Does Uncharted 4 multi still have a decent player base?

I haven't played it in ages but loved UC2 multi so if it's improved that'd be swell.

I play on an almost nightly basis with another goon. You can almost always get a match as long as you're not in a team of five people. That's my experience, anyway. All the same weird p2p stuff from uncharted 2 is still in this version so you should be right at home. Weapons are weaker in this version, though.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I saw one of the famous Super Best Friends on the metro in Montreal and we made eye contact and it was weird. Like I probably stared for a bit because it took me a second to place the incredibly familiar face, and he was probably like "Man I hope that's not a fan about to bother me".

Also weird was that he was wearing his own merchandise.

I honestly keep forgetting those guys are basically in my backyard, it's as weird as if I'd seen Pewdiepie on the bus.

You may enjoy Woolie and Matt's Boxart Critique, where they pick a game series or two and do a semi-exhaustive breakdown of the cover art(and other art sometimes) for that series over the years.

Here's the one for Final Fight and Streets of Rage.

Collector's editions for one, and budget rerelease (which are sometimes good deals). Plus, yeah, normal copies.

The last game I bought physical was Shadow of Mordor because it was like half price on Amazon not long after it released. It was like 5-6 DVDs and took literal hours to install.

When I say "every boxart" I mean "every boxart", including different regions. Like how the infamous Megaman 1 and 2 boxarts from the US and Europe were those total shitshows with Bad Boxart Megaman, Silver Dildocannon Megaman, and Dr. Light Hiding Behind Crash Man As Megaman Shoots An Actual Gun At Quick Man. While gushing over/mocking the artwork, they also discuss the composition, little touches, etc. They also said it's basically an excuse to get SOME use out of the art degrees they both have.

If I had to guess who it was, it was probably Matt, and if he was wearing his own merch, it was probably the Sweet Babies shirt, which he likes a lot.

I never knew the Euro boxart for Megaman 1 was different. It's bad, but man, it's nowhere near US Boxart Megaman bad.

This all just reminds me of how hard Capcom hosed up by cancelling Megaman Universe. They could've had their own Mario Maker years before Mario Maker was a thing, but of course Capcom gon' Capcom.

Megaman Universe always looked like poo poo and it was good they cancelled it.

The mistake was putting the Megaman and Megaman X remakes on PSP, the former of which already had a level builder (or at least not porting them elsewhere).

It was ugly from what they showed, yeah, but it was a solid concept, and if it were anyone but Capcom I'd say that maybe the final product would have looked better.

The one thing I remember from yahtzee was him describing some bad clive barker game with "it's as twisted and impenetrable as a granite octopus" which was a pretty rad way to describe something being terribly designed.

There's a forum user on here with that name, avatar, and title text I believe.
