I don't like Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection so far...

I'm sorry, hasn't the general consensus about ROTR been that it's a great game, that mostly just refines the game that came before it?

As far as what Tomb Raider lacks? I can't speak of ROTR because I haven't played it yet, but the last one didn't have great characters or storytelling, and the set pieces felt a little too much like not-quite-as-good Uncharted.

Personally, I also found the game a bit too slow. For me, a lot of the moment to moment stuff was a bit of a slog, and Laura just not being very interesting didn't help.

I also think it's weird to want a franchise to change in it's last itteration, especially one that's been as well recieved as Uncharted. I'm not a fan of Dark Souls, but I'm not going to go around asking From Software to give the game more focus and put in a more impactful story, because that's not what the people who play those games are looking for. There are plenty of games that give me what I'm looking for, why would I need to change an existing franchise to fit my own wants and needs?

Edit: Also, ND games have seen some pretty drastic gameplay improvements over the last few years. Talking specifically of going from Uncharted 2 through The Last of Us. So it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to assume that it will get better with Uncharted 4 aswell. Actually, the beta was a bunch of fun.

P.S. I actually really like the gameplay in Uncharted 2 and especially 3.

Yeah, you could argue ROTTR is more of the last game. But the last game was more ambitious than any Uncharted game. ROTTR offers more than its predecessor. Also, we havent had four releases of it. If the next Tomb Raider is more of the same, then I will say its getting kinda tedious. Something I always appreciated about Halo is every game feels different, for better or worse.

I can be a fan of something and also be critical of it. I do like Uncharted as a whole, but if they found a way to make the levels more interesting and didnt use waves of bullet sponge enemies to pad the game out, I would like that.
