but uncharted has always had strong female characters. the only issue i have with nadine in 4 is she is just kinda there and doesnt do much storywise. other then kicking nates rear end a couple times, being generic second in command, thats kinda it. outside the one moment at the end where she basically points out the everyone has murdered each other for the treasure and she is done with this dumb poo poo and fucks off that being said she is great in lost legacy. which i honestly liked alot more then 4 which kinda felt up its rear end a bit.

even though the computer I have now would probably run it just fine.

As I understand it, no, the PC port is so horribly optimized that it still doesn't run that well on modern machines and probably never will. Also it still has Games for Windows Live integrated into it. (These two facts may or may not be related.)

It's actually kind of absurd that for such a highly rated game, and with its sequel printing money for them as well, Rockstar gives zero shits about fixing up 4. But I'm sure they'll patch it in another few years...to strip out the music they lost the rights to.

Oh god, I forgot it required GFWL. :barf: I remember I had to create an account because if I wasn't logged in, I couldn't save my game.

I know you needed an earlier patch version to re-enable mod support, but I think one of the older patches also got better performance.

This is why if they ever make an Uncharted 5 (or Uncharted 7, actually if you factor in Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy) it better star Nate and Elena's daughter, or be some kind of God of War 2018-style Daddy-Daughter road trip game.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:

La Mulana 2 beat them to that, and is a better ruins exploration game to boot.

Why is there this fascination with generational characters? It shows up in Uncharted 4 and every Tomb Raider reboot and a lot of other stuff, too me it feels like it's just a diet chosen one. I get it a bit when they just want to rejuvenate that main character and switch to their identical child , but both Uncharted and Tomb Raider do it retroactively and just add that backstory to the MC's parents . Of course the main character is good at archaeology/jumping/murder because their parent was too.
I wonder how Rhianna Pratchett felt after going really hard on the fact that she was a writer in her own right instead of just because of her father was, then went on to write the newest Tomb Raider reboot which is all about "Hey Lara become the Croft your ancestors were, finish your father's work". Original Lara Croft was disowned for being an adventurer and had to fund her expeditions and lifestyle by writing travel books vs the new Lara Crofts just relying on the family wealth and her fathers research.
I get that you might want to do the family heirloom or the next generation finishing off the previous's unfinished work, but I see no reason for why you couldn't do that with a non-family mentor/teacher just as well.

More importantly, your character only fulfills that prophesy because becoming the chosen one is a condition of their parole.
I'm pretty sure that empire does Mandatory Prison Service as a part of growing up since they need to make sure that everyone is covered for being The Chosen One. Does the prophecy explicitly state they have to be a prisoner, or does it just happen that way every game I've played so far?

The incel perception of the chad is the strangest thing about them. You’d think they would hate Chad, but he’s like this terrible god or unknowable wildman of the wilderness they revere from afar.

If they hated Chad, they might end up hating a man more than they do women. Also at least they have the honesty that were their perceived positions reversed they'd be that person in a heartbeat.

One Summer I decided to play GTA4 as the nicest Niko to every character getting everyone to 100% as much as I could. It got to me that the game honestly wanted me to pick between a character you can straight up date during the entire game vs someone who is only available at 10 PM on a day or two and only has like... 10 lines in the whole game? Like, you can date her again, but you're stuck in silence. Why wouldn't I pick Nolan over that, Jesus.

My favourite thing about the story/action disconnect in GTA 4 is that it inspired someone to make an attempt at a guide for a crimeless playthrough. It's honestly pretty interesting if very nerdy

I think its more that if you make 95% of your video footage of the media then the media owners throw a shitfit and take down your channel claiming you're pirating the media.

Apparently it is. I don't remember the particulars but FoldableHuman talked about how it helps with attracting and retaining viewers compared to not having a screen presence, in either this or the last thread.

I always assumed if you had no job prospects after school in the UK they gave you a top hat and a gaming PC so you could make a living on YouTube.

I put TB and Sterling in the same category of youtubes that live by retelling internet drama but with lukewarm video game takes sprinkled in.

I used to listen to destructoid's podcast like 12 years ago and sterling has barely changed.

I quite like listening to Northernlion and CallMeKevin. The voice that drives me nuts, that I feel kinda bad about, is a guy from the podcast Read It And Weep. He has that speech impediment where he hits his Rs oddly, that always sounds really obtrusive in an American voice, and it's not his fault and he's a funny dude but it grates on me.

I mean I don't 'know' either of them beyond osmosis but one of them looks like he physically can throw a punch and the other is Logan Paul, at least McGregor vs Mayweather had the element of 'well yea but McGregor has a very successful UFC career so maybe it won't be THAT embarrassing for him'.
