Yeah same, if I wanted to watch a movie I'll watch a movie. Not 3hrs of cutscenes. The Uncharted series doesn't let the game or gameplay tell you the story. I just want something more thoughtful from a game.

Just because it's structured more like a film doesn't mean it can't be "thoughtful". It explores themes about ambition and relationships with absolutely terrific writing.

And if you're really looking to read, the collectables tell the story about the pirate colony, why it was founded, why it fell, etc. It's hardly a shallow game.

You just apparently don't like the genre, which is fine. But there's nothing less "thoughtful" about taking a cinematic, linear approach to storytelling. A lot of games would improve if they took a more linear approach (Mafia III).

It does a great job of telling a story but the story isn't thoughtful enough to make you feel something special for those characters. It's done well, it is extremely polished. The game is everything we have seen in previous games. Yes it is a great game but damn is it boring.

Like I said previously, maybe it's Nathan's white bread. But probably a combination of story delivery and near zero reliability to myself.

Edt:

Agree with this.

Listen I don't hate linear. I enjoy some recent linear stories like the Tomb Raider reboot(not Rise) and DOOM. HL2 and Portal 2 are my top 2 GOAT games. Doesn't get more linear than those titles. What all those games do different that Uncharted does not do for me is make me feel something for the characters in the story. A good story starts with emotional investment in the characters or people in that world.
