Is there a thread favorite for a headset to use for voice comms? I have the sound coming from speakers so just need something to communicate with my party members.

There's no faster way to piss off your teammates than having sound come from your speakers, you will get feedback and echo through your mic. A headset is mandatory if you want voice comms. That said, if you're on a budget you can't go wrong with hyperx headsets.

Speaking of headsets. At the moment I just use headphones I plug in my controller. I found several cheap headphones online that also have a built-in mic, will that mic work if I just plug them in my controller?

Sure, you get better results with a decent headset with a proper mic but any headphones that comes with a phone or whatever will do the trick.

Ok what the gently caress is this game even about That just got more and more insane and then I could barely handle the crescendo of "Manage your own baseball team!" "Open world shark hunting!" "Creepy dating simulation!" e "Carry a baby sometimes!"

I bought PS4 recently and decided to play Uncharted remastered bundle starting with the first one. It isn't going too well because the game is kinda ... crap? It's really boring and awkward shooting sessions one after another. So the question is, does it get better or this is pretty much it? I am now in a spanish fort looking for girl after the plane crash.

UC1 is really rough, both in terms of the gameplay mechanics and encounter design. It's worth plowing through for some of the Nate/Elena interactions, but it's mostly forgettable. UC2 is where the series hits its stride, and you'll be kind of astounded how much better it is than UC1 in literally every possible way.

It gets better when you start playing Uncharted 2 and this isn't a series where subtle plot nuances and references are important, so feel free to bail.

I am now in a spanish fort looking for girl after the plane crash. Uncharted 1 is a perfect example of how 11 years can turn a game from "mildly impressive year one tech demo" into "boring, uninspired revisionist garbage". Its not terrible on its own terms but if you're played any videogame in the past ten years where you move a human around a 3D area its going to feel sub par. Also the movement is oddly floaty and off putting but they fix that in later Uncharteds.

drat, 11 years ago. When Uncharted 1 originally came out, the equivalently aged games at the time were Mario 64 and Quake. UC1 compares to UC4 a lot more favorably today than 1996 games compare to UC1... diminishing returns I guess.

I beat Uncharted 1 more out of stubbornness than enjoyment and, in retrospect, you really aren't losing much by just watching a video of the last cutscene, I can't really think of anything else relevant that happens in that one.

That wasn't really the point but imagine Bubsy 3D instead if you like... point was I think 11 years is a lot less harsh now than it used to be. I don't think UC4 will be very notable in 2025 either because it's the same gameplay with a nicer package. No one every talks about UC multiplayer anymore which is too bad but I bought 4 for the MP first and didn't really find the single player very memorable. I've played online more than any other game though, love the gameplay/movement.

It's definitely the category I'd reserve for "boring garbage", maybe the 2007 equivalent would be Ninjabread Man? Either way basically I think calling UC1 garbage is overly harsh unless you didn't know it was over a decade old, otherwise I'd give it a pass compared to actual middling games from that time. Uninspired is accurate though, it's clear they spent a ton of time on tech for UC1 and didn't really stretch the legs of what they came up with, but the additional of setpieces like the collapsing buildings and trains of the sequel made it a lot more memorable. I get a Pixar vibe from them sometimes with the snow/train in UC2, flooding ship/fire in UC3, huge areas in UC4, just trying to one-up themselves on a technical achievement level each time.

Yeah the legacy of the Uncharted series is the sophistication of its environmental detail and character animations, and of course those age poorly compared to gameplay in most cases. But honestly UC1 is playable with just a few updates in 2017 when literally almost every other third person shooter from that era is completely unplayable burning garbage now. The heyday of the cute mascot platformer was not just about demographics but about working within technical limitations, and Naughty Dog closed the book on that for a while. The legacy of Uncharted is also in the DNA of every "cinematic" action game of the past decade that wanted a piece of what Uncharted did

I played UC1 on Easy just for plot and then UC2 and 3 on Normal. That worked for me really well. I’m in the midst of UC4, but decided to step away and play other stuff for now. I’ll come back to it. There are some fundamental gameplay differences that they made between 3 and 4 and I found some of them kinda jarring (the reload button change that was mentioned earlier and aiming feels really different) but I also like the addition of using the rope and repelling.

It's a good reminder that I should play Uncharted Lost Legacy, though. I had Monster Hunter World at the top of my Gamefly Q but I bumped Uncharted back up, maybe I can squeeze that in before MHW drops

UC4 is great but the thing that bothers me most about it is not where the hell Sam comes from but how Nate goes from Catholic orphanage in America to roaming the streets of Cartagena, Columbia. Alone. Then Sully also knows Sam. The chain of events is missing many links!

Lost Legacy takes a brisk 6-8 hours to complete which is pretty much the ideal length for an Uncharted game to not wear out its welcome.

Even when uncharted 1 was first released I felt like it was only moderately fun. What really made it stand out was the lush, colorful environments, good VA, and fairly entertaining story in a time where most games were brown and had stories so horrendous it was ideal to just skip them as much as possible. it really feels like a proof of concept for the later games, which are all great. I didn't think twice about skipping it when I got the collection.

Any Japanese players pick up Dragon Quest XI? If so, how is it? I played VIII on the PS2 and I enjoyed it immensely so this coming out on the PS4 is fantastic news. I didn't realize it was released a while back in Japan but since I'm behind on news and read it's getting a western release this year I figured I'd ask to see how the game is.

Monster Hunter isn't out till next week, I've basically got 2 options to pick from for the next couple of nights. Finally replay Final Fantasy 9 for the first time in something like 17 years or give Dark Souls 2 an honest shot in anticipation of the upcoming DS1 remaster. I'm leaning towards FF just because playing 7 with the ps4 cheats on was hilarious and cathartic. Also it's a lot less like Monster Hunter than Dark Souls although if I remember rightly there is some kind of hunting competition at some point? I dunno I just rememver Vivi being cool.
