If you don't like climbing, Uncharted may not be the series for you. Also: Also, my preferred playstyle in any game that allows it is to try to ghost, but if I get detected, to go loud with as many explosions as possible, so U4's combat fit me like a glove

The combat in UC4 is fantastic. Goons are always looking for something to hate in that series.

Uncharted 4 does tend to have more climbing and platforming than the other games in the series though. I liked it and probably think it's the best in the series but those who want non-stop action generally prefer Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 was in a weird position where it went through numerous rewrites do to circumstances beyond the writer's control. Uncharted 1 is a jank fest though and that's even including the Uncharted Collection remaster which tweaks the game controls to be closer to 2 and 3.

You're talking about the active combat mechanics. The "new" stealth mechanic was mostly increasing your information. In UC1 you could get spotted by one guy you didn't know about and suddenly waves of heavily armed goons show up and actively hunt you down. In 4 you can be aware of enemy activity while they're offscreen or behind a wall, which lets you plan things out way better. They also added (actually in 3) a suspicion phase to the AI where a brief glimpse triggers that one guy investigating you but not the full firefight, and in 4 they upgraded this to a visual indicator too so you can tell if you're exposed from the back. haveblue fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jul 20, 2016 |

I like the shooting and combat in Uncharted, it just gets ridiculously stupid at times with enemies slamming grenades and armored goons shrugging off headshots like nothing.

UC4 was the first game that I really spent a lot of time messing around with the photo mode, there are a lot of breathtaking landscapes and vistas in that game! And yeah, the gameplay loop is definitely basically the same as the earlier games, but they've given you more tools to really work it (marking enemies, the awareness bubbles, way more grass stealth areas). Like in UC2 I didn't really feel like I could use stealth except in the places where the game was explicitly setting it up for me, like when when a segment started with me behind a wall and there was a guy patrolling right in front of me

UC2 was one of the first games I got for PS3 and it absolutely blew me away, especially coming from 360 gaming. UC3 was good. I got UC1 free in a dual shock bundle from gamestop and flipped it for GoW collection after about an hour of play.

I think 4 is the first game that potentially allows you to actually clear areas of enemies using entirely stealth for at least a small number of sections. In the previous Uncharted games, stealth was just a way to thin out enemy groups but you'd still almost always end up in a firefight at some point.

I played them on release and every Uncharted has had a sequence that really impressed me. The sub and really the graphics in general in 1, the insane train sequence in 2 (and the village tank sequence), the cruise ship in 3, the drag->car chase in 4. TLOU is great in its own way but I do like the big setpieces Uncharted comes up with.

The combat in UC4 really felt like an actioney version of TLOU to me in that you'd go, stealth some guys, gently caress up the stealth approach and go in guns blazing. Once stealth fails the map is littered with different options and a well played segment should look like a badass action movie.Morby posted:I've seen Journey physical releases, though. Usually it's bundled with something else, but they do exist. A ton of digital games are getting physical releases lately. I wouldn't be surprise if Abzu got one but it could be months before it pops up.

If you take the characters out of the frame and show people pictures you took UC4 90% of the time their reaction will be "whoa where is that?! I didn't know you went on vacation."

Furichat: the post-credits boss can gently caress right off. Who thought making your controls all slow and lovely and taking away your sword was a fun idea?

If you mean "better resolution for screenshots" to mean a photo mode with a proper renderer like Gran Turismo had on PS2 though, hell yes.

One way to get the photos without bothering with usb is to message one to a friend, then save it on your phone via the ps messages app.

It's really not any different. The only serious departures are that it's strictly long-range (just like the "real" final boss was strictly melee, since The Beat is pretty much a joke boss), and you have a slightly more sustained charge shot to cut through The Star's sturdier projectiles. Your dash still works, your parry still works, your movement isn't slowed. The fight is fine.
