Basically your review is 40 minutes whining about mechanics and things that could be better ¿?with a game that is more than 10 years old and that is still a total masterpiece in design, narrative, gameplay and story.
in the lazarevic boss fight if you shoot him a lot before shooting the resin one explosion will be enough to make go into the next "phase" making it less tedious
15:40 Just finished my first playthrough of Uncharted 2! I was able to beat Lazarevic with guns and grenades! Just cause I could never time the resin explosions correctly
Its not out of context. It was a brilliant metaphor for how hot the jungle was as well as how close to hell you'd feel you were as a hooker in church...
Love how Nate and Sully’s next lines of: “…you brought a hooker to church?” “Why not?” implies this isn’t Sully using a figure of speech, but a personal anecdote. Makes you wonder what the hell that mustache gets up to between adventures.
yooo boys i miss the multiplayer soo soo much. nothing was more satisfying than the sounds it made after getting a kill and stealth killing someone in multiplayer was so fucking dope. soo sad they didn’t bring the MP back for the remasters :(
I absolutely love the uncharted theme song. It’s one of the truly iconic theme songs. Just a few tones in and u know what it is straight away. Another great vid Aqua.
I remember the first time I played that collapsing building sequence. I thought it was going into cutscene, so I put my controller down not realizing I was still in control and ended up dying lol. Definitely one of the most memorable sequence of the series.
Hey Aqua just wanted to correct something about the "Boss fight" in the train. You only have to do enough damage to make his helmet fall off. When it does you have to melee him to finish the fight.
11:52 Okay I am so glad that this was mentioned because this has been a pet peeve for the longest time with the early uncharted games and some shooters with bullet spread. You pretty much summed it up when you said: “So many times I would take unnecessary damage due to my recital being right on an enemy and it just going borderline around them.” lol
the way it starts with the hero gut-shot and sitting in a train hanging off a cliff, and you have to escape the train while injured, then you pass out in the snow, then it flashbacks a couple weeks and you play the game up until the moment the game starts with you shot on a train; is fuggin brilliant. That game hooked me so hard because that (style? pacing?) of story telling was just really innovative for a video game.
amazing game. thx for great timing in le review. big childhood flashback that made me remember how i stole my personality from this game and, after not playing in in years, i still make jokes from it without realizing. le best game in the series and le best reviewer ever. 10/10 say hi to the family for me
35:00 Shambala is never stated or implied to be underground, it is in an undiscovered valley. The entrance to it is underground. Still not a very good explanation, but an important distinction I guess.
Uncharted is my favorite game series not named Zelda. I know its identity is Action, but I kinda wish they would experiment with some role-playing elements and be a bit heavier on puzzles.
seriously! I was thinking it was gonna be an adventure puzzle game and it was more of a shooter adventure. I think that's because mid-late 2000s shooter games were what was dominating the market. but yeah if they cut out half the gun fights and replaced that with more puzzles and traversing it would be even greater.
Love this game but yeah that train level is absolutely astounding. Still hard to believe they made this in the early 2000s. I remember playing it for the first time and just being so into it and immersed. Uncharted 2 is really when the games started to feel like an epic journey that when you get to the end you feel exhausted and like you just did everything that Nate went through.
For the boss fight in the train sequence you can just shoot him, wait for him to rush you then punch him. If manage to dodge all his attacks and attacks in between you can beat the boss in like 30sec
I played all the uncharted games when they came out, I still can't believe uncharted 2 is 13 yrs old, I remember I always based my haircuts in highschool as Nathan's
I've been a gamer since the early eighties but the PS3 era might still be my favourite. Uncharted 2, Arkham Asylum, The Walking Dead (Telltale), Dead Space, The Last of Us, Modern Warfare, GTA V, Dirt 2, Puppeteer, Saboteur, Rayman Legends... the list is endless.
Uncharted 1-3 are literally the most played games I had on ps3 growing up and I plan on playing them again. I would wake up early in the morning to play them but Uncharted 4 is the only one I haven’t played yet. I heard it’s coming on pc soon so I can’t wait!!!
Uncharted doesn’t even have anything close to a progression system and I still find it super addicting man. Cause you can shoot different types of cool guns.
