Wait, do you get congratulation emails from platinuming all games or just select ones? I have three platinums currently and I got no emails from either of those. I platinum'd The Order back in mid January, Infamous Second Son in early April and Bloodborne in early May and nada. Nothing.

Keep up the good work Neil! I'm totally on board for more experiences like this.

I've gotten them from some games, but not all. Bloodborne I got one for sure. I think I got one for Second Son, Fallout 4, Gravity Rush, and Tearaway: Unfolded. Maybe Driveclub as well.
I could be wrong about what games I received a congratulations from, but I know I've gotten a few over the past couple of years.

Haven't had much time to game due to real life, but managed to reach chapter 20 yesterday (
). Excellent, excellent game and will be top contender for GOTY alongside Dark Souls 3 despite some pacing issues. The combat is the best combat ever in a TPS, and the visuals are almost always utterly mind-blowing. I can't state enough how muh super-solid and responsive controls and great combat feedback elevates the game.
The only complaint I have is the area I mentioned above, the
the very beginning of the ship graveyard, right after the exploding mummies
The only complaint I have is the area I mentioned above, the
exploding mummy caves. Annoying and quite ugly-looking, though the exit of the area was kind of cool.

Thanks for linking this, I love his last bit about the faux ludonarrative dissonance BS. It made me smile when I got the achievement and saw the name and what its requirements were.
Got my platinum yesterday. Along with Uncharted 2 and Bloodborne, it's one of the few PS games I've bothered to seek out trophies for simply because playing it was so fun that I didn't want it to stop after the first playthrough. The return of the bonus cheats makes replays so much more enjoyable.
Also,
fuck mummy bombs in crushing difficulty.
Need one trophy for platinum and I'm pretty sure it's glitched for me.
The last one I need is

Peaceful Resolution. Has anyone else had troubles with this? I've not killed anyone in either chapter and nor has Sam (to the best of my knowledge). I was spotted in chapter 13 and ran straight through and was also spotted at the end of chapter 14, reset the checkpoint and spawned at the end of the chapter back in stealth mode. Any suggestions? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of so far.

Eeeexcuse me? I have a... an embarrassingly large number of platinums and I've never once gotten an email. I want to be fake recognized for my achievement.
I don't have any advice, per se... but I just want to assure you that if Sam kills anyone, it doesn't matter. Sam killed one or two guys when I got the trophy (and I think an errant grenade from an enemy blew up another enemy) and I still got the trophy.
One thing I can say is make sure you play straight through the start of Chapter 15. My trophy didn't pop until I was walking around at the start of 15.
You have to actually get to chapter 15 for the trophy to pop.

Back up you saves to a USB/cloud and make sure you only have the one completed game save on your system, delete the rest. I just did a speed run through 13 and 14, no stealth and got the trophy.

I have just finished the game and I can say that I am very impressed with it.
Prefer it vastly to the Last of Us because I enjoy much more the adventure pulp/vibe.
As for the gameplay, in my opinion, they struck the perfect balance between exploration, narration and combat.
Gunplay feels right and the combat encounters don't overstay their welcome.
Each time I was thinking, "combat should stop, that's enough", it did and that's the big difference with the previous entries that would throw two more waves of enemies at you after this point.
I replayed a bit of the remastered first Uncharted last night and the back to back combat feels like crude design to the point of annoyance.
To me, this is Naughty Dog best work and I can't really understand people who prefer 2 over this entry. The last third of 2 with the tedious and constant fighting is a major drag. As for the story of U2 it's not as nuanced and I think characters lack depth.
In U4, I was impressed with Nadine's character who is amazingly designed and written.

This is the best thing about the game along with the top-tier combat design and mechanics. I can hardly think of a game with better pacing than this. It's absolutely perfect to me in this regard.
So make sure I only have one save file , then load up chapter select from that? I believe I have two at the mo, I can back up and delete the second easily enough.
I don't know, the top image is so dark I can hardly see shit.
Reached it or not?
Also, it's literally a night and day difference.

Yeah, just the 100% save file, then make a new save when you load up chapter 13. It might help, I had no problems after doing that.
Everyone in this game has very good genes.
Cool, will give that a try tonight. Thank you!

They did a good enough job for me to keep noticing how attractive Drake is. Then I feel weird.

Finally finished the game and loved it overall. I'd say it's my favorite of the series and can't wait to start second playthrough on crushing. I found the whole pirate themed plot fascinating and absolutely loved
. Simply brilliant.
I was mostly impressed with the amazing visuals and the stunning detailed locations. Often I just found myself breathing in the atmosphere and admiring the beautiful views. I really enjoyed the slower pace overall and loved the calmer chapters that the rest of the series were lacking
. I found only couple of the shootouts toward the end a bit frustrating but didn't get at all tired of the action this time. On the contrary I think the slower pace made the action seem more effective and intense this time. I thought the gameplay had some nice variety this time and the larger open areas felt like a breath of fresh air to the series.
Funnily enough I'd rank the series at the moment 4,3,2,1. They saved the best for last.
Still as much as I loved this The Last of Us remains my favorite Naughty Dog game. I think the more dramatic subject matter and themes make it a bit more memorable experience for me.
the Guybrush Monkey Island references

like Normal Life and Brothers Drake
Really liked the ending and it actually took me by a surprise. Really liked how you were able to explore their new house and see glimpses of everyone's life during the years. I must say I was bit surprised that both Sam and Sully survived but really thought it was a fitting ending to the series.

