Thoughts on the Uncharted series?

This is supposed to be a Cassie thread

2 is great and polished as fuck, 4 sees really major improvements to the shooting and control feel. Multiplayer in 2 and 4 is fun.
Everything else is decent.

Bioshit was the one that pushed the "games as art for smart people" bs, CoD is just propaganda shootie for kids and junkies.

infinite, specifically. bioshock is good but 2 is mediocre

0/10, would not protect. Far better daughterfus to protect like Yonah and pic related.

They're not even great to watch. Assassin's Creed is superior.

I liked the mechanic in 3 where you could chuck back grenades at the enemies who threw them. Was disappointed they took that out of 4.

Nate's brother was a real piece of shit, but Sam being kind of a scumbag was necessary to contrast against Nate's cleaner personality. Nolan North and Troy Baker together.

Uncharted 2 had the best companion (Tenzin) and the best villain (Lazarevic), and Best Girl (Chloe).

It's sort of lame that it took them until the 4th game to implement the same rope-swinging mechanics that were present in Tomb Raider Anniversary 9 years earlier.

I'd like to see what Sully and Sam do in Brazil but I have a feeling that Uncharted is done for good now.

IT'S GREAT OP
IT'S THE REASON WHY THE PS4 IS THE BEST CONSOLE EVER

1st one is bullet-sponge mania. Very boring and the gimmicks fell flat for me. Complete garbage

You just tilt the left stick up and respond to the prompts. Then you do whackamole shooting for a little bit. While you are doing this, people talk about their relationships and comment on the things you walk past. Then you view a cinematic and repeat.

Yeah, nobody thinks CoD is actually anything worth defending outside of underage.
CoD and BF are effectively babysitting games, but Uncharted and Bioshock make adults who shouldn't be playing games feel fulfilled when they really, really shouldn't, all while giving them validation for stupid ideas.

uncharted 4 was a fucking abortion, i have never been insulted so much by a game in years. I enjoyed uncharted 1-3 despite how casual they were because there was fun shit in those games and fun banter and cool shit to see and stuff happened

nothing fucking happens in uncharted 4, the gameplay is fucking padding, the dialogue went from fun banter to absolute inconsequential bullshit that's a direct effect of trying so damn hard to make your characters "realistic" and "more human"

90% of the games big 'wow sony budget' moments weren't fighting tanks or chasing a convoy on horseback or fighting supernatural monsters but just walking around drakes fucking house where they put needless detail into the pots and pans instead of the actual action sequences

speaking of supernatural monsters, there are not supernatural elements in this game whats so ever, the other games were smart to add the monsters because it changed up how you would play a bit and force the player to adapt new strategies and use new tools, i don't think uncharted 4 even has half the enemy types of like uncharted 2

yes i'm fucking mad i wasted 60 dollars on uncharted 4 thinking i could give ND one last chance

The are like something you get at McDonalds. They feel really satisfying while you play then, but afterward you feel guilty and empty inside, realizing what you just did.

It would have been better as movies. Not even kidding.

Reminder that you escaped

it was a good movie

Jesus Christ.

This. It was cutscenes broken up with very shallow gameplay. But sadly that's what sells these days and normalfags lap that shit up.

We need more female developers

da fuck Holla Forums?

1st one is boring as fuck.
2nd one was worth a rental
Never bothered playing the rest cause they just didn't interest me enough to check out the rest.

I heard drake gets mega beat by a woman in 4 or something which is hilarious.

that fight scene is hilarious, its some 110 pound women beating up 2 big men with ease.

Boring as fuck. Too much walking around and talking. Either to the other characters or to yourself. Then there's the boring ass linear climbing that takes up 70% of the game time. The stories seem to consistently be "let's go find treasure and never actually get it."

Once "action" begins to happen, it's a straightforward cover shooter. Also with talking during the shooting.

There's nothing else to it. Literally.

Her thighs look like stretch marked chicken skin

she looks really jewish, which is weird for nathan and elena because they're essentially flawless looking.

Garbage

The first one is good. Its the only one i played though.

Where's the SFM porn? I mean, like, shit… How are we supposed to scare off the normalfags if you don't post little girls getting blasted in their cunts?

I liked the first two, never played the third. and the fourth looks shit

well this explains why then

Uncharted is only worth a play if you're using the Doughnut Drake skin, because it's hilarious watching a fat guy who's constantly having bridges and ledges, and wooden platforms collapse under his tremendous girth.

