So had a couple more sessions on Remnant from the Ashes this week and it’s just so good. Three things that may sound like hyperbole but are perfectly genuine... 1) best game I’ve played this year... 2) best PS+ game that I’ve played... & 3) best multiplayer game I’ve ever played!
Obviously there are caveats, 1) we’re only in April so I’m sure I will end up playing some great games before now and 2022 & 3) never been much of a multiplayer gamer so I’ve never really played ‘much’ mp... but still the game just gets deeper and deeper the more you dig into it and as a result it just gets better and better.
Playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune now as part of the Nathan Drake collection. @Th3solution I don't think you mentioned in your review quite how blue Sully gets in his references and humour, it seems like Naughty Dog were originally intending the series to be quite different in tone from the wholesome Hollywood fare it ends up being at the end of A Thief's End. What are your thoughts on that?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, the tone does alter slightly over the course of the series, and in particular the role of Sully. I remember being a little confused by his character when I originally played Drake’s Fortune. He definitely settles into his jovial partnership role better as the series goes on.

@MaulTsir Man lemme know what you think when you get to the end of 16. The cutscene that plays is one of the best I've ever seen in a game, you'll know it when you see it.
Still playing through Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, onto Chapter four now and I just got the 'Run and Gunner' trophy presumably for shooting a set number of enemies within a limited time-frame or without being killed. @Th3solution@TraCuz-@colonelkilgoreSully's "death" didn't really work for me unfortunately as I know from playing the later games that he obviously survives his gunshot wound although it is yet to be revealed exactly how he did that.
@colonelkilgore yeah I have 60% of trophies so far so probably around 70% by time I'm finished alot of them will just be clean up ones except for level 50 and hard playthrough that hard playthrough I will definitely save for the upgrade on the ps5 though and the dlc.
There's certain points that I know will be alot trickier on hard so lucking forward to then because to be honest I've breezed through most of it with no problem at all on normal but that has allowed me to really take in the story and enjoy the game with out to much effort on fighting.
@TraCuz- I completed chapter's 16 last night, it was a long chapter roughly about 2 hours so with out the side quests it was probably the longest stand alone chapter up to now but definitely one of my favourites, the deviation in story is the biggest I've seen up to this point also but it's actually really good I'll give a more in depth review on my thoughts/angle after I've completed the game, I'm currently on 17 with my 4 legged friend and my one armed revolutionist to give you some idea of how far in I am.
I started Abzu last night. It's pretty and has some nice music. I guess I'll have to play it again if I want the platinum but I hear it's pretty short so that should be ok.
@MaulTsir The one thing I did after completing my first run and before the hard run was to use the Colosseum to spam AP for your materia as you'll need plenty of HP and MP up materia on full level. You'll also want plenty of your cure, life, and lots of other materia fully levelled to.
It's a bit of a grind but makes the hard mode slightly easier. There are plenty of guides to give you an idea of what to consider before the hard mode run but it's well worth it and I enjoyed the second run a lot more!
@MaulTsir well I found it fairly considerable to be honest... but I am an FF-noob so maybe that didn't help. Having said that, I actually found very little trouble with the normal playthrough... but a good chunk of the bosses including Hell House and those after were a struggle in Hard Mode. Also, the VR 'Boss-Run' was very tough... think the trophy was called Top Secret.
Still, it's definitely not a plat-blocker... just a difficult series of battles where you have to be very mindful of your items.
