Everything GREAT About Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception! (Aka "Set Piece: The Game")

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

this game has some of my favorite nate and elena moments, genuinely. obviously thief's end as a whole takes the cake in that department, but i always just loved that little moment when nate stumbles back to elena's apartment and he looks at her ring and apologizes before falling asleep, with elana's"i know". such great, subtle voice acting communicating so much about their relationship and i never seen anyone giving it the respect it deserves

[@The_RayBlast]

19:10 the game genre you’re thinking of is called a light gun game, because the gun you use has ir light that the screen can detect which registers where you shot. The GOAT of these games is the Time Crisis series. I believe Time Crisis 4 or 5 has a section or two where your shooting robot bugs like this.

[@dantesparda8524]

You have good taste

[@HaydrogenBomb]

Yup. Time Crisis is where my mind went, too.

[@DiscountDante]

My mind went to sega’s “let’s go jungle!” It was one of my favorite arcade games. And the arcade I went to had a giant version where there’s a door and it would close. And the seat spins so you’d shoot from the back of the jeep to the front while your seat physically spun. And the vibrations the plastic guns was amazing. i think that game was partly the reason i have arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and megalophobia. (fear of things bigger than you.

[@Kostas_epic_gamer]

The reason uncharted 3 is my favourite uncharted is: 1. The characters and their dialogue, especially the first half with Chloe and Cutter(my beloved which is one of my TOP uncharted characters ❤️) If only they had more time to focus more on the story and the characters it would be the best uncharted game. 2.The gameplay is par amazing with uncharted 4 3.The music in this game SLAPS THE MOST in this series!! 4. The multilayer WAS ONE OF DA BEST online games l have ever played 🔥🔥🔥.It had plenty of modes,maps,funny skins and emotes that were amazing and of course after 2 years they putted it F R E E !!! Also the split screen was pure fun playing with my brother. It is a crime that they didn't bring any of it on the remastered version and updating the game because uncharted 4 was not as fun as un3. 5. It had Victor god damn Sullivan !!! 🔥🚬 6. It had INSANE environments and graphics that were jaw dropping for the ps3❤🔥

I truly enjoy Uncharted 3’s story. My only issue is the Nathan/Elena breakup repetition. The fact that it keeps happening makes you wonder if it would be better off with them parting ways

[@jasonl8681]

Uncharted 3 I played when it came out, having given the first two a shot based purely off the hype generated by the trailers for 3. It's also worth noting there was a fun youtube series where Troy Baker and Nolan North (before Troy split the channel) played through each uncharted game (and the Last of Us Pt1) in their entirety with guest appearances from Amy Hennig, and the other cast members, it's well worth a watch!

Bit of a fun fact: Graham McTavish played Cutter as well as the main antagonist in Uncharted 2

[@shawnzt4782]

Yeah I played and completed all the Uncharted games only a few years ago, and on my initial playthrough, I actually liked Uncharted 3 the most out of the first 3. Yes it has some plot conveniences, and I wish they had gone deeper with some of the characters, but the gameplay, set pieces and humor were all still top notch, and honestly that scene with Elena and Drake after he stumbles into her room after escaping abduction is one of my favorite moments in the entire series, and it has quite a bit of emotional depth, in no small part because of the performances. Despite its flaws, I still love this game!

[@DeadpoolLIFE69]

This was actually my first Uncharted game, I had played The Last of Us first and found out about the series afterwards. I still remember getting this game for my birthday and popping it into my PS3, being absolutely blown away by just how insane the set pieces are. Uncharted 2 and 4 are still my favorites overall but Uncharted 3 holds a place in my heart because it was the first one I played, y'know? Great video as always, and I can't wait to see you talk about Uncharted 4!

[@Loseph2l]

I had the Nathan Drake collection on my ps4. It included the first three games, and I loved them. I was very sad when the ps4 stoped working.

[@JeffMakesGames]

19:10 Arcade game with gun and foot pedal? Do you mean the Time Crisis series? I think it was the first arcade shooter that actually started you in cover and pressing the foot pedal brought you out of cover so you could shoot enemies. Releasing the foot pedal let you hide/dodge attacks and also, reloaded your handgun ammo. Third game in the series introduced new weapons that you could swap between. The music in the game series is a banger though.

