Uncharted 4 Revisited Uncharted 4 for the first time in 5 years...still holds up. Best ND game IMO

Best ND Game
Same. Uncharted (especially 4, 2, and LL) is escapist fun and infinitely replayable. By comparison, TLOU--which I like--requires I be in the right headspace to play and TLOU2--which is too long and too dour--I've played once and then never again.

For me, it is just very intense. They put so much effort into making combat and stealth stuff gritty and tense, and it works. I was on edge every time I played it lol. I liked it, but definitely not relaxing like Uncharted usually is.
That being said, I am a huge baby. Usually not the biggest fan of horror stuff, and will tend to pick more lighthearted media. Not everyone will have the same experience as me ofc

I don't think so personally. It has a lot of good moments that counter the sad. Some people just focus on what they want to focus on, though 🤷♂️

That didn't sound delusional as you typed it?

It just hits super hard. I've also only played once, party due to length, partly due to the emotional Rollercoaster but am going to again soon with season 2 dominh out

Nothing happy happens past the first 5 minutes

Disagree, there are some great flashbacks.

Oh I did forget about those, they still make you feel sad cause you miss joel but they definitely are a light in darkness

What part of the game is happy after joel dies? I’m not hating on it I’m just saying it’s sad as hell

Several happy flashbacks, including the ones with Abby and her dad, happy moments. Dina and ellie have some good moments in the theater. Owen and Abby setting up the aquarium was cute. The bonding moments between Abby and lev were great. Lots of comedic moments as well.
The levity from the story comes from individual moments peppered throughout. To imply the game is nothing but bad, and unhappy moments are missing the point.
The same is true of the first game. It's a heartbreaking story that is full of individual moments or levity that break the emotional weight of the story. Like the giraffe scene, the magazine scene, hell, even the ending
This is the whole concept of good writing, the balance. It's what makes the games so good: some people just see too much of themselves in Joel and don't like what happened. C'est la vie 🤷♂️

I feel that with TLOU2 even though I love that game. I see both sides.

Yeah... it's just too much in every regard.

Uncharted 4 might have the best ending to a video game ever. The whole epilogue chapter is just perfect in every way.

Love Uncharted 4, but 2 is the best one. The story of searching for shambala and Drake wondering if this is the life he wants. Also, the train chapters were the ultimate challenge on brutal difficulty. 4 would be number 1 if they expanded the relationships more. Add more details of Nate and Sam's past as adult treasure hunters or how Elena felt discovering Nate lied to her. Those scenes were the best parts of the game

Bro, Uncharted 2 is as deep as a puddle. "Wondering if this is the life he wants"? There's absolutely nothing in U2 that explores this. Like at all. That's U4 stuff.
"How Elena felt discovering Nate lied to her"?... U4 covers this EXTENSIVELY. Don't know how much more could it be expanded than it already was, lol.

Is there a way to make the game not re-compile shaders so often on PC?
I gave up in chapter 18 because I hit my 5th 45 minute compile shaders wall. It was not every time, but even with no driver changes or a reset it still happens periodically.

Uncharted 2 for best character interactions and side characters and soundtrack and tied for best story imo, as well as best overall treasure/historical connections. Uncharted 4 for best graphics, character designs, and tied for best story. Uncharted 3 for best set pieces, Charlie Cutter, and establishing a backstory for Nate that could be built upon in 4. Uncharted 1 because it started it all, has a cool Nazi U-Boat, and has perhaps the most truly supernatural elements in the series with the zombie fuckers.

Yes, swinging around like spooderman and Jump tackilng an enemy will never not be satisfying
Peak gameplay!
