I just went in a random game and got 3 straight captures, I had to double check the other team was actually there. Maybe check the official MP thread if you keep having shitty MM luck?

I wondered about that... It seemed unnecessary.

Yeah, I'll admit, that shit was silly.

It felt like the intent was for
her to be extremely impressionable to Sam and Nate so that the coolaid of becoming the Frame brothers didn't feel too forced, because they were at a high from her story.

low point of the game, that whole chapter. Such an eye roll.
Luckily ch.17-20 is the peak of the game, so

Hype! I really enjoyed chapters 14-15 and was dying to see what happened next.
Playing with friends it feels completely unbalanced.

Just beat it. Dang. Good. Good game.
Two GAF Easter eggs confirmed. Hah, awesome.

They just have easily could have gathered that information
from the journal itself.. Seeing it in their mothers handwriting would have been reason enough

Just finished the game! Really enjoyed my time with it. Don't know if it's my favorite yet, but the combat alone is the best in the series imo. Really love how adventure plays a bigger role in 4 and that I'm not always out there shooting baddies. The game is so beautiful to look at as well.

The title of the video was Sam and Nate's death or something along those lines, I quickly pressed back but it was too late. Now when I try to access the video again, it doesn't let me lol doesn't show the title now, so maybe it was taken down? Not sure. Anyways I'm not even sure it's 100% true, but even if it isn't, that's stupid of them to put it on the Game page.
Edit: The video even auto-played itself.

You're in for a treat. 14&15 are nothing compared to 17-20.

How did I NOT notice those GAF easter eggs? lol
I'll play it again just to see that xD

Agreed. I think it would've been better if they reworked that chapter as a 5 minute cutscene or something, stick it after one of the action heavy chapters as a cool down.
Anyone know what the second one is?

I can seriously listen to Rafe talk for hours, there are so many things about UC4 that are the absolute best in the series, and the villains are one of them.

Seemed like they tried to do a whole Left Behind thing in that chapter... But not as effective.
Huuuge improvement over badguyavich and Helen Mirren.

Ch. 14... If the settings get any more beautiful or the atmosphere any more thick, my head is going to explode.
Yeah, I dunno how to respond to this apart from just keep playing.
You'll still love it - trust me.
Yes, I think the
lady
Although her presence was brief, she illustrated well what would happen to Nate should he put adventure foremost over personal relationship. Through letters and photos scattered about the house, you find out that the lady has slowly become alone and miserable. As she dies, there is no one to help her or tell her that she was loved.

You'll see what happens at the end. That's all I gotta say.
Yeah. Chapter 4 is the good Left Behind execution.
I disagree.
Reading all the notes in the house and finding out how the old woman had ruined her marriage with her obsession for adventure really tied in to the main themes of the game.

For real. Embarassing other devs with this shit. 14 and 15 are just leaps and bounds more beautiful than any other game I've seen on the PS4 or Xbox One.
I just don't understand how ND is on another plane of existance when it comes to presentation.
Yeah I personally admired Ch. 16 and the side story as well.
They spent more effort modeling Drake's home than some devs do their entire game.
The most impressive aspect is how it chains everything together. It's like greatest hits of a bunch of different Uncharted setpieces. To my knowledge there's never been one in the series that long and involving.
Fairly safe to say some at Naughty Dog really loved Gone Home.

I wonder how many artists are at Naughty Dog. The amount of unique assets scattered about the 15 hour experience is just ridiculous. I really would like to know the budget of this thing compared to other AAA titles.
Or maybe it's just that they don't sleep. Either way, I appreciate the hard work.

On Chapter 18 on crushing and only ran into two rather difficult parts so far.
Right now what is killing me is the lack of ammo more than anything but most of the time it is manageable.
I am down to the last 20 treasures. As per usual Uncharted's collectibles are a fucking nightmare to collect unless you have a guide.

The treasures are even harder to find on UC4 than previous games due to the open environments and multiple paths.
I spent so much time just looking at everything in the environments. Amazing game from start to finish.
I think it might be my favorite in the series now. I appreciate the more grounded tone they took this time around.
I beat the game today. Utterly fantastic game, I just wish there were a couple more amazing set pieces.
I also would have liked a little more gun battles. The ones that were there were really well-designed, but I felt like the combat was a little too scarce for my liking. I only killed
Otherwise, fantastic presentation, graphics, story and gameplay.
No setpiece matched the greatness of chapter 11's.

621 enemies in my entire playthrough on hard. That's significantly lower than the other games.

The story and theme aspect of it is important, which is why I think it could still work redone as a cinematic, or at the very least make it a way shorter chapter. I feel like I didn't need an entire chapter devoted to hitting that point home, especially one that drags on and has sub-par dialogue imo.

My playtime is probably going to be closer to the 20 hour range because I spent two hours just zooming in on silly mundane objects.
I want to continue Chapter 17 tonight, but I'm so freaking tired...

but its hard for me to accept an Uncharted game without Nathan, Elena and Sully.

Did you play Second Son? The "evil" ending had me tears laughing at how preposterously stupid it was. They simply do not have the writers to do this game justice.
Just let it be and have The Last of Us become the next evergreen title for Sony I guess...

One of the best games I have ever played
As much as I love the gore, this has easily trumped Last Of Us for me. Absolutely incredible game. Visuals, pacing, story, characters, variety in encounters. Masterpiece

I don't want another Uncharted game. It just won't feel the same with
Drake being an old man. he had lots of greys in the epilogue meng. Sam as a main character would probably work as a DLC. I hope the DLC includes Chloe or something. I miss her.
