Listen up kid, time to get your education.

Both Ubisoft's developer history has been mainly flops recently, hence the Tencent bailout.

Bioware has been on death's door before Veilguard.


Naughty Dog has only been producing hits since Uncharted 2 and had an award winning TV show. The fact that you compared Ubisoft and Bioware shows that you are still new to hardcore gaming.

It's interesting how since Uncharted 2 they have been producing hits but their last good game was Crash Bandicoot 2.
Since Uncharted they have only produced unimaginative 3rd person corridor shooters/walkers with forced fake emotional stories.

So has anyone here actually checked it out yet or has this just been 6 pages of the usual pissing and moaning?

A free update.

Surely no one would complain..... right?

I will only complain to say that once again Naughty Dog apparently has all the time in the world to do anything besides put out a 60 FPS patch for the PS4 versions of Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy. People should not have to buy Legacy of THieves to enjoy something so basic, especially when LoT has no multiplayer.

That being said this might actually motivate me to get Part II Remastered. All of the other extras were nice but I was satisfied with the vanilla version. This would fundamentally change the main single player experience for me.

Finished it a couple hours ago.

I have to say the original story structure is the way to go. There's so much tension deflated by going back and forth between protagonists. Ellie's vengeance doesn't feel cohesive anymore because you're immediately shown Abby's side of the story and how sympathetic she comes across. In fact, Chronological starts the story with Abby, almost feeling like this is her story and not Ellie's.

Something i noticed while playing Chronological is that, while you obviously go through all 3 days of Seattle back and forth between characters, there seems to be more Abby sections than Ellie. Maybe is just me or if someone could correct me on that.

I will say though that chronological helps give context to when things are happening between characters. While the original structure gives clues and hints to this, it's easier to understand it when you know where in the story each character is. For example (to avoid spoilers), when Owen and Abby are on the boat... Nora is seeing red.

All in all, Chronological should never be anyone's first time experiencing Part II. But, as a second playthrough i think it's a fun experiment. It does make you see the story a bit differently and helps piece together sequence of events easier.
