Uncharted 3 is my favorite of the original trilogy. Unsurprisingly, it reminds me a lot of Indiana Jones and the last crusade. The chase through the desert to rescue a father figure, the mysterious man from the desert trying to keep the bad guys away, etc.
The fact that he doesn't need to talk about it just proves how disjointed and unnecessary it was tbh. Feels like ND shoved it in because it's a cool setting and not because it served any purpose.
I love the cruise ship section. Regardless of it fitting in with the narrative (because I agree, it's not exactly necessary). It's just a really fun video game moment. I think it's easy to lose track of the idea of just having simple fun with these games. I've recently played through the 5 mainline games, and I'll admit to doing so on the explorer/easiest difficulty. I like the stories, and they are essentially playable movies. PS: The actual movie is so-so. I kinda like Mark Wahlberg as Sully, but not completely. I saw something about Tom Holland taking a break from acting...thank you, man. I know people love that guy, but holy shit. He's played Peter Parker in every movie he's appeared in
ikr. It was like they were building up to something with him, revealing him to be some kind of supernatural being or whatever, but just nothing. It almost feels like a loose thread for a different planned ending they forgot to cut.
by inference, the writers intended him to be a jinn or some variation/descendant of. that would explain his supernatural powers, why he has hallucinogenic darts, and why he is looking for Ubar.
I think everyone always misses the point. Marlowe and Talbot are supposedly descendants of secret British society that’s main weapon is fear. What is more fearful than the unknown, like a man who seems to defy basic laws of nature. This world has been shown to be filled with the paranormal, whose to say that this group doesn’t have a paranormal element. Sure, the game could have flat out said “hey, this group is magic” and try to explain it, but I feel like that would kinda take something away from all of that.
@@kennethmccanse9049 The other games do a better job of balancing the intrigue with actually justifying it through later explanation though. The Descendants of U1 were scary and mysterious and it's eventually explained they were turned into that from the contents of the El Dorado casket. In U2 the Shambala guardians are explained as having superhuman powers from consuming the sap of the tree of life. In U3, Talbot can survive direct bullets, teleports, and disappears into thin air because... why? The lack of an explanation does not make his character better, it makes the writing look way worse. And U3 is nowhere near as scary as U1 so they failed at that big time.
There are a couple of things you overlooked that could help you think better of the story: 1. Talbot is an illusionist. You complain about him being inconsistent but that's the point. It's why he survives the bullet and why he "disappears" into the wall. Chloe pulls the tarot card out of Charlie, so that should be a dead giveaway. 2. At the core, it's a story about the relationship between Sully and Nathan. It's why the flashbacks there. Chloe and Charlie cutting out early is intentional because it's meant to elevate Sully's insistence of staying with Nate when everyone else doesn't deem it worth it. "He would go to the ends of the Earth for you, Nate. Just don't let him," as Elena says. Next time you're confused about Uncharted 3's story, just ask yourself: how does this serve the story about Nate and Sully? You might be surprised at what you find.
This one personally is my favourite in the Nathan Drake collection, it just that the gameplay and setpieces are much more consistent. Love these videos man🙂
There's just something about this one that clicks with me more than any game in the series, my guess it's the atmosphere, the setpieces and the rich puzzles, but it could be a number of other things really, and MY GOD that OST is SO GOOD!!!
I find it really sad how underrated the tracks for 3 is when fans are discussing. Museum Bust and Small Beginnings are probably one of the best and iconic Unchartered tracks. It oozes atmosphere.
As the video mentioned this game gets a lot of crap when it comes to its story and I agree with a lot of it. However, all Sullivan related moments are some of my favorites in the series. I love the flashback and I love spending so much time with him throughout the game as well. The ending where Sullivan has a real fatherly one to one with Nate is my absolute favorite moment in the entire franchise, it makes me tear up every time.
Uncharted 3 was my entry into the series as I was a young boy maybe around the age of 9 and I saw a demo of the game at Walmart and fell in love with it. The demo was the mansion on fire mission and I was amazed by it and wanted it ever since. I told my parents about it and for Christmas my mom bought it for me but she got the wrong uncharted. She ended up buying me uncharted two and that has to be the best mistake she could make as it is my all time favorite game and I have so much love for Uncharted. I at least play through the entire 4 main games every year
I miss when Walmart had demos for games you could play at the store. I hardly got to play them, cause my parents were always in a hurry, but when I did, it was pretty cool.
