@TheBrandedSwordsman Awesome! Glad you liked it. I figured you would.
Do you like it better than UC4? How do you like the more openness of the gameplay?

@Th3solution I think it was almost as good as UC4, the more open gameplay was good, but not really significant enough to be incredibly noticeable throughout the game. How did you find it?

@colonelkilgore No idea, I was going to play U1 and U3 but I don't want too much of the same thing, I might give Call of Cthulhu or Virginia go for a more relaxing change of pace. You? What's next on the list?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I felt the same. I place UC4 slightly above it, but I really to revisit both games again at some point. I have fond memories of both

@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah that’s how I do it too, it’s not worth ruining something you’d really enjoy by oversaturation. I’m just mopping up the solo stuff (collectibles) on AC: Unity and fitting in some Remnant from the Ashes when my mate and I can find a time we’re both free.
I’m gonna concentrate on my PS3 backlog next week so I’m hoping to clear God of War: Ghost of Sparta, God of War 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid... and hopefully the co-op on AC: Unity.
@TraCuz- I’m embarrassed to say that no, I haven’t progressed this week. Too much distraction by my PS5 and Hitman. 😄
Maybe I’ll get it done this weekend. I’ll tag you if I do. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts though!

@Kidfried Uncharted are a series (well I’ve only played 1, 2 & 3 so far) that I never feel like playing but when I do start one I always quite enjoy it. Considering the high esteem Naughty Dog are held in, they don’t really appeal to my specific gaming tastes. That said, they can sure create compelling characters and narratives... but I just find the actual gameplay of their output (& I’m yet to play U4, U:LL & TLoU2) to be fairly run-of-the-mill.
@Th3solution Hey I don't blame you I keep having this internal conflict with myself where I love it to pieces and I don't want it to end but also I'm a bit exhausted on it and want to get rid of the colossal weight of completing it. Right now I'm on this tiring battle with an S rank Mementos target and I shudder at the thought of booting up the game.. But I'm right there at the end. Might just skip the target and continue with the Royal story content. I really wanna get it out the way so I can focus on Returnal, Mass Effect, and FF14. Looking forward to the discussion, because the ending is so good with some nice twists.
@colonelkilgore You are in a similar place to me with the Uncharted series, I've played the first 3 games but yet to start the 4th game. I've owned it for years and it is still in its cellophane, but I always find an excuse not to play the game. The latest is that I'm waiting for a PS5 update lol. I enjoyed the games but they are nowhere near my favourites or anything, and I much prefer the recent Tomb Raider games.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah very similar. I’ve only played the first of the new Tomb Raider Games (I have Rise and Shadow... as well as U4 and U:LL waiting on the shelf) and I did enjoy it. From the little experience I’ve had the new Tomb Raider games feel a little less linear to the Uncharted games, although I’ve heard that U4 and LL have more of an open-world(ish) format than the original trilogy so maybe they’ll be more to my taste. I do like Drake and Sully more than Lara as characters though.
@colonelkilgore I've always said (along with others) that Uncharted does characters and story better, whilst Tomb Raider does exploration and combat better. Which is probably why I prefer the Tomb Raider games, as like yourself I'm more of a gameplay guy.

@Kidfried yeah don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy them... and I enjoyed the Last of Us too but I just don’t hold them quite as highly as most do. Having said that, when that Uncharted music kicks in during an action set-piece, it certainly hits the spot.
@colonelkilgore Lol, so for unofficial sub genres that were inspired by a game or group of games— we’ll have Souls-like, Metroidvania, Rogue-like, Ubisoft towers, Arkham-style combat, ... trying to think of some others... 🤔
And now soon to be ‘action-archaeology’ or ‘Indy-likes’ 😂
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution@colonelkilgore I'm gonna be really boring and say there are just action adventures games. I get a bit sick of all the genres we pigeon hole games into, it gets a bit ridiculous at time.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek in fairness. Action-adventure is exactly what they are (well I’m assuming that’s what the Indy game will be too).
