How's about giving us something great about the incredible hulk ultimate destruction
@@adamhoward1408 I rember the indestructible cows in that game
You missed a cool detail at the start, something I only just now noticed watching this video. Nate stumbling over his words when he introduces himself to Chloe is hinting at their existing relationship. His friends call him Nate, including Chloe, she calls him Nate all the way through the games. He would be used to her calling him that, but quickly catches himself and introduces himself as "Nathan" to make it seem like they don't know eachother...might be reading too much into it, just feels like thats why he says "Nate..um Nathan Drake"
You can also notice he’s about to greet her like a friend so she cuts him off to greet him like a stranger, which he picks up on and tries to mirror.
For anyone reading this now, yeah Nate and Chloe knew each other beforehand. There's an official comic online that covers Nate's history with both Harry and Chloe.
It's an awesome read and you can find it online. Along with another comic showing us Nate and Eddy Raja's backstory
The ending conversation between Elena and Nate actually was adlibbed. There’s a UA-cam channel that had Nolan North and Troy Baker playing games together and talking about behind the scenes stuff and funny moments while filming and having guests on. The channel was called Retro Replay I think it’s called Couch Soup now or something like that. They played through Uncharted 1 & 2. Last of Us as well.
Yeah, Retro Replay kinda died with Troy leaving imo. They had Nolan on for some time longer but I think he's also just appearing in a couple of videos every once in a while now instead.
Nate stutters when he meets Chloe because they already have ‘history’😂 Flynn just doesn’t know that so they act that way
I love the Uncharted franchise.
I think my main hindsight criticism is that the train sequence drags on a bit too long but I do get why it does that.
I think it’s because that sequence is where the developers put the most effort in, so it kinda earns that length
I’ve got in writing by Amy Hennig in my academic literature that Uncharted 2 is a story about trust and betrayal. It’s not the most complicated thing, but remember that at the time, story games still weren’t all that (hell, in Uncharted 1, Amy, Neil and Josh don’t even get any credit for their writing) and to this day, games generally don’t put their actors in top billing the way movies do.
So for Naughty Dog, if you think about it, this is a big step up and at the time, this was pretty high standard for gaming. I mean really, it’s like with graphics, shit that comes first to the scene really leaves a mark. Remember that Toy Story (full cg), came out before Zelda Ocarina of Time, we’d already seen high quality computer generated imagery, but OoT’s polygon graphics blew everyone’s minds! This game took an established action protagonist and while the narrative isn’t what I’d call tightly structured, it’s chock full of actual character moments and it especially pushes its protagonist Nathan Drake to a kind of (at the time) unprecedented dark place where he just wants to give up. Every wrong turn gets to him and to have that sort intense up and down, highs and lows, it’s no small thing. You look back and go ”Yeah obviously Uncharted 4 has a way better story than this”, but let’s take it for what it was at the time. If we don’t, then imagine how many old things we’re gonna need to go back and denounce. Uncharted 2 is a solid action adventure that danced on the boundaries of what video game storytelling was at the time.
@preternatural Oh yes brainiac. I literally meant Uncharted 2 was literally the first game with a decent story you halfwit XD but if you pretend like Uncharted 2 wasn't well before the general onset of story-driven games it's you showing what an ignoramus you are lol.
Speaking of ignorance, your failure to even present a counter argument or so much as even bother to understand a single thing I wrote.
So don't talk to me about ignorance when history and even basic reading comprehension are not your forte XD
Maybe it was just me, but I really liked the moment during the ending cutscene where it faded from a gravely wounded Elena to Nate honoring a grave, a technique that would make you think Elena died, only for her to show up and we realized Nate is honoring Schafer, a man he barely knew. It was kind of a cheap death fake out, but I liked it nonetheless.
4:13 - I'm always amazed at how many people think this moment is, as they put it, "out of character for Drake, considering how many people he has killed in the past and how many he will kill in the future games".
The thing is, Nate doesn't want to use guns there because they're just innocent museum guards doing their job. They're not evil henchmen who work for the big villain of the story.
In all of the Uncharted games (including Golden Abyss, which is a prequel to U1) he's fighting pirates or mercenaries who are actively trying to kill him, so it's justifiable that he retaliates with lethal force.
Thanks. I was about to make that comment.
I don’t know why it’s so hard to tell that the character has morals
Wait, there are people who actually say that?? Just…What??