@@Makiaveli01 I remember it being the coolest thing ever and I'd even get my dad to come watch me play it. My parents saw how much I enjoyed the game thus why they bought Uncharted 2 for me. Funny enough I didn't have a ps3 at the time and so I would play the game on my older brother's ps3 when he wasn't on it
Uncharted 3 is one of my favorites. A blast to play through all the way through. I have played it through probably more than 10 times and it's always a great experience. That's the biggest compliment you can give, no matter how many times I have beaten Uncharted I keep coming back to it. Most games aren't like that.
I absolutely loved this game as a kid, the first time I played it I was sick of school and played this game at a family members house who was looking after me and instantly loved it. I asked my mum for a ps3 for my upcoming birthday as I only had Xbox 360 and played this game literally non stop all day on my birthday, only stopping briefly to say hello and thank you to family members who were dropping of presents and money. Woke up early the next morning to finish the last hour or so. This game will always have a special place in my heart.
I actually enjoy the mystery of Talbot and his different methods of disappearing the more I think about it but man the fist time I played it I was just thinking how the crap can this scrawny guy go hand to hand with Nathan Drake 😂
I will say one thing about the shooting in the original trilogy in NDC. I had played these games after finishing UC4, and the difference between the controls in UC4 and UC1 is so jarring that i had to completely learn the movement and shooting controls from scratch. By the time i reached UC2, it got more familiar with controls in UC4, and removed the stupid cover switch mechanics in UC1 with much better animations in UC2. One thing I have seen on UC2 and UC3 is that the aiming gets much more complicated in UC3 as the power of these guns feel like they are fighting continuously against my shooting. I don't really support the switch from the AK47 to the M9 as the shooting feels much worse and bullet-spongy in UC3. I honestly think UC2 has the best shooting controls in the whole trilogy as each gun actually feels like it can have an effect in the combat scenarios. Guns feel smooth and not sluggish. Far-off targets can also be seen and shot properly, and something like this feels absent from UC3. Also, due to the introduction of all the more realistic animations in UC3, the gameplay and gunplay feels more sluggish than UC2 as Drake takes so much time doing every action. I feel like i can't climb stuff as fast as i could in UC2, and the reload animations also take longer.
I love Uncharted as a series and felt it got better and better with each entry. I'm hoping they do some kind of continuation with Nate and Elena's daughter Cassie from the end of Uncharted 4 and find some sort of way to bring Nate and Sam back.
Uncharted 5 could be about a teenage Cassie going for her own adventure and Nate going after her to stop her So this time Cassie does the puzzles because she studied the treasure/artifact And Nate does the gunfight because he wasn't prepared for a treasure hunt Just an idea
I think uncharted 3 had a feature which weren't present in the other uncharted titles i.e. you can activate the grenade that the enemies carries along and then move away from them ! It was fun!
@@ssssssssssssssssss50 i personally was going through the end of a relationship and tons of pressure I put on myself and my work as this was the follow up to the incredible uncharted 2. Everyone worked hard. At the end I took a long vacation. About 3 months. Part of that was 2 weeks spent in Hawaii sleeping mainly.
@@GoemonLovesFujiko What you have been a part of creating is something very special. Uncharted is my all time favorite series. It's such a great ride from the characters to the set pieces to the action. But the biggest compliment I can give is that no matter how many times I have beaten the Uncharted games I keep coming back to them. When I beat most games I don't replay them, but I have beaten Uncharted 3 probably 10 times if not more and it's still such a great experience each time.
Maybe talbot had another secret exit in the wall and when he got shot maybe he was wearing body armor... Or maybe he was supposed to be apart of the supernatural twist but possibly got cut
It is good but 2 is the best cause 3 had too many questions and the Story rot lost sometimes and they added Set pieces to replace it and when you reached the ubar it felt so quick and you couldnt really Explore the city
@@Türkiyem-61 Honestly, I'm a pretty dumb person regarding plot holes, so maybe that's why it is my favorite too. The music is the BEST of the franchise and the gameplay is much better than the previous ones
My biggest issue with Uncharted 3 specifically is the way everyone treats Drake like he will do and sacrifice ANYTHING for the sake of adventure and a bit of gold. However, in both Uncharted 1 and 2, he has moments around halfway through where he straight up wants to give up on the adventure because he feels the danger to himself or his friends is getting out of hand and they always talk him back into it. In Uncharted 1, he was ready to leave the island with Elena and never look back, but Elena wanted to keep pushing forward he wasn't convinced until he learned Sully was alive at which point saving Sully and subsequently Elena (after she gets grabbed by Nevaro) becomes his primary objectives. In Uncharted 2 he is ready to move away from the objective in order to save Chloe and after the train incident he was ready to give up on the whole thing, until Elena and Chafer convince him otherwise at which point the treasure isn't the goal, stopping Lazaravich is the primary objective which Nate still has reservations about. He isn't a thoughtless adrenaline junky like every character seems to think he is in Uncharted 3 it's usually the other characters that preasure him to keep going.