I feel like story wise 3 and 4 are more spectacular and feel more like a movie,but the gameplay on 2 was incredible. Fight sequences were actually fun (and i played at last difficulty) and built so well
These mechanics issues made me mad. I enjoy playing Tomb Raider but Uncharted 1 - 2 give me only frustrations because I struggle against the controls more than against the enemies
That part where you were shooting that pistol while hanging on the ledge seemed fine to me. Everytime you hit him some part of his body was inside the reticle and you only missed when none of the crosshair overlapped with his head.
Uncharted 2 have the best gameplay/levels desing in the franchise. One of the best i have ever seen in video games. However, Uncharted 4 have the best story
When I watched your video on Uncharted 1 I was a little offended that the majority thought it was the worst in the series. As someone who’s been playing through all the games getting ready for the movie coming out in February, I’ve found that my favorite is tied between 1 & 2 with the worst in the series being 3 and 4 being great, but not as great as the first two. Anyway I say all that to praise you on your skills to perfectly highlight the flaws as well as the things the games do well, with only a few moments I went “Nah, I don’t agree with you there chief.” All in all, congrats on 100k and here’s to 100k even 1 milllion more, I’m definitely subscribing.
I recently binged the nathan drake collection getting all 3 platinums, I have to say out of the 3 the 2nd was the most glitchy with enemys jumping around, general gameplay was the weakest of the 3, I'd say the first was the best maybe the 3rd. I enjoyed the final boss fight from the 2nd one the most and the 2nd game had the best story out of the trilogy, also UC2 is leaps and bounds better graphically than UC1. I'd say I enjoyed the 2nd one the most but also binging the games you realize the story is more copy and pasted with slight tweaks. I was going to jump into UC4 and lost legacy but Im burned out from the franchise and probably revisit it in a few months. Somebody told me UC2 was Game of the Year in 2009, honestly surprising when I dont think it really compares to Arkham Asylum and Assassins Creed II imo.
The multiplayer Uncharted 2 is till today one of the best mp ever made yes the first Uncharted mp was the best and also my favourite Uncharted solo campaign !
UC2 improved upon the first game in every way possible. Also upped it in terms set pieces too and still has one of the best levels ever: train level. An absolutely great game, the ending boss was kinda blah though.
I'm like that with the miniguns actually. I fucking hate picking them up and actively avoid doing so. I just don't enjoy moving that slow or the shot spread being that big.
Uncharted 2 is a really good game, but i personally doesn't like the boss fights and supernatural enemies, because they are a big difficulty spike and can be really tedious.
See the graphics tho, character models hold up quite pretty well still........I must think Naughty Dog have had an hard time working with the cell processor
It was a special game, but the blue apes and the weak antagonist last boss fight put it down a couple of points for me. The first 3/4 of the game were amazing. And it has the best mp in the series.
I got a question, how does Drake not have the will to kill one of the most evil men ever put on the planet, but has the will to kill hundreds of random mercenary thugs?
I don't think he lacks the will. Lazarevich wanted Drake to kill him, so as one last "fuck you", he didn't give him the satisfaction and left him to die by the hands of others.
Out of the Trilogy this is the easiest to get into and flows the best. Uncharted 3 made me lose interest in that desert stage and the level design is more confusing.
Yeah the pacing for 3 kinda felt off, the puzzles were ????? and for the title alone I actually expected a DARKER story than what I got. But I appreciated what it did for the exposition and relationship of the characters Gameplay wise, I love how I was able to stand a chance against enemies with shields, bulky armor, and throw back grenades. I wish grenade throwback actually returned in 4..
@@MrGister9999 I never realized it was a joke, I just thought Nate would say something like "Sully, toss her in her shut the door and let's get outta here quickly."
No game will ever look as good to me as uncharted 2 did the first time I played it, up till then I had only ever had Nintendo games, but in 2010 my dad got me the PS3 uncharted 2 bundle and he hooked it up to his huge HD flat screen and when that first image popped up of Nathan's bloodied face sitting in the derailed train my jaw was on the fucking floor man
I had a similar experience with GTA 4. Up until then I had only played Gamecube and Wii, and seeing the grandness of Liberty City in HD was mindblowing.
The Uncharted games especially Uncharted 2 highlight how great linear games can be. When I see the majority of new games nowadays are open world, it makes be believe the current industry has not a clue about what makes a great game and wrongfully think open world is all we want to play now.
