Those last couple of chapters are great for combat though and some of the boss fights are brilliant. But with so much party hopping at the end, I wish they had some system for being able to swap all materia from one character to another. It got pretty annoying manually doing it.
If you're thinking of doing a Hard run, I'd advise looking online for ways of AP boosting as you'll need plenty of top level HP and MP plus materia among other things.
@Thrillho not having ever played the original, the ending was fine for me. Sets things up really nicely for Part II. God knows when that will eventually be released!
So guys I started Uncharted last night, as I only had an hour to play something and didn't fancy a run on Returnal. I enjoyed it, it does feel a bit dated but I think it holds up quite well! Some fairly funny animations and at times the jumping feels a bit stiff and janky. But overall I honestly think it holds up well and can see myself really enjoying the game!
I love Sully, quite cheesy but that's definitely a good thing!
@colonelkilgore glad to hear it! It's definitely the sort of linear single player experience I like for sitting back and just enjoyment (not for intensity such as Returnal).
@NedStarksGhost Fantastic! The game has plenty of levity to balance out the insanity-inducing bleak world of Returnal. I adore the characters and voice acting in Uncharted. I played Drake’s Fortune earlier this year and thought it held up pretty well, but yeah, some occasional jank and I’m sure controlling Nate after playing as Selene feels like driving a schoolbus after racing around in a Ferrari.
It’s fun to experience these things through new eyes!

@RogerRoger But, but, Uncharted 2 is so much better than....
Even though I've had The Nathan Drake Collection for several years now, I never started playing it until right before the PS5 came out. I played them all back in the day, but it was still really nice getting to revisit the first two (haven't played the 3rd one again yet). You can tell they are old games both visually and gameplay wise, but their charm is still there like when they first came out.

After finishing FF7 (I'm already missing the gang ☹️), I returned to the Normandy with ME2.
I can see the difference in the framerate from the first on PS4 and it definitely plays a bit better as well but it's all about the characters and the story and the exploration of space.
I'm sure I'm going to have a really good time with this game.
@Col_McCafferty I love that when a game and it’s characters are so good that you miss them afterwards. It’s a sign of good writing and good voice acting. I find that I miss the characters most when there are several in the game rather than games with just one protagonist without a lot of other character development.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yep that's my thinking! It creates a good balance, as all things should be.......
You're dead right, going from Selene to Drake is a weird experience. Almost adds to the game to make it a bit more challenging! The voice acting though, amazing. Loved it so far.
@Jimmer-jammer I have the to play next. The score is by Austin Wintory who did Journey and a few other games. I'm not really aware of many video composers, but always look out for one of his games.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Jimmer-jammer I was gonna wait to play The Pathless as in my head it may feel a bit similar to Kena, but your enthusiasm over it has just bumped it up to playing it next after I'm finished Mafia.
A guy at work got a PS5 so we'll be swapping some games we already finished. Sounds like I'll be trying Demon's Souls soon (probably not until after visiting Ikishima though).
So guys, I've just finished the first Uncharted. Have to say I loved it, did not expect it to go the way it did in the final chapters, with the curse like thing, but it definitely was a good thing and I liked it. Can see a good foundation for The Last of Us right there anyway!
The final parts where it relies on you being good at using the cover was tricky as the controls do feel a bit old and 'janky' at certain points. Same with some of the platforming parts, at times it was hard to gauge what is a fair jump and what isn't, especially as Drake's animation for them was a bit inconsistent. All to be expected for a game that came out in the earlier days of the PS3!
Overall amazing game. Great story, voice acting, level design and variety of environments. Graphics and controls may be a bit dated, and some animations quite funny (such as Drake running upstairs) but they don't detract from the game at all.
@Voltan cool, I can't wait, starting Uncharted 2 tomorrow.
By the way, just letting you know I didn't get round to listening to your music today like I said I would, hence no comment from me on the chit chat thread, in case you were expecting one. I will do tomorrow though 100%
@NedStarksGhost
Played them all last year. The second was definitely my favourite despite the third generally being held in higher regard. Some of the set pieces and level design blew me away. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
