Stupid Amazon is still showing that they went ship until this Friday to be received next Monday. The status changed to preparing for shipment today though so I hope it'll be sent tomorrow so I'll be able to play this on the weekend.

In the middle I'd say

I loved both games, but I would say it's closer to 2 as far as the pacing and action scenes.

The best aspects of 2, with the improved combat of 4

Only up to start of cpt 5, but feels like tomb raider reboot where you have big area filled with hidden collectibles/treasures. If you're the kind who have to collect everything, the pace is slower than u4. But I like all the puzzles and combat scenario scattered around this area. Although at times I do wish to just move on to the next chapter because I took around 3 hours just stuck in cpt 4 with no story progression.

Thank you all.

More_Badass, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. I loved UC4's combat, but the pacing was a bit off for me. I'll be picking this up soon.

 

[Loudninja]

Damn this sounds like a big step up from the Uncharted formula.

 

[AdaWong]

EDIT: Double post

 

[AdaWong]

Just in general, I know that overall pacing was a focus area from the start.

Please let it be known to NaughtyDog that we want this to be a franchise with Chloe

 

[Hidden One]

Playing this game for about 2 hours now made me realize I think I'm finally tired of the Uncharted formula

 

[Morts]

I'm really enjoying the exploration in Chapter 4 so far. I'm in no hurry.

My god though, no other game has made the fan in my Pro this loud. Am I alone?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Chloe was right.

You're gonna miss this ass.

well im finally done with Chapter 4, that was terrible. I am playing on crushing and getting all collectibles. That was like an almost all day process. This section was way too long and boring. As someone said earlier, drive to a location, use hook to open a door, go in and do stuff, and on to the next one thats almost the exact same. It reminded me of why I hated Arkham Knight.

oh, and I even missed a trophy. So I gotta go back in explorer difficulty and get that later

Dare I say bags of skill?

Biggest bags ever! ;-)

Yeah, I said in an earlier post that this feels like the evolution of Uncharted 2 that 3 should have been. A faster pace and a nice balance of puzzles, temples, action, exploration, nice character moments, and set pieces. In some ways, it's like a better Tomb Raider than the new Tomb Raiders

 

[nycgamer4ever]

Just started this and not sure if people saying UC4 looks better is joking. On my oled this look crazy. Sharper than UC4.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

The visuals are absurd.

Where the hell is the token next to the giant elephant statue?

Where the hell is the token next to the giant elephant statue?

Is it the one where you are standing in water? If so

Spoiler

there should be an opening you can dive into directly in front of the statue

The crazy thing is that this wasn't written or directed by either Bruce Straley or Neil Druckman.

That studio ia just oozing talent. I'm curious to see what this "new" team of Naughty Dog does next.

 

[robotrock]

I just finished this up. Loved it loved it loved it. UC4 was kind of a dissapointment for me but this...this is fantastic.

Naughty Dog please keep making Uncharted games

Just got to Chapter 4 and stopped for the night. I'm really enjoying the game so far.

I had this exact thought today. This game almost feels like the old Tomb Raiders with much better combat.

 

[LiK]

Uncharted TLL feels like the evolution of Uncharted 2 that 3 should have been, with the refined combat and maneuverability of 4.

If 4 is its own thing, with its greater focus on a personal story and endnote, then this is more akin to 2's balance of puzzles, exploration, combat, and faster pacing

Exactly.

 

[robotrock]

Goddamn this game is good

 

[VanCityGamer]

It's interesting contrasting the opinions here to Podcast Beyond's crew on IGN. They say it feels just like Uncharted 4 and takes only 6 hours.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Damn this sounds like a big step up from the Uncharted formula.

I watched DansGaming play it for a few hours and i dunno i didn't saw any big step ups from the Uncharted formula, looked and played like Uncharted 4.

I fell asleep at some point, maybe i missed something but from what i've seen not much has changed.

My brother only took 6 hours

But it was 6 hours of pure lean unadulterated Uncharted, a distillation of the best aspects of the entire series

What an awful summation from them. This is a much tighter Uncharted game with a really nice balance of exploration, puzzles and combat. One doesn't overwhelm the others and the story flows so much better than UC4. I didn't hate any sections or areas like the previous games. This is exactly what I want from the franchise.

 

[U2NUMB]

So far (early on) I am enjoying this more than Uncharted 4.. Enjoy not playing nathan to be honest. Game looks amazing on the pro in 4k

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Why is the sound volume sooooooooooo low? In Uncharted 4 it was fine. They need to increase the default sound volume.

 

[CHC]

Hah.... so playing this actually made me go back up Uncharted 2 via the remaster.

Still such a perfect game. Also looks surprisingly amazing still.

 

[burgerdog]

I did not expect the game to look this good, jesus h christ. It made up for a shitty day.

That all sounds awesome. I was a bit disappointed after Podcast Beyond sounded bored by the game and thought it felt stale and too familiar. Your impressions get me re-hyped.

 

[Kambing]

Gotta say, the PS4 pro implementation in TLL definitely seems sharper than in UC4. Previously there was a bit of softness to the image due to the upscaling from 1440p to 4k. Here i am not noticing it very much. Or i am losing my mind.

Something else i noticed is how ND really honed in on the lighting for this game. Much like how HZD focuses on lighting transitions that present the game in the best light. A few levels in UC4 had a time of day where lighting was harsh and abrasive, making the dithered low resolution shadows more obvious than in other areas. Here not so much. They've really stuck to scenes/time of day that make the levels and assets look the best they can.

Well to be fair it is more Uncharted and has a been there done that feel. That’s not a bad thing at all a bad thing though when what is here is done so well. Nothing overstays it welcome. Only a problem if you are tired of the series. I’m not finished yet but I see myself placing this in my top 3 if not top 2 of the series.

 

[robotrock]

Try messing with the dynamics under the sound options.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

alright im jumping in noow

I think the fact that it's not about Nathan Drake anymore is also a bit refreshing. Nice to learn about the side characters more.

 

[tombo85]

If I buy this digitally now do you still get the Jax collection or did I miss out.

 

[robotrock]

It's sooooo refreshing. From the second they announced Uncharted 4 I was sure hoping it wouldn't be based on Drake (considering 3's direction), but I didn't get my wish. This more than makes up for it though.

The duo dynamic here is so so so good too. Hope we see these two leading another game.

 

[Crossing Eden]

You haven't played it yet, right?
There are locations that are absolutely huge, breathtakingly beautiful, so detailed and polished, imo more impressive than most of what you see in UC4 even. That in a year is definitely astounding.

Given the circumstances that's what I'd expect.

How are people getting their Jak and Daxter download codes? I pre-bought Lost Legacy on Amazon last month but didn't get an email then with the download code and it didn't come with my physical copy of the game when it arrived today.

 

[hawk2025]

Given the circumstances that's what I'd expect.

I can't think of a single developer that has generated this much unique content and assets in a single year.

Please, do share.

Just finished it. Loved it. Great pacing, none of the sections stretched on too long. The random bits of Chloe/Nadine banter are top notch.

you can't play on crushing to start. this post reads like bull

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

good lord these indoor environments on Chap 1. i'm already salivating at TLOU2

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Try messing with the dynamics under the sound options.

I tried all options but nothing seems changed. The console fan is much louder than the game itself even when TV sound is increased.
This is weird, all games work fine though.