[@pavansreevatsav414]

As for the pirate arc ,its actually one of best action scenes in the game,I loved it ,I loved playing it,it made me feel like I am nathan drake , that's what the game is all about,at the end uncharted 3 is one of the best games for me ...ever

[@quietdemon8138]

It’s interesting you say that you wanted Charlie to be around longer because that was actually the original intention but during development of the game Charlie’s actor Graham McTavish (who also played Zoran Lazarevic) was cast as one of the dwarfs in The Hobbit trilogy meaning he had to move to New Zealand for the year long production that’s why Charlie abruptly leaves the story

[@CJIEnOuBOBR]

Hot take: U3 isn't better than U2, but it definitely isn't worse. U3 expands on things that were (in my opinion) lacking in U2 like the story (say what you want, but Yugoslavian soviet-style merc massacring the Tibetian villages, Na*i Annenerbe zoldiers and immortal mutants are not as original as it may seem, and definitely not better than "Indiana Jones meets Oceans eleven" story about lost medieval city). Also character developments and interactions are amazing. So it's all about a personal preferences, and not some objective flaws (as U2 had them too). Overall, the whole series is a one big masterpiece and master class in storyrelling.

[@jean-lucpilon2586]

I unfortunately got the trilogy when it was on the PS4. And got Uncharted 4 with the system. I honestly loved the series as a fun time and laugh from all the jokes quips and banter. I did take the time to find all the treasures hidden throughout the game on all 4 games. (Still having a hard time on Lost Legacy) But this series will always be there for some fun and laughs with a great story to listen to as you play.

[@christianfarren1179]

Idk, I grew up with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft, so I enjoyed the story of this series all the way through (I played them much later in life, same boat as you, GW). It's not Shakespeare, but it keeps you wondering, "What happens now?" My only peeves are the final boss fights (never been a fan of gimmick battles, and the checkpoints don't help if you mess up) and low replay value. Playing Drake's Fortune through to A Theif's End feels like watching a complete film series back-to-back. It's a great time, but you'll be exhausted by the end of it.

I recently played uncharted 1 to 3 in like a week or 2 time each (cuz I can’t speed run and neglect other games man I payed money) and so far uncharted 3 was the best in my opinion in story characters conflict guns (debatable to U2) hand to hand combat etc and out of the first 3 in my opinion the best (But if we include uncharted 4 U4 winning big time I know even tho I havnt finished it rn)

My overall opinion on the Uncharted games is that 1 hasn't aged well, 2 is a really solid adventure, 3 is the perfect playable dumb action movie with character exploration (this game is likely my second favorite and easily the most replayable for me), and 4 is the perfect sendoff to the franchise with easily the best story and best overall game. I do think 4 is really hard to replay though, as the opening is fairly long with minimal action. Lost Legacy has its fun moments, but it can feel really awkward at points.

[@baggy_exe1741]

Uncharted 3 is my entrance in the series, I know people say "Your first game is your favorite" and I understand. But Uncharted 3 was bottlenecked by TLOU, they made two teams to make U3 and TLOU and in the end people say the TLOU team was the best cuz of the good story, graphics, gameplay etc... ( It also won a GOTY so...). I’m not saying I hate TLOU, it’s actually a close second favourite game of mine. But people just say U3 was bad cuz of the story, some people said it was underdeveloped (no shit) cuz TLOU team had some devs from Uncharted 2 who couldn't wait to work on the next Uncharted but guess what Neil Druckmann had some other Ideas. Look at the behind the scenes footage on the ps3 version (@Playstation and @PSGlitchers have them uploaded on his channel) where the developers talk what they did to make the game look good or etc, they actually put so much work in this one. If you watch them all, you can see a good amount of devs from U2 aren't in the U3 BTS videos. That shows how many devs were pushed to work on U3. They did research on the Atlantis of the Sand, Lawrence of Arabia's death and more research than they did before on the other games. Also the Soundtrack is at it's peak in all games (Greg Edmonson outdid himself). Even Nolan North, Richard McGonagle played it (on the formerly known Retro Replay channel, now called Couch Soup), and said that U3 was their favorite because there was more Sully but also because they enjoyed making it. And Richard McGonagle even hated making U4 cuz Amy Hennig was fired and Neil had to work on it. But people nowadays say Uncharted 2 or 4 or even Lost Legacy is their favorite, because you either entered the franchise too late (Because of the Legacy of Thieves collection) or you follow the trend with other people. I'm not saying Uncharted 2/4/LL was bad, I'm saying that they're overrated (maybe LL not). But you calling it a joke is not cool. People don‘t appreciate it because of the story or some other reason. But the Multiplayer was the reason I bought the game, my friend said it was a crazy good Multiplayer and I bought it no questions asked. I don’t remember if I played the Story or the Multiplayer, but I loved the story and the father and son relationship with Sully and Nate. But people saying it’s the worst in the franchise is not true. Uncharted 3 won some awards and (like I said) people loved its gameplay, multiplayer, etc…