Uncharted franchise is, not a game. It's just not. Anyone who says it's a game, are nongamers, people who don't enjoy gaming but enjoy watching movies or tv shows. Calling uncharted a game is an insult to gaming. Naughty dog has hurt gaming in a way that it's still suffering to this day and will continue to suffer. Linear games can be fun, resident evil, metal gear solid, prince of persia, etc...are all linear games, but they are good games bcos they had proper gameplay, uncharted does not have proper gameplay, it's either fake platforming or bland gears of war. And that's pretty much it as far as gameplay goes. The rest is just cutscenes. I will never forgive naughty dog for what they did to gaming.
With the level of polish that open world games are reaching now (Horizon, GoT, etc) a linear game a la Uncharted would need to be seriously amazing, technically and in storytelling. Like TLOU 2.
@@waveplay3978 You make it sound like making an amazing linear game technically and storytelling is impossible. One does come along occasionally still and they are selling extremely well. Just naming one recent example, Guardians of the Galaxy. And I am sure there are some you have enjoyed. Then, there have been some open world games that are just meh or too big for their own good.
@@therandomguy2441 Wdym by "what they did to gaming"? If you mean how they popularized that genre among developers and gamers, its just you having an unpopular opinion. For that to happen, there would need to be active demand for that type of game, which there definitely is as proven by this comment. If its just to this series in general, it's not for you considering thats whats its mainly been about since the first game
@@muggerpugger3231 i mean, fake gameplay, walkey talkey sections, long ass cutscenes, lackluster gameplay in the name of cinematic set pieces.... That's what I mean by "what they did to gaming". Linear storydriven game genre has always been popular. They didn't popularize the genre, they popularized the poor gameplay that is now plaguing all linear games and even open world games to a certain extent. Tomb raider is the best example of this.
I haven't had a playstation since I was a kid, but I remember playing Uncharted 2 for the first time, and I loved it so much. I never played the first one, and I for some reason didn't think it was all that popular, so imagine my shock when I see a fucken subway commercial for the third game, like days after I beat the second one.
The first uncharted was popular. Uncharted 2 would not have been the blockbuter it was, if the first game had done poorly. That said, Among Thieves was a masterclass, in interactive storytelling, that withdrew all the fluff from Uc1(like the motion controls), and doubled down on everything the first game did well.
my dad was part of the first wave of consumers for a PS3 so we got the fat model when it was like 700 bucks, mainly so my dad could have a blu-ray player for his mancave when those were MORE expensive than a console with one inside. since my parents are divorced, i only got to play games on it on the weekend until eventually, he bought another slim model bundled with Uncharted 2. He kept the slim model for himself, and gave me the fat one and Uncharted 2 along with other games he wasn't interested in. i loved that machine and game until the day it died.
@@WeencieRants that was also right at the time Sony changed their PS3 advertising, going with that Kevin Butler guy and comedic scripts. Basically, that era of advertising is responsible for the PS3 eventually outselling the X360.
The simplistic yet diverse nature of only having 3 ar’s was absolutely brilliant. The fal and ak47 had their respective advantages and weaknesses while the m4 remained a bit of a catchall as the top tier but making it only available thru ground loot was perfectly balanced. Hit boxes were phenomenal and the cover system/blindfire metas reminiscent of gears was amazing. All in all a superb multiplayer experience that could have easily been competitive.
16:47 I will admit this boss fight took me a couple of years to complete I just replayed the campaign over and over edit: I'm not gonna cap I know for a fact I was easy mode I'm trash at video games I know but I beat Thiefs end on hard
Oof on crushing was scary, I never had any trouble with the game (aside from the train part) and never beaten the game until 2021 because I was stuck on the village and was trying to blow up the tank.
I love this game so much. Although I prefer 4, this is such a remarkably solid and infinitely repayable experience I can’t help but love it. What an insane glow up (in more ways than one) from this game to the first. Cant wait to watch the video!
