Yeahp.
And they all range from 100MB to 500MB updates. And there's 46 of them. And my internet speed is awful. #fuckSteam #I'llLikeItAgainAsSoonAsTheNextSummerSaleHappens

I can agree with this. Well, assuming you mean the older Tomb Raider games.
no. I got to firelink and just wandered around for like 30 minutes. I have no fucking clue where to go. there are no discernable paths.
I did encounter naked katana man tho. and got wrecked of course
I never played any Uncharted game. It's too late for me now.

Uncharted is overrated trash, and I'm saying this as somebody playing the series atm and somewhat enjoying them.
Cutscenes are self-indulgent and make you focus on a plot that it's nothing but forgivable garbage (good lord, Uncharted 2's argument is such a fucking mess), shooting mechanics are prehistoric (seriosly, it's barely a step over classic RE) and the platforming is outright broken.
Just a couple of days ago I was playing the God of War remaster for PS3 with my girlfriend and we were both in awe at how a PS2 game had much better pacing and mechanics than Nughty Dog's Tom Raider rip-off. Why in the seven hells Kratos is better at jumping and holding onto things than Nathan Drake? FFS, there's like a five year difference and an entire generation of hardware and software separating both games.

I've played all 4 of them to date (1-3 and GA), and Drake is an unlikable lead, the shooting is detrimental to the games, the exploration is nonexistent and it's just set piece to setpiece. The only interesting character in the series was Chloe and she was horribly mis and underused.

Same.
The first has aged really badly (I still enjoy it tho) and the third is just inferior to the second in every way except graphically.

Uncharted 2 was trash and Chloe only existed for the self-satisfaction of Naughty Dog's artists and producers. Shit character imbued in a shit plot. Everything about her was downright puerile.

Uncharted 2 the goat

Naughty dog must have made a deal with the devil for that one

Let me sum up Chloe's entire worth in one image.
This is it. This is all that Chloe was in Uncharted 2.

trabby you getting dark souls 3 at some point? please don't let any boyfriends get it for you, it's just so good, we can't let it get ruined
are you one of the "games aren't art" people
I think I was drawn to the dose of realism (I use that term loosely since these are video games). You feel the stress of everything that Nate does. No ninja parkour and perfect kung fu takedowns. That shit is dirty. If a ledge looks like if wouldn't hold his weight it probably won't. It's not innovation incarnate but it's not bad at what it is.
Cute.
Only played 1 and 2, but they're nothing special.
Shooting is good enough tier and it's just a bunch of set pieces with nice graphics.
End bosses in both 1 and 2 are also very poorly thought out.
But hey, the graphics are really nice.
Haven't played Last of Us though, heard that's good.
Bought it for $10 off PSN, will play it one day.
no. i'm one of those "developers suck at making art" people
Pegging?

haha. I got my exex bf to get me the Dark Souls artbook for my birthday. it's the only thing that didn't end up teared up & in the trash. even he couldn't ruin the Miyazaki magic.
buut I don't really plan on getting DS3 anytime soon tbh. I really really loved design & gameplay of the first one. I don't want to make any quick judgements since I haven't played the new one yet but from what I saw it's... just different. I didn't like the second one at all and even Bloodborne (still being an awesome game) just wasn't my cup of tea.
If it's not what they're aiming for then yeah. It's pretty easy to distinguish between games purely meant to be art and games purely meant to be fun/make money. Something can be one or two of those, or it can be all 3, but it doesn't have to be.

Only ever played the first game and decided "Yep, that's enough for me". Never really got its long lasting appeal among others.

this is a question on okcupid. wat?
I think Dark Souls 3 is their highest quality output to date, polished to a tee. There's a ton of throughput from Souls 1 to this game, and the Bloodborne influence is there but not as much as you seem to think.

I don't know what the story is here, but the appearance of there being a story is enough
Conflict = drama
I didn't need to take film courses to know that

i just maintain that art is art and trying to strictly define it is a pointless endeavor due to its inherently subjective nature. Art is something that exists. It shouldn't be used as a qualitative statement unless you can get everyone on earth to agree what "good" art is.
they also suck at being fun too
that takes it way further than the questions i read...
I speak for everyone on earth because I'm obviously the best qualified

reminds me of rick & morty somehow.
also...yeah..hm maybe you're right. still not really in a Dark Souls mood right now.
God of War has some of the best handheld games ever spawned from a home console series without just being a direct port.

art is a terrible term. Just because something is bad art doesn't keep it from being art. Games are full of so many works of art that it's sometimes hard to draw a cohesive principle from the whole, but that doesn't make it not art.
Here are some great examples of shit that's technically art:
Some fanart is amazing. Some paintings, sculptures and tattoos are breath-taking. You don't get to decide something is not art just because it's not something you appreciate. So no more of this Uncharted is killing the art form or game devs can't be artful please. Thank you!

The best thing about any Uncharted game is the Chip & Ironicus LP of it

My favorite is:
"Do you believe in dinosaurs?"
Or all the blatantly racist ones that are only yes or no answers.
The main theme us great, and music is art. The setpieces are also visually nice.
Not as good as Night Trap but still...

Oh right that is true, I do enjoy the Uncharted main theme a lot.
And the animations can be amazing.

Tell them!
I mean I despise Twilight, but it's still art. It's just very bad art as far as I'm concerned.
