I am well on the way to finishing this game and have really enjoyed it. It is possibly the prettiest game I have ever seen and the mechanics have been refined really well. It is also huge and gives you plenty of room to explore. The story telling is very good, but it's slower and less of a popcorn, pulp action game. I look forward to just watching the scenes when I finish as a film.
The only downside for me was that I didn't feel I was playing an Uncharted game sometimes. The slower pace was fantastic for The Last of Us, but Uncharted is meant to be about set pieces and having a stirring plot. There was a reason for the slow pace in The Last of Us as it was a minimalist survival game. Uncharted is meant to be more gung ho and just flat out exciting. It has exciting moments, but they are fewer and farther between. Maybe it just seems that way because it's so big and you find yourself analysing mud splatters and exploring for treasure. I'm not sure.
I was just wondering if anyone has played this and what they think. The reviews have been excellent, but I understand some users have been moaning about it being a bit dull. I have had moments of doubt, but it does pick up in the second half. It is just so big though and that is a strange thing to consider a negative. They have given great value for money in this one. Uncharted 3 seemed a big short changed with some very short chapters, but this is just big, big, big.
