CharlestheHammer posted:I disagree? You have to be really invested in the story or really love clunky third person shooters which is definitely not true for everyone. A third person shooter is pretty much the bog standard for a game most people can get to grips with. Like you don't get much more mass appeal than Uncharted.

Rookie mistake right there. Always check Target and Big W first, because they often undermine JB and EB's release-day prices by a good $10 at least.

I did check Big W at least, but their instore stuff has been almost as bad lately. They do at least ship off their site though, I guess. Bah!

Not being impressed by something you've seen done hundreds of times is not seething hatred. SweetBro fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Jan 24, 2017 |

If you still regularly play videogames that dazzle you with new mechanics and gameplay elements then I am quite jealous because most big budget games are refinements on decades of past work. I mean if the worst thing you can say about Uncharted is that it stands on the shoulders of its predecessors, that's still pretty high praise.

Alder posted:Amazon warehouse has them for $226.95 and they have a good rep w/refurbished consoles. I got mine w/o UC:4 so it was slightly cheaper as I've never played any UC games before. As for new PS4 unless there's a promo it won't go below $250. Cool thanks. This is what I was looking for.

Wandle Cax posted:Speaking of controller features, what are some people's favorite uses of the speaker and lights. I liked how in Mad Max during the final mission you can hear ghostly voices through it. I like how in Rise of the Tomb raider the light changes colour depending on the light source lara is using.

Possibly the only aspect of Fallout 4 I thought was interesting was the controller light turning green when you have your Pipboy torch on. Also in GTA V you get sirens. It's pretty cool. Pity the battery life on the DS4 is so garbage.

I like the spray can mechanic in Second Son and that the light changes color based on the power you're using. I can't explain why the spray paint thing is so satisfying to me. Second Son and several games also use the controller for your phone, which is cool. I like the light flicker in Tomb Raider and the sirens in GTAV. I also like that the light turns red when you die in TR. I like that the light sensor changes color based on the Power Ranger you use in the Power Rangers game that just came out. I know there are other examples, but I can't think of any others right now.

It's been a long time but man the street art was such a good use of the controller gimmicks.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Possibly the only aspect of Fallout 4 I thought was interesting was the controller light turning green when you have your Pipboy torch on. I have a wireless bone controller on my PC using the same Eneloops that my 360 controllers and it's crazy how much more battery life it has. I consider that the bone controller still relying on old batteries is lazy (or buying a charge&play pack) but they last waaaaay longer than DS4's battery. Didn't the DS3 have a 1800mAh battery while DS4 has just 1000mAh? Cutting almost by half its capacity while adding permanent light (even dim) and voice features wasn't a smart move tbh. I don't have issues with DS4 battery life since I play on a PC desk and I'm like 3 feet away from my PS4 so I always have a cable handy.

I bought one of those charging stations that both display your games and let you rest your controllers on top to charge them and ive never been bothered by battery life since.

I go back and forth between the PS3 and PS4 and the DS3 gets so much more life it's not even funny. I leave the DS4 plugged in permanently now.

Sassy Sasquatch posted:I agree, the more deliberate pacing and emphasis on stealth was an improvement compared to the previous iterations. It gave more room for the characters to grow and interact, and it curbed that "Tombs of War" feeling that made the previous games a bit tedious for me to play. Problem is, the climbing parts were boring and Sam, the character you spend the most time with, was dull as dishwater most of the time.

I love both the Uncharted series and the Souls games and Bloodborne but I would say Uncharted 4 is about as different in gameplay from the other Uncharted games as Bloodborne is from the Souls games (ignoring setting, obviously).

CharlestheHammer posted:loving how Uncharted 4's shooting feels different (to me), the climbing is different, it has a grappling hook now, you get to drive a jeep, it's got long stretches of "character development" which, like them or not, are new to the series (I don't mean that character development is new to the series, just the long quiet stretches). Bloodborne has a bunch of changes from the Souls game but it's kind of obtuse to pretend like it's not unmistakably part of the same series and that the formula wasn't pretty well-worn by the point when it came out.

The only difference between the uncharted games is the grappling hook so pretending it is equivalent to the massive changes bloodborne made to the formula( for good or bad) is dumb.
