Uhh yeah it's saying it's going to take 9 hours to download? Is the patch necessary for single player or is it for the multiplayer?
None of the two options. There is a 5GB patch.
You don't need it to start the game.

I'm assuming you got it on digital which has the day one patch included. The retail version of the game needs the day one patch which is 5GB + 100 something MB added in yesterday.
There's a 5 gig patch.

You can play the game while downloading the patch.

I am talking specifically about the melee only encounters. It is all so sluggish. Then the rolling to dodge is just terrible. Who flat out rolls in a fist fight, just make thst button block or something. You roll away then press square and warp back to the enemy and hit them until they hit you back. No finesse, timing or thought needed. The double power bomb was cool though.

UPS tried to delivery the game and no one was home!!!! Not like dis
Yep I feel like the melee is a step back from UC3, or I'm just missing something with the dodge.
Really disapointed in this.

Unlikely that it's the game...probably ps4 dying unfortunately.

I mean, theres only a couple of encounters like that so Im not in favor of ruining the flow of combat overall for one encounter.
Thank god countering was taken out. Wouldnt fit the games flow at all.

Gonna assume I'm near the end since the game is throwing ridiculous amounts of enemies at me with rocket launchers, snipers etc. Why do naughty dog always do this...

My thoughts so far (at chapter 14):
Its a massive improvement over the disappointment that was 3. Its still got the great feel of an adventure, while still over the top, not as over the top as 3 was. More in line with 2. The pacing feels better- not constant streaks of combat which would normally tire me out. There are some extensive fights, but the combat zones have so much variety, you can go about each fight in so many ways. The combat feels a lot better, i like the customization options available. The plot so far is focused on relationships like 3, but is not as spread out. 3 felt like the writers didnt care- it was all over the place and many things just felt dropped. 4 is sort of returning to some themes that were brought up in 3, but feel more thought out. The graphics are spectacular, but there were a few moments that pulled me out. One part had a heavy downpour and there was this weird texture overlay simulating rain contact- i dont know. It distracted me.
Other than that and the game freezing on me once, its been fantastic so far. On par with 2 so far.

so can you guys agree that Uc4 > order 1886 graphically? i know some of y'all had your doubts before the game was out
Played some multiplayer while taking a break, holy shit is this fun. I played very little during the beta, so this is still relatively new to me. Love how much better the gunplay feels compared to the other UC multiplayer outings. Trials make me want some co-op or even just bot-play pretty damn bad right now though. Normal TDM has been pretty alright so far at least.

Why do people pretend a game throwing a bunch of the toughest enemies at the game is some ND specific thing. Thats like action game design 101.
especially from a man with a Bayonetta avatar of all games...

Whew my game got here on time. Put the disk in and im like 40gig short of the required space. My ps4 dont even have that many games. Then download patch but played anyway while downloading it.
My favorite looking ps4 game that I've played. Its not the most realistic (I don't think they're striving to be it) but the art style is just right. Lighting is phenomenal too. Shit even the physics of small and soft objects.

I dont know. Its hard to say, because most of the time i was distracted by how dull The Order was to really appreciate its graphical fidelity.

There is a patch? I started without it. Guess I need to install it when I get home. No way I downloaded a 5GB patch and installed in the 2 minutes it took to start the game.

Looks like they know about it, something to do with launch ps4s. No work around. Looks like they had the same problem with the beta.
Sony can blow me if they think I'm buying a new ps4. I play destiny and many other games every day and have no issues.
I don't know man, when The Order came out I was like "yea obviously it's pretty but look at the shoe box scale, look at the static and dead world, look at the lack of physics" (it's almost a David Cage game with guns and some basic AI, the sacrifices were clear and loud (and I didn't even mention the cut screen).
Now I play U4 and I'm in owe, even if you can nitpick some minor stuff, you see it and ask what is the trick? where are the big sacrifices they needed to do for those visuals? the overall package is a technical masterpiece, I don't need to say much other than go read DF's analysis, they said it all.

One last ride.
What do you find disappointing about it? Imo it's up there as among the best combat in the genre. The fluidity, polish, level of freedom and dynamism is pretty much unmatched. It combines raw action, stealth, melee and platforming together in combat, better than any other shooter, and the animations, cover system and aiming are also all top notch. The way you can just easily jump, climb or swing about, to constantly gain advantage, flank, get in to stealth etc, completely effortlessly and with immediacy, can be truly liberating. The incredible level design and quality AI also help encounters.
Granted not all of the combat segments allow for full combat gameplay diversity, but several certainly do.
I simply cannot believe the amount of bitching about day 1 patches. Is this your first console game of this generation? It boils down to 2 simple things. 1) play the game without the patch 2) Plan ahead.
I knew when I brought my game home I would have to wait a bit. Just like literally every other console game this gen. Popped the game in first thing, then did some work around the house while it downloaded.

That's not a must. A must is if a game doesn't start without it. That is not the case here.
If you want to argue that the patch is a very good idea I'm all onboard, I responded to the post that said the patch is required for play.
Thought Sam looking a lot like a young Nate was pretty awesome. I really enjoyed that whole chapter.

Yea, just got to chapter 8 myself and I'm just standing here in this field completely in awe. But it's not just the graphics that are unreal, so far this feels like the most cinematic game I've ever played. Just epic stuff and the story hasn't even kicked into full gear yet. I'm just floored on every level. I haven't felt like this since...well, Uncharted 2.

Nope. I literally have zero art skill in terms or creating anything and have never used anything other than Corel Paint Shop Pro x___.
I can just meld images together at best.

What's your estimated download time? I have nine hours.
It's a 5 gigabyte patch you have to download from Sony's shitty servers. I think people are allowed to complain a bit.
You probably don't have enough HD space. Delete some unwanted stuff.

The fucking graphics in chapter 14, next next level stuff.