The faggot devs left him out of Uncharted 4 because they're too progressive and enlightened to be shitlords in [current year]. So instead of making fat jokes, here's a non-binary stronk African American woman to beat the shit our of your privileged white cis-scum ass every other cutscene.

Pls tell me that is a loli and not a boy

Played all three with my gf who's terrible at games and had a good time with it. Gameplay improves from 1 to 2 but slacks in 3 but probably due to having a b-team working on it while the a-team worked on the last of us which was a total bore in my humble opinion. The 3rd one's plot isn't as good as the 2nd one but they do mix it up with some interesting effects and ideas. 3 feels very much like an experiment and it mostly pays off with interesting level design and trippy sequences.

Haven't played 4 yet. Got it but found myself playing other games.

Where tf is the sfm porn

Id masturbate regardless

Its trash

This is bait, right?

...

...

THAT'S EVEN WORSE

I hope you're talking about uncharted waters and not what I think you're talking about.

What's wrong with my opinion? They are decent games for what they are.

Also, I liked that pic. Fuck you.

woah ebbin id checked :DDDDDD

I actually like the Uncharted games. Come at me bro

Between this and CRAPCUNTS this board is in dire need of a cleansing.

This needs to stop

You madman

I thought that was the purpose of Overcuck/Paladindus threads though.
To bait and shitpost them to death

No, he meant Bioshit. CoD gets shit on. Bioshit has always been shit and inspired others to be shit.

It was not. It was bad as in the opposite of good. Fable 3 doesn't make the other Fable titles less bad.

Shitty "movie" game.

I tried one of the games in a public PS4 once, can't remenber which. The most important thing I realized was that a few minutes playing it told me exactly why that game doesn't have a PC port.
Because nobody would like it on the PC, that's it.

The "platforming" sections are just a linear sequence where you move in a straight line because the camera constantly shifts around so the next ledge is in front of you. There is no skill and there is never any real danger of failing since, even when it's possible, it's terribly easy not to miss it.

The exploration isn't much better, it's always somewhat small rooms connected by doors that only happen on the next cutscene and don't worry about backtracking because the previous area was already unloaded from the memory. The puzzles are terribly simple and token, they exist to pretend there's some chalenge there.

The shooting was the best part in the game and it was also horrible, which tells you much about everything else. Guns don't matter, just pick one from the ground and shoot. Everyone is so close you're not gonna shoot and their aim is so bad that you're not gonna die either. Ammo is plenty, grenades too, regenerating health means there's no consequences for sucking at combat either.
I honestly don't know what's more token in the game, the combat or the puzzles. Because during most gunfights, it felt like they included it to have an obstacle that wasn't just another locked door, but they are never fun or interesting at all.

I played that level where you are going out of some wrecked mansion, a few goons show up, you shoot them, whole place starts burning and you have to run out.
During the shooting parts, there never was any real danger, and even during the fire part, I could take as long as I wanted in any ledge while also being prevented from falling down. It was supposed to be an exciting part of the game full of danger and suspense and it felt incredibly dull and boring since the game plainly doesn't allow you to fuck up.

Now compare that to just about any shooter on PC, even mediocre ones. Compare it to Shadow Warrior, Hard Reset, Serious Sam, nuDoom, etc. The movement, the guns, the resources, the levels, the story, the pacing and the action, all 10 times better than what that game had.
If it was ported to PC, it would be held to proper standards and everyone would shit on it, that's why it's still a console exclusive.

I miss the fucking age of the PSX where console games where fun platformers, hack&slash or menu-heavy games like JRPG, consoles could do that so fucking well, why compete with PC's for the FPS market?

Yeah, sure, there's a dire need for cleansing alright…

No. A 5/10 is not shit, 3/10 and below are.
Both the first and the second Bioshock where mediocre games, but still very functional and fun at times.
A shit game is one that is constantly crashing, or has missing resources from it, or has major gameplay elements working against each other, or has the story making no fucking sense despite being story heavy.
Please, let's fucking stop this "everything is either shit\10 or cummings\10", there's a whole scale to grade shit inbetween.

For instance, while the first Bioshock had the hacking minigame seriously fucking up the pacing of the game (you literally have to stop all action around you to play it), the audiotapes where a badly used crutch that never achieved as much as SS2 did and they made a very bad job at explaining exactly WHY Rapture became what you found, they had actually fun plasmids, like the Typhoon or TK and you could prepare for most fights beforehand, while also providing an unique landscape to see and the "would you kindly" twist was a nice touch in it's story.

