From everything you just said, I'm curious to hear what have been your favorite games of the past 5 years.

To be fair, peanut butter is awful.
That's completely fair, I didnt mean to insinuate that Im some kind final word on wether Uncharted series deserves it's scores or all the praise it's getting, obviously it's greatly loved and usually things are for a good reason.
It's just doesn't really do much for me personally and I dont find the gameplay interesting at all, maybe part annoyance that Naughty Dog doesn't cater for my tastes as they're a ridiculously talented group of people, especially their coders are some of the very best in business.
Hmm there's loads of things I love, Housemarque's work is really close to my heart, play Resogun least a couple of times a week to this day.. Thimbleweed Park I truly love but then I am a bit of a Ron Gilbert Fanboy, Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild lived up to the hype for me after the let down that was Skyward Sword..
Yeah, I disliked UC4s pacing, but really dug the pacing in TLL. I think it being a shorter game really helped it not drag out as much as UC4.

GAF users AKyemeni, ronaldthump and Creamium have praised LL's pacing and (I think) action/downtime while saying they didn't like those aspects of UC4.
I'm mostly interested in its representation of Indian mythology and India in general, sounds good going by the Gadgets 360 review.
I'm not a fan of UC2 style action focus if any and have preferred set piece predominant 3 and 4 over the other UC games though. However, I guess with the new protagonists, given their presence and impression through the previous games, notably different from Drake, it could be a different sort of experience.

I learned a few things from the game about Indian mythology and history.
Chloe tells Nadine some really interesting things from time to time. I also love Indian art and architecture all the more now. The environments, buildings and pieces of art in this game are breathtakingly beautiful.GravityInsanity

Try going into "Library --> Purchased" and download it there.
Just finished the game.
My review: Awesome!
UC4 awesome(aka shit) or UC2 awesome? huge difference here j/k
With my DS3 not working properly, I might drop Folklore and start this one today.
I missed that ass so much
If it helps you, I thought Uncharted 4 was awesome too. ;P

A lot of reviews mention that the character interactions and dialogue are great as usual, but I'm really curious about how compelling the actual story is. By Uncharted 4 I had grown pretty tired of the gunplay; the story and characters are what made it great for me. (Regardless, I'm sure I'll be happy with the increased focus on puzzles/exploration here.)
I liked the antagonist more than in UC4, but that's not saying much. As a isn't really that fleshed out and he feels like a "been there, done that" sorta villain. But he is a cool guy.
Also, there are a couple of nice suprises that ND manage to hide from the public
I still don't like Nadine, tho.

I'd argue that besides elements of 4, all the stories in the Uncharted series have been boilerplate adventure pulp. It's the characters and their interactions that elevate the plots. Which is why I never mind the criticism about how generic the villians are across the games

Downloading now, thanks a lot!
Now that you mention it, I got a code for that game with UCTLL, but haven't used it yet... Is this an HD remaster? I'm sure sure they won't just give us PS2 Jak and Daxter.
Do you like Mario 64/Rare-esque collecathons? I think it is an evolution of those titles (seamless world, permanent world states, a bit more involved story) and I think the gameplay still holds up.
I believe it is the ps2 version, just like any ps2 title on the PS4 that is released as a ps2 classic. So HD resolution and trophies, but still the original version running on an emulator.
It's a PS2 Classic.
It's better than the HD remaster, it's a port but at 1080P instead of the 720P of the remaster, there are trophies as well.
Honestly the only platformer I've ever played was R&C on PS3, I quite liked it, but it's not open world so I don't think I have a good enough experience with this genre. Maybe I should give it a try if you are saying it's still good.
Now compare this post with your first one and reflect.
Fair enough, I can see I came off as bit obnoxious there..
Not sure how it's held up but It's a kind of an open world "collecthaton" kind of platformer which are quite rare nowadays. It was a fun and a solid game.. definitely worth playing. Was super impressive for PS2 at the time.
I've seen hundreds of review scores, maybe thousands, and I've never seen that way of saying 9/10.

You need to rectify this.

I have nothing to do today. Considering playing UC4 again before starting this up. Would it be beneficial to my enjoyment of the story of Lost Legacy if I went into it with UC4 being more fresh in my mind, or should I just hold off and maybe play UC4 again after I play Lost Legacy?
Yowch. This is another of those objectively bad opinions.
Hence, jaggy as all hell because they refuse to put ANY AA in there. PS2 classics are unplayable to me right now.
There is no reason whatsoever to replay that whole game to enjoy this lol.

Watching footage I think one of my faceourite little touches is the sweaty hair around Chloe's neck. Women in video games are very rarely permitted to look "natural" and it's a very natural touch.

Not really, since it takes place after 4, it's most likely going to reference events from that game, I'd recommend starting at the first one and working your way up.
Hah I noticed that too! Those strands of loose hair sticking to the skin... ND's attention to detail is nuts.
Yeah if you scroll through the thread a bit you can find my impressions and comparisons to U4.
You need to rectify this.
To be fair I did play 8 bit Mario, 16 bit Sonic games and the old Crash trilogy, but my experience with modern platformers that started with Nintendo on the N64 is limited due to the fact that I've been a Playstation only (and PC at times) player since PS1

Thanks.
That touches on all of my concerns, following U4. Thanks for the impressions.

I bought the Explorer's Pack (Season Pass) for UC4 ages ago and Lost Legacy is showing up as Free, does that mean I get Jak and Daxter too or no? It's not in my library so I would think not but just asking if anyone knew.

You do not, you do get a theme for free.
The FAQ states unequivocally that Season Pass owners aren't eligible to receive Jak, but apparently Sony had a change of heart.
I think it was the most well-rounded game the series, from the narrative standpoint, the action and crafting of the set pieces, finely tuned gameplay, and especially the multiplayer which was just outstanding.
The fourth game probably comes closest to almost getting all of that right, but had way too many pacing issues and a few other things that I personally didn't like about it that keeps it back.
I know a lot of people on here really love the third game, but that was easily the weakest from basically every standpoint, and when they introduced pay to win hats it completely broke the multiplayer which was already kind of a cluster to begin with.
No, it's not.