That’s really, really disappointing
I forgot how amazing Claudia Black's voice acting is in this game. Also if you think Chloe is a "Lara Croft lookin' knockoff", you should look up what Claudia Black looks like (:
About the Drake's Concious. Drake just doesn't like harming civs, he even tells Sam "easy on the civilians" in Uncharted 4.
I’m honestly disappointed by how little people really get Nate’s character and just resort him to just “hurr hurr, he kill people”
Easily the best Uncharted game. Everything from setting, characters, puzzles and story is so intriguing. I took this game for granted when I first played it back in 2011, but after getting the plat on the entire franchise, I am so happy that this is my favorite franchise
I looked it up and some of the ending really was adlibbed. Nolan North says that they had filmed the ending and Amy Hennig jumped in like "you want to jump in there and try something?" And they did. Such nice details
I'm so glad you doing a video on this game its my all time favourite and ut brings back so many good memories man keep up the work
Nobody cares
@@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou honestly nothing better to do than typing this, no? Oh ok loner
@@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou you do realize you could say this to literally anything and it would be just as pointless
That monster reveal scared the shit out of me the first time I played it. Had to take a break and walk around. So well done.
I just started replaying this game on hard mode, so glad the series is still getting reviewed.
Also 13:31 I’d pick Elena too , no doubts or questions.
Damn, at first I misread that as 'renewed' and I was pumped :(
@@wrathguy sorry
The part where Nathyan and Tenzin go explore that cave, while neither can understand what the other is saying, making them relly on non-verbal means of comunication is easly my favorite part in the entire game, and on of the best in the whole Uncharted series.
This is awsome as always. The one thing you pointed out that I never realised is the going down the throat part that it represents drinking the resin. That one made me go "huh interesting" out loud
Uncharted is definetly my favorite franchise. I love the carachters, and the feeling of it. Its like the feeling of watching a Pirates movie. Fun all the way. I like 4 the most becouse of sam and becouse it actually had a story
It's between the 2nd and the 4th for my favorites. My favorite scene from the second is the very end when Nate tells Elena clowns are more scary than her dying haha
With me owning the PS4 trilogy and the other 2 games as well, I love the banter as well as the story. When they play off each other it brings a smile and a good laugh. Also the human parts as well as the sad parts just make the series a great one to play.
Nothing brings me quite as much joy as when I get a notification from this channel. I know no matter what kind of day I'm having I'm in for a great video and it's guaranteed to make it better keep it up love your analysis. There almost always something you call attention to thar I may have missed that makes me want to go back and appreciate these games more on another playthrough.
YES! I've been waiting for more of Uncharted on this channel!!
"I know it's only been two games so far but it's still weird it happened twice" sounds like a Phineas and Ferb reference 😂
YES!!!!! MORE EDITOR INTERACTIONS!!!!!!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!! They are just fun and flow so well into these videos, you 2 bounce so well off each other i'd be surprised if you both didn't make one of these videos just winning little details you both noticed that the other didn't, i'd be lovely.
BEEN A LONG WAIT! Can't wait man, awesome stuff :)
Thanks for the time machine ride GW! Love this channel
It has been over a decade since I played this game. I still remember that "There's a guy above you" line and it still cracks me up.
Edit: And the pool line, that as well. On the hotel roof, if you jump in the pool Nate wants to play Marco Polo.
Really enjoying these videos of going over the good old games
Keep up the work man
Big thing with these games was that they were movies we could play. I mean it's like what Amy points out in TBBT about Raiders and Indy's relevance. There's not a lot of real narrative point or serious conflict to these. It's just about an exciting and entertaining show.
Man I love these series. Done one of my favs with the Ezio Trilogy now my fav series of all time you're the goat man
Your reference to Jaquan the Jequel makes me so happy
Im very excited to see if there is a video planned for the fourth game, but even then.. it would have to be a multi part video because damn that is a long game.
For those of us who got the plat, trying to beat Lazarevic on the hardest difficulty was an absolute pain in the arse. But I still remember the moment, even after all these years.
I love that your commentary on Uncharted. It's my all time favourite game!
Yo, found your channel recently, and idk if you take game suggestions, but if your looking for a older game that’s a bit different from the other ones you have on here, then I highly suggest you check out Cave Story (3D or +, either is fine). It’s been a favorite game of mine since I was a kid, but it’s more or less a lesser known game.
Sales pitch for it: you play as a robot who lost his memory’s and is stuck on a floating island inhabited by the mimiga race, who are basically sentient and speaking rabbit creatures. The gameplay itself is a 2D Metroidvania with more focus on the story and platforming. You collect weapons and items across the island to help you escape, or do whatever other ending you want to do.