Yep. I forgot to add the long gun clips, sorry. Animations in Uncharted 4 are superior to anything I have ever seen (video games), and I have played a lot of games.
ND are absolutely amazing. Check this out: https://vimeo.com/159836797
Edit: Video has quite a few potential spoilers!
Nobody comes close to this perfection imo...
The amount of animation included here just for walking is insane... the way walking is affected by what is happening around the environment, like an explosion in the distance is just sublime...
I read something that worked for me. Basically, whatever trickery you do with save files and chapter select and the like, just make sure that your kill count shows as zero when you start chapter 13. That sorted out any issues for me.
I got the trophy yesterday on my first attempt. Play til the start of Chapter 15 as it pops there. Also make sure to not be spotted. If you are, simply restart the checkpoint and try again. Thats because if you aggro, Sam will kill enemies. And some enemies might try throwing explosives and kill themselves.

I completely agree.
God damn the last 3rd of the game is bad. It really goes to dumps after
. Terribly designed levels and encounters (
) and that
left a real sour taste in my mouth. Thankfully the epilogue saved it a bit.
New Devon
enemy swarms and barely dodgeable exploding mummies
fuckin' quicktime event sword fight at the end
I started this on hard and I'm shit at shooters. Stick with it and it's fun as fuck.
I actually loved all the gunfights in N
ew Devon
The
mummies and sword fight
sword fight was a good concept but it was too QTE-esque. Anyone who shits on the final encounter in the Order 1886 but says they liked the one in Uncharted is a total hypocrite haha.... they are almost the same thing.
Bullet time + crushing is so much fun. I'm gonna do my second playthrough like that, I don't even give a fuck.

This is partially true. Sam can kill all he wants, doesn't count against you. If they kill themselves, that's on you. PowerPyx and Harry94 have guides walking you through all of it.

I think there's a check box in the settings that you have select to allow for Sony to send emails.

I loved the game but I felt Nadine's character to be a bit pointless. She didn't really add anything to the story apart from being the random merc for hire and a short boss fight early on.
It's a weird one. I read that neither Sam or the China Lake wielding enemy were allowed to kill (the latter being friendly fire), but I've also seen reports that Sam has killed plenty and the trophy still popped. So maybe you just have to get lucky with the China Lake guy and hope he doesn't blow up one of his allies. Though unfortunately no way of knowing for sure until 20 minutes later and seeing if the trophy does or does not pop..
I guess the best way to know for sure is do all three encounters in perfect stealth - that's what I'll be trying next anyway.

Finished the game yesterday. It is my favorite Uncharted game by far. It is as technically impressive as the others were when they released, but this has better mechanics and I found the plot more engaging.

What a great achievement of a piece of entertainment. From presentation to story and, IMO, gameplay ND have taken everything they've learned from the trilogy and TLOU and wrapped it up in such a wonderfully complete package!
The end really feels like an end to both this game and Nathan's story, and I will admit to some small eyegrit at the end.
Debating whether to playthrough on Hard. I played through on normal & found it nicely balanced, and I'm 50/50 on whether to bother about another trophy...more likely to play through on moderate or explorer to soak in more story...

id love for the DLC to be Cassandra returning to the island to try & re-enter the cave where Avery's ship was buried

I can't get the dolphin trophy. I find the first one no problem, like clockwork the second never shows up. Once it was up but I don't know how.
I even tried to get the third but it never appeared...

It'd be interesting if this game could have a hardcore climbing mode - with some actual risk to the traversal. Maybe some stamina or timing elements, less magnetism, fewer handholds, removed highlights and clues, needing run ups for big jumps, more swing momentum for the bigger jumps. That kind of thing.
If the shooting can be tailored for Hard and Crushing difficulties, why not make all that traversal more tense and require more of the player? Could help with some of the replayability issues.

Man I love the combat. Only thing that's missing is an RKO out of no where.
Sully looked old enough to make me feel sad when he first showed up.

To me, Uncharted 4 is the best of the series. It's not just that the graphics are better, it's the whole story - the way the characters interact and the treasure that they're going after. To me, a treasure hunt in movies/games should be about a legendary treasure; something of immeasurable wealth and the Libertalia Pirate Treasure is the largest fabled one in history. Uncharted 3 is a close second for me though, as the game's flow and set-pieces are some of the best in the series. I would almost say it's tied with Uncharted 4 to me. Uncharted 2 is next and then Uncharted 1, so I actually like them in reverse order. The Uncharted series is a rare example in my opinion, where the sequels get better as they go.
Bravo Naughty Dog, well done.
