Got bored of Uncharted. I was wrong-ish. It's still an impressive game for its time, but after four hours I kinda realised I was doing the same thing over and over.

Started with another old game - Bioshock. I really can't get into modern games. They're too big.

Uncharted started an annoying trend that I see in loads of AAA games these days - rock climbing sections.

Every fucking game makes you stop what you’re doing for a few seconds to climb up a fucking cliff wall and shimmy across ledges. Pretty sure it’s to mask loading screens but it still annoys the fuck out of me.

Same as the exceedingly long lift bits in RE8, 100% to do with loading areas but am pretty sure that's how they do it in the TLOU with the dialogue sections where you can still walk/jog but not run. The way games load/render is changing anyway with the new unreal engine 5.1 update, when they've fully maxed out what they can with the PS5 capabilities we will see some stunning looking games.

Games will always have to load sections, they're just getting better at hiding them.

Speaking of RE8 I'm currently playing through the DLC, which is pretty fun.
