Uncharted 4 is great and I'm adoring all the Monkey Island nods.

Yes it is.

As a big fan of pizza and a huge fatass fan of poutine, I am not brave enough to find out. But my gut says no.

As if I needed more reasons to grab Uncharted 4 as soon as I'm back from this work trip.

I would try it.

I don't really like tomato sauce, so my favorite pizzas are weird once with bbq or white sauces. Like Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, which is the single crowning a achievement of humanity in the 21st century( it's still early), or BBQ Chicken Pizza, or spinach artichoke pizza. So a poutine pizza sounds right up my ally.

As someone who has only seen poutine in pictures, I have to say it looks like the proportions are all wrong and it would be gross

Mozzarella on poutine is gross as hell, which I know from experience, and the idea of cheese curds on pizza just doesn't seem like it'd work.

Come to Wisconsin. We're close enough to Canada that we at least try to do poutine right, cheese curds and all.

Cheese curds own.

Chilli sauce, sliced hot dogs, chopped pickles and onions, cheddar cheese, and drizzle of mustard for good measure. It looks really gross but it's tasty as gently caress.

There's nothing wrong with most cheese on fries (well other than the obvious) but when you put gravy into the equation it gets complicated.

I swear I've seen more references to poutine in the last month or so than my entire life.

Is this the canadian version of "bacon candy, bacon toothpaste, bacon everything" from a few years back?

No, but poutine just got imported into american cuisine last year as the fad after ghost peppers. I think.

Rather than playing DS3 or U4 like I logically should, I beat the original R&C and after determining that no I did not want to get all the trophies I've moved onto Going Commando and holy poo poo what a difference. Like I thought that for a game that is so well known for having aged badly, Ratchet and Clank had aged surprisingly well but man Going Commando like fixes 90% of the originals problems like the instant you start it up.

I don't think there's another massive jump in quality like there was from the first to second game but the sequels generally keep improving on the formula; it's great

Yeah, I've played them all before (except the multiplayer one, the tower defense one and Secret Agent Clank) and I think the slight improvements make it hard to notice after this but I was just surprised at how big the leap was. I didn't expect them to get this close to the present gameplay this early in the series.

Unless they fixed everything that was wrong with uncharted 3, that doesn't sound plausible.



Then again, some people think that MGS4 was GOTY 2008, so there's that.

Is Fallout 3 really a black sheep? Maybe among hardcore Fallout fans, but it was a huge success, to the degree that a lot of people who started with it prefer it to New Vegas (the mad fools).

Uncharted 4 is cool and does some new things with the formula. It's still an Uncharted game though and as such it all feels a little shallow to me. Like, Nathan survives so much ridiculous poo poo that the firefights and clambering never pack much of a punch for me.

I still think The Last of Us was a far more interesting game across the board.

And they're being really vocal about it too. "New Vegas ruined the fallout 3 formula"

E: The last of us scored big points with me when I realized that getting shot wasn't really something you could shrug off.
