Hi guys,
Has anyone played the new uncharted game that came out? Ordered in the Black Friday sales and was wondering if others have played it and what they think of it?

{Ed007's Note - If you liked the original games you'll enjoy it. I've not finished it because of games that have came out since. The whole series are the type of games my Mrs likes watching me play so I know I'll go back to it at some point.
I actually per ordered it because we loved the original games, I got a loan of the trilogy set thing and me and her loved playing thriugh them one after the other. A brilliant series of games and the Lost Legacy is a worthy spin off even if it could be a Tomb Raider game.}

The uncharted series is my favourite game series off all time. If I’m ever bored I tend to pick one and go back and play it again, really gutted there will be no more Nathan Drake! Looking forward to playing the lost legacy, hoping it’s a long game!

{Ed007's Note - Let us know what you think of it, Caolan. I reckon we've not seen the last of Nathan Drake either, are you old enough to remember The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on TV? They'll do something like that, a lot of the games used flashbacks to Drake's youth so there's plenty to expand on.}

Unfortunately I’m not! Think that would have been more my older brothers time! I hope we see more, but I think naughty dog said they wouldn’t be doing it? Also very excited for the release of last of us 2!

{Ed007's Note - I didn't really like the first Last of Us so I've not paid much attention to the sequel. As for Naughty Dog, they'd be crazy to 'kill off' such a popular character as Drake and for their financial reasons I think he'll make some kind of comeback after a couple of years rest. }

I was a fan of the last of us ed, very curious to see how the second will play out now after the ending. Yes I agree on Drake, perhaps they are saying this is the end to give themselves more time to work on it in private to make it even better? Who knows!!

{Ed007's Note - I do seem to be in the minority when it come to The Last of Us as everybody else raved about it at the time. Dishonoured 2 was like that as well, I just couldn't get into it and gave up through boredom after a couple of days playing it.}

I enjoyed it, but wasn’t anywhere near as hooked as I was with the uncharted series. It always felt like it lacked a little bit of direction, it would perhaps be better as an open world game?
On a side note is there any games you would recommend trying for the PS4? Big fan of action and adventure games!
Cheers in advance.

{Ed007's Note - I can't see past the Assassin's Creed games mate, I even loved the two poorest ones they brought out.}

The only assassins creed I actually completed was the first one with Ezio! I really enjoyed it, but just never got many of the others!

{Ed007's Note - You should definitely give them a blast then, either go for one of the older/cheaper ones - I'd recommend Black Flag if you're going to do that - or get Origins and fall head over heels in love with the series and work back through the series from there.}

Cheers ed! Once I get this dissertation complete and free up some time I think I’ll get cracking with it! In desperate need of a week to just chill on the PS4!

{Ed007's Note - Your PS4 should ALWAYS come before any education!* Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is another game I really enjoyed playing.

*I had to Google what a dissertation was. :(

It did for the last two years so now I’m trying to claw it back 😂. 10,000 words on the topic of euthanasia has a draining effect! Still keeping the weekend free for gaming, mainly been playing fut champs in Fifa, yet each weekend is sky myself why!

{Ed007's Note - Throw FIFA in the bin and explore the loads of great games that are out there, you'll get bargains on pre-owned games. I bought FIFA 17 a couple of months ago coz it was cheap in the PS Store as a download and I was playing it every minute I could to the point of giving myself trigger finger in my thumb! It's only since AC Origins and Star Wars 2 came out I've kicked FIFA and I argue with myself if I should buy 18, I've resisted.... so far.
At least you've picked a nice cheery subject to write about, you should have done it on the AC games, I could batter out more than 10, 000 words easy for you about that and guarantee you an A+ on it}

Can’t see myself getting another Fifa tbh. It’s the same each year and is just a rip off. Unfortunately our uni’s law department does not seem to recognise that as topic!

{Ed007's Note - Whit?? Get an online petition fired up! Gee I remember when students stuck up for what they believed in, you should ask Ed002 about her time at Berkley back in the day.}

People would take too much offence. These days setting up an online petition could be as bad as starting a riot. People are getting soft.

Ed 007 just started playing the lost legacy. Must say, feels just the same as the others (which is a good thing!!). Also looking to get into the assassins creed games, do you know if any of the originals have been remastered for PS4?

{Ed007's Note - You want The Ezio Collection which is remastered versions of Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations which you should be able to pick up for about £20 now and is well worth it.
I noticed today that I've notched up over 118 hours playing Origins!}

Wow! That’s commitment! I’ll have a browse for them, I broke a controller at Fifa this weekend so that’s done for a while!!

{Ed007's Note - I'm not finished with it yet either! I've reached level 40 with the XP which is the highest they allow so far but there's still plenty for me to do.
I was meant to get a loan of FIFA 18 off my nephew but he didn't appear with it, I'm not to fussed but want to play the next part of The Journey. I'm still refusing to buy it and since I stopped playing FIFA 17 my thumb is slowly healing!
What's your PS ID? I won't put it on the site but I'll add you - you can be my 6th friend if you want....... :-(

The journey isn’t great ed, the reason I’m not a fan was down to the fact you don’t have much control off it. Bar playing the matches, they make you leave your club etc especially when I didn’t want too!!