Uncharted 3 was my first Uncharted game, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I genuinely think that you can start at any point in the series (barring 4), and the story will still make sense, even when characters are re-introduced into the story. The way they're introduced is legit seamless and the games do a great job of sort of catching the player up to the general gist of their history together (i.e. Nate and Elena in both 2 and 3).
Hadn't played an uncharted since uncharted 2 on release and played uncharted 4 on ps5, just finished. Can easily start at 4.gonna get the trilogy next, uncharted 2 or 3 first? Never played 3. Don't want to play 1 again.
I got stuck in the Yemen light puzzle for 3 years when I was a kid. I finished Uncharted 2 and tried the puzzle again and I got it. That made me love Uncharted for some reason
Ow really did you turn off hint cause if you just tried it and kept failing it would just give you the answer in the book cause I also got stuck on it when I first played i when I was a child
@@ZDXP84 yeah, but I was not the smartest 8 year old and I was learning english while playing the game (still played it in english to get used to it) so the hint went over my head.
To me, Uncharted 3 felt like an incomplete game, like its whole 3rd act, story, and characters felt rushed. Surprisingly, this game was in development along with the Last of Us with ND splitting into two teams to do both and I think it really hurt this game from being a really strong finish to a great trilogy. Regardless, it still has some great set pieces, environments and gameplay for its time.
Uncharted 3 is my first Uncharted game , great game I am lucky cause my dad bought me a ps3 bundle with Uncharted 3 and that’s how I became Naughty dog games fan
overall I liked Uncharted 2 more, but uncharted 3 has such amazing unique and different scenes that still somehow make sense and it doesnt feel like anything is random build in like with some other games...especially the cruise ship scene, dont know why you didnt talk about it, but for me probably the coolest part of the game
Bro I loved the co-op survival mode cause playing that with my best friend on Saturday when he'd come over was the best it reminds of this thing we'd do you know when one player is on the verge of death and it gives you two options to kill yourself or wait till the other player came and revive you and it would count down from like I think 30 seconds can't remember anyway when that would happen to one us the other one would rush over to the player that needs reviving and throw a freaken grenade at them to kill them and then we would laugh
I just finished Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection on PS5, near platinum trophy, that was the first time I played The Lost Legacy. Really fantastic revisiting uncharted 4 remastered for PS5. Makes me want to play the originals again on The Nathan Drake Collection. I was a little tired after the plat so I opted to revisit The Last of Us Part 2 to plat that on PS5. Stayed away from The Last of Us original because I heard a PS5 remaster in the works?? Regardless Naughty Dog is king of storytelling in my book, just hoping for a co-op naughty dog game one day. A proper story co-op that progresses both players game!
Something I never quiet get, were Marlow and Talbott are related in anyway? As couple?. And I never get why Marlow never wanted to NOT kill the protagonists. I also remember, wasnt there a co-op survival mode where you played as the villains? Or did I dreamed that?
It's not like the story was crap it was just the antagonists. I liked the depth to nate and Sully's relationship with him being like a father figure. I see this as an uncharted 4 prologue for lack of better words because everyone is telling nate to pack it in otherwise he's gonna get everyone killed. I especially like the line Elena says "you know where to find iram and Marlow doesn't. Isn't that enough?"
I remember these games being a lot more difficult then people gave them credit for. That difficulty came from the shooting sections. Even with this game, I felt like the mechanics of the game didn’t match what they were throwing against you.
If i was smart enough, i'd made it so the subway ads show up instead of the regular cutscenes. It would be funny to have drake all serious, climbing the landing gear of a flying plane, and just pulls out a large drink. 😂
Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Batman Arkham and Doom I just want/need more of them more games in their respective series but I also realize that too much can be bad
I recently completed Uncharted 3 from the remastered collection for the first time. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a solid follow up to the second game. I enjoyed Uncharted 2 more though as it felt more like a treasure hunt and there were more twists and turns. But 3 still is a fantastic game. I'm halfway through Uncharted 4 and loving it so far.
