An Uncharted Retrospective

[@DelcoAirsoft]

Calling Eddy Raja forgettable is one of the almighty travesty’s in the last eon. His cutscene in the prison and the quote “Buka Pintu” that happens prior to that level will go down as two of the greatest moments in the franchise.

[@DiamondBlade11]

I loved Raja.

[@P0150Ngmod]

i wished he survived and show in the sequels

[@zef9151]

Eddy is MUCH more rememberable than the actual villans of U1. I replayed U1 a month ago and have already forgotten their names

Uncharted 4 is my absolute favorite. Story hits harder after I got married. The story hits EVEN HARDER when I started having serious issues with my older brother. This game is so good and, in regards to its nuanced scenes, very relatable to me.

Uncharted 2 was the reason why I fell in love with this game. The opening gameplay was the best way to attract me to play this game. What made it more attractive, found one random video of gameplay with no commentary, but some dialog editing of the player himself what made me love it even more at that time. I wonder where that video now. I missed it so much

[@BrayJones3]

The voice actor of sully openly said Amy hennig was fired and removed against her will, the cast went on strike temporarily hence some of the delay, why does every video seem to ignore that and paint Neil druckmann to be some sort of hero he got her fired and immediately presented himself as a woke feminist to avoid the backlash

[@tannerbarnes7072]

That train sequence in uncharted 2…. Uncharted series at its very best.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

43:30 I actually read somewhere (in an interview with someone on the game's audio team) that uncharted 4's level of technical audio quality was higher than major Hollywood blockbusters. So yeah, this game sounds absolutely fantastic 😍

[@wplays4271]

I was honestly surprised to see your sub count. I found this video in my recommended. And with how professionally this was made, I was surprised with how small your channel actually is. Kudos man, I hope you can reach 1K

[@cokerfilms2901]

I played through the entire series for the first time during COVID. Back to back. Being able to see the story unfold in that way leading all the way up to Uncharted 4 really was an emotional experience for me. I wish I could erase and go again. Uncharted 4 will forever be, my most favorite game of all time.

[@94frankiec]

Honestly this video came up on my recommended page, and after watching and looking through the other videos I’m shocked that the view counts aren’t higher! They’re so well scripted and made and you can tell a lot of effort and love was put into them! This guy deserves the numbers this video is making 👏🏼👏🏼

[@whalleyreviews]

As someone who has never played any of these games, I can honestly say this video has got me thinking I should finally give them a try! Haha! Another fantastic video, Arin! Well worth the wait!

i remembered how goosebumps i am when play Uncharted 2. and uncharted 4... I'm glad with how it's end and no more. I'm satisfied, fully. I'm afraid if there's anymore uncharted, it's gonna be nothing more than cooperate try to milking the franchise than continued with love and care. rather than keep dragging on, better go out with bang eh?

[@robogreek3157]

There won't be more... if so it won't be nathan

[@JadenPlayerOne]

I love Uncharted so much! We're roughly the same age, so I get some of your thoughts. Uncharted 3 and Uncharted 4 are probably my two faves, personally!

[@findingmariaselvis]

Great video! Also fun fact, Cutter was supposed to be in more of Uncharted 3. The actor who played him learned he got a role in the Hobbit films during the making of the game (which meant having to go to New Zealand for filming), and that's why the Cutter is just abruptly gone after breaking his leg.

[@shibby-not-available]

So they cut his screen time? Get it? Cut... Cutter? Okay, I'm leaving

[@palmtreecorpse]

I've been binging Uncharted video essays because of nostalgia. This series has always held a special place in my heart, from getting the first game on christmas morning as a kid and my parents watching me play the entire thing and being sucked into the story and were just as invested as I was. I love every single one of these games with all their flaws, I think Uncharted 4 is one of the best endings to any game franchise ever, replaying it as an adult too really makes the emotional weight of the game much more poignant. Beautiful soundtracks, captivating story telling, and characters that are worldly and show they feel like you and me. Uncharted is a shining example of how video games can be compelling pieces of art

[@itsaboutwhatsfair1532]

Uncharted for life❤😢

[@antp2004]

i’m pretty sure charlie being written out of uncharted 3 actually has something to do with the actor. i forgot exactly but i think he had scheduling conflicts or something

[@darkjaden-fe]

Yeah this video just served to remind me why Rafe is the only Uncharted villain whose name I actually remembered. He's also, coincidentally, the hottest Uncharted villain.

The story in Uncharted 3 is not the best, but you can't deny the music and I must say that the part with the wrecked ships is one of my favorites.

[@Emelenyt]

This is the high level of quality I aspire to make in my videos. It's amazing to see from a small channel like yours. Keep putting out videos like this and you will explode in views and subs, and I'm here to see it happen! Uncharted is a great game series and 4 is the only one I haven't played. I played 1, 2 and 3 in 2020/2021 for the first time and they were fun, though I agree with all of your points on the third game. I'm glad it was only about 8 hours long and I could smash it out in a couple days.

