Yeah, welcome back, cane!

I'm enjoying Ass Creed: Syndicate at the moment, in memory 4 out of 9. London is very dirty, as expected of the Victorian Age.

Thanks fellas.

Off-topic: If all goes well, I'm going to be a grandfather next year. My oldest (the married one) is with child.

I just finished Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and it was an excellent side adventure featuring Chloe, Nadine and Sam. It was gorgeous looking, and included all of the play mechanics featured in Uncharted 4 even improving on some of them like melee combat and stealth. Playing as Chloe was faster and smoother than playing as Nate, and she was a badass martial artist making melee combat really fun and there was a lot of it. I had some of the best combat experiences in the entire series, and the last level was one of the most exciting that I've experienced in a game. It had one of the best villains in the series, and he was the best final boss fight in the series IMO.

Like Uncharted 4, it was a great blend of action adventure platforming and puzzle solving. The adventure itself felt a lot like a Tomb Raider game with a partner. I watched some reviews for it and a lot of them claimed that it was short only taking 6 hours to finish. I don't know how they finished it so quickly because I ignored the optional side stuff in the one open world-ish area and stuck to the story, and it took me 8 hours to finish. That's not short for a primarily linear action adventure platformer, that's close to the same length as the first three Uncharted games. It was the perfect length for the game that it was. The ending was really good too.

The following is how I rank the Uncharted games:

1) Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
2) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
3) Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
4) Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
5) Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

WB Cane, and congrats! :mrgreen:

Phase, you have me wanting to play Lost Legacy now if for no other reason than to see a good Uncharted final boss fight. :P

I didn't say that it was good, I said that it was the best in the series. There's a difference. :P

Thanks guys!

I LOVED Lost Legacy. I'd probably rank them...

1. Uncharted 4
2. Uncharted 3
3. Lost Legacy
4. Uncharted 2
5. Uncharted 1
6. Golden Abyss

I enjoyed every game in the series, but I can't say I can remember a single great boss fight.
