moments!

 

[funcojoe]

Are you going to get HZD? I hope so

Yep next purchase, next week. Just want to finish this first.

 

[A.Romero]

Amazing game. I almost finish it in one sitting.

Last game I played so many continuous hours was MGSV
