It’s that time again. Time for a couple of hundred people to become sad and dejected while one person starts shouting stiff from the rooftops. Yes, it’s time to announce another competition winner – this time for the Special Edition of Uncharted 4 that we’re giving away thanks to our friends at Ster-Kinekor Entertainment.
As a reminder, here’s what’s in the thing:
- UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End
- Collectible Steelbook Case
- 48-Page Hardcover Art Book by Dark Horse
- Naughty Dog & Pirate Sigil Sticker Sheet
- Uncharted Points: in-game currency to unlock various multiplayer content
And the lucky human being (I hope!) who’s won it is:
Hilton Russel! Congratulations Hilton – we’ll be in touch soon to organise delivery of your prize. If you’ll recall, we loved the hell out of the game.
“Most importantly,” we said in our review, “it adds closure. There’s no cheap set-up for a sneaky sequel, no cliffhanger ending. Just the door fittingly closing on a series of great – if unfortunate – adventures. While I wouldn’t go so far as to call Uncharted 4 the greatest game that’s ever been made, it is indeed a remarkable one, and undoubtedly the best the Uncharted series has to offer.”

Nice one. I am LOVING the game, it has Assassins Creed, Tom Clancy Stealth, Black Flag underwater exploring, Tomb Raider platforming, Gears of War cover shooting, Last of Us story telling, Just Cause grappling, GTA driving, the best facial animations EVER, best mo-cap EVER, best explosions with shadows cast on them, BEST sounding explosions EVER, best set Pieces EVER and longer than 3.5 CODs.
10/10
After 35 years of gaming this takes the cherry on top.

Are you a Tenno or Baritone?
(Trick question)
Pariah
May 16, 2016 at 09:44
Somewhere between Tenor & Baritone, but with training can easily hit the Countertenor notes. I haven’t had classical training in a while though.
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:17
You have failed the answer

How’d you like it?
Pariah
May 16, 2016 at 09:59
It’s fun. I can see why people say it’s grindy, but it’s not that grindy. Just not instant gratification really. Nice short chunks of play too. Idk, we’ll see. Probs going to go Saryn as my first non-starter frame. Just need to finish Jupiter’s boss.
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 10:08
That’s how it starts. 😉
When I logged in on Sat morning I was just planning to set my extractors, do a quick mission, then head off. But then I got a 3 hour affinity booster as a login reward, so spent 3 hours levelling & formaing gear in my happy place, and a few minutes before that expired I found a rare crate that gave me a 30 min credit booster so went on to do credit runs. And by then it was nearly time to retrieve my extractors so I carried on until those were ready. 😀
Pariah
May 16, 2016 at 10:11
Well I have 29 Steam hours logged, but 14 of those were on Friday while updating from the launcher. It’s so dumb how Steam counts launcher time as game time. Anyway, 15 hours isn’t bad for a weekend. But yes, this is how it starts. And I have been looking for a fun time-sink. Soon I’ll be grinding stuff for that next Mastery level and trying to farm Primes.
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:17

That new heavy rifle is fun as well!

Did you have any better luck over the weekend? We got what, the bo handle & a wyrm part?
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:15
I’ve got all the parts 🙂
Needed LokiP systems, but VikingofScience had one spare!
Traded him some other Prime parts he needed, 2x the win!
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 10:17
Sweet!
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:20
LokiP busy building.
And with all the farming, I actually got the LexP parts I was(n’t) looking for
3x win!
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 10:21
I still need the bp for that silly thing. Got so many receivers & barrels that I’ve flogged for ducats.
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:22
Yeah got the BP out of the blue, was like, WUT?
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 10:24
I checked my codex on the weekend, there are exactly 5 melee, 5 primary & 5 secondary weapons I need heh. What nice symmetry.
Ottokie
May 16, 2016 at 10:35
Nezha is finally building for me. Now if the illustrious Atlas systems would drop that would be done and only Saryn P would be left to farm for current frames.
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 10:38
2nd last sortie season I got Nehza chassis, last season I got systems, this season I got… chassis & systems. Sigh. The helmet & one lens are the only things that haven’t dropped.
Ottokie
May 16, 2016 at 10:38
If I get a double it’s all yours since the helmet has not dropped for me this season
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 10:46
Yay 😀
Btw I’ve still got all those AW mods waiting.
Ottokie
May 16, 2016 at 10:48
Sweet, will pick them up tonight if you are online…and maybe twist your arm for another Atlas sys run 😛

Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:51
What did you need?
Ottokie
May 16, 2016 at 10:52
Bo Ornament. Kept selling them for ducats not knowing I needed 2 xD
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:54
Bwahahahaha oh the humanity!
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 10:57
And T1 survival is so dull. Just have to look at them & they die.
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 10:59
I need to find somewhere where I can farm the snot out of Orokin cells :/
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 11:03
Dark sector missions are usually good for them. Otherwise keep your extractors on Ceres & Saturn – every now & again you’ll get lucky.
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 11:10
That I do, but that rewards me once in 99 tries
Ottokie
May 16, 2016 at 11:05
When Helene on Saturn is infested, Orokin cells rain from the sky
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 11:11
Thanks, will try that.
Helene used to be a cell-fest, but got patched about 5 patches back
Ottokie
May 16, 2016 at 11:12
Then it might be fixed. Over the years I have not really had a need for farming cells, but I do notice a distinct lack of drops these days.
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 11:13
I’m more likely to get Argon crystals than cells.
Ottokie
May 16, 2016 at 11:14
This is a known bug. If you look for them nothing drops, go for some fun Void runs 10+ every 20 min
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 11:15
Ditto.
18 Argon crystals
2 Cells
Only Corrupted Vor poops them out
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 11:16
Do a T3D & take Nekros with?
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 11:17
I was thinking of doing derelict survival, I think they drop there as well.
Else just taking Nekros to a Saturn survival and keep on desecrating
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 11:19
I was using him this weekend for omega isotope farming. One guy was following me around so closely he may as well have been my shadow heh.

And check invasion missions, you can get a cell as a reward for completing them occasionally.
Admiral Chief Protector
May 16, 2016 at 11:15
ONE cell!
I need like 20 of them
Alien Emperor Trevor
May 16, 2016 at 11:16
One cell guaranteed ;P

May 16, 2016 at 11:19
