I just don't get how people are blown away by this game after playing the previous three. Its like people have never played a game before when a new Uncharted comes out. I just find that interesting. Are you really surprised every time the ground beneath Nathan Drake crumbles and he hangs over a pit and laughs it off? I just thinks it get ridiculous after a while. The guy can barely brush his teeth without the ground breaking and he plummeting to the basement. I dont know. Maybe Ive just become a cynical "old" man... |
With that mentality, why should anybody find enjoyment on mario stumping another goomba or foiling bowser's plans yet again and saving the princess? Or Link for that matter?
The Uncharted games thrive for their cinematic approach to gaming and their great storytelling. After Uncharted 2, ND didn't set out to reinvent the wheel and that's fine. They set out to tell a story and many of the previous themes and aspects carry over (such as bombastic set pieces) but the story is what holds it together and elevates it.
You act as is great story telling and great gameplay cannot co-exist. A good game can be just game play focused (Mario) or just a good story (The Walking dead) or it can be a good balance of both (Uncharted). Also, everything Normachacho said, he explained it way better than I ever could.
EDIT: The gameplay of Uncharted 4 is pretty good. It's grounded (to a point, it can easily break suspension of disbelief during gameplay, not just cutscenes) but it feels great. Movements are fluid, there's tons of vertically in the way during combat and different ways to approach a fight. The new rope mechanic, for example, is fantastic. You really think people would praise Uncharted 4 so much if the gameplay was a complete mess or painfully average? It's rock solid.
