@mookysam +1 to that. I always rise an eyebrow when someone mentions uncharted in the context of a good story, especially when they compare it to Tomb Raider. I didn't like those flashback chapters in uc4 as they broke the pace of the game. I recently started uc4 again to go after the platinum and I stopped when you become young Nathan. Just can't force myself to play it. I always regarded Uncharted games as a blockbuster summer movie - just for fun and relaxation, nothing serious.
Project Cars 2 is awesome. I just started my career and winning the first tournament was as satisfying as beating a boss in a Souls game. PC2 is surely hard to master, but it all depends on the player's ability and concentration.
Not a lot of love for the series on here I guess. What can you do. I've always thought the storytelling was great. Well, it was in 1, 2, and TLL at least.
@Kidfried He doesn't fall where Elena is, he falls into a river and floats for a while until she finds him. I think if I remember, she said she found him by following the sound of gunfire.
@NecuVise I think most people on here just enjoy/like it at best. To love it is something entirely different imo. Not trying to start an argument though.
I'm just hearing a lot of criticism, and how Tomb Raider is better. I don't think it's getting its due in defining a generation and pushing the medium of video games forward. But I think we should start talking about something else now, I don't feel like arguing.
@Kidfried I always wondered how to spell the full version of "etc."
@AdamantiumClaws on the contrary, I've read numerous times how tomb raider is poor man's uncharted but I've rarely seen someone regard it better than uncharted.

That's what I heard until I came to this forum.
I don't think it's a poor man's Uncharted, that seems disrespectful. But it definitely has not reached the heights of Uncharted for me. In terms of top action/adventure franchises though it is definitely #2 for me.
@AdamantiumClaws honestly, I think they are two different series and there's no need to compare them. The gameplay is very different so I'm not sure why and on what merit they are compared. Both are great and entertaining so why not just play both without caring which one is better and what others say.
I think some of it might be that some people on here, especially the older people like myself have grown up with Tomb Raider so hold it is closer to their hearts than Uncharted.
For me personally I preferred the gameplay in the recent Tomb Raider games over Uncharted. Yeah Uncharted has the better story and characters, but I do not play games mainly for the story and characters. Sure it helps if they are good but if I was given a choice I would go for the game with better gameplay every time.

@beemo There's more to Uncharted than cover-based shooting. The climbing is a big part, and is what drew me to it and kept it from getting stale. And the puzzle-solving. I think they both classify as action-adventure, although I actually think Tomb Raider is more of a survival game. The gameplay definitely has less complexity than Tomb Raider but I've never had a problem with it. The only thing I wished for was more stealth options, which finally happened in the last 2 games. Hopefully one day they'll released versions of the earlier games with some tweaks.
As for what I'm playing now, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD. It's.....not really my thing. Not a fan of the drop concept, and the story seems flimsy. The whole game seems like a gimmick. I'll probably play until the Tron world because I love Tron, and then look at cutscenes and move onto Fragmentary Passage.
@AdamantiumClaws Do you usually keep playing games you don't enjoy? Not having at go at you or anything, but most of your posts are how you are not enjoying the current game you are playing. For me video games is about having fun, as soon as that stops I usually move on to another game. Just interested in different ways people play games.

@JohnnyShoulder I only have posted about 2 games I haven't enjoyed, you're blowing it out of proportion. When you're playing a franchise where each game is vital to the story (the 2 games I talked about are in the same franchise) you kind of have to put up with it. I ended up playing through only 2 characters' stories in Birth By Sleep, and I actually quit Dream Drop Distance because it was terrible and I've been watching cutscenes, like I said I would. I also said that I kept playing because I wished to see the Tron world, because I'm a big fan of that franchise. The tron world was only the third world into the game so it's not like I played for 20 hours. However, in the future I think I will stop playing earlier on. But it's a tough call sometimes, 1 of the characters' stories in Birth By Sleep I ended up being glad I stuck with, even through the bad parts.
Currently playing Kingdom Hearts a Fragmentary Passage. Really beautiful graphics. I'm not far into it but I can tell this is going to be something special.
@AdamantiumClaws Ah fair enough, and soz really didn't mean to cause any offence. I'm keeping count or anything, it's just the vibe I'm getting from you.
See that is pretty alien to me, I don't recall the last time I was that into the story in a video game. Maybe an episodic title when an episode finished on a cliffhanger.

I love it's music, I think it's a fantastic looking game and I like the characters too, but having played around 25 hours I am stalling a little. I am finding it a little bit grindy and repetitive and I am starting to think my tastes have changed and I have grown weary of JRPG's. It's a shame because I recognise all the things it does right, but I think the gameplay in these kinds of games no longer keeps me engaged.
@Kidfried Yeah, I get that you can wait until the end but I know if I finish the game that I probably won't go back to do them and I'm a bit of a completionist so want to make sure everything has been done before moving on from the game. Plus, some of the rewards from sub stories give you property/hostesses which makes those game modes easier.
I'm enjoying it overall and realise the silly array of things you can do give the game some its charm (I've not played a Yakuza game before) but for me it's the standard video game logic of "well, I need to clear my name so that I can save the world.. but maybe I should go star in this popstars music video first" that gets a little disingenuous at times.