I’ll never forget being an 8 year old kid opening up my PlayStation 3 on Christmas with this game with it. The feeling of experiencing the set pieces for the first time being completely immersed in the world is something I’ll never let go of. 4 is definitely the best, but 2 will forever hold that special place in my heart
Yes! In this game the setpieces are almost always combined with actual gameplay. In U4 almost every setpiece is just a short cutscene, which loses its effect rather quickly. Especially on repeat playthroughs
I bought the game came back at home , put that game in my ps3 .. did the single story mode first and after that i jumped into multiplayer and i played i dotn know how many games but holy shit i was having fun
i had the pleasure to play through all 4 of the games, especially the first three one after another back in 2011. and let me tell you, the best one in the series is definitely Uncharted 2, it had the most interesting story and personally its my favorite. the first game was really nice, it had its many flaws which in some cases made it insanely difficult but in general for an early PS3 game it was pretty good. and the 3rd game felt way too easy, the story just felt like a copy-paste of Uncharted 2 just with more filler chapters for no real reason honestly. as for the 4th game, it honestly was on-par as the 2nd game for the most part, though the ending was actually pretty surprising (i didn't think they would fast-forward time in the ending THAT much but i'm not going to spoil it for you if you didn't play it yet). i didn't really play the spin-off games (The Lost Legacy and Golden abyss), from what i know Golden Abyss is extremely generic and kind of dull but filled to the brim with the Vita's gimmicky controls for no reason, but The Lost Legacy is actually a pretty decent background story game for Chloe. i do have both of them, but the only one i'd probably play someday would be The Lost Legacy, Golden Abyss sounds does not sound exciting enough for me for me to take my Vita out of its drawer again lol
Golden abyss was actually pretty good. The face touch controls were great. The rear touch controls, not so much. The coolest part was doing rubbings and stuff, where you were basically creating Nate's iconic notepad. Other than that, it's a fairly standard Uncharted game. Would be great, if they did a remastered PS4/5 version of it(Like Ubisoft did For the Assassin's Creed Vita title)
I love how you start off during the middle of the story and then go back and then come back to that same point and relive it. It gives the game a nice touch.
Thank you Amy Hennig for this masterpiece. It shows the power of linear story-driven games. Even though it's linear, it's so enjoyable that you can replay it over and over again. Ironically most open world that in theory are made to be replayed have 0 replayability because the vast world feels hollow and with less focus on the story they are not as memorable (Witcher 3 is the exception). It's the perfect mix of action, story, set pieces, characters and pacing. I don't know if Uncharted 2 is the best game ever, but it couldn't be done any better.
12:13 idk my guy, watching you play I can tell, at least from my perspective oc, that we played the game entirely differently. What I like about Uncharted is the verticality and mobility of the gameplay during fight pieces, in my opinion, that's what sets it apart from other TPS, you are constantly moving, shooting from the hip, grabbing other weapons, ambushing/punching enemies, using stealth jumping/climbing to the higher ground, etc, etc. I, at least, am constantly moving from cover to open areas and so on, I rarely use the aim button unless is an sniper rifle or something like that
Like, what's the GAMEPLAY? Fake platforming and gears of war. That's all that I have noticed in uncharted franchise. I played uncharted 2 and 4, and I didn't enjoy either of them.
@@Mbolf24 that's, true tho. Yes, gears of war is infact better than uncharted. It's laughable to say uncharted is a game. Uncharted series is an insult to gaming. Naughty dog has hurt gaming in a way that it still suffers even to this day and I will never forgive naughty dog for what it did to gaming.
@@Mbolf24 just think for a sec, what gameplay does uncharted have? Like i said, fake platforming and gears of war. Except that gears of war does cover shooting a lot better. Obviously i dont want fake platforming, and If i want cover based shooting i would get gears of war. So why would I buy uncharted? Gears of war is literally better than uncharted, and that's saying something.
The music alone makes this game one of the best games of all time. Every time I load the game up and the uncharted theme kicks in the nostalgia just rushes over me like a wave. Such a beautiful game and beautiful journey. I used to replay the demo over and over before finally getting the game for Christmas. Absolute masterpiece imo even if the gameplay is a bit old school by todays standards.