Meanwhile, BS2 improved in some aspects, namely holding guns and plasmids at the same time, the hacking minigame and some of the UI but the story greatly suffered with the villain that made little sense and the minor characters you found that all sounded very retarded instead of good or evil.

First game is pretty good.
Second game is occasionally fun, but tends to get bogged down with cutscenes/QTEs.
Everything after that is trash.

she's cute
I'd give her a fat load of headpats

You nailed it.
Uncharted looks kind of exciting at times if you're not the one with the controller, since maybe the guy playing did some cool move. If you're holding the controller, the illusion is spoiled.

Tomb Raider with protag changed to some nobody faggot and gameplay changed to cinematic bullshit.
Or in short- sony "game".

And what makes you think bioshock is 5/10?

agree

The story that, although not that good, had it's moments.
The aesthetics, not many games do underwater post-apoc that well.
The mechanics, whereas most shooters would give you only guns, you had plasmids there and passive plasmids to mix things a bit.
The Big Daddies and Little Sisters, which were a very creative idea and well done if you read the logs (but ultimately a very Deus Ex Machina plot device)

Also some of the characters, like Tenenbaum, Cohen, Andrew Ryan and Doctor Stein. Each had flaws as in, the character wasn't properly built, but what worked on them, worked very well.
For instance, Tenembaum is a nice story about redemption and motherhood that ultimately is badly executed since you never hear about anything that sparked a change in her, or how the plasmid she gives you to spare little girls renders the whole deal behind them a moot point (they aren't just corpses waiting to die, harvesting them is actually murder).

5/10 is quite possibly the best classification for both Bioshocks since half of their shit works just fine but the other half is broken.

Now Infinite, that's a solid 3/10, would be 2/10 if it had constant crashes. And you gotta make the distinction here because those 2 points in difference matter a lot. For all the bad there was in both Bioshock 1&2, at least they weren't as bad as Infinite and some of it was enjoyable. And it's important to tally that up so it's not forgotten and instead of devs\publishers just making a broad statement like "people just don't like bioshock anymore", they actually have a different there they can exploit to make a better game next time.

Goddamn son, go back to your containmment thread.
Better yet, go back to whatever shithole you came from.

But all three of those games are fun.

Reminder that they are here right now in the overwatch general

I liked the second game's multiplayer.

The 3rd game totally soiled it though.

...

Uncharted is okay. I played the first three games thanks to the PS4 collection of them. I think it does what it sets out to do and it does it fairly well. The gameplay is neat at best and frustrating at worst. The platforming is pretty crap in the first game but it gets smoother with each game. Story is okay. Character interactions and getting to explore locations are the best parts of the games.

The games do a good job at making you feel like you're on a globe-trotting treasure hunting adventure. However, that's all you're going to get: just a feeling. It's a thrill ride, not an actual adventure. At times it's a bumpy thrill ride as well. Nathan sure can't take a lot of hits on Normal difficulty, resulting in what can feel like cheap deaths sometimes since Nathan moves kind of slowly.

...

...

It's a mediocre feature film.

I mean, if someone actually does like eating literal shit who am I to judge? This comic proves nothing.

it's the worst kind of (((game))) that can be made, it's one of the reasons I decided to allow VN's on Holla Forums, because if shit like this and TLoU qualifies as "games" then so should Steins;Gate and Fate/Stay Night

Why does that look like a younger version of me with bigger eye brows. I'm fucking terrified.

1 > 2 > 3 > 4
2 = 3 > 4
I find it retarded that they dumbed down the AI from the first game to be brain-dead morons. In the first one you fight pirate nogs that dodge whenever they see you pointing at them like quickly ducking down when you aim for their head, while in the second you have a professional army of mercenaries that blindly walk towards you as you simply mow them down.

is there a child porn DLC ?

I liked the first one. Cool, fun, matiné-adventure-story.

Nothing more, nothing less. Never understood the hype but i had the most fun with the first one. Can't even remember the 2&3rd installments.

Why didn't Uncharted 4 have monsters? Why does Naughty Dog hate fun?

