Yeah, but now we will get endless TLOU vs Uncharted 4 debates.
Can we not argue what is second best then? I'm disappointed.
Seriously though, different strokes for different folks but hopefully Uncharted 4 takes the series to a new level. My hype levels are ridiculous, I cannot wait to get my hands on the game.

But first, we will get Uncharted 4 Vs Quantum Break Vs Rise of the Tomb Raider.

UC2 is always cited to be one of the best improvements over a prequel, and while I agree that's true, UC4 looks to be just a large a leap if not bigger. Radically improved visuals, actual gunplay, stealth that looks to have been rebuilt from the ground up, totally new systems with stuff like grappling and vehicles, etc. UC2 was an intense refinement of an existing formula, while UC4 looks like an actual generational leap over previous games. Like they gutted everything down to the core framework, then rebuilt it 1000x better.
Eh, end game of UC2 was never that terrible for me. It gets way easier once you figure out the purple brehs' crossbows are also super effective against them. Kill one, pick up the crossbow, and mow the rest down.
lol exactly, even early players of U4 are disagreeing on this, they all say it's the best in the series but one think it's better than TLOU while the other think TLOU is still the king.
I guess TLOU has that emotional impact that is hard to beat for some people, it doesn't matter what U4 will do.

"I mean it was really good...but man, nothing was as good as TLOU's second half tho"

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
I know but even the boss fight was not good in my opinion. The entire level just felt out of place for me.

I'm sure we'll still have those special snowflakes who will STILL proclaim UC1 as king.
"There's just.. guys there's just something magical about that island from UC1. Better gameplay, story, graphics, characters and presentation doesn't change a thing for me."

"I just...REALLY like Eddy Raja, man. Like, you don't understand, I have a custom made figure of Eddy Raja. This is deadly serious. I don't care if all the UC games do everything better, one game has Eddy Raja and the others dont"
Left Behind tho
I actually expect to still prefer TLOU over any UC game, if Im being real. That 1080p/60fps version on PS4 was :wow:

I feel like I'll take the easy way out and say that Uncharted 4 is a better game but a less impactful experience.
Will this even be a valid answer?

They're still pretty different games tho, it's like choosing between dessert and dinner.
Ha I love those, they can't point even one thing that U1 is doing better other than "it had a sense of place you know? it was full of soul and magic, Eddie Raja too man", you can't answer those reasons.

Do we know when the review embargo is? Or when they shipped review copies?

The novelty argument
"Yeah Dark Souls 1 is kinda slow and kinda ugly and the second half is pretty flabby and the Covenants are broken and etc etc, but you can never get that novelty of playing a Souls game for the first time back!"
The gameplay was the part that dragged the game down for me. The rest of the game is fantastic but the gameplay was just a chore to play with. I'm happy that people enjoyed it but for I hated it and every time I see more of it I hate it even more.
Anyway this isn't the place to discuss this so I'll stop here.
Reviewers have been playing for a couple of days
Countdown to embargo

I mean I know what they mean and i can understand the "Feeling" argument as you can't just argue against that but UC2 is just too much.
The ONLY thing I don't like about UC2 is honestly the Ice Caves with Tenzin. I thought that part of the game was meh. I thought the end of the game was fantastic. I recently beat the remaster again and I was smiling the whole time. UC1 was very campy and comfortable. I would've' preferred if they revamped the mechanics of UC1 to make it feel like UC2.

UC2's ice caves look soooooo good
Like the graphics are actually good enough to hand wave whatever complaints one might have

Nooooo!! ice cave and Tenzin are so goooood!!! :O
(I didn't like the endless military action at the end, and that lame boss battle).

I need more impressions!
That's probably my favorite part of the game, from the start of the train, till Tenzin's village battle. Loved every minute of it.

Nah Tenzin was cool, I just felt the caves part went on far too long and climbing those big ass things were meh. I also felt like the Ice Caves were the worst map in the MP too.

I always forget why the Ice Cave thing with Tenzin even happens, like what was the narrative justification for it besides wanting to shift gears from the all the action in the war-torn town/train

I loved the Ice Cave in UC2. When I beat UC2 in the remaster recently on crushing, my biggest complaint was the boss fight at the end and the end section entirely.
I didn't even really struggle too much with it. But that entire section with the supernatural enemies followed by the boss brings the pacing to a halt.
It sucks because the area is so beautiful but the design of the enemies jusy constricts the weapons you can use to a handful if you want to be remotely successful in killing them.
Though, the fight with the regular enemies in the water way with the thunder is just absolutely fantastic.

Well, the temple was the worst part of the caves, I'll give you that.

the old dude in the village wanted Drake to see something or other for himself (maybe the dead nazis or whatever) to legitimize the threat because before that Drake was going to give up or something idk really but man those graphics were good

Schaffer wanted to convince Nate to go after Lazarevic, so he sent him to the caves so he could see for himself what happened with his crew and what the Cintamani stone is capable of.

Ice Caves in Uncharted 2 is one of my favorite parts of the game. The atmosphere, the Tenzin/Drake relationship, the atmosphere, the low key pacing after the intensity of the train, some kinda fun platforming, the yeti scare, the atmosphere....

Drake is probably always down to go into some dangerous cave with some guide he doesn't understand, no matter the circumstance. Shit's like cat nip to him

For those wanting some pics. What areas were demo'd? I didn't watch much media.
Honestly I'm feeling very very confident that any Uncharted fan is gonna love it by now, we heard enough impressions from various people, there is an absolute consensus it is the best in the series, it's always fun to hear more praising but I think the pic is pretty clear, love Uncharted? you gonna loooove this.
Madagascar City - Jeep chase set piece with Sully
Africa- Driving the terrain with Sam and Sully
Jungle- don't remember where, if you didn't see the first PSX demo than taking pics is risky, as there are other Jungle like areas according to the story trailer.

Madagascar (Start of chapter 10 - Safari and 1st encounter, the one with the sniper on the tower)
Madagascar (City chase)

Sam: "you got a better plan!?"
Sully: *sighs* "what do you think Nate"

Sadly I'm not that far yet.
Those guys are probably not gonna pay 90-150£ in order to play an early copy, so we will have to wait until launch and probably after for those.
