this game is garbage
nolan north and richard mcgonagle give good performances as Nate and Sully for what they're given. thats everything good i have to say about this game
at its best, its the world's most generic cover shooter with the same problems all these ungodly games have. at its worst, its a repetitive series of climbing, braindead puzzle solving, and irritating monotony.
i cant even put into credible thoughts just how bad this game so here's some general shit i hate
- there were several instances where i had my reticle over an enemy's head and it registered as me shooting them in the chest
- enemies are all bullet sponges unless you hit them in the head, so the pistol is the only good weapon due to it not having horrible accuracy
- enemies will figuratively and literally pop out of cover dramatically like an actual whack-a-mole machine
- the level design is so uninspired with every shootout being so obviously marked by bright, glowing chest-high walls
- shoulder switching slightly moves the camera and takes several seconds, so if you come out of cover and the camera is on the wrong side its not even worth hitting the button
- getting into cover can sometimes be smooth (with the nice edition that dodge rolling near cover automatically puts you into it) but it can sometimes never put you into cover at all and nathan sticks so hard to it that if an enemy flanks you its up to the good lord whether or not you can get away
- enemies blend into the environment so much you have to step out of cover and let yourself get shot so you can follow the bullet trail back to the enemy
- most of my deaths were from the shitty climbing
- the distances nathan drake can actually jump are completely contextual
- quick time events
- nathan drake and ellen have like no chemistry and their idea of flirtation is sarcasming at each other
- no characters have any development and while sullivan and nobody else can sometimes have funny lines, the idea that there's actually a story in this game is the funniest joke it can tell
- nathan shooting a man in the god damn head and saying "ooh, that ones gonna sting in the morning!" makes him seem like a god damn psychopath
- the zombie stuff feels completely left field and while the enemies were a decent change of pace to the braindead fucking cover shooting, they get stale quickly and dont gel well with regular enemies at all
- this game marked the death of third person shooters until naughty dog themselves had to revive it again
i cannot fucking believe this is by the same developers as the last of us and uncharted 4. fuck this game
