Today’s game is Uncharted 4. After playing 007 First Light, it left me with a desire to play this again. They play so similarly I feel like it was a given.

I’m enjoying coming back to this with the experience I’ve gained taking photography classes. I’m not going to pretend I’m some big shot master photographer. But I do think there’s been an increase in quality (though the main screenshot is a little too warm now that I’m looking at it). Honestly I’ve started judging games by their photo modes now because of this (Alan Wake 2 is my favorite).

Anyways, I love the themes of this one. It’s a lot more narrative heavy and dramatic I feel like than the older but I feel like it’s a really good way to close out Nathan’s story. I do miss the Supernatural Elements, but I do like the theme of Nathan not being able to leave the life.

As always I feel a need to point out how much I love this game’s water. It’s pretty and really got nice shape and form to it. And the movement is just perfect. Whoever designed it did a really damn good job because I always feel blown away by it.

Anyways. I made it as far as the auction this go around. I’m not gonna bother to collect all the collectibles but the last achievement I need is the speedrunning one. So maybe I’ll get lucky and nab that. I would have sunk more time into it but it took so long to download. I wish they had separated language packs and lost legacy as DLC or something to save on space because that’d would have been a big help. Maybe after this though I’ll finally go play Lost Legacy. I never got a chance to finish it.

That gun... is this a mod/censor-friendly setting, or is that a genuine weapon from the game?

    I love that you're practicing photography skills in n what would otherwise be just content padding for the sub. I've mentioned it before, but seeing your posts is one of my favorite things on Lemmy. I don't get enough time to game at the moment but your joy for it reminds me why I love the hobby.

    Have you ever had a chance to play classic Diablo 2? I've recently found a project that runs it as an app and its been kind if crazy thinking about how formative this game was for me. Even the concept of my username is a call back to my days playing the Necromancer. Turns out my love of borderlands is because it's just D2 with guns. If you ever wanna give it a shot, I still have my mint condition 2001 battle box and I'd be glad to share the keys.

    Photography has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I can’t draw for shit and don’t have the patience to develop skills, so photography is the perfect mid ground.

    ive considered Diablo 2 a few times but im kind of iffy on Roguelikes. It has been on my list of “games I’d like to give a try” though so I definitely plan on it at some point

    Water details in games are seriously underappreciated, I makes me happy to see another hydropositive! I enjoy reading your posts.
