Same as mine. I was doing great until Quantum Break dropped the ball, I had such a weird high confidence in that game lol

I met the guy. I have really high doubts they weren't stolen

Why are you saying this?

Sunway,
That being said, to enter the launch event on the 9th, you gotta get a pre-order UC4 from a participating retailer to get the entry ticket. 10th onwards is open to public.

Guy local to me is selling his copy for £90 although admits buying from CEX which means he's flipping it for profit. Tempting but really I think I can wait another week now.
Ugh, hype deflated. I'm starting my college life on Thursday and my campus is in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. Unless I'm mistaken, that's not too far from Sunway Pyramid. But since I need to pre order, meh. I'll just get a copy after the launch event. I suppose you're going?

Yeah.
I wanted to go digital at first, but I wanna see how big of a marketing campaign this is.
It's not as if I'm not dreading it... I live an hour away from Sunway lol... Driving back for an hour at midnight is not my idea of safety.
Lucky you. I'm so jelly. Perhaps I'll go after the launch event. The marketing for this game is crazy in Malaysia. I've never seen a AAA game being this big.
Edit: Haha, have a safe trip!
I'll see if anyone in my course wants to attend as well. I'm taking up Game Development, so there's bound to be a few who are interested.

i'm gonna start on HARD first. Just so it'll last longer.
I'm crying
Now you have had some time to think about it, do you still rate it above TLOU?
I still rate the game so much still better IMO,
had an interesting chat with my buddy about it.
This game is really a sandbox for you to create awesome moments,
he stayed back more and found the pace a bit meh on normal,
I on the other hand was swinging round on a swing rope with a machine gun taking names left and right....
The game offers a sandbox for you to pull off some ridiculous things, GO BALLS OUT and that way it feels more uncharted it feels like atm.
Super interesting I think these reviews going to be awesome.

Impressions sound amazing except for playing 4 hours and there being almost no action. Think about the replays god damn
Pretty sure there'll be chapter selection.
FYI for replays you can actually choose where you start from via the menu... also the actual prologue bulk of non action isn't required to play for the trophies.
Keep calm, you fancy clown.

Well, never mind then lol
I'll take slower paced "replays" over shitty waves successions that never end like Uncharted and TLOU trademarks awful pacing for most of their chapters.
:/
I want it to feel like an organic adventure, if you want gunfights every two seconds then go play the multiplayer.
Cool, thanks.
This sounds fantastic.
This. Hard worked with TLOU, but Uncharted games were already BS sometimes on normal against those waves of enemies let alone hard. and I'm not even talking about teh armored gank squads.

I never replay games. Never replayed any UC game. Only replayed my absolute favorite games. In the last years I think i've only replayed Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider Reboot, Infamous SS, GTA5 remastered, and TLOU remastered halfway through.
With Uncharted 4 I already want to replay it while I'm actually playing through it for the first time. Its just so much fun.

There's an extraordinarily wide margin between wanting some action in a 4 hour stretch and wanting gunfights every 2 seconds lol. I want good pacing, I'm not much of a multiplayer guy.
I messaged the guy on EBay he said the stolen copies were the UK versions with English language on the cover. He said he bought these from his friend who was going to sell these in South America but won't be making the trip. He implied they weren't stolen. I sent him another pm asking if his friend bought these from a trusted mom and pop or major store and I am yet to get a response.
Can anyone who dealt with this version or this guy confirm these are not one of the stolen copies?

Have any of the early impression folks played it on Hard? How is it?
My copy arrives today and I'm debating between Normal and Hard.

I can't believe this game is EXACTLY what I was hoping for (from the impressions so far)
I wanted a slower run in so that I could get a feel for the characters. I wanted a more grounded experience in order to give me a true sense of drama and peril. I wanted TLOU levels of production and animations. I wanted THOSE GRAPHICS.
Thanks you ND.

Those are among my favorite moments in ND games. Which is why I'm #TeamSummer in TLOU.
I just enjoy their world building and pace setting so much. They can be annoying for replays though, I agree.

Don't get me wrong, I love that stuff too (although 4 hours of it sounded like it was pushing it) but I was purely thinking about replays where I find that the opening of the games become a little tedious.
But thankfully it seems I needn't have worried in the first place.
Early summer was a bit of a slog though. The whole transporting Ellie for guns plot wasn't that interesting and gameplay wise it was fairly dull. The game gets good at Bill's Town, when you see Ellie and Joel's relationship start to grow.
Left Behind on the other hand. That is no action gameplay done right.

Have no stores other than the one CEX broken the date then? I was kinda hoping one or two would follow suit. No such thing as an mom and pops game store left here in the town I'm in and hasn't been for years. The wait is killing me

Yeah I'm hoping for more stuff like the Halloween store. Like you can spend a ton of time in there interacting with all the awesome stuff but on subsequent playthroughs you can spend as much or as little time in there as you want.

No, the tracking hasn't updated since last night around 6 p.m. when it arrived at the origin sorting facility. It says it's on its way to the destination. It's supposed to be here by 12 (2 hours and 33 minutes!) and USPS is notoriously spotty with updating tracking info, so I'm not worried yet.

I played on normal and you got to have a lot of fun on it.
I found when trying a couple chapters out on hard it becomes a lot slower paces as you get taken out fairly damn quickly. I would play normal then go back on crushing.
RIP that assignment
Yup. Blizzard is currently delivering most of us from evil (reading spoilers, mostly).

If you haven't bought it yet it's down to $100 again.

I still enjoyed it... It was a nice setback after the intense intro. It felt like the calm before the storm, and it was also great to absorb the world ND built. They did a fine job introducing it to us, imo.
I just thought that moment between the intro and Bill's town really set the pace for me.
Are you not concerned this could be one of the stolen copies. If not why?
Mine just arrived at the local facility about 22 minutes away from me. I can smell the packed nitrogen in the case from here.

I'm sure you can power through it in about an hour. I took my sweet ass time taking pics and stuff. BTW when I say action I mean traditional Uncharted gun fights, you do all sorts of other stuff.

Had to stop watching after a few min. Player is just so bad. The DS4 graphic to cover use PSN names is funny, though.

Thanks for the impressions. Normal it is.

Seems decent enough. I can't be stupid in firefights. The screen goes black and white pretty fast which actually pisses me off cause it's so beautiful I want to see it colorful all the time. I've died quite a few times though admittedly sometimes on purpose just to play the section again. There was one legitimite tough section.