They were trying to kill more and more fun with each installment because "muh mature medium"
I didn't really mind the yeti thing because it was still fairly interesting but the shitty water that makes you hallucinate was complete bullshit. You can tell they had initially planned to create an Indiana Jones type of game but with later installments decided that fantasy is too much fun and that you should be able to explain everything

I liked Uncharted 2. It was a big, dumb game but in moderation that's fine. Unfortunately it became a genre.

i miss doughnut drake

I made a fairly long and detailed post about how Uncharted is liquid shit and isn't ported to PC specifically because it would be held against much better games.
Uncharted is a console exclusive because it's fundamentally the healthy but not-that-great kid running in the "special olympics" so he can actually win.
How you construed this as "playing devils advocate" for it, I'll never understand.

I also never said Bioshock itself is "fun" but rather that some of it's elements are. Typhoon and TK plasmids were indeed as was laying traps all over the place or doing wrench-only runs.
But I guess the concept of black and white reviews is the only thing your brain can handle just like kotaku, lol

Saved, that shit is hilariously accurate.

Uncharted sells polished visual spectacle but not much mechanical depth. The story it tells alright and when compared to other games it's pretty great. It's perfect for people who like to play games but don't play a lot of games, so pretty much game journalists.

What's Holla Forums's thoughts on Tomb Raider: Underworld? With the popularity of Uncharted and Nu-Tomb, I think it's going to be the last of the classic style of Tomb Raider games - but I haven't played one since Tomb Raider III and the series was already going downhill. I'm getting the the itch to play one, and while it's been so long that I could probably just replay a classic title - I'd rather play one that I've never completed before.

Is it worth $10? Worth a pirate?

Confirmed for never played; BioShock 2 was the best of the series you doublenigger

I pirated it and it was a decent amount of fun. It's not an amazing game but it's probably worth $10. Reminder that Lara Croft and Guardian of Light/Temple of Osiris are better games

Movie games.

Spot on user. I've always hoped that the praise for Uncharted on Holla Forums was a result of people who had nothing else to play.

It's sad that a simple, fun game has to turn into the destroyer of the game industry and be universally hated on Holla Forums.

I'm glad there's at least some people here that can appreciate a game for what it is and not just scream "ITS SHIT, SHIT, YOU LIKE EATING SHIT".

Well, I'm not looking for something to blow me away. I'm just looking for something that's competent to scratch an itch. I played Uncharted 4 because Sony insisted I have it along with my Bloodborne box, but was left underwhelmed. All the environmental "puzzles" were basically highlighted with white neon glowing edges and a buddy NPC who basically told you exactly what to do and where to go at all times in case you're too thick to follow the glowing trail. And the combat was so shit, I honestly didn't know it was a core component of the game at first. I thought it was just a toss-together consequence of failing a stealth takedown until the game forced you into several set-piece shootouts.

Also… there's a "magnetic grip" which causes Nathan to teleport up to a foot in any direction to make jumps he would have otherwise missed. I thought at first that this was just and example of devs dumbing down the game for casuals - but then I realized that it was just a band-aid for really shitty level design.

Anyhow, I'll give Underworld a try and see if that does the trick.

I'm with this guy.

Fairly linear gameplay for all three. You are funneled through either an invisible or visible tunnel, and then come to an open area where there will be platforming, "Puzzle solving" that requires the intelligence of a lab rat, or a mixture of the two (solve puzzle first then fight, or the other way around). There are also QTE sequences if I recall correctly. Gunplay is is functional third person gimmick. Think Indiana Jones with moar guns.

First game had forgettable storytelling. Most of the time is spent in forested areas which gets stale pretty fast. I think at one point my girlfriend was watching me sneak around in the base and she made some offhand joke prediction about nazi zombies

Second was the best in the series. Improved storytelling with VA that put a lot of life into the characters. Standard slav final boss fight that is boring.

Third was a let down. I really can't tell why it was a letdown either. It felt like they were trying to improve on the second, but then just fell short on every front. The bad guy is some women who I guess wants to go find some ancient weapon of mass destruction (because you know, that is totally easier then just fucking donating to the Clinton foundation, but I digress). Her well-dressed henchman is some mysterious voodoo magic guy who can eat gun shot wounds and do some mind psychosis bullshit and you never really find out what his deal is.

Can't tell you anything about the other games because I wasn't willing to drop dollarydoos for PS4.

W-what? Fable 3 was the worst Fable game by a fucking landslide, so of course not.

Fable 2 >>>>> Fable 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fable 3

This is amazing. Now all those crumbling floors and walls make sense.

This is joke, no?

Why do western devs always have to fuck up the face?