@@breshunt6412 I just started Lost Legacy yesterday and I'm playing through Golden Abyss on Vita as well. But minus those two games my order is the same. Uncharted 2 is very close to U4.
I think Marlowe had a lot of potential as a villain but she needed more screen time. I disagree with you when you say that the lack of bosses was better here. Talbot was an underwhelming final boss and was a step back from Lazarevic.
THIS If they wanted to add a mano a mano end boss they should follow Metal Gear 4 Also Uncharted 2 had the helicopter and the guy in the train as bosses
i remember every moment from this game.. the epic moments of me being super loe on health and somehow still winning the fight The story and the locations like the shipwreck, caves, deserts, etc Every glitch that i experienced, the small inconvenience or the gamebreaking bug This game was one of my favorite games with story which the order is as follows: RDR2 last of us uncharted 3
Talbot holding Drake at gunpoint for the 5th time after letting him escape without shooting 4previous times: "i think I should wait a bit before i shoot him, THIS time he won't escape!"
Now I know my opinion regarding this game will be a bit biased due to it being the first game I bought on the PS3 and also the the first game I played. This game is fantastic, it's got great characters, amazing graphics and even better set pieces. And the multiplayer was really enjoyable, I remember coming home from school and playing the multiplayer with my friends. This game is amazing on it's own, but when compared to the rest of the series, it may fall behind a bit. The rest of the games in the series are just the best games on the console, uc3 may not have lived up to the greatness of uc2 but it is an amazing game and really fun to play nonetheless. And you'd be lying if you said you didn't have fun playing the game. I had an absolute blast of a time playing the game
18:51 i quit this puzzle right as i saw it because i thought "NO WAY NOT ANOTHER HARD PUZZLE" but then after joining back in after some time i did it on my 1st try 😂😂😂😂😂
You know, I always figured that Talbot was actually trying to give them real money & they were pretending they thought it was fake as part of their larger plan.
A quick comment about the Djinn sequence. If I remember correctly I have finished the game in the hardest difficulty or at least in hard mode (which can be a drag) and I know that what helped was my hours into the UC3 Multiplayer. Basically, people in the MP were so intense with instant jumping headshots and bunny hops OS that coming back to the actual AI felt like fighting against kids. It is not easy, but when you get accoustumed to the various gameplay techniques of the MP - in which cover and shoot is a death sentence - you can deal with the Djins w/o too much hardship. Especially when you learn that you can fire the T-Bolt without having to aim and it will automatically shoot the enemy if you're close enough ^^
I’ve always wondered how Talbot was able to pull a Batman and vanish into thin air, at least for Batman it works since he was trained by ninjas, but Talbot’s fighting style doesn’t show any kind of training
I got Uncharted 3 from Half Price books, and thought it was gonna be some Call of Duty Ripoff, and was on the bargain bin for a reason. Man I WAS SO WRONG. I rarely cry over video games, much less the death of a character. I started tearing up watching sully "die" and the ending had me just sitting there, on the couch, just dumbstruck, not sure how I should have felt. I have all the Uncharted games now. Best Purchase ever.
when i first played uncharted 3 i was at gamestop looking for a new game to play and back when they had those game demos for ps3 and stuff i started it up and i was looking for a new game and i saw uncharted 3 and i was like what the fuck is this game it looks cool little did i know its was a popular game at the time and the demo was drake hanging on for dear life in the airplane section and when i was done i had to buy it and damn its was good ass game i ranked it on my top 5 game of all time this game is amazing
I think it’s because that isn’t necessarily the appeal. Gameplay while at its core is super repetitive, the visuals are constantly changing and the game plays like a campy action flick. I imagine most go into the game wanting to turn their brain off. Does that excuse it’s flaws? No. But I think it does explain the series popularity.
Uncharted 3 can't be fully done stealthily. Much like Uncharted 2, many sections such as the airport are meant for taking out only one or two enemies before getting spotted. Uncharted 4 is the only game where you truly can go through 100% of the game stealthily.