Holiday 2011. My dad's getting me a PS3 for Christmas and i've never played an HD console before. There are a few bundles at Best Buy and after going in the store with him and playing the mansion on fire level of U3 on a demo display, i tell him i want the Uncharted bundle. Not long after i also got U1 and U2. And this series was forever forged into my heart. I never did get a ps4, but i was full of excitement when U4 was revealed. Just now in 2022, i'm finally able to play U4 on my PC. This series is always close to me

(i did graduate, barely, but i did so worked out i guess)

The uncharted series is the entire reason I bought a PlayStation. ❤ I dont regret this decision.

[@Jose_Ole_Posole]

Grew up a Nintendo and Xbox kid so I never got to play any uncharted games before. Well, this Christmas that just passed I was fortunate enough to be gifted a PS5. Seeing as how I haven’t played any of these games I immediately downloaded the Nathan Drake collection along with Uncharted 4. I’m staring with part 2 cause I remember that game being all my PS friends would talk about back then and working my way to #4. 1st ever play thru of any uncharted game I kinda feel like I should record my play thru and throw it online hahaha

[@TheLikenessOfNormal]

The first one aged the worse and does have forgettable villains, but you should start with the first one. The games all reference eachother at some points and I think the experience is richer for playing it in order. Though you've missed out on the legendarily fun multiplayer of Uncharted 2

[@ripewatermelonlol]

I also think like the guy above me that you should start with the first one. After seeing the quality of life improvements in the latter games you’ll prolly find the first clunky. Whenever I play the first one it’s purely out of nostalgia.

Lost Legacy was painful cause they put Nadine Ross as one of the leads. She only becomes likeable in the last quarter of the story where it's all set pieces and on rails essentially. The reason the game is painful cause of Nadine Ross isn't that she's unlikeable most of the story, its that she's playing the victim, the moral highground AND rewriting history. The big way that she rewrites the game's history (something Druckmann has a problem with as the original version of TLoU featured documents showing that the fireflies had failed every operation done on someone like Ellie before, thus justifying Joel more thoroughly in standing against their utilitarian method. However in the 2nd one cause Abby needs to be morally justified in murdering him, apparently they had never failed the operation and it was going to be a rousing success and the fireflies didn't have any of the fascist undertones they had in the first game.) The history of the game is rewritten because when she's in charge Shoreline mercs are all talking about all the illegal immoral warmongering, weapons dealing and coup de'tats they commit across the world for profit and how they can't wait to keep doing it. Meanwhile in Lost Legacy she's giving this sob story about how she uplifted them from that and how under her Shoreline was this merciful group who doesn't work for warlords or do arms deals (literally tells you a story during the game about how during an arms deal a guy wouldn't sell to her cause she was a woman, so she broke both his legs) And as I think EVERYONE would agree that as much as Chloe was under-utilized in TLoU 3 SO IS CHARLIE CUTTER AND HE WAS A MAD LAD, WHY WOULD CHLOE NOT PARTNER UP WITH HER OLD BUDDY CHARLIE!?

[@ApacheKai2246]

In my opinion, Uncharted Golden abyss was a great title for the PS Vita, graphics wise it was good for the Vita. Pair to the other games. It's really not great graphics. But the story is pretty simple, but at the same time really interesting. The new original characters for this game was also great too, Like Chase was a nice add-on to the cast of characters. And Dante holy crap! What an annoying hilarious piece of crap person. Imagine Eddie raja but more screen time and money. The main character is pretty much the same thing as lazarovage, But not really flashed out if I could remember correctly. But the one thing I love about Golden abyss Is that The collectibles are more telling of the story of the environment of each level Nate is in. You collect collectibles like pictures (Nate has a camera. It was supposed to be a Vita flex, including a machete for some reason) and treasures, or scoured throughout all the levels and you can open up the journal and actually understand more of the story of your environment, which what makes this game so fun to replay. Not the best game but a great game for a handheld device.

Great Retrospective! 👍 Look forward to more of your videos I couldn't agree more on your analysis of Uncharted 3 The amount of people that think 3 is better than 2 or 4 blows my mind. To me the flaws in the story are so glaring. Visually, soundtrack and gameplay was great but the story exacution made it one of the most disappointing releases for me. And omg the shipyard is the worst level and story beat created the series 💀I despise it

Wish naughty dog hadn’t offloaded it to another developer for another installment

[@SidPhoenix2211]

It's for the best. If Sony wants a reboot or whatever, let someone else do it so that naughty dog can work on newer, more complex, and interesting things. They've got the factions 2 multiplayer coming out, prob tlou3 and maybe even a new IP. That's for more exciting than a new Uncharted game. Plus, the uncharted thing is still unconfirmed anyway.

Wish you had spoken a little bit about the multiplayer I'm not sure how many people really went into the multiplayer side of things in uncharted. Still, I have a significant bias toward uncharted 3 as my favourite game in the series, possibly because the multiplayer was really good. Also, the set pieces of the boating docks imo was a great part of the game, and I don't remember the story being all that bad or worse than uncharted 2s, but it's nice to think people are still making videos on my favourite gaming series and sharing their own opinions. My rankings (Defo not bias) Uncharted 3 multiplayer, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 4, Uncharted 3 (rest of the game), Uncharted 2 Multiplayer, Uncharted 1. I haven't played Chloes game yet.

[@siloPIRATE]

I know people love this franchise, but having played 1 through 4 (except 3, never finished 2 so never started 3), not sure I see why.
