The MP is a 10 itself. It feels so good and there's so much variety. Very balanced. One of the few games where I don't feel like a useless loner as a sniper, either.

Who watches trailers for story driven games? Most times they tell the whole story in the span of the couple minutes a trailer lasts.
Sam says "Well, well, well" when they approach a well.Then Nate remarks that he just stole it from Sully (who did it in the second chapter of UC1).

My god, you guys were not kidding about screenshots; I've been taking shots every couple of seconds.
I had a brief go earlier, and it was addictive as hell! I can see myself playing it for a very, very long time.

People who feel the opening chapters are too slow....why
This is perfectly paced.

Oh does it.
Personal opinion incoming: As much as I enjoyed the intro and everything that came after, I felt like this was a game that ended stronger then it began.

The buildup to the first real combat sequence

Chapter 11 is a perfect level for me. It has absolutely everything I want in an Uncharted level and all aspects of it are so goddamn incredible. Just... wow.

Yep. Agreed.

Photomode is busted if you've got a flashlight on and want to remove characters.

and DAMN Naughty Dog has upped their game big time in the audio department. Playing with headphones and the gun sounds are incredible.
Because I'm playing uncharted and not the order. I won't knock anyone who enjoyed it....but it is very slow.

Agreed. I'm in Chapter 12 right now and while I'm enjoying the pick up in pacing, Chapter 4 is my favorite so far. That

I can't believe this.
A new standard has been set for gaming.
All the little details... Seriously. This is magic!

Agreed on all counts. I'm sure the gameplay will pick up, but it's by far the weakest aspect of the game for me. Kinda boring.
TLOU has better weapon sounds than UC4 from what I've heard so far.

I just got to chapter 8 and Arne was right, that opening wiped the floor with The Last of Us. It's better in every single way.
I think this is true. Overall the shooting is very soft. From the sounds to the impact.

I'm not hating and I'm pretty into it (all I had to do was finally play the collection to become a fan last year), but I swear this game has started 4 times already. Just coming out of scuba, and this must be breaking a record for tutorial sections, cuts, flashbacks and stop-start. We heard you like in media res, so we put in media res in your in media res.
I'm about to log back off and go back into it, but this felt uncharacteristically ill conceived as a patchwork and I hope it just gets going from here on out. The fact I even took a break to get online instead of being glued to the screen is saying something.
edit: next part felt like another start/tutorial and had me smh, but it feels like it's reached equilibrium now. The living room was magic and it feels like it's about to roll and the mix is coming together.

Disagree completely, but I am playing exclusively with the Gold headset on and their sound profile. The weapons pack just as much OOMPH as they do in TLOU. The shooting feels basically the same, though everything is much faster and weapon sway is AWOL. I actually like getting into gun battles in UC4.

This is still a T rated game after all. TLOU went all in on the brutality. Doesn't fit Uncharted's tone.

Nope. The only segment I watched was the jeep. Didn't know nuts about the villain.

People comparing it to the order need to realize one thing. Uncharted 4 might strIke some similarities to it at the start, but they are doing so to lay the foundation for the plot. The order was literally that way the entire time and just when the plot was getting good it ended. Uncharted starts intentially this way and after chapter 7 pretty much embraces the gameplay moments.
I'm gonna be honest. Sometimes I can't even tell if I killed a guy or, on a lesser note, if he was hit.
I didn't have that problem in TLOU or past uncharted.
@slasher
So you agree it starts in a way that feels like the order. It does pick up, but that doesn't negate the slow start.
@pack
Why would gun sounds and impact affect the rating?

how do you take screen shots in photo mode? just press share button?

Exactly. If the entire game had the pacing of the first few chapters, I'd be disappointed. But I can already tell that's not going to be the case.
That has nothing to do with it. The weapon sounds and feedback are nowhere near TLOU level, and that's fine since they're different games. It's definitely improved from the other UC games but it's nothing mind-blowing. I was expecting more improvements honestly.

God damn this game is incredible looking, so much attention to detail. I can't get over how great the character models look. I've probably taken 100 screenshots over the couple hours I've played.
Alright, just got to Chapter 7. Gonna quit for the night there, I try to savor these things.
So far, so good. Honestly, I was expecting the beginning to be slower from the reviews. It isn't exactly quickly paced, but it's intriguing enough to keep it interesting and fresh. I'm hoping the game opens up relatively soon, though. It feels like it's taking it's sweet time to set everything up. There should be a tilt any minute now...any minute now.

Even so, it's not really a fair comparison. There are more
things to inspect and read
If you're comparing it to The Order, my recommendation would be to get lost in the moment a little more with Uncharted 4's slower paced early chapters. The Order was sparse. Uncharted 4 is deliberately slow paced and full of details worthy of your attention. It's Nate's last adventure and the developer is clearly using the intro's pacing to cater to fans of the series. Personally, I'm super grateful for it.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree here. The sound, vibration, hit response animations all seem the same if not better to me. The only changes I notice are lack of dismemberment/blood and overall speed boost (movement/aiming).

Just got to the Market while playing on Hard and think I'm done for the night. So far it has met my expectations can't wait to experience the rest tomorrow.

Yeah but sometimes you can just tell that it's going to make you not want to play through the game again.
It's the same way I felt about The Last of Us. Opening was too slow, so it kind of discourages me to play through it again. Not to say that I didn't like it the first time through though.

It can't be stated enough how much better the gunplay is this. Enemies actually register hits and guns feel really good. Movement is better, too