You know what the best thing is about the fact that you can slap people with fish in this game? If you do it 3 times you get a bronze trophy called “he’s gonna need a sturgeon”. 😂
Ah good i dont have to wait, just barely coincidentally checked if a review was up but wasn't expecting it since others were months apart but welcomed surprise
Interesting tidbit about the game's unlockable rewards (Tweaks, as the menu called them) is that the original PS3 release of the game had a very neutered offering; the ability to change your player model was not present, and I don't think the cheats were either, though maybe a few of them were still available. These were added back into the remaster by Bluepoint, who used the multiplayer models that already had lots of player rigging.
i've replayed the trilogy and i found myself enjoying U3 more than 2 which i don't want to admit. 2 was always my fav, 3 has better pacing and goes deeper into sully and drake
Uncharted 3 is my favorite of the original trilogy. Unsurprisingly, it reminds me a lot of Indiana Jones and the last crusade. The chase through the desert to rescue a father figure, the mysterious man from the desert trying to keep the bad guys away, etc.
Salim is definitely Ardeth Bay from The Mummy
I was getting Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and James Bond vibes out of this one. I love this one so much and it's my favorite of the three also.
@@Kickinthescience was just about to say I was getting a mummy feeling about this game maybe they took inspiration from it though
For me 2 and 3 are miles better than 4.

Uncharted 5 could be about a teenage Cassie going for her own adventure and Nate going after her to stop her
So this time Cassie does the puzzles because she studied the treasure/artifact
And Nate does the gunfight because he wasn't prepared for a treasure hunt
Just an idea
Ew
Nate's theme hits me with so much nostalgia. My heart
I think uncharted 3 had a feature which weren't present in the other uncharted titles i.e. you can activate the grenade that the enemies carries along and then move away from them ! It was fun!
One of the most difficult times of my life was working on this game. Glad people are still talking about it.
Fav of the trilogy, mainly the ship levels
@@ssssssssssssssssss50 i personally was going through the end of a relationship and tons of pressure I put on myself and my work as this was the follow up to the incredible uncharted 2. Everyone worked hard. At the end I took a long vacation. About 3 months. Part of that was 2 weeks spent in Hawaii sleeping mainly.
@@GoemonLovesFujiko What you have been a part of creating is something very special. Uncharted is my all time favorite series. It's such a great ride from the characters to the set pieces to the action. But the biggest compliment I can give is that no matter how many times I have beaten the Uncharted games I keep coming back to them. When I beat most games I don't replay them, but I have beaten Uncharted 3 probably 10 times if not more and it's still such a great experience each time.
@@maxrates awesome. Thanks for that. So glad to hear that one resonated with you so much.
Maybe talbot had another secret exit in the wall and when he got shot maybe he was wearing body armor... Or maybe he was supposed to be apart of the supernatural twist but possibly got cut
I swear I’d seen somewhere that talbet or whatever his name is actually has abilities and that’s why he teleports it takes no damage from bullets
you mean that he's a cyborg? that's just a joke someone made
@@nick9115 no that he has supernatural abilities. Like the rest of the game
"Spider-Man and Boogie Nights"- Flawless
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this game!! Personally for me, this is my favorite Uncharted game in the series!!
It is good but 2 is the best cause 3 had too many questions and the Story rot lost sometimes and they added Set pieces to replace it and when you reached the ubar it felt so quick and you couldnt really Explore the city
@@Türkiyem-61 Honestly, I'm a pretty dumb person regarding plot holes, so maybe that's why it is my favorite too. The music is the BEST of the franchise and the gameplay is much better than the previous ones
@@dusathemaid nah 2 had also good gameplay and it was simpler 3 had good music but 2 and 4 also and 2 had the best Story and worldbuilding
@@Türkiyem-61 Different Strokes for different folks, I guess.
@@dusathemaid yeah but the Story was more interesting and more epic with the army and Himalaya got destroyed and the Train part was just the best
How can you not mention the amazing water physics and wave mechanics? The cruise ship was insane!!
These Uncharted critiques are just the best…Please tell me you’re doing Uncharted 4 personally my favorite
My biggest issue with Uncharted 3 specifically is the way everyone treats Drake like he will do and sacrifice ANYTHING for the sake of adventure and a bit of gold. However, in both Uncharted 1 and 2, he has moments around halfway through where he straight up wants to give up on the adventure because he feels the danger to himself or his friends is getting out of hand and they always talk him back into it. In Uncharted 1, he was ready to leave the island with Elena and never look back, but Elena wanted to keep pushing forward he wasn't convinced until he learned Sully was alive at which point saving Sully and subsequently Elena (after she gets grabbed by Nevaro) becomes his primary objectives.
