The retailer that i preordered it just messaged me that i can go pick up the game, but i'm at work right now :/.Gonna have to wait until the afternoon now, oh well...
Btw obviously without spoiling anything is the ending indeed as divisive as Neil said it would be?TLOU iirc had a very divisive ending i personally liked it a lot because it was very anticlimactic.Is it maybe the same in UC4?
You can answer by a simple yes or no actually

When is the OT up, it comes out in under 6 hours in Australia. but i wont be able to pick my copy up till the morning.
That's a cool way to do it. Nice option for the trophy hunters.
e: did some looking around and apparently modifiers don't disable trophies AND and can be used on ANY difficulty after beating the game once. Easy Crushing run
Thought I'd mention before a lot more GAF impressions come in that this game is going to divide people heavily.
It's not drastically different to past Uncharteds but the ratio of certain gameplay and narrative beats are definitely different. The UC2 comparisons will be ceaseless but imo, they're worthless because UC4 is trying to be something new for the franchise.

5 hours to go. That countdown clock under my UC4 tile is such a tease.

I had a quick look in the game pic thread ... thought back to some comparisons mentioned earlier ... fell off my seat laughing.

Pretty interesting coming from the reviewer.
That does sound extremely lazy.

Impressive and give some context of how good he thinks U4 is.

Hey, that reviewer is me - and I only checked back the past four years. Been doing this for a decade now.
Pretty interesting coming from the reviewer.
Thats pretty awesome lol.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Do we know which ones?Pretty interesting coming from the reviewer.
Ori and the Blind Forest, Rayman Legends, Luigi's Mansion 2.
The site's itself has doled out other 9's - but I've not reviewed them.

VG247 Uncharted 4 review: not as groundbreaking as 2, but the best in the series

I don't see how it could be as ground breaking as the second, when games hit the forth instalment the whole formula is pretty much locked in stone, the only ground breaking forth instalment I can think of off the top of my head is cod 4 mw.

Are they sure they were playing UC4 and not UC2... It's easy to confuse the two.

LOL, thats harsh!

Great review.
Pretty interesting coming from the reviewer.
He was giving 9.5 and 10s to all others :-O
Nice. I haven't played LM2, but the other two games are easily top tier. UC4 is in good company.
Haha. Forgot about that.
Live shot from Royal Mail HQ holding onto my copy, and many others' copies until tomorrow.

lol I remember that article.
I personally think the OST is really good. It's incredibly subtle, which is perfect. It serves the story/gameplay, rather than standing alone and being all bombastic and shit.
There's one moment where I felt it could have kicked off and really gone full-ham, and it didn't, which was disappointing, but it's still great on the whole.
FYI finished the game last night. Still chewing on it. Especially the end. A lot of quirky tonal shifts and a couple of minor disappointments for me - but I can't deny the thing is a goddamn masterwork.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is a great game, but UC4 is a class above. It's a classic. A masterwork. RotTR can't match it at all - although in terms of pacing and exploration, I think RotTR may be better. It just feels a lot less special.
I was playing Rise of the Tomb Raider (on PC) immediately before I got Uncharted 4 in my hands.
Uncharted 4 looks better.
I think RotTR has a cleaner look - there isn't strange motion blur or as many artifacts - but the overall impression of UC4 is fucking mindblowing.
There are moments where it looks literally like a digital painting. Like a high-end artist's masterful concept art made real. Very, very close to real life. You push a thumbstick and Drake moves and you're just like... "I'm playing this??"
It's not flawless - there's one setpiece in particular which obviously was a bit shunned in QA because I encountered a whole load of nasty immersion-breaking details - but aside from that... Shit, the thing is practically a playable movie. It's like being in control in Indiana Jones or Jurassic Park (stylistically) or something. It's insane.

Good enough for me.
But it's weird that he say that the gunplay still leaves something to be desired, from all the impressions and from what I've played in the beta, the gunpkay is superb, one of the best in the business I would say.
Yep. That headline is on-point. This is still groundbreaking in a good few ways, though.
The gunplay is amazing. The only thing it leaves you desiring is more of it. There is definitely a paucity of gunplay in UC4. If I had multiplayer in my hands I probably wouldn't be complaining about that.
It might be rare, for the most part you are right, but MGS5 for example did try to be a groundbreaking title for the genre, stealth in an open world sandbox, it was drastically different from previous games in the series, I'd say for the worst though, but I can't deny it tried that and for many that loved it, it succeed.
Hey guys and girls,
started the game saturday and it is quite fun. I think my expectations were a tad too high, but maybe the game will fully convince me later on. I'm in Scotland right now (gamewise)^^
The graphics are not that mindblowing during gameplay, but the cut scenes are really good stuff. Maybe the ps5 can show us such graphics during actual gameplay. Right now it has the typical, sorry for saying that, console-feel to it. The ingame-model can look a bit retarded during certain light-conditions, mainly in the open areas. But for the given hardware and the open areas it is of course naughty. The order looks better imo, but they only gave us tunnels and small playgrounds with little to no gameplay.
The gameplay in UC4 is fun, but I miss the big set-pieces and the pacing is a bit too slow for my taste. Give me those big action-sequences, damnit.
On a side-note: In TLOU and now in UC4 I see some blur around the charcaters, when I circle or move the camera quickly. In UC4 it is especially distracting around Nathan's hair. Is it my tv or the engine/aa-technique? Just curious.
Nevertheless, I am sure, the game will get even better and I am having a lot of fun with it!
Enjoy
