Man, I really wish I enjoyed the story as much as you guys. I feel empty and I haven't even touched my game all day to just play it. I don't want to touch it.

I'm not gonna lie, maybe it's because I've played the past few UC games. But I've gotten a bit emotional on more then one occasion.
ND, you glorious bastards!

Dude... Damn xD I'm not sure if I'm ready for another emotional game after TLOU.
I'm sure I will as well. Drake and co. have been my favorite set of characters in years, by far.
I feel like I know those motherfuckers.

I could say the same about Uncharted 3. I felt empty after beating it. Then I realized my wallet was lighter. But that MP though whooooo
Same here. Actually cried a few times.

Yeah no idea why/how/ your expectations were not met and dissapointment set in It happens though. I went immediately back to my playthrough of Uncharted 2 after finishing 4 and man... it's super hard going back after all the improvement to the series with 4.

There are some really good tracks in the OST. But one just kicked in that was absolutely beautiful. And just implemented so, so well with the game.

How would you compare the soundtrack to the previous games?
Primethius
Banned
To be honest, I was never a fan of the previous games soundtracks. It's not that I disliked them, but I really don't remember much outside of Nates theme.
Here, the music fits the action and the scenes in particular quite well.
I am a little further than that and I am almost ready to revoke my skeptical initial impressions as well. I like the villains, and whatever the hell I just played may not be a sinking cruise ship, but holy shit was it fun and amazing to see.
The soundtrack is not awful, but it's nothing special. Background music sounds like generic Uncharted-ish music but nothing memorable.

You know, I think the same about previous soundtracks, that's why I didn't care much when Greg left (or wasn't called), I think the series has good music but nothing really outstanding. U4 might not have a great score either but from what I have listened on some behind scenes videos I'm hoping some tunes in line with what you're highlighting here.

Repaying the series... I mostly agree. The theme was the most stand out thing. Otherwise just alright action flair.

Just finished. Almost lost it at the end. Gotta gather my composure and then I'll write my final thoughts. Spoiler alert: it's a masterpiece.

Glad to hear. Outside of the main theme, I felt the music in the series was largely forgettable. I love what they did with The Last of Us, so I was hoping it would be a step up.
Damn. The hits keep coming.

You know what, I have to say, I think UC3's soundtrack is better than UC2's.
There was much more memorable tracks that I liked compared to UC2.
I love the drop at 18 secs lol

I totally agree with you on this one. I said the same a few days ago to someone who said that it wasn't very good.
So yes, UC3 is more memorable than UC2 in the soundtrack department imo.

I'm nearing the end and should have a decent write up as well to tide folks over until the review embargo.
The question I keep going back to: this or TLOU?
Ill probably have to sleep on it to be honest.

Uncharted 3 was built around the set pieces, and it showed.
UC4 feels like a labor of love with a heart and a soul and action that services its story.
About halfway through now.
Super fucking impressed.
I think that'll be a debate many have. I'm personally still in the camp that thinks that whilst LoU is a better made game compared to Uncharted 2, I still prefer the latter in terms of overall enjoyment and replay value. I think the issue with LoU, and to a greater extent games like Bloodborne, is that they're so dark, emotionally draining or at times dreary or depressing, that I'm unable to continuously enjoy them over and over. The difference with the Uncharted games is that they're a bit more adventurous, light hearted and blockbuster esque in nature, which I personally find appealing, especially with respect to offering a sense of escape.
I'm hoping Uncharted 4 sits somewhere in between Uncharted 2 and Last of Us in terms of story notes, though mostly leaning closer to Uncharted 2, where it's still a light hearted adventure and romp, but at the same time a bit more mature, nuanced and emotionally resonant.

Your expectations are good. And UC4 is no where near as draining. I had to take breaks from TLOU. UC4, I'm about to complete in two sittings.

I was just concerned they wouldn't be able to wrestle some of the pacing issues in the first third, but it all makes sense now. It is deliberate. ND know what they are doing.
I should have never doubted them.
Awesome.

This is incredible stuff. Gameplay is taken to a whole new level. That MGS quality of just wanting to replay a section over and over is in full display.

I agree with this completely. Every encounter becomes a giant puzzle. And it is thrilling, thrilling, thrilling stuff.
The grapple hook is a game changer.
The vertically and scope of the levels is epic. Think UC2 tank sequence x 3.
UC4 is definitely better than UC2. No doubt about it. The sheer effort Naughty Dog have put into this game is unbelievable. I'm still only about half way through and it's just getting better and better!
The sheer size of the environments are crazy at times. Like wow wtf size compared to any other UC game. At times it looks real, as in a weird, looks better than real life sort of way. Naughty Dog have really out done themselves.

Dat replayability.
I feel like the GAF impressions are so overwhelmingly hyperbolic that I'm setting myself up for dissapointment. Someone please tell me this game sucks.
Honestly, you won't be disappointed at all, puzzles can be a bit mind boggling but that's my only gripe tbh. Everything from the combat, sounds, voice acting, graphics, animation etc have been improved so much it just blows any other UC game away.
Literally everything about this game has been improved in just about every possible way it could be.
Edit: Like the Madagascar demo scene is just crazy big, far more expansive than what they shown. It's just FUCKING CRAZY.

This is music to my ears! The tank sequence from U2 is easily my favorite part from the entire series.
Just expect a fun game with characters you enjoy. That's what I'm doing. It's not hard to keep HYPE in check with some basic self control.

Just the size and options of the encounters is what I'm referring to. The gameplay encounters feel like that x 3.
And the platforming/exploring is amazing due to the grapple hook, with the exception of some early parts.
GOTY, I'm calling it.

It seems like the only thing I could really see someone having a difference of opinion on was... the story?? Well not even most, just one person... It seems like there's an unanimous agreement that this game's gameplay,visuals and scale are something else. Idk what to say for AKyemi but hey, someone's always going to be disappointed. Hate it had to b him.
