Agreed, and I really hated the LoU-forced seriousness of it.
Couldn't buy Drake and Elena's relationship and fighting, didn't care for them at all because this is Uncharted, and they always win, so the tension and slowness was just awfully hamfisted. Leave that to Last of Us, which gets it right.
That flashback to the old lady was horrid, cheesy, and boring.
But I will say, I thought it had the best treasure story-- full of genuinely creepy mystery and a beautiful lost world. I enjoyed the boss fight, which was hell of a lot better thematically and dramatically than Lazaravich and whatever UC3 was. The ending was also nice because it did feel like a goodbye.
It lacked the set pieces, and I think the demo they showed with the car chase was probably ruined by having it demoed at E3 and not experienced first hand.
