On the other hand, Yakuza made me sign up for a year of Muay Thai classes and challenge my college nemesis to a fistfight (with gloves, obviously) in a year from now. Majima is my mom and moms are tough.

So you are one of those nerds who declared another nerd you nemesis because his cosplay was the same as yours but better/he always won in chess club?

That game has such an incredible concept I'm willing to ensure a bit of MRA bullshit for it

Not willing to spend real money for the privilege of enduring said bullshit though so I'm waiting for a deep sale in a few years

UC1 takes some getting used to because “enemies lose accuracy and are easier to hit when you rush them” is such a weird and backwards concept in games that it’s really hard to gel with.

If you can manage that it’s a great game, though they did balance it way better in UC2 and beyond.

Not to a diehard Sony veteran, that was the entire concept behind Syphon Filter and I maintain that was a good shootmans game!

The actual secret to Uncharted is that popping out of cover is the most inefficient way to run. Always be running, always be firing from the hip, and close the distance because your fists kill guys faster than your guns. PG-13 action movie rules.

I think this is just because the genre improved on it after the fact. The only real comparison I've experienced is Gears of War and I'm liking Uncharted's combat way more. It's smoother and faster and the melee moves make moving between cover much easier.

I'm playing Tomb Raider Anniversary and I can't remember which game started the "press button to regain your composure" mechanic. Anniversary and Drake's Fortune are contemporaries, there's no way they informed either but I think Drake's Fortune has these weird balancing mini-games because SIX-AXIS and I don't remember if it's Tomb Raider 2013 that carries this tradition or if it's an Uncharted game.

That's only a small part of the game, the main theme for all the characters is authority/parental issues. If you're gonna lazily dismiss something, at least lazily dismiss the right thing.

Uncharted is a big dumb action movie and you're a big dumb action hero and you should run around just shooting wildly and yet with perfect accuracy while being unfazed by the millions of bullets that are hitting you

Any other playstyle is objectively wrong :colbert:

It's not, but the gameplay is definitely not the high mark of the series and you should try to make things easier on yourself instead of risking getting burned out

I'm nowhere near burning out. I've made it halfway through the game and loving the poo poo out of it. Even though it's hard death is so very cheap and the combat is so fun that I don't mind that much.

The best thing about Uncharted games is how if you die you come back instantly with no loading screen. Really helps incentivize one to play them like a crazy moron :supaburn:

You can really tell someone at Naughty Dog hated the death music for Uncharted 3 because the evolution is like

Uncharted 1: blaring horns that trail away to silence as the screen fades to black
Uncharted 2: drawn out flourish reminding you how brutal this game is and that you suck
Uncharted 3: basically the exact same as the second game but LOUDER AND MORE CHAOTIC
Uncharted 4: low rumbling of a drum, barely audible, "gently caress the sound designer of Uncharted 3" -Steve the sound guy

Does the difficulty make a difference? It's a QTE sequence.
