Uncharted Collection – review | The Guardian

Sometimes it's all in the execution. Fundamentally, the Uncharted games – re-released together here in anticipation of part three's arrival later this year – are risibly derivative boilerplate. Centred on the exploits of wisecracking treasure hunter Nathan Drake, they follow an Indiana Jones formula of shootouts, daredevil acrobatics and triple-crossing love interests, garnished with enough priceless antiquities to make Neil MacGregor giddy. These cliches are, however, delivered with such disarming amiability and impeccable attention to detail that they become not just forgivable but positively enjoyable.

Yeah. People could just refer to the reviews of the games that were written when the games came out.

But no, apparently people are too dumb to do that.

I'm wondering what "risibly" means.

Johnny_Cojones4701d ago (Edited 4701d ago )

risible-
1 a : capable of laughing b : disposed to laugh
2 : arousing or provoking laughter; especially laughable

3 : associated with, relating to, or used in laughter <risible muscles>
— ris·i·bly

Interesting. I would have thought it was some sort of dig at, say, people of Asian cultures not being able to say certain vowels.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species?
