They do come later, in the other games. If you're not feeling it absolutely move on to Uncharted 2, it's night-and-day better.

I enjoyed Uncharted 1 alright but 2 was so much more fun and did so much better that it might as well have been a different series. I have a friend who prefers 1 and I judge him very harshly for it to this day.

I don't play my PS4 much anymore, but I had switched to two fans on the rear for exhaust and three on the side for intake. Using a digital thermometer, I reduced the exhaust air temp by 7-8C. I've undone that all now, last game I played was DQBuilder like 2/3 weeks ago.

OldSenileGuy posted:I never had a PS3 so I never played any of the Uncharted games. Now I have a PS4 so I picked up the Uncharted collection and started the first one. it's worth noting that Uncharted (especially 1) isn't really supposed to be played like a cover shooter. you're supposed to be running around, shooting from the hip and finishing guys off with your fist, ducking into cover when needed to stay alive. the game rewards you for playing this way, and you'll probably enjoy it more. but if you don't, the later games in the series are better

Personally I preferred the plot beats in UC1, but the closest it comes to anything like UC2's train sequence would be the jetski parts, which.....no.

This is your regular reminder that the enemies in Uncharted are not "bullet sponges". If you shoot an unarmored man in the head with a pistol he dies instantly.

I only ever found this viable on easy mode. Fact is, Nate just dies way too quickly on Normal and higher difficulties for this to be viable. Uncharted 3, for all of the jank and unfinished plot threads it is the game in the trilogy where going melee feels viable at times and obviously 4 is such an all around improvement that you can largely stealth sections without firing a shot. Although there are the enemies later on in Uncharted 1 where running and gunning is the best way to deal with them but I seem to recall people complaining back in 2007 about them as a gimmick they didn't like.

I've said it before to you in this thread and I'll say it again, that doesn't mean poo poo when aiming in Uncharted 1 is so much inferior to how aiming feels in the sequels. And if you don't shoot them in the head, they still take too many body shots for my liking. They should take two to three body shots, not anywhere between four and six.

I never cared much for what little I played of Uncharted back in the day, but I bought the trilogy collection in some vain attempt to induce Stockholm Syndrome ahead of UC4's release. It... worked? The trick is to go for the absolutely lowest difficulty setting and just power through the atrociously bad combat encounters. That said, there's no saving Uncharted 1. UC4 is the only entry in the series I'd unreservedly call a good game.

I had no problem with the combat encounters in Uncharted. If you are close enough then yes, two or three body shots will take down an enemy. If you feel like your bullets are not doing enough damage it sounds like you are plinking them from too far away, which also addresses the other complaint about aiming. This is a game where you are supposed to be dumping your guns into people at close range and to run and gun. The things you complain about are how the system is designed to encourage this. You are not encouraged to conserve ammo, but to keep mobile so you can keep collecting more of it. The jetski stuff, I will agree on because that's pretty dire.

If so many people go through the whole game without discovering how it was intended to be played, the game is bad at communication and training.

It's literally never occurred to me that Bullets would lose damage over video game engagement ranges, and I'm always surprised when it turns out that's a feature.

Uncharted 1 tutorializes melee kills as a way to get more ammo and relies heavily on grenades to flush you out of cover. The aiming on non-scoped weapons can be bad. These should be clear signals of what to do. At what point does repeatedly dying and feeling bad when you try to play it like CoD and it feeling better when you play it like Uncharted stop being the game's fault and start being the player's

Sometimes I need games to make stuff like that very explicit because I have MGS syndrome where if a game gives me a stealth option but doesn't actually care about it I'll make the game worse by continually trying to perfect stealth it and starting over if I can't (hello dishonored).

I totally admit the possibility that I got Stockholmed by UC1 because I had all the exact same complaints when I first played it. Then I adapted and had a lot of fun with it.

Uncharted 2 is probably the best of the bunch, having played them all. I appreciated the Indiana Jones vibes I got from 1's story, which puts it at the top for me, but as a game 2 is by far the best in the series. 3 was good outside a couple of encounters I remember not enjoying (it may have also been the control lag too, I'd have to replay it) and 4 was terrific but it had way too many slow parts that'll make playing it again a chore. 2 had the best balance of the bunch - it understood that it needed to be a game first and foremost so it kept things moving along and used slow parts sparsely but effectively.

The best parts of Uncharted 4 are the slow parts, though. They're not that much to get through even on a second playthrough.

Trash Trick posted:It's funny how people form different impressions, I find attrition far more chaotic and enjoy it more since people are less incentivized to hide and peek (outside their titans) and also because you get to see every map (i think?). Every single match of Attrition ends with everyone in their titans duking it out non-stop while the AI mini titan things are dropping in blasting all over the place, it's nuts!! Attrition is growing on me but I've had the exact opposite experience. Too many people hiding out by grunts to peek out/snipers. Snipers do miserable in Bounty hunt which I appreciate. Plus it just feels like there is way too little ai in attrition. I'd like it a lot more if they were tripled. Since the focus is just on money and not getting kills I think BH gets a lot more wild (bnothing to lose when you are broke!). After playing some good rounds on attrition I think it's a fun enough mode but it feels too much like lower stakes bounty hunt to me. Nothing beats the thrill of trying to get across the map with like $1000 deposit on you. All the other modes are super bleh. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Nov 15, 2016 |

I don't know how anyone could hate the slow parts. They made the story much more entertaining than the previous games and were very fun to play. Imo UC4 had a drat near zen like balance while the other 3 were too packed with waves of enemi

UC2 and 4 are the stand-outs to me. I probably enjoyed 2 more because of the setpieces and the story/action ratio was perfect but 4 lets you stealth through stuff and gives you more play options to get through certain parts. It's also just a great bookend to the whole series. Red Faction 1 is the first FPS I ever played where I thought the game had what I came to recognize as "good gun feel." Also it had a silly but neat story and I was always a little sad that its cliffhanger never really got resolved. Probably hasn't aged well though.

Red Faction (2?) really impressed me back in the day. Really nice looking game for the time and the wall destroying mechanic was cool. I don't think I'd touch it with a 10 foot pole in tyool 2016. I was playing COD4 at my buddies house the other day and even that felt ancient now.

HGH posted:I'm not sure if it's in this game but check the options menu? There might be a switch between classic tank controls and more modernized ones? There is, but when the camera angle changes your control scheme does. Too often I've been in a cramped hall with three corners and zombies, only to have the camera change, invert my controls making me 180 on a dime and send me full tilt into a gaping maw.
