The only thing that carries over from the demos is an item called the Dirty Coin. No one knows what it does yet.

YOU SAY MY POSTS ARE THE RAVINGS OF THE DUMBEST PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH BUT YOU YOURSELF ARE READING THEM. CURIOUS!
I can see liking UC1 over 4 as that is before the story goes so far up it's rear end that it forgets its supposed to be a game.

It's not even that great a story.

It's used to buy upgrades after the first area

More specifically: There's a trailer after you get out of the house that has a bunch of bird cages. In each cage is an upgrade or weapon and at the base of the cages is the number of coins needed to open that cage

Uncharted 4 looks really, really pretty.

That and you can play Crash Bandicoot. Those remakes are my most-anticipated exclusive after Knack 2

People's reaction to a Crash remake is as puzzling as people getting genuinely excited about a Knack remake 10 years from now. Maybe it is because I wasn't five years old when Crash came out but it was a bad game. Knack is better.

This is the Metal Gear series, if you're still on board with V this can't be too much of a concern.

I didn't like IV much either, but at least it went all-out with its psycho bullshit and remains somewhat memorable and consistent with the series gameplay. The marketing of V's story and overall package was dubious at best, especially with regard to the way Konami basically purchased good reviews en masse. So, disagree.

Never have I played a more padded-out game.

I like MGS V but it's definitely light on Kojima-ness, storywise.

The watch dogs 2 free trial is another cool thing to check out provided your ISP doesn't have data caps.

Timed demo downloads of games that are already out are kind of ingenious. They worked on me the last two times I did them (Overwatch, Titanfall 2) at least.

I love how there is a weird sidepath dialog event for this purposeless room in UC4.

I think they're about equal. There was a charm to UC1 before 2 made the series so over the top that bigger setpieces were the main draw.

Extremely light. Say what you will about MGS4 (I love it, like I love the other non-V games), at least it had some incredibly powerful and memorable sequences alongside some super fun and hardcore Kojimaness dialed to eleven.

Spyro was so much better than Crash on PS1. We don't talk about anything beyond that generation though.

Crash has a lot of fun style but as a game it's very rigid and momentum-less. Like those secret rooms with a long line of crates over a pit, you have to carefully scoot forward an inch at a time with each bounce to hit the next crate and it's hard to not either overshoot the crate and hit the next one, or not hit right for long enough and fall down the same crate gap you just made. I always wanted a bit more float to carry forward - it felt imprecise at times.

It's pretty different from Mario regardless. Crash 1 is real rough, 3 is a bit smoother. It was all worth it for CTR.

That happens once, on the first level and while its almost impossible to jump on those crates to destroy them the intention is for the player to pickup a mask power up and run across the lime of crates to destroy them.

uncharted owns, MGS owns, crash owns, knack probably owns (waiting for ps+). The PlayStation is an excellent gaming platform.
