Yeah, when I saw the NPCs only then did I realize that it was more about the world with a story woven into it. Also, if you see making videos of the game, you'll realize how much hard work they've put in with the amount of photographs they've taken to be made into textures.
With terms of texture beauty, animations and facial expressions and just graphics in general, I think Uncharted 4 has touched new heights. And if something can be that beautiful on a console then I'm assuming that most of the PC game developers are just plain lazy.
