@TheBrandedSwordsman I’m going to play them in order 1, 2, then 3. Whether I replay 4 and LL we’ll have to see. Probably not since those are fresher in my memory. The original PS3 games are all remote enough that I want to see them again. Although it’s amazing how much I remember of the first game, even after several years.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I played 3 having heard it wasn’t the best... I really enjoyed it and I know I’m in the minority but I thought it was ‘pretty-much’ as good as two... definitely better than 1.
@colonelkilgore I’m playing UC1 now and it’s surprisingly good. I liked it the first time years ago, but I feared it wouldn’t hold up. On chapter 6 and so far it’s fantastic. Bodes well for UC2 (my previous favorite of the original trilogy).

@Th3solution I’m glad you’re enjoying it buddy, I did like it but it was definitely my least favourite of the PS3 trilogy. Two is obviously an absolute classic but don’t sleep on Three, I was so pleasantly surprised by it (may have had something to do with lowered expectations though obvs).
I had no idea uncharted 3 was considered the worst. I probably enjoyed it most (only came late to the series last year when given away on ps plus). For me, they all pretty much play the same but graphics improve over time. I thought some of the locations in 3 were the best I had seen in the series - like burning building, crashing plane and upside down cruiser. I also enjoyed encountering young(er) Sully and filling in backstory there. But hey ho, I likes what I likes. Also planning on getting round to 4 sometime soon.

@Th3solution I just finished Chapter 3 and am onto 4 now in UC4, easy so far, I am guessing the difficulty ramps up significantly once the chapters enter the teens - is it much more difficult than 2 iyo?

@TheBrandedSwordsman in regards to Horizon Zero Dawn, I was exactly the same as you, Robots not really for me although I do love Nier automata. Robot animals vs a girl with a bow n arrow in the future but acting like its primitive days definitely fubar but then it became one of my favourite ps4 games 🤣 the combat and world is great, figuring out how to bring down some of the big robots is so much fun and the story is good as well, I recommend at least trying it if you ever get the chance
@MaulTsir Thanks, I may investigate Horizon Zero Dawn although I hear Forbidden West is coming out soon for PS5, so if I end up snagging one of the consoles I may just check out the sequel on there!

I was skeptical at first at for 2 year gave it a wide birth but I was so glad I did give it a chance, the different type of weapons you can use are really fun. It was my favourite ps4 game until God Of War took that crown
@TheBrandedSwordsman I don’t recall the difficulty getting very high but I usually play on normal. But the more I think about it there are some pretty challenging combat set pieces later on, including some toward the end. I’d say maybe a smidge harder than UC2 except I think I struggled with the final fight in UC2, if I recall correctly
I'd also chime in and say that I really quite like Horizon Zero Dawn myself @TheBrandedSwordsman despite being more of a high/dark fantasy lover like yourself.
Couldn't quite say whether you'd get into it more then say Death Stranding that you seem to have bounced off as you... Know what you like.
But Horizon's a very beautiful open world game and I really enjoyed the combat and actively sought battles out, especially taking on the larger machines like the Thunderjaw or The Storm bird.
But from a gameplay perspective Horizon Zero Dawn is up their with the greats. And for me that's just enough to name it as one of my favorite games of last generation.
Careful dude, your veering dangerously close to Mr Gameplay King's territory with that little pearl-of-wisdom 🤣
Well I've been trying to decide between Uncharted 4 and Horizon ZD for my next main game as both been in my backlog trying to push their way up and get some attention for a while. So nice to read people's opinions in response to others. I suspect U4 may be a less time consuming endeavour (aiming for 100% and all trophies). Can anyone who has done both confirm this?
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@Sorteddan I havent played U4 yet but played the previous 3... and as much as I like them, I can't stress enough about how good HZD is. I think the plat took me 60-70 hours and I loved every second of it. As others have mentioned, it was my favourite PS4 exclusive until God of War came along. Its playable, its beautiful, its epic in scope, I personally liked the narrative though it seems hit-and-miss depending on who you speak to. It was my Game of the Year in 2017... yes I liked it more than Breath of the Wild.
Ha ha I actually really quite like Horizon's Sci-Fi story myself @Kidfried (Ashley Burch puts in a pretty good perfomance as Aloy and Dr. Elizabet Sobeck and the tragedy that surrounds project Zero Dawn was really quite something too) .
I... actually couldn't care less personally about the "dynamic-ness" of the open world. Never even crossed my mind in fact. It was an absolutely beautiful looking place... And I was more focused on the robots lol.
But yeah I agree the combat is great too and I really quite liked the different ways you can approach it with the various tools like the sling, the tripcaster & Ropecaster and all the bows etc.... Really good stuff with the robots having varying weakness too. Melee was a bit naff but it wasn't supposed to be the focus.
The only thing I'd like in the sequel honestly is to be able to climb things without them having to be marked with white/yellow lol 😄
