I just switched Uncharted 4’s difficult to Explorer (lower than “easy” mode) because the combat is..

Really enjoyed the combat myself, Uncharted 4 is better than the first 3 games combined in my view.
I'm crap at shootbang games, but played through UC4 on crushing until I hit the same wall a lot of people did. Think you're just doing it wrong, OP.
Op's take is super hot. Calls the game janky and dies 5 ties in a row on regular difficulty. Sounds like a personal problem, poor gaming skills and or slow reflexes. Combat in U4 is excellent and fun with spot on responsive controls. Maybe this game is not for you OP.
I've always had series issue with the gameplay in Naughty Dog games, including The Last of Us which is better than Uncharted.
I'm like you (TC) with Uncharted 4 found the whole experience frustrating and to be honest quite boring, for me no Naughty Dog game is a masterpiece or even a great game in my eyes because of this. I've found a post I made a little while ago about Uncharted 4 itself and I still stand by this:
Just my opinion, I don't think others are wrong for loving these games and I can see why people do - but they aren't really for me and the above are the reasons why I think that.

I only care about one thing: Did Explorer difficulty fix your issues with the game, OP, and allow you to have fun?
It does have its place. The problem is it's used for literally every game whose controls someone doesn't like.
I don't. TLoU isn't a shooter but an action adventure survival horror game with a very heavy focus on stealth and melee combat.
Yeah It is bad. I didn't like U4 at all beside how pretty it and the face mocap.
I feel like you OP about every shooter with humans as enemies. It's getting absurd the rambo mass murderer style with every console generation and it graphics realism. I rather shoot robots or zombies to be completly honest

I personally love the combat in the series, and I feel like Hard is the best difficulty to play, just like The Last of Us. I just wish they'd go back to the supernatural bullshit, the enemy variety really suffers from them giving up on that.
I sort of get the feeling they ditched the supernatural enemies because they wanted to take the story in a more serious direction, but The Last of Us is even more serious and we fight very well designed not-zombies all the time in that game, and the story didn't suffer in any way. Quite the opposite, having a tangible threat for the player allows us to feel the danger of the cordyceps in some small way ourselves, instead of just hearing about it from the dialogue. Similarly, no matter how many times Nate says "that was close, I almost died" during platforming, the player is just holding forward. The story benefits from having a more tangible sense of threat.

I dunno, if it was Uncharted 1-3 you were talking about I might get it, but U4 & TLL to me has some of the most fluid and enjoyable TPS combat in games. I still play some multiplayer here and there just because how damn fun it is. Jumping, swinging, climbing all over the place? There's nothing else out there like it. Tomb Raider comes close I guess, but it doesn't have MP and something was just off about it overall imho. Input lag maybe?
I have no clue what this GIF means as a reply to my post but lmao I am definitely saving this one for use in group chats who is this guy
What I was thinking. Combat in red dead makes uncharted look masterful.
I'm surprised at the amount of people that love Uncharted 4's combat and don't enjoy the exploration. It's like the exact opposite of me. I didn't find the combat hard, just boring as crap. I dreaded the combat, cause it always felt like something I had to slog through to continue the game.
As far as I'm concerned, if you took the combat from Tomb Raider, the story from Uncharted, and blended the exploration from both, you'd have an amazing game.

Same. Didn't mind the combat but I was more invested in the exploration and story.
That's me in a nutshell. I've just finished the game. It took me over three weeks as I could only do a chapter or two at a time before I felt my interest waning. Most unusual as I've loved the previous three. Didn't like Sam Drake at all.
One of the bonus unlocks at the end - Cell Shading - looks brilliant. Borderlands meets Uncharted. I want to play through it again in this mode sometime but it'll be a good year or so before I go back to it - maybe not until PS5 comes along and we get a 60fps patch or something.
I love exploration, I just don't think Uncharted 4 has much of it in any meaningful way, especially in the climbing sections.
after the initial patch, nope. 3 had better combat than 2 and 1. and that patch came in early.
Never touched the vita game, but one was fine at the time it released, dated now. But 1 also did stuff that was ahead of its time and the series lost afterwards, such as how reactive enemies where. Hit location of your shots actually caused enemies to react to where the shot landed, and near misses the enemies even reacted to as if the bullet nearly hit them. They greatly reduced this and removed some of the hit reactions in 2 which was a bummer. Course part of what made 1's combat slippery for many was that the enemies were too fluid, constantly moving and reacting to each bullet hit, which in shooters players are not used too. In most shooters enemies don't react to getting hit or they stagger in place making for easy follow up. The more realistic movements in 1 was cool, but made it difficult to land consecutive shots when hitting someone in the arm or leg would have them fall over or spin around. 1 had some amazing tech involved that didn't go over well for some folks.
In 3 they completely screwed the pooch and removed enemy reactions to force feed us the cinematic melee. You can pump round into round into bad guys who don't even flinch at bullets hitting them, and they loved to run directly at you as you pumped bullets into them, again cause the game wanted you to melee enemies.
Nah, the AI was the worst, the enemies acted like bullet sponges, and all the forced melee was bad. AI reactions were greatly suppressed, you would have to dump a half a mag from a pistol into someone to stop them from charging you once their charge routine was initiated.
I see the "uncharted is so unrealistic, guy is basically a murderer" thing still apply to this game only.
Sounds like you op just lack basic console shooter skill and are blaming the game. U4 has the best combat out of all the games. In SP people were mad because it's not a big part of it as in past games and it's better this go.
Either there is something wrong with your control or you need to modify the control settings to meet your "skill".
Oh and drop the "so many enemies it's unrealistic " thing. You are posting in a gaming forum where we all play fictional games of the main character killing tons of npcs. Give it a rest.

i wonder how much of it is just objectively bad controls. not that that would be totally uncharted's fault, mind, playing shooters on a controller sucks. period. playing red dead 2 had reminded me how trash dual sticks are for shooters.
every game should have gyro aiming

2 and 4 have pretty solid combat for me - I wish 4 gave you more room to work with the cool traversal mechanics without being brought to 20% health while swinging from A to B even on normal difficulty, but I really enjoyed my replay of the game a couple of months ago. TLL had better combat though thanks to having more options with to the improved stealth and silenced pistol.
Combat was a much bigger issue for me in 3 but the thread isn't about that so I'll leave it.

UC4 is the only game in the series with good combat. Well I did enjoy Golden Abyss quite a bit due to great gyro aiming.