In Uncharted 2 he is ready to move away from the objective in order to save Chloe and after the train incident he was ready to give up on the whole thing, until Elena and Chafer convince him otherwise at which point the treasure isn't the goal, stopping Lazaravich is the primary objective which Nate still has reservations about. He isn't a thoughtless adrenaline junky like every character seems to think he is in Uncharted 3 it's usually the other characters that preasure him to keep going.
Uncharted 3 was my first Uncharted game, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I genuinely think that you can start at any point in the series (barring 4), and the story will still make sense, even when characters are re-introduced into the story. The way they're introduced is legit seamless and the games do a great job of sort of catching the player up to the general gist of their history together (i.e. Nate and Elena in both 2 and 3).
Me who saw and played 4 first 😅
@@KrisB_5 NOOOOOOOO
Hadn't played an uncharted since uncharted 2 on release and played uncharted 4 on ps5, just finished. Can easily start at 4.gonna get the trilogy next, uncharted 2 or 3 first? Never played 3. Don't want to play 1 again.
I recently bought the collection for dirt cheap and I am loving all 3 of the games.
I got stuck in the Yemen light puzzle for 3 years when I was a kid. I finished Uncharted 2 and tried the puzzle again and I got it. That made me love Uncharted for some reason
Ow really did you turn off hint cause if you just tried it and kept failing it would just give you the answer in the book cause I also got stuck on it when I first played i when I was a child
@@ZDXP84 yeah, but I was not the smartest 8 year old and I was learning english while playing the game (still played it in english to get used to it) so the hint went over my head.
To me, Uncharted 3 felt like an incomplete game, like its whole 3rd act, story, and characters felt rushed. Surprisingly, this game was in development along with the Last of Us with ND splitting into two teams to do both and I think it really hurt this game from being a really strong finish to a great trilogy. Regardless, it still has some great set pieces, environments and gameplay for its time.
Yeah it happens to me too, but sully didn't feel rushed
100% agree with the Djinn enemy segment you elaborated on. I still have flashbacks playing through that part on hardest difficulty
Quite honestly I get so happy when I see your video in my recommended.
Uncharted 3 is my first Uncharted game , great game I am lucky cause my dad bought me a ps3 bundle with Uncharted 3 and that’s how I became Naughty dog games fan
Same this was my first uncharted game I’ve played back in August 2013 when I was 10 years old
overall I liked Uncharted 2 more, but uncharted 3 has such amazing unique and different scenes that still somehow make sense and it doesnt feel like anything is random build in like with some other games...especially the cruise ship scene, dont know why you didnt talk about it, but for me probably the coolest part of the game
Great video! But no mention of the giant upside down cruiser level?? That shit blew my mind almost as much as the train level!
the fire enemies and drug trip were a highlight of the game for me
they’re supposed to be difficult it’s the last part of the game. bad take.
The co-op survival was dope af in this game. Really showed how well this games combat was
Bro I loved the co-op survival mode cause playing that with my best friend on Saturday when he'd come over was the best it reminds of this thing we'd do you know when one player is on the verge of death and it gives you two options to kill yourself or wait till the other player came and revive you and it would count down from like I think 30 seconds can't remember anyway when that would happen to one us the other one would rush over to the player that needs reviving and throw a freaken grenade at them to kill them and then we would laugh
The co-op modes in 2 and 3 were a blast. I really missed that in Uncharted 4's multiplayer.
I just finished Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection on PS5, near platinum trophy, that was the first time I played The Lost Legacy. Really fantastic revisiting uncharted 4 remastered for PS5. Makes me want to play the originals again on The Nathan Drake Collection. I was a little tired after the plat so I opted to revisit The Last of Us Part 2 to plat that on PS5. Stayed away from The Last of Us original because I heard a PS5 remaster in the works?? Regardless Naughty Dog is king of storytelling in my book, just hoping for a co-op naughty dog game one day. A proper story co-op that progresses both players game!
Something I never quiet get, were Marlow and Talbott are related in anyway? As couple?. And I never get why Marlow never wanted to NOT kill the protagonists.
I also remember, wasnt there a co-op survival mode where you played as the villains? Or did I dreamed that?
Uncharted 4 has a coop mode, your team has the heroes or the villiains
Lazarevic after some kills yells: and so, your story ends!!! LMAO
I think Talbot was meant to have some sort of supernatural powers like the enemies near the end of the game, but I guess they abandoned that plotline
11 years?? I remember going to gamestop just to play the demo over and over when you have to escape the burning building
I only play jrpgs these days, but i miss these games. Very nostalgic.