I have beaten the game before, but only the normal good ending. There is a true ending, but I could never get past the final boss of that one (if you want to go for it, play through the game through the normal good ending first as betting the true end is something easier to do with a walkthrough.). The main character, Quote, has also appeared along with another character I won’t mention due to story stuff in some fighting games somewhat recently, but outside of that Cave Story is mostly left behind.
Regardless on wether you make a video on it or not (I noticed you like to put more AAA FPS/TPS games on here, so it might not fit) I still highly suggest you play it on your own time. The music is good, the art is great (remake art or not, though not a fan of 3D) and the game itself is a blast, in more ways then one. Cave Story+ is on steam, and has the original 2D art and the remastered 2D art both available, and Cave Story 3D is somewhere, the Wii I think? Maybe somewhere else I don’t know but that also exists (you might be able to tell but I’m not much of a fan of the 3D remake).
Anyway, enjoyed the video, do the fun work, and have a good day!
I've been playing the Uncharted games for myself recently, now I gotta get Drake's Deception played before your video on it comes out
Me: read "Shambala"
Also me, a FMA fan: I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE
i literarily started this game today after finishing 1 yesterday
funny thing about the mention of Lazaravic as a sleep paralysis demon, during the early version of the scene in the hotel room where Chloe climbs ontop of Nate, Chloe was replaced with Lazaravic as a gag. Also seriously if you want some fun Uncharted 1-3 BTS stories and such you should checkout the playthrough series Nolan North did on his youtube channel (with Troy Baker and guests like Amy Hennig, Emily Rose, Claudia Black and Graham McTavish and Richard McGonagle.)
Just finished watching Drake's Fortune gaming wins about 20 minutes ago. Nice
My absolute favourite game ever, its just so well done, I thank you for doing it justice by properly reviewing its greatness
Love to see you do uncharted 4 video too 😊
Man you missed the marco polo achievement. I know its not a big one but it definitely made me chuckle
This game holds a special place in my heart because Playstation blog held a contest back in 2009, and I had the luck to won it with another guy and be invited for a press conference with Arne Meyer (then Creative Director, today vice president) and Justin Richmond (Game Designer) a few weeks prior the release in an Hotel in Italy, I even had the chance to play the first levels and get live comments from them about some details of the game.
I remember it very well because I asked them if Uncharted 3 was already in developement (more than "In developement" I asked them if they alredy had ideas about a sequel or wanted to focus on something new) and they laughed at me because they couldn't say it loud, but they turned around the answer telling me that, after they played a lot with snow in U2, they wanted to take their time and play with sand instead, which ended being the element of choice of the next game.
I'm a Big fan of the Uncharted Saga, Lost Legacy and The Thief's End being such great games I love it too much
Nothing throws me off like heading Alistar and Morrigan from Dragon Age and cannot stop seeing the both of them whenever I hear’em in fhe game
Uncharted is one of my all time fave series and one of the main reasons I bought a PS3 when I had been Xbox for a while. I went to a Sony store when U2 came out and they had the full game up for play and I sat and played the middle train mission and then some (almost to the end) and was blown away. I think as a standalone game it may not match up as much but as a step into the character of Drake and the crew it does much more for the bigger picture
Finally after so long you're actually doing the uncharted series
I'm so glad I found this channel
20:58 I was getting Land before time flashbacks.
I am happy to let this series go as it is. I don't need more because it was such a satisfying ending and knowing that I can just replay them and enjoy it all again is more than enough.
Been waiting a while for this one
I think the Mass Effect franchise would be a great place to go next once he’s finished the ezio trilogy for assassin’s creed and uncharted. Lots of stuff to win there
Thank you for the "Hello there"
oh man one of my fav game in the whole time iv been alive its soooooooooooo good nice
I’m just saying this now you are very under rated ur an amazing creator and should continue just remember my name when u hit one million 😝
yes please keep doing the uncharted games :))
JUST saw that Revelations was up, then it wasn't. I'm watching you funny game man! 👀
I enjoyed this video and your analysis on this game. I'm looking forward to more of your content.
Edit: And yes, short and snappy makes the story work on multiple levels.
Wow, I just searched for this, and it turns out it was uploaded less than a day ago.
I've been replaying this game on PS3 recently, coincidentally!
You missed out the Nate saying a nice view from here that was comedy gold
Lettttssss go. My favourite uploads currently
This is my favorite game in the series, with 4 in close second, 3 right behind it and then the original.
