I one hope this game has a trans main character with multi-coloured hair. Probably someone that's African or Asian descendant but with the game being set in Alaska.

Woah, leaks for The Long Dark 2 has hit the internet!

There's definitely a bigger story here that hasn't been told. Maybe we'll find out what really happened with this game in like 5-10 years.

Maybe there is, but sometimes there isn't a bigger story and it's really mundane.

I am talking about the amount of filler cutscenes and garbage narrative that is there in cuckmann's games. The games would be better off they had 4-5 hrs more of gameplay and less of soap opera drama. With the way they are going we will get a hellblade 2 type of "game"
it is really subjective. i personally don't agree with some story plots or characters.

but they wanted to tell a story and had to be done how it had to be done. that's why some games getting 10/10, some 9/10 or 7/10, it is the extra mile which devs take makes the different.

Uncharted 4 was definitely a drag at times but that gameplay is still so so smooth.
Gameplay was smooth, sure, but I just felt the story and the length of the game was really tedious and stretched out. Also I get it's a climbing game, but there were sections in the game where I actually thought to myself, ffs, I have to climb that all ffs.

The second game had it all: pacing and action scenes; it was magnificent to play.

My favorite Uncharted, what a blast. AAA gaming at it's best when it comes to production value, that game could be released today.
I've recently replayed it and I can appreciate it more now considering it's exactly the kinda announcement and games we are missing on PS5. But it could definitely be released today and still outclass everyone else.

I tend to switch between 2 and 4. I'd fucking love a like for like remake of 2 with 4's gameplay, it would be amazing.

I agree with all your complaints for sure. I'm not a personal fan of the story especially with the attempted retcon of Uncharted 3 pretending it doesn't exist, so they could redo a younger Drake / Sam story. The sidelining of characters for Sam in the supposed final game. The tedious and boring so called exploration moments as well.

Needed more action set pieces, I thought the final fight with rafe was as disappointing as Uncharted 2 boss fight lol.

And my personal qualm about removing supernatural elements, I thought the pirate ship graveyard was the perfect set up to finally do it right

100%, just imagine that game looking on par with the new Tlou2, with animations like that, holy shit, that would be incredible.

Uncharted 2 wouldn't age well today boys, sorry to say 🤪.

Go play The Lost Legacy if you want an Uncharted 2 - esque game.

Cover shooters?? Just say you didn't Play Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us 2 and stfu 🤣

Don't be oblivious. The core of the game is the same as on the 7th gen, even if it had refinements in animation and some combat mechanics.

It's still a cover shooter with the obvious combat arenas and chest high walls between sections of walking&talking and auto platforming/simple puzzles.

That's like saying gears 5 is an entirely different game due to some semi open world on it. Still the same shit as in 2006 but refined.

You could literally play Uncharted 4 without taking much cover depending on how you wanted to approach the situation 🤣. And yes, just like most action games, you will need to take cover because bullets are flying lol.
