Uncharted 4: A Thief's End |OT| You're gonna miss this ass

Nah, I actually prefer the T1s as well for games. As you said they have slightly better "gaming" bass and the random treble spike on the HD800s can be an absolute killer in some games. I don't think the soundstage superiority of the HD800s makes a huge difference for games and I prefer the Beyer's left to right imaging anyway. The reason I use the HD800s is because of their vastly superior comfort which is big when you have 1 hour plus sessions. Though to be honest my first preference for games is using my speakers since there's really no comparison for soundstage and bass.
For a game like Uncharted you definitely feel the difference in bass for the set pieces, though headphones are better for the quieter more intimate scenes.

OMG at that tower set piece and

I also felt dumb there, the puzzle is so simple I was overthinking, you can just press all the buttons until you'd get the right one, there is no punishment other than your humiliation (which makes it a really pointless puzzle, what is the idea if anyone can solve it by just pressing everything?), but if you want the answer, just look for a one button with both of the signs.
I thought you need to press a button for each symbol so I skipped the correct brick.

Just got up to chapter 8.
Fuck that is some nice grass.
I'm glad they mixed up the pacing, tone and the structure a bit with this entry. I don't think I would've been too happy with uncharted 2-3, not after MGS V. The shooting still isn't amazing, nor the stealth, and certainly not the traversal but all three workin in tangent, combined with the more open level design really made chapter 7 a lot of fun. I hope there's more parts like that coming up.
And lol why does drake have a flip phone.

Finished the first 4 chapters. What a slow start...
A great start.

Agreed. I loved the character moments in all the other Uncharted games, so I was more than happy to have a few chapters focus on that. Hell, I think Chapter 4 might be my favorite chapter in the series.

Yeah, Chapter 4 is GLORIOUS.
Yes. She is. I think it was stated to by Druckmann when she was first revealed

Lol I had the same issue . Thought it was 2 seperate buttons , kept pressing the right first one and nothing .
Eventually just started pressing all of them . Felt so dumb afterwards .

I'm among those that Amazon screwed over, so I won't get it until today. They gave me a free month extension to my Prime, so I guess there's that. And to be fair, I'm not even sure I will really be able to dig in until this weekend. Still... it's painful waiting reading the reviews and the general impressions here. Can't wait!

As I said, interested to see how the game feels when it opens up. But I've already sunk in a couple of hours, and first impressions do matter.
Wat. Holy hell that is worth the delay.

PSone and Crash Bandicoot
Played through the Prologue last night, holy shit.. Almost called out, but decided to just take a half day vacation and spend the afternoon playing. So far liking the movement and fighting, and what little gunplay that has been thrown at me. As much as I liked the opening still didn't have the impact that TLoU had, but still up there as one of the best.
I'm South African and it didn't really sound South African to me.

Exactly what happened to me
And I'm alright at puzzle games, finished Portal 1+2, The Swapper and other puzzle games without (too many) problems, but this dumb puzzle was so simple and obvious that I managed to give it more credit and overthinking it.
I really felt dumb when I realized the correct button.

I finished the game. Took me just under 14 hours. Wow.
The perfect send off to a bunch of characters I've grown to love over the years. I think the ending itself might surprise quite a few people but I won't elaborate. As a big fan I was satisfied with the direction they took.
The game itself was for my money near perfection within the genre. The shooting felt fantastic, the action was used far more sparingly than in other games so had more impact when it hit.
There was far more exploring to be done in this game thanks to vehicular segments, better traversal and larger hub like environments.
Platforming felt better than ever thanks to the grapple hook and pick.
Visual and audio design was some of the best I've seen in any game, how this runs so well on PS4 is beyond belief.
Characters and story are better than ever before. It was funny, sad, thrilling and surprising throughout.
Set pieces were also very impressive and good to see they were built around the game this time and not shoehorned in. They always felt very natural and as a result were more believable and exciting.
I did find the game had a few pacing issues in its second half, chapters that went on a little long or areas where the characters and story took a back seat to exploration which hurt the feeling of progression. Aside from that I honestly have very few issues. The game is near perfect and packed with fan service.
Fantastic job ND. Sad to say goodbye to one of my favourite franchises, but at least it went out on a high.

The banter in that chapter was so good.

Match the symbols on the paper to the same ones on the wall. You'll see they have a value next to them. One is X, which means 10. If you can't get it from there let me know.
Press circle.
I'm loving the combat too. There's so much more to do than just cover shooting. You can regain stealth, run and gun, climb to vantage points, and perform some absolutely amazing rope swinging stunts. There are so many ways to tackle a combat scenario.

The only time it's really bothered me so far is when you're in a fist fighting brawl because everything is moving so fast.

I wouldn't say it's too slow, I find the pacing just right. I mean you have the action right at the start, then it slows a bit for story but it picks back up again. I've just got to Chapter 6 and I found 1-5 a great little mix of action and story.

I notice it any time I pan the camera. At least it accelerates, but at top speed it just reminds me of FF Type-0 HD
Exactly, I feel like people who complain about a slow start, at least on their first playthrough (I can understand how for some it might be a little slow when playing it again), maybe don't like this style of cinematic game, that they want a more pure TPS with non stop action.
Like there is enough platforming, shooting, and slow exploration parts in those chapters, It's not a David Cage game, but it seems like they want a non stop roller coaster ride with things explode every 2 seconds, I much rather have the pacing it currently has.
I think it's a wonky deadzone or something. I have problems with accuracy too.
Made it to the start of Chapter 9 last night. Great so far. Exploration and stealth has been about the best things from a gameplay perspective. The grappling hook and sliding mechanics, especially in
have been fantastic. Story up to this point has been much slower than I was expecting, but it's been nice to
Puzzles and encounters feel better designed, though I'm still considering dropping down to Normal as it feels like I died a bit too much in the early encounters. I must just suck at the gun combat lol.

relive the past and get to know Sam and Nate's relationship a bit while progressing towards whatever Avery has hidden away from the world.
I ended up working a little later than usual yesterday, but got home around 7 with my copy and excited to play. Never mind, day one patch. Sad but completely expected.
However, I didn't expect the 2+ hour load time over LAN that it took. I'm guessing 2+ because I fell asleep while I waited. Woke up around midnight. I could have started playing then but I knew I'd be going until work this morning. It took all my self-restraint to make myself wait until after work today. It's going to be a long day...

Hmmm, maybe so. It's weird, I just can't nail in a shot where I want, but MP feels so good.
