its my belief. you can think it stupid if you want. doesnt really bother me. I do find sp games superficially difficult.Your post is ridiculous not only because of your remarks regarding Dark Souls and Mario ("to me it's just superficial puzzles and difficulty as opposed to real difficulty as achieved in competitive multiplayer games" is probably the most genuinely and spectacularly stupid thing I've ever read on here, and this is gaf!) but also because calling ND unparalleled regarding storytelling is just completely ignorant. Even TLoU which is ND operating at their absolute best in that regard is nowhere near as accomplished and well thought out as something like IHNMAIMS, Planescape Torment, Policenauts or 999/VLR.
What really makes ND popular and widely beloved is that they adhere to the Shawshank Redemption philosophy and make games that are as approachable, enjoyable and unoffensive as possible. These games are tailor made to appeal to as many people as possible and they do a very good job at raising as little barriers as possible.
Enjoyable little narratives I agree, but very little of substance is actually being said with the plot remaining pretty much exclusively entertainment driven throughout most of their stuff.
Also, just for reference... ND are very much my cup of tea. I love their games. None of the ones I've played has ever been below average, with some actually being quite great. Why do people always assume the minute you criticize something you must be against it? SotC is still my #1 favorite game of all time and I wouldn't ever score it over an 8.
They grabbed all this stuff and took it away because they had a bunch of fans that disliked the franchise and they changed it to get their approval. On the other hand they shitted over their real fans.
I almost feel the same way. Except I think it's the third greatest game of all time with only Bloodborne and The Last of Us surpassing it.I have so many post explaining why I love this game so much. It just warms my heart every time I think about it.
The best video game of all time.
Idc if that statement is disagreed by million+ people. Out of every game I've played so far, it is the best. I'm looking forward to a day some game can top it.
I enjoyed it for the story, characters and set pieces. If you strip those elements out it's a very mediocre game at best. The gameplay in Naughty dog games is quite weak and honestly watching a playthrough might be more enjoyable than actually playing.

Lucky they included a "combat encounter select" mode eh?
Feel free to quote them, otherwise it seems like you're trying to dunk on all disssenting opinions while avoiding explaining why their takes are bad.i mean i get that not everyone likes the game but there are some extraordinarily bad takes in this thread.
GoldI thought it was a good release, it had cohesive themes and some really stand out moments. Was refreshing that it took a more traditional approach, especially after The King of Limbs.
Loved it, best ND game to date.
It goes:
UC4
UC2
TLOU
UC3
UC1
I think it is fantastic and I played trough it three times already. Only in the middle I feel the pacing slogs a bit, but taken over the whole experience it is a minor issue to me.
Hated it. Awful gunplay, unlikeable characters, boring plot, lifeless environments.
I just feel that this type of game belongs in the PS360 era.
I think Last of us gameplay and Uncharted 4 are about equal actually. I don't see how it is garbage.
lol, trying really hard to get that "shitpost of 2017" award?2 goat > 1/3 > dog shit > 4
i went in for an uncharted game, not a girl friend talking climb simulator
Hahahahahaha are you serious? 999 was garbage-tier writing.Even TLoU which is ND operating at their absolute best in that regard is nowhere near as accomplished and well thought out as something like IHNMAIMS, Planescape Torment, Policenauts or 999/VLR.

Doubtful since UC4 doubles and triples down on characters and assumes you have some affinity for them which it seems you don't.Reading some of these complaints, sounds like I might actually like Uncharted 4 lol
Enjoyed the first game, really disliked the 2nd and couldn't be bothered to get to the halfway point in the 3rd.

Uncharted 4 is a masterclass in pacing. It's unbelievably good in that regard. When people look back in 15 years they'll see.
4 > 2 > 3 > 1
The Last of Us gameplay actually suited the atmosphere of the game world.
Walking around empty ruins to collect items that have no story or gameplay significance is meaningless. They thought they could shoe horn in an Uncharted game into the Last of Us mold and get gold. It didn't work.
Uncharted games were supposed to be light hearted and fun. This was trying way too hard to tell a serious story and it didn't work for me.
Would have loved to see what Amy Hennig's version entailed. Hopefully we can hear that story one day.
i thought this game sucked and i played through the prior 3 three times each. they took the wrong lessons from last of us and removed anything that was fun in the series. not getting the dlc one