{Ed007's Note - Is there much difference in the actual gameplay between 17 and 18? FIFA 17 is the first of them I've bought in years so I was pretty impressed with it but do they change them enough to warrant a new one every year - and at those prices - or is just another way to get cash from kids for the game and then the FUT stuff that they spent a fortune on last year and is all useless in the newest versions?}

They made a lot of changes at the start of the game and it played well. However, after a few updates it’s returned to the same standard. Basic things like not being able to stop your opponent score from kickoff, the same BS goals get conceded. It’s just a money making machine for ea and only a tiny minority actually want change so why would they stop when the majority keep buying and throwing their money into it.

{Ed007's Note - It's craziness, my mates 2 boys drive him crazy and he spends a fortune on it for them and it's everything twice with their being 2 of them. I've never spent any money on any in-game stuff although I do buy season passes for games I know I'm going to like.
That scoring straight from K.O was a pain in the arse and the same move of cutting in and passing it across the goal for a tap in was doing my box in. There's some amount of wee ***** out there that just do/try the same thing over and over - and what's with the total cretins that don't do anything and you can't quit or you'll lose!
I feel better after getting that off my chest :)

It’s just a very poorly thought out game, after all they want it to be an esport!! Don’t get me started on the fut champs lay out, 40 games in a weekend? That’s ridiculous!!! Some pro players have quit due to the stress of playing it. Bad sign when people have to put a game down and stop playing due to mental health.

{Ed007's Note - There's a video games/e-sports channel on Virgin cable called GiNX that showed a FIFA 17 competition where the winner won £250k a couple of months ago and a few of the players were actually employed by clubs to play FIFA for them which all shows how serious some people take e-sports.
I didn't know they were playing 40 games a weekend which you could probably do sitting in the house but when you're under pressure by your 'bosses' and sponsors to win and playing in front of the live audience and TV viewers would be pretty daunting for the young lads doing it so there's no surprise that it grinds some of them down.}

Being a professional gamer would be amazing mind you!

{Ed007's Note - Definitely! Back in the day I wanted to leave school and work for a video/computer games magazine but realistically it was never going to happen. Back then that was the closest you could get to getting paid for playing games unless you were working for a games company - I ended up an engineer after doing my HND in Computer Science, work that one out! :(

Still sounds fairly impressive ed!!! Must say that the lost legacy was fantastic, 9 chapters so not as long as the others. But very good game, great plot and a good ending! It felt just like any uncharted game, but didn’t feel like I missed Nathan Drake!!

{Ed007's Note - Nah take my advice kidder, stick well in at Uni and get a job you enjoy doing AND that you come home clean at the end of the day. In saying that, you wouldn't have The Angel of the North, The Dublin Spire, The Armadillo in Glasgow and a few other landmarks without my unique skills at steel bending :)
I didn't know Legacy was as short as that, I'll need to put it on and finish it - if I can stop playing Origins that is lol


17.) 05 Dec 2017

Your advice is exactly what my nana says!! You could really do it in a day!

{Ed007's Note - Folk told me it for years but I never listened, now I'm older I wish I had listened and they told me I'd think that too lol I tell Ed004 the same, he's doing a Masters degree in accounting stuff so no chance he'll ever be up to his elbows in welding gloves.
If you could do Legacy in a day you must have missed out a lot of collecting/trophy stuff! My wee nephew does that, 'Aye I've completed that' but he's just charged through the game or being a lying wee shit lol
There's that much hidden stuff in games I'll admit I've never completed a game 100% when you look at my trophies but I've finished loads, does that make sense?}


18.) 06 Dec 2017

Yeah I get you ed! I like to go through the game then go back to try and get everything else! I’m currently doing a law degree, busy busy year!

{Ed007's Note - I prefer collecting things while I play (even using a walkthrough if needs be) because I rarely go back to a game once I've finished the story mode unless there's still side missions or that to do.
Good luck with your degree, I'm sure you'll smash it no probs (yes)

Have to echo ED7 here, AC origins is fantastic, I kinda fell out of love with the game once Ezio left so this is my first AC since then, but everything about it is astonishing, you can tell the devs actually cared about this game, combat is much better, love the eagles, love the environoments. Also don't pick up Fifa 18 unless it comes free with a console bundle. I picked up a black Friday bundle and Fifa came with it otherwise I don't see myself paying 50 for minute improvements. It is good but it's like every Other Fifa ever when it comes out.

Also side note to Caolan keep chugging through with your diss mate! I remember the pain of doing mine last year and all i ever wanted was to just sit down with no diss and just OD on my Xbox, it'll be worth it!

Hoping so ed! Thanks :) flat out busy but it’ll be worth it I hope!!!

{Ed007's Note - I'm sure it will be, just remember us poor folk when you're charging folk £2000 an hour :)
