Your bad taste

>game

Explain to me the positives of Uncharted 4's story.

Cuckman came in and forced Nadine and some other shit into the story

explain the negatives

I asked you first but fine, here's a few
>Sam and everything about him is shoehorned as fuck
>Sam lying to Nate about the entire treasure hunt for no conceivable reason
>Elena showing up in their Hotel room in Madagascar completely out of nowhere
>Shambled/thrown together villains. Rafe is such a weird case. He's got barely any personality, barely any motivation, and the motivations he has don't tie into Nate's story thematically in any concrete way at all
>Nadine. I could get behind her role in the game because she's an actual tangible obstacle, but she doesn't amount to anything in the story. She just kind of fucks off
>the symbolism running through the game of two thieves clashing which never pays off in the story due to rewrites
that's a few. i just finished the thing and i don't really want to write a full essay

Name one action-oriented game that has a good story.

Yes. It's a game.

I played on nightmare mode and its legit insanely harder than any fromsoft game.

I heard Uncharted is like nuRaider, is Uncharted 1-3 good?

Mainly 2. All of them have their positives but if you're looking for a legitimately great game play 2

No More Heroes and Nier Automata? Not even trying to be a smartass to you I just think that's a genuinely interesting question

Nier Automata is more of an Action-JRPG. It's not a pure action game like Uncharted or Tomb Raider.

It is a terrible "game" with the worst pacing I have ever seen.

1 is fucking atrocious and short as fuck, it was one of the most grueling experiences i've had in recent time
2 is everything good about 1 cranked to 11 and everything bad reduced
3 is not as good as 2 and the story is quite dumb.
4 has the best gameplay by a landslide, but the story is divisive.

Honestly all uncharted games have dumb stories, but their more about character interactions than the actual plot and the characters are A tier

what's wrong with the story?

>what's wrong with the story?

The usual Druckmann pretentiousness.

what pretentiousness? Are you still crying about Nadine defeating Nate?

I feel like Nathan had much more depth than ever, it makes sense that he's addicted to adventure and that he's feeling trapped in doing regular work.
I'm not a big fan of the whole brother thing but mostly because there wasn't a single mention of him in previous games

They tried to do a "mature" and "serious" story after Tlou success. But it just can't work with the Uncharted setting, for obvious reasons that were not so obvious to them, it seems.

The last act dragged on way too fucking long.

Lol 2 on crushing is way better than 4, dozens more actually interesting shootouts, 4's shootouts are fucking shite where you cant see the enemy half the time and you spend a quarter of the game just on the brain-dead climbing lol

The story in U4 is not very good but most of what you said was wrong.
>Sam
He is contrived, how could he not be if this is the 4th game and suddenly he's Nate's brother
>Sam lying
He has his motives
>Elena showing up
Makes sense considering her suspicions and her professional networking skills and also showing up in 2 and 3 out of nowhere
>Villains
They work. Rafe wants the treasures for his legacy, to cement his name as more than a spoiled rich kid. Nate and Sam want the treasures for each other, for being adventurer brothers. When Sam constantly asks Nate "So, how is this lost city compared to the others?" and Nate just tells him "Ehh I don't know yet" because Nate was finding all this cool shit with his friends while Sam was rotting in prison, and later he tells him "Nate, all I ever wanted was to find this treasure with you", that hit hard. This is a different tone from Rafe's desire for it
>Nadine
Yeah she's whatever
>rewrites
I agree. Some plot elements feel jumbled and everything after you reconcile with Elena is one big costless perfect ending, which I guess is one way to differentiate it from TLOU 1 and 2

2 on crushing is artificial difficulty incarnate. Hell, even on Hard. 4 has a lot more depth to its systems so it feels a lot more rewarding and skill based on crushing, though it also has its share of bullshit

This. Genuinely one of the worst games I've played, and I played a lot.

The Guybrush Threepwood's easter eggs.

nothing. haters will be haters.

I thought the story was fine. Not particularly memorable or anything, but it's an action/platformer game about a treasure hunter, I dunno what you were expecting. It's certainly no worse than the other Uncharted games.

It's really not THAT bad and the buffed health's mean you have to approach each room strategically although it did get tiresome with mini bosses like the guy at the end of the train. I used all my bases and ammo on him just to a trigger a cutscene where Chloe comes in and one shots him and I'm still fuming.
Uncharted 4 had some good set pieces in the first half but it was mostly a forgettable climbing sequence followed by forgettable stealth/shootout. I also remember getting killed by bullshit a lot more in 4 like from off screen guys or enemies covered by jungle

>4 has the best gameplay
4 is the only Uncharted I've played and if that's the case, I have to ask how this series made it passed 2.

druckmann lel

I bought this game 2 years ago and still have yet to play it, I loved the Uncharted series and I don't know what happened

Druckman wrote 4. He also wrote TLOU DLC and TLOU2. He also wrote Jakd and Daxter The Lost Frontier. Everything he touches without somebody higher up to smack his shitty writing around is bland, melodramatic garbage.