This game is and forever will be my all time favorite game. Everything about it is amazing. The gameplay, the music, the story, the characters the jokes. This game is as incredible not as when it was released
By far my favorite Uncharted game, could be nostalgia cause it was the first one I played but in my opinion it hasn't been topped, I've also played thus game more time than I can count, definitely more times than I have fingers
PLEASE continue the Uncharted series
Two GamingWins video within a week. We are truly blessed.
The magic dagger from the Shadow!
The uncharted is honest to god my favorites series I remember 8 year just seating playing 1,2, and 3. I love all the games but 3 had to be my favorite one
I just finished replaying all 4 of the games so these are coming at out the perfect time😂
Please do the next 2 I need it
Just the detail in this series was amazing. At some point in the series Nate would actually walk different when injured or touch the wall to maintain balance when exhausted for example. Not sure if it was in Among thives tho.
I think I finished this game over 30 times back when I had no internet and only get video games at the end of the year with christmas, birthday and three kings day moneu
Uncharted to me has always been a fun game series to me and showcases what linearity can benefit to a game. I prefer freedom in the games I play like Breath of the wild but these are also really fun. The whole ludonarative dissolence doesn't really bother me. The people Nathan kills often attacks first or they are doing something horrendous like tearing through a small village. It's pretty much not a problem until Uncharted 4 but even then I can look past it.
This was a great video and I hope you have a good day
2 videos in less than a week is it Christmas already
17:56 GENERAL KENOBI!
2:00 -- Greek writing on the blackboard? πολύτλας διος ναθαν, meaning much-suffering Nathan.
Originally "πολυτλας διος Οδυσσευς", from the Odyssey. :D
i hope you do all uncharted just like dartigan
17:03 Phineas and Ferb Reference… Nice
I will continue to ask until I can find it, but what's the name for your outro song? It's so chill and calming that I want to hear the full version.
i died a little when u said "my name is jeff" 😂
I'm actually playing this game currently. This is a nice surprise.
God, Tenzin's such a badass.
17:55 my thoughts exactly when i first played the game
I can’t wait for him to get the deep story goodness of Uncharted 4!
Hah! I love it when you leave the flubs in. they're always so funny! 'killian villed'
Someone's probably already said it, but Nolan North has stated in his "Uncharted 2 Definitive Playthrough" That the ending scene with Nate and Elena is adlibbed. It was meant to be one of those "Cinematic camera pans up with music in the background moments" or at the very least, not that much dialogue.
But iirc, both of them got in the booth for some ADR and decided to go at it lol.
So hey, your headcanon is actually right, it's 100% just good chemistry from the VA's bouncing off of each other. (Now I'm not trying to promote something in your comments, but I'll just say if you want to see Uncharted 1, 2, and 3 played by the actors/actresses who starred in it, watch Retro Replay's Definitive Versions. 1 and 2 have Troy Baker as a cohost of the playthrough, but by 3, he left RR for creative differences. They did film a TLOU1 playthrough before he left however. Gives a lot of insight into the creative process of the games.)
i’ve been loving this video all the way through but the obi wan kenobi edit has actually finished me off, i’m screaming😂😂😭
I love the uncharted series and I would love to see the rest of the games
Holy shit this guy is sleeping on my couch right now.
Guess I'll subscribe lol.
In the words of Nolan North, "Chloe on the weekends, Elena on the weekdays."
Missed a win for this moment:
Nate:"great view"
Elena:"men..."
Nate:"no I'm actually talking about the view"
Maybe do an indie game for your next video! I have a ton of suggestions, a bunch of really artsy ones.
When are you making one for the next two games
This is my formal petition for you covering Uncharted 3 and 4!!! Pretty please!!
12:50
When I first played this, I agreed with Chloe here. I still do. Time they spend saving Jeff means they have less time to escape.
That says more about me than the game, but I’ll take an unpredictable scoundrel over another Indiana Jones type every day of the week.
Yes, Drake did the right thing, but it’s makes him sooo predictable. Chloe was more interesting *because* I didn’t know what she’d do next.
If it wasn’t for Nolan North being the VA that he is, I probably would’ve stopped right there.
Having said all this, great work man!
Chloe, not Elena
I'm a big uncharted 2 fan I like this game means alot means childhood even if alot of people don't like this game or the series I love you all
I'm sad you didn't comment on the Marco polo pool achievement. One of the funniest scenes in the game. I love it when drake acts so much like a kid
I just finished uncharted 2 last night
