Uncharted 4 is overrated

Its the only one I haven't played multiple times, so for me it wasn't all that great. I guess I am just tired of putting up with Nate's wishy washy bullshit.

This reminds me that I still haven't played uncharted 4 after grabbing the uncharted ps4 bundle. Would it be OK to not have any prior uncharted experience?

This one is definitely not the one to really jump in on. But I mean, its like any tv show, you will eventually catch up on things.

I beat Bloodborne and I can safely say that it was a fun experience. I however would not really recommend it to anyone considering the kind of game it is.

I guess I'm underleveled in ff15. I can't figure out how to raise my defense. Is it based on accessories or by just leveling up?

I was getting my rear end kicked in the ice dungeon even though I'm around level 20.

Inquisition has a fairly interesting story truth be told. It just has some insufferable characters (not even kidding, I think like half of the characters who join your party are straight up unlikeable) and the story is told to you really slowly and you've got stupid MMO style quests as filler before you get to the actually interesting stuff.

It reminds me of Mass Effect 1 where you get pulled in, this you get offered a bunch of boring rear end poo poo to do on the Citadel, and then even more boring rear end sidemissions. But when you play through just the story content on New Game Plus, the game is really fun.

I kind of binged on sidequests last night in FF 15 to get my experience up. After a while, I started hoarding XP to take advantage of the double xp bonus. I gained about 9 levels in one go.

Apologies if this has already been covered, but how the gently caress is Ark, currently an early access game on steam, currently selling for $55 on PS4?

Not only that, there's loving DLC? How in the gently caress is there DLC on an unfinished game?

What the poo poo?

People are willing to spend money on early access stuff. I stopped buying that stuff when a early access game went a completely different direction than when I first bought it

Trico's AI sounds similar to Hewie from Haunting Ground. I remember that first you had to spend a little time training him and then after that, he would follow your commands about 90% of the time.

That was a pretty creepy game.

Knack isn't a terrible game, but it definitely is a game that sends mixed messages. You would think that the game was a easy game for kids by just looking at it, but the game can be hard as gently caress in some places.

It's a game that plays remarkably better on new game plus but it's full of one hit kill bs, and the story for the base game feels half assed.

Now that it's really cheap it may be worth it but I only beat it once and I have no desire to play it again.

My little brother and I used to play some much of the OG Ghost Recon on Ps2. Every Saturday morning was us getting up and playing split screen as we crouched our way through piles and piles of Russian separatists.

I want that.

I dont think it's split screen. But it is solid. There seems to be a lot of customization options for the game with regards to your guns and character. The game is a bit easy, but it is just the first area. But I like it because it's all one instance. 3 of you can be doing a mission, while the other is just loving around on the other side of the map if you want.

I can't even remember what game gave Ubisoft a "don't buy at launch" reputation to Quantum of Phallus. There's been the famous graphical downgrades (no longer done) but launch issues...?

Ubi's been my fav developer lately.

The Division had a few problems at launch and the end game was atrocious. But they have been supporting the hell out of that game. Watch Dogs 1 sucked. But overall, I think they have been a very solid and consistent developer. I love more of their stuff than I hate, and for me, they have been one of the biggest supporters of coop out there.

RE5 is honestly even worse in hindsight, an absolutely clunky stumble of a follow-up to RE4. Nice spectacle but the gameplay is just not nearly up to par, especially with the poorly implemented multiplayer focus.

RE6, on the other hand, is a really underappreciated gem of an action game. It's got a lot of Vanquish's DNA in it, particularly due to its slide mechanic, but it also introduces an overall fluidity and speed that RE5 lacked, and the 2-player element actually feels much more elegantly implemented and part of the experience. I think it's not the most well designed sort of game, it's a bit bloated and there are a lot of so-so parts, but at the same time it has some of the most excellent set pieces put forward in the series. There's a stage where you have to navigate through a submarine, beginning with you entering, ending with you making a narrow escape as it floods with water and sinks, and it's just fantastic, tons of action, some time-based puzzle challenges, and everything looks awesome.

I feel like RE5 burned people out and they didn't come to notice RE6's improvements to the design. It's good the series is moving back to its horror roots, but i think RE4's legacy isn't all bad for the brand overall. RE4 remains one of the greatest games ever made, period, and nothing can take that away from it. It's certainly my favorite Resident Evil game, without question, and the REmake would be the second.

Everything you sai, I think the opposite of. I felt the coop was much better in 5. 6 was the game that stuffed Helena into a room while Leon fought the boss and had a campaign where coop was added later due to people complaining.

The problem with re6 is that you have to dig through a bunch of poo poo to get to some solid gameplay because for some reason they loaded the game up with gimmicky poo poo.

You don't get anything neat for collecting all of it other than a single reference to old TR games, anyway. :v:

I loved the the second one, but TR '13 will always be better in my head. More interesting enemies to fight.

It doesn't help that the secret enemies in the second one are pretty much the same thing as the secret enemies in the first one. Like I was hoping for some kind of weird monstrosities or something and instead I got zombie legionnaires instead of zombie samurai.

It's a really dumb way of looking at the issue. It may be different people working on it in many areas but the output of it isn't really better or worse than Dark Souls 1, but rather different. I know plenty of people that prefer Dark Souls 2 over Dark Souls 1.

I've got the urge to play an epic open-world game. Would like some suggestions.

Horizon looks good but my budget won't stretch to new releases, and I know that I would get easily bored with anything from Ubisoft. I already tried The Witcher but could not get into it. I have played through GTA twice.

Basically, what are my options apart from Skyrim?

Fallout 4, Dying Light, and Assassin's Creed 4 are my suggestions.

After playing through Yakuza 2,3,and 4 on normal, I switched the difficulty of 5 to easy. Best decision I made. The combat system for many boss fights just don't really feel great at all. Bosses will have long rear end life bars, block 80 percent of your hits and stunlock you at times.

Did they ever fix the Batman remasters for PS4 or are they still a broken mess?

Also, I hope Yakuza 6 has made some improvements, because I just finished Yakuza 5 and it felt like a bloated mess. Way too many drat characters and the game just drags in a lot of places. Also, if I have to hear about "Dreams" one more drat time...

I can't do it. I have been trying to, but Batman:Arkham Knight is just a poor substitute for the Arkham gameplay I crave. The Batmobile poo poo is obnoxious and the game feels like it's missing character. Im going to buy the remasters as soon as I can. I just wish Arkham Origins was in there. I really love that game.

I actually really like the Crew. Once I got past the poo poo story mode and just free roamed, I had a blast. I love looking at parts of the United States and even though there isn't gently caress all to see in a lot of places, I think its part of the charm for me to see towns there are nothing more than 5 streets.

Then again, I liked the countryside portion of GTA SA too.

Hi there Bloodborne disliker. I felt like you and then something clicked for me with Bloodborne. I think I feel the same way you do about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

That's pretty much like Dark Souls 1 where areas typically are interconnected instead of their being 5 separate paths that each dead end. Cool. I may have to pick it up once I finally finish Dark Souls 2.
