I find the XMB bar to be somewhere in between. What’s in there? Sand?Īm I the only one who likes the PSN Store far better? It’s better organized, much quicker, and doesn’t use magic money. Oh, and I truly appreciate that the console weighs like 12 fucking pounds. Laggy controls, sloppy framerate, truly dreadful deinterlacing), overall surprised by how solid the console feels when the meme is that it came riding on a pale horse and tore a rift in the sky. I’m happy about how quiet it is, I’m not happy about how shit the VGA cable is, I’m not happy about how convoluted and underdesigned the XMB is in comparison to the NXE, I’m surprisingly happy about the Sixaxis, I like the fact that they don’t hide advanced options, the payment processing on PSN Store is very good (even if the rest of the store is laughable compared to XBLM), I’m very, very, very disappointed in the BC (only tried Gradius V so far, but my god was that underwhelming. I don’t actually own any retail games yet, but I’ll be on the case once I’ve exhausted their downloadable games, which will take some time. Picked up Wipeout HD, Pixeljunk Racers, Pixeljunk Eden and LocoRoco Coccorecho! and I feel pretty happy about my PS3 so far. It’s just a weird choice they made, and probably doesn’t bother most people I guess, but it just constantly keeps reminding me “you’re on a movie set”, “you’re on a movie set”. That’s how most of the edges of the world look to me in Uncharted, as if they purposely tried to emulate a fake stage, and right behind there, if went to the other side of the cardboard, you’d find men with camera equipment and lights and stuff.Īt first I thought maybe I’m just meant to ignore that stuff, but then the game introduces this mechanic of you exploring every corner of the level by looking for little treasure trinkets, so that forces me to confront these fake looking “walls” of jungle over and over. Like when you watch behind the scenes footage from movies like Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, and you see how they setup a soundstage and dress it up with some plants and a fake looking back-drop, and in those making-of scenes that soundstage just looks so fake overall (even though it doesn’t look as fake in the movie).
In a hostile, post-pandemic world, Joel and Ellie, brought together by desperate circumstances, must rely on each other to survive a brutal journey across what remains of the United States. Maybe it’s just me, but the way they handle the “edges” of the world give it this look. The Last of Us (2013 Video Game) M Action, Adventure, Drama. One interesting thing about the look and feel of Uncharted that one mentions is the whole “you’re on a movie set” feel that the game has.