You do realize that uncharted 3 came out in November of 2011, meaning it's 10 years old, 2022 has barely started lol
It's not like the story was crap it was just the antagonists. I liked the depth to nate and Sully's relationship with him being like a father figure. I see this as an uncharted 4 prologue for lack of better words because everyone is telling nate to pack it in otherwise he's gonna get everyone killed. I especially like the line Elena says "you know where to find iram and Marlow doesn't. Isn't that enough?"
Better antagonists than Navarro and Roman
Salim is definitely Ardeth Bay from The Mummy
I remember these games being a lot more difficult then people gave them credit for. That difficulty came from the shooting sections. Even with this game, I felt like the mechanics of the game didn’t match what they were throwing against you.
If i was smart enough, i'd made it so the subway ads show up instead of the regular cutscenes. It would be funny to have drake all serious, climbing the landing gear of a flying plane, and just pulls out a large drink. 😂
Love uncharted. If they made 100 of them. I would play every one of them.
Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Batman Arkham and Doom I just want/need more of them more games in their respective series but I also realize that too much can be bad
I recently completed Uncharted 3 from the remastered collection for the first time. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a solid follow up to the second game. I enjoyed Uncharted 2 more though as it felt more like a treasure hunt and there were more twists and turns. But 3 still is a fantastic game. I'm halfway through Uncharted 4 and loving it so far.
Which is your favorite?
@@breshunt6412 I think it would have to be Uncharted 4.
@@NiGHTS1980 I agree , my order is U4 , U2 , LL , U3 , U1
@@breshunt6412 I just started Lost Legacy yesterday and I'm playing through Golden Abyss on Vita as well. But minus those two games my order is the same. Uncharted 2 is very close to U4.
I've MADE IT. Thanks for the shoutout.
The reasons this one is my favorite are very few and very shallow. I love Nathan Drake in the desert and his little desert scarf.
I think Marlowe had a lot of potential as a villain but she needed more screen time. I disagree with you when you say that the lack of bosses was better here. Talbot was an underwhelming final boss and was a step back from Lazarevic.
THIS
If they wanted to add a mano a mano end boss they should follow Metal Gear 4
Also Uncharted 2 had the helicopter and the guy in the train as bosses
@@ElPibePlay1000 I think you meant face to face
i remember every moment from this game..
the epic moments of me being super loe on health and somehow still winning the fight
The story and the locations like the shipwreck, caves, deserts, etc
Every glitch that i experienced, the small inconvenience or the gamebreaking bug
This game was one of my favorite games with story which the order is as follows:
RDR2
last of us
uncharted 3
26:00 “But there is just nothing to chew on.”
Hah. I see what you did there, editor,
This one is my favorite for sure. I don’t get why people hate on it sometimes.
I assume it's because it wasn't a s big of a leap as 1 to 2 was. But, I'm with you. My fave of the original trilogy too.
They're all good 4 is my favorite
The story felt lost and the characters except cutter were really mid and weird
Those new enemies that this guy was talking about is the exact reason this is the one uncharted game I never finished
The reason Talbolt seems to have plot armor is theorized to be because of the Djinn
Cutter definitely has more screen time than Elena in this
I loved the co-op multiplayer of this game. Would love to play that again.
The self awareness of being incapable of not imagining a UA-cam sponsored by Manscaped shaving their balls.
Your channel is awesome!
Talbot holding Drake at gunpoint for the 5th time after letting him escape without shooting 4previous times: "i think I should wait a bit before i shoot him, THIS time he won't escape!"
3:06 oh man I remember this part being insanly difficult on the hardest difficulty. The guys with shields were overpowered on the hardest difficulty
Me too
Uncharted 3 was the first console game outside of the wii when I got a PlayStation 3. Will forever love this game
Now I know my opinion regarding this game will be a bit biased due to it being the first game I bought on the PS3 and also the the first game I played. This game is fantastic, it's got great characters, amazing graphics and even better set pieces. And the multiplayer was really enjoyable, I remember coming home from school and playing the multiplayer with my friends. This game is amazing on it's own, but when compared to the rest of the series, it may fall behind a bit. The rest of the games in the series are just the best games on the console, uc3 may not have lived up to the greatness of uc2 but it is an amazing game and really fun to play nonetheless. And you'd be lying if you said you didn't have fun playing the game. I had an absolute blast of a time playing the game
Bro no way I literally just restarted the whole Nathan drake collection and this vid comes
It made no sense why it never told you why Talbot seemed to have powers
18:51 i quit this puzzle right as i saw it because i thought "NO WAY NOT ANOTHER HARD PUZZLE" but then after joining back in after some time i did it on my 1st try 😂😂😂😂😂
You know, I always figured that Talbot was actually trying to give them real money & they were pretending they thought it was fake as part of their larger plan.
