The problem with Phantom Pain, was that it's world was too big, with too little to do, and too much repetition.
I am talking graphically. Everybody has their own taste is games, and that is fine. But come on, Uncharted and Batman could/should have been released on PS3 as well.
As someone who hasn't yet bought a PS4, and is still using their PS3, I can't disagree with you. Especially with Uncharted 4, what with being a fan of the series.
As I was reading your post I thought you were about to say the game failed to live up to the hype and what you were expecting. "phew"
It is indeed a fantastic game and one of the best gaming experiences.
Absolutely! Isn't terribly fun being in that minority when everyone else is having fun, either, but it happens. I was happy that wasn't the case with this game, though.
The other games deal with interesting themes and the characters grow interestingly alongside each other, but Uncharted 4 takes this all to another level. We now see these characters older, sometimes wiser, sometimes not, and find out how they've been in the years since Drake's Deception, how they've changed and how they've stayed the same. I've adored these games from the very beginning, and all the sweet little winks to the past games that ND have placed into the game are beautiful to behold. I took thirty minutes going through Nate and Elena's home just looking at all the trinkets from the past Drake had collected as I gradually found out what they'd been doing with their lives since the last game.
It's interesting to see Drake's home and how he's dealing with the mostly boring life he's been wrestled into living, and seeing him cope with not having any more adventures to get his blood pumping. He was born for a storm, and this calm is clearly unsuitable for his temperament.
The controls are the best they've ever been in this game, the technical aspects are the best I've ever seen, truly groundbreaking, and it's all of what you want from an Uncharted game, taken even bigger and more mature and adult in many ways.
I'm at chapter 8 right now, and I've got to say, after playing chapters 6 and 7, NaughtyDog have my stamp of approval for doing a James Bond game. For those that have played that far into the game, you know what I mean. ;)
If you own a PS4, you owe it to yourself to buy this game and experience its wonders. If you're an Uncharted fan, it's a must-must-buy. If you have an XBOX or PC...convert?
Overall I'm enjoying this more than Ghosts and way way more than Black Ops 2, I would say it's the best since Modern Warfare 3 (my personal favourite of the series).
I have no interest in Black Ops 3. Black Ops 2 was awful imo and from what I can tell, the movement is a clunkier version of Titanfall. The new one looks interesting though. Although they can get fucked if they think I'm paying £67 for it (oh, my mistake, it comes with a "remake" of the original Modern Warfare, a game I already own, but yeah I'll definitely pay another £30 to own it with better graphics, it's a stupid idea imo).
This year I'm excited for Titanfall 2 (the original is fantastic, it's my go to multiplayer shoot em up, COD for single player Titanfall for multiplayer is my preference, never been much for Battlefield) and Dishonoured 2 (the first is one of my favourites of all time). As well as FIFA obviously. The lack of Assassin's Creed this year is a bit disheartening but I suppose there's the movie, which I'm tempering my expectations for because I want it to be good but don't want to be disappointed.
MW1 was great and a real breath of fresh air at the time but I prefer MW3 due to how much more bombastic it was. Both to me are great games.
MW2 on the other hand... I liked the Red Dawny US invasion stuff. That was fun. But the "No Russian" level put a really sour taste in my mouth. Like it just seemed really distasteful in this sort of game. That sort of half arsed, distasteful attempt at adding depth and gravity is also what sunk Black Ops 2 for me.
The series is at its best when it just goes all out and embraces what it is imo. A big dumb globe trotting OTT action film. Modern Warfare 3 did this perfectly. So many fun memorable setpieces, and quite inventive at times too. The all out war in the center of New York, the shootout on the plane, the jeep chase through the London underground, the eifel tower falling down, etc. It was all so ridiculous and fun. They really went all out in terms of scope and scale with that one. Thought it was a good ending for the two main characters (Soap and Captain Price) too.
Anyone playing DOOM? I'm finding it more fun than the last several Call of Duty games, but I'm playing on super easy and it's still kicking my ass, lol
This is either an indicator that Doom is an amazing game, or that you're a shitty gamer. Either way, "more fun than the last several COD games" suggests only that it's a game rather than a repackaged expansion pack to COD 2.
Getting into the multiplayer right now, and having a good enough time. I hate all the mysticals, sidekicks and other garbage players can use as crutches in the matches, however. I'm waiting for Naughty Dog to include a game mode that's classic Uncharted, with just guns and grenades, and no other stuff. Survival would be nice to see back too, as it's my favorite mode in the Uncharted multiplayers, for both 2 and 3.
I thought the ending couldn't have been better, really. Over about ten minutes, you explore their family home and discover what all the characters have been up to since the pre-epilogue cutscene. Going through Nate's old artifacts from all his adventures was beautiful, as were the special themes that played from the specific game the objects appeared in originally. As someone who has been a fan of the series from the start, it really solidified that you were with Nate on all his greatest journeys, and faced it all beside him.
The final shot being a photo of Nate as a boy (and his small beginnings) juxtaposed with a shot of his adult self going on an adventure (achieving greatness) was beyond beautiful to me, and gave credence to the very motto Nate always tried to live up to, and finally did in his own special way. I was so satisfied and proud to see all my favorite characters living the lives they had wanted to all along, and simply being happy and safe. I haven't gotten that emotional over a game since Red Dead.
This is a fan created PC port of the N64 classic. It looks the same but it's been given a revamp with new features such as mouse looking and jumping abilities added. It's fantastic.
I'm playing it, but for some reason I liked Paris and Sapienza a lot better.
And they both can be easily converted into a James Bond video game level by just replacing 47 with 007. ;)

Hah, yes, that... but also Marrakesh seems a little more linear. And although the marketplace is huge, there's less areas to explore.
i liked the first two levels a bit more as well, but i still see a lot of Bond in it, just differenct aspects. The Marrakesh level is pure Living Daylights, when Bond is send to kill Pushkin.
