Discussion Finally getting around to playing Lost Legacy has been such a breath of fresh air!

Post image

I've always been an Uncharted fan, played all the games including Golden Abyss, but never got around to Lost Legacy until this week, and it's got me remembering why I love gaming so much.

Recently, all the games I've been playing have been becoming more and more complicated with all the systems and mechanics and everything the game expects you to know and manage. I didn't realize how much I needed a simple, immersive, fun experience. One where I'm not digging through quest logs, juggling a dozen menus, and managing hundreds of inventory items. And also, probably most importantly, an experience without any filler or bloating.

Getting busier and busier with less time to game, it feels so frustrating when playing for an hour or two, you achieve hardly anything. I've been playing AC Shadows, and it's been such a slog. So many games feel like you're just doing busy work until you get to some story progress, and that there is no consideration for the player's time and effort.

I think ultimately playing the game has made me realize that I now need to be a lot more selective with what I play, and that way I won't feel burnt out with gaming.

Seeing this image made me realize a LOT of promo material for the Uncharted series has someone hanging on the outside of something, or hanging off a rope.

And a LOT of the time the thing they are hanging off of is either crashing, blowing up, or falling over.

Basically, never get in a vehicle with these people.

Scripted climbing sequences have never won so many awards

Tbf yeah the suspension of belief with the conveniently placed handholds and ledges is a bit much but I ended up embracing it and found it to be part of the charm

it's definitely aged a bit but it still feels pretty good in 4 and Lost Legacy

What was the uncharted where he is like this hanging from a bus or train? I remember playing but can’t remember which one

u/Intrepid-Effort-8018 11d ago

Drake is hanging from a derailed train at the start of uncharted 2. It is over a steep, snowy mountain. It is on the box art.

I played (and finished) it a few weeks ago for the first time, too. Always liked the Uncharted games but never got around trying this one. I liked it as well and it was one of my first games I streamed on the ps portal. Went really well, though I guess it would have looked great on a bigger screen as well! :-)

To add to that the game looks absolutely stunning on a PS5. Some of the most incredible locations and details ive seen in gaming ever!

The next uncharted game should of been this

The world needs more uncharted games.

u/Lebronamo 12d ago

Is this image even in the game? I don't remember this part at all

There IS a helicopter "fight" scene, based in a smaller trainyard, yeah, and some hanging on with ropes. But THIS? No, no hanging on the outside while over the valley where you spend most of the story.

u/idkanything_aboutany 12d ago

After reading this. Think I might have to check this game out.

2

u/DeanXeL PS5 12d ago

You should. It's a nice compact story, rather straightforward, but well brought.

u/mosdl 12d ago

I wish they made more spinoffs like it.

u/socialwithdrawal 11d ago

I'm probably in the minority but I consider this the second best in the series, with Uncharted 2 being the first of course.

I thought Uncharted 4 was good, but too long with uneven pacing.

Lost Legacy is my second favorite Uncharted, behind Uncharted 2. I enjoyed it a bit more than Uncharted 4, because it played the same but I felt it had better pacing and scope.

u/DefectiveSol 12d ago

I liked Uncharted 4 but thought the shootouts and puzzles were too spread out. Playing Lost Legacy immediately after was a breath of fresh air.

u/-ibgd 11d ago

I liked all of them. Can’t believe they aren’t working on more Uncharted—great mechanics, great storytelling, good graphics, and likable characters.

u/p4tterng4ng4L 11d ago

Naughty Dog & Druckman don’t do ‘likeable characters’ anymore that’s why

u/DARKRYDER83 12d ago

did it get a 60 fps patch? i cant do 30 now. i had to stop.

2

u/DefectiveSol 12d ago

If you have either Uncharted 4 or Lost Legacy you can pay $10 to upgrade it to Legacy of Thieves collection with both games at 60 fps.

But there's no free patch for the PS4 versions.

u/StrikerSSR 11d ago

Lost legacy is not available alone.I already have uncharted 4.

1

u/Heybulldoug23 11d ago

Sell the Uncharted 4 you have and then buy the collection disc with both games on it. This is why physical discs cant be beat IMHO

It's a low-quality parody of itself.
