Anybody able to pull this kick move? I played through the whole game without triggering it at all.

For real, but I'm mostly delighting in the fact that it's possible to go back into stealth and otherwise distract enemies/have them lose you. As someone who prefers a mix of stealth and shooting, getting to switch back and forth basically at-will is amazing even if it kinda removes a lot of difficulty.

The opening was great! Prepared to sink my teeth into the rest of the campaign later today.

Jesus Christ. I swear to God that there's no game that I've tried on my rig at 4k that looks as clean and as good as Uncharted 4. This is the best looking game ever, period.

Gunplay puts the last 3 entries to shame and omg the melee in this is god-tier. This game feels like spielberg epic-esque.

Is it possible to hold a guard hostage like you can do in MGSV?

Finished the game. (Tagged the impressions about ending even if there are no spoilers)
This is, without a doubt, the best Uncharted in the series. It is the second best Naughty Dog game as well.
The game is insane. I mean really. The technical wizardary that is going on during some of the more mind blowing set pieces is nothing short of amazing. I mean seriously, if you guys think that after seeing PSX, E3 and the Magascar section, you have seen everything, it isn't even close. Some of the set pieces that are in the game blow Uncharted 2-3 out of the water. I was a bit disappointed to hear from the early impressions that there aren't that many "bombastic" set pieces but holy crap, some of the dynamic sequences are out of this world. Naughty Dog does it again!
I do have some minor qualms though, which doesn't make it a perfect game for me. Firstly, the beginning is a bit slow and it takes a few chapters until it starts properly. Secondly, the ending was kind of a let down to me.
Leaving aside the slow opening and the ending, the game has the perfect pacing and the best gameplay in a third person shooter. It dwarfs the recent games like ROTR and QB (I played both) and I feel it is hard to go back to them after playing UC4.
The story in TLOU was exceptional. Never before I have seen such story writing in a video game. Unfortunately can't say the same for Uncharted 4. But again, The Last of Us was just something extraordinary and had everything going for it. Uncharted 4 had a troubled history with the juggling between directors and it is a remarkable achievement that Naughty Dog has managed to turn around the game into something that is easily a masterpiece, and well deserving of the "game of the generation" label.

But it is typical hollywood ending so maybe others will enjoy it. I dunno.

Agreed, it really builds up nicely. Also I can't believe what I'm seeing!!! This game is gorgeous!!! I'm only in chapter 6 so far.

Holy hell...I played the first 5 chapters last night and this game is unbelievable.
And this is from someone who played but didn't particularly like the first 3.
Its going to take something special to beat this for GOTY

Anybody able to pull this kick move? I played through the whole game without triggering it at all.
The melee combat is all dynamic. I did this move too, but no idea how to manually execute it.

Chapter 4 wow!!
It actually reminded me of UC3 which also took awhile to actually give you a gun.
Though hopefully this game doesn't take a giant shit on its own face like that did.

It has English and a ton of other languages. I have a Region 2 copy but not sure if Spain gets its own print and disc version.
Huh? I did the kick move multiple times. But like I said, it is dynamic so not sure which sequence triggers it. The surrounding environment plays a part too.
Play with headphones!!! Audio technica M50x, OMG I love the sound staging.

Thanks. It gets its own print yeah... called Uncharted4: El desenlace del ladrón. Do you think it supports english?
The intro chapters are really slow and long but ultimately necessary. I found myself wanting to get to some action already, but the way they flesh out all the new characters and set the mood and tone is perfect and warranted.
Frankly if it wasn't so slow in the beginning there would probably be a ton of complaints about underdeveloped characters and Sam feeling shoehorned in.

I play the game way too safe by taking cover most of the time+ stealth

I doubt they will press another disc especially for Spain just to strip other languages from a region 2 copy. I am sure that your copy will have the same version as the rest of the EU region.
Higher dynamic range means volume reaches higher and lower volumes. If your system (and your wife / neighbours) can handle those, go for it.
At night, i found it's better to use reduced dynamic range.

That is the best part man. I mean we can go stealth, go all psycho or just skip the encounters all together. We have complete freedom in how to tackle some of the combat encounters.I meant That I couldn't don't not even close

On chapter 8 now. The opening is so great. Best set up of the series.

Finished it on moderate in 16 hours with quite a bit of exploration.
Don't really wanna type a wall of text here right now, but here's what I thought. This is the sort of game that pushes the industry forward and raises the bar for everyone else, while also raising expectations to ridiculous levels.
Uncharted 4 is an absolute triumph in emotional storytelling, action gameplay, and cinematic presentation.

I am greek, i have an EU copy and the game has at least 10 languages, including Spanish
EDIT:
We also have greek print called Uncharted 4: Το τέλος ενός κλέφτη but the retailer that I got it here, gave me a copy with the english title and back cover.
So maybe it depends?I don't know

Let's you choose language when you boot the game.
I don't agree that the third act was bloated, or at least in my first play through it never felt that way. Then again I did break mine up in to multiple play sessions. Perhaps if I'd completed the game in just one or two sittings I'd have felt differently. If anything I thought the third act was pretty action packed and full of great set piece moments and new locations. It's the beginning I thought was the slowest in the game, but even then it's not Last of Us slow. There's still lots of entertaining and energetic things sprinkled in.

I think Hard UC4 > Crushing on Uncharted 1-3 in terms of difficulties.

Yeah, I love that aspect as well. Really can't wrap my head around the "slow to start" criticism that the Kotaku review leveled at it.
I find this really interesting, could you elaborate further? Because the first third of the game felt very much like Uncharted 2 and 3 to me, without much in the way of new mechanics or ideas. You stealthed, you shot, you climbed, exactly like you already did in U2, just a whole lot prettier. At least that was my experience.
I think this is what people tend to misunderstand about the "slow to start" criticism. It's not about the lack of shooting, not at all. However, it takes
10
A little later in the game they actually start delivering, but until that point it's very much a by-the-numbers affair.

Is there anywhere we can post screenshots? I'm assuming the spoiler thread? I fucking love taking screenshots in Naughty Dog games so much. I'll literally spend 30 minutes blowing through a level, and then another 30 minutes standing on some cliffs trying to get the angle and tilt and saturation just right for a nice shot.

The problem with Uncharted 4 is that it is too good
