Rise of the Tomb Raider just sold me on buying Far Cry 4 ( slight review possible spoilers)

Fair enough. I disagree but at least you wrote something substantial enough to be given credit. To me the gameplay between Uncharted and Tomb Raider is essentially the same but in Tomb Raider is grossly overexaggerated, but you have to work a little harder to gain the same accuracy reticle through upgrdes. Uncharted 4 is coming and the world seems a bit more open. It seems they are going to cash in on what they were saying about the PS3 hardware that was holding them back. I will play both but I agree Rise of the Tomb Raider was a fantastic game. 

To be fair, not all of Uncharted's combat is big waves coming at you. But... that happens too often in those games. There are moments in Uncharted where you can take advantage of stealth, the enviornment, melee, etc. In comparison though, I feel more thought and creativity goes into the combat scenes of Tomb Raider titles.

I've seen the trailers for Uncharted 4 and I'm impressed, maybe they were inspired by Tomb Raider 2013. The game apparently changed a lot over its development and it does seem more open. I'm excited about Uncharted 4 and being more like Tomb Raider will benefit that series.

I genuinely don't beleive the PS3 hardware was holding Naughty Dog back. Tomb Raider 2013 and Rise of The Tomb Raider on 360 is proof of that. They offer more than any Uncharted game without need of 8th gen specs. A title like Battlefield 4 is an amazing game for 7th gen specs as well, those consoles aren't as limited as developers want us to believe.