i saw a theory that Talbot was a actually a Djin and thats why he was able to teleport in Syria and Yemen section and wasnt hurt by Charlie's bullet
I just realize that every uncharted have a chase scene
A quick comment about the Djinn sequence. If I remember correctly I have finished the game in the hardest difficulty or at least in hard mode (which can be a drag) and I know that what helped was my hours into the UC3 Multiplayer. Basically, people in the MP were so intense with instant jumping headshots and bunny hops OS that coming back to the actual AI felt like fighting against kids. It is not easy, but when you get accoustumed to the various gameplay techniques of the MP - in which cover and shoot is a death sentence - you can deal with the Djins w/o too much hardship. Especially when you learn that you can fire the T-Bolt without having to aim and it will automatically shoot the enemy if you're close enough ^^
I’ve always wondered how Talbot was able to pull a Batman and vanish into thin air, at least for Batman it works since he was trained by ninjas, but Talbot’s fighting style doesn’t show any kind of training
When first game came out I was 5 years old , obviously I haven’t played it at such age same with second part
I got Uncharted 3 from Half Price books, and thought it was gonna be some Call of Duty Ripoff, and was on the bargain bin for a reason. Man I WAS SO WRONG. I rarely cry over video games, much less the death of a character. I started tearing up watching sully "die" and the ending had me just sitting there, on the couch, just dumbstruck, not sure how I should have felt. I have all the Uncharted games now. Best Purchase ever.
Im playing on hardest difficulty and im at that part where the dessert sand is covering everybody up. Cant wait to get past this part.
when i first played uncharted 3 i was at gamestop looking for a new game to play and back when they had those game demos for ps3 and stuff i started it up and i was looking for a new game and i saw uncharted 3 and i was like what the fuck is this game it looks cool little did i know its was a popular game at the time and the demo was drake hanging on for dear life in the airplane section and when i was done i had to buy it and damn its was good ass game i ranked it on my top 5 game of all time this game is amazing
Miss the multi-player spent so many hours with My brother splitscreen
I’m surprised most people don’t discuss the series repetitive gameplay, cringey dialogue and awfully written villains.
I think it’s because that isn’t necessarily the appeal. Gameplay while at its core is super repetitive, the visuals are constantly changing and the game plays like a campy action flick. I imagine most go into the game wanting to turn their brain off. Does that excuse it’s flaws? No. But I think it does explain the series popularity.
Uncharted 3 can't be fully done stealthily. Much like Uncharted 2, many sections such as the airport are meant for taking out only one or two enemies before getting spotted. Uncharted 4 is the only game where you truly can go through 100% of the game stealthily.
I just watch this to not feel alone at sucking at aiming with a controller
Time to play this Masterpiece back again on my PS3
Uncharted 3 is my first game of franchise then I never came back completed entire games and it's best game franchise I ever played
I hope you cover Golden Abyss which Luke Stephans did not
wake up babe, Aqua posted😩
HOW MANY YEARS LATER????? OH GOD
When i first faced the dijinn i was like: this is impossible
Only played uncharted 4 but I loved it
You know what the best thing is about the fact that you can slap people with fish in this game? If you do it 3 times you get a bronze trophy called “he’s gonna need a sturgeon”. 😂
I can't believe you didn't mention the best adition to gameplay: the ability to throw back grenades. Other than that, great review!
Ah good i dont have to wait, just barely coincidentally checked if a review was up but wasn't expecting it since others were months apart but welcomed surprise
The greatest disappointment has to been not retrieving and unveiling the urn
Interesting tidbit about the game's unlockable rewards (Tweaks, as the menu called them) is that the original PS3 release of the game had a very neutered offering; the ability to change your player model was not present, and I don't think the cheats were either, though maybe a few of them were still available. These were added back into the remaster by Bluepoint, who used the multiplayer models that already had lots of player rigging.
i've replayed the trilogy and i found myself enjoying U3 more than 2 which i don't want to admit. 2 was always my fav, 3 has better pacing and goes deeper into sully and drake
11 years?! I could’ve sworn I just bought this game like 3 years ago…. I need to lay down