This game was my childhood and really my first introduction into single player adventure games aside from ratchet and clank:a crack in time I remember being so in awe with the opening sequence,also that multiplayer is underrated
I think the underlining them of Uncharted 2 is the morality of thievery. It's why it's called Among Thieves, its short for "honor among thieves." Nathan, Chloe, Finn, and Lazarevic all inhabit their own spot on the spectrum of ethics when it comes to the profession of treasure hunting and thievery. It's why there are so many jabs at Nate during the game about him being the good guy. It's why Lazarevic brings up Nathan's kill count at the end. Because no matter how honorable Nathan claims to be, he's still part of a lifestyle that brings alot of bloodshed and greed. It's about about dubious nature of trying to be the good guy in a lifestyle that doesn't support it.
I left a comment on the first Uncharted video in which I mentioned how I only recently played the franchise for the first time. After finishing Uncharted 1 I could totally see the bright future ahead. I could see the flaws in the execution of the first game and I remember saying to myself "There's definitely something here. I feel like more polished action sequences and a greater focus on great set pieces would make the formula of the first game shine brighter." Uncharted 2 DELIVERED. I genuinely feel like there's a huge jump in almost every single aspect when it comes to Among Thieves. The visual presentations is similar when it comes to pure graphics but the actual presentation and visual style is just overall better. Uncharted 1 had a lot of unpolish looking buildings that felt like giant blocks of cement with climbable divots put into them. Uncharted 2 on the other hand puts a lot of effort into making each area feel unique and visually striking. The buildings in Nepal (I think that's the city lol) all legitimately feel real and are so fun to climb around and fight in. The simple improvement of the melee system is basic but it does a great job at making those encounters more fun to play. The action set pieces are GREAT and there's so many of them. Genuinely still some of the most memorable in the story. The incredible train sequence, the exciting helicopter fight in the city that this video does such a great job describing, the yeti fight. They're all great and very memorable! The first game had a few things like this but they were farther apart and some of them sucked, like the jet ski segments. Honestly, this video does a great job at detailing some of the complaints I would have with this game. As well as some of the things that make it so great. However, there are some things I disagree with. For example I agree that the puzzles in this game are similarly simple and just follow what your notebook says kind of things from the first game. The whole franchise has that problem in general. I do think though that even if they're not very challenging the puzzles in this game manage to be A LOT more memorable than those of the first game and that's solely because of scope. In the first game you'd enter a room and move around some statues or press some switches. In this game you climb around a giant statue and move it around. Fundamentally they're the same kind of puzzles but they just feel grander. Lastly another thing I don't entirely agree with is the story. Don't get me wrong, I think the videos idea that the story retraces a lot of threads from the first game and how the story falls apart if you start picking at it are true. I just feel like it doesn't really matter. Who cares if the story falls apart if you start picking at it, you can do that to some of the most influential and iconic movies of all time. As long as they serve their purpose and feel believable to the gameplay I think its fine. Another thing is just that I feel like the story in Uncharted 2 is just told way better. The beats are all punchier and cleaner. The cutscenes move fast and tell you exactly what you need to know in a more effective fashion then the first game did. Starting the story from half way in and jumping back is a bit of a cliché trope but it works REALLY well for Uncharted. Since a big point of the franchise is trying to get the player to feel like their playing a movie I feel. I just genuinely think the story is told in such a well paced and well directed fashion. That's why I feel like it surpasses the first game. Also I agree that the final boss kinda bad but I think it should be given some credit since it's the only final boss in an Uncharted game that feels like a boss. With like an actual mechanic and gameplay and not a mini game or just a shoot out. Excellent video though, I can't wait to see what your thoughts on Uncharted 3 are.
I got TND collection and 4 for like 8 quid each last year, I was very late to the party. 1, 2 and 3 i enjoyed well enough but I didn't find them that special, i fucking hated the random insane spikes in difficulty like fighting the demon things in 3 and the super awkward boss fights like at the end of 1. 4 however, wow. What a game, probably the best and prettiest game I've ever played with the exception of really new stuff like Ghosts of Tsushima
So i just recently replayed all of the games on brutal difficulty in anticipation for the movie (which bombed) but I remeber the final boss fight all too well 16:30 I was raging at how to defeat angry russian man, until i learned that if you hit a sap pod and stunned him you could unload a rifle magazine in his face and the entire boss fight ends in like 7 minutes
For me uncharted 2 was not very good and it was very frustrating.Last summer l tried playing it on crushing just to get the trophies for the ps3 and my god it was a nightmare!! This game was so hard even on normal or maybe easy if you are not that flexible because in every fight there are 30 + enemies shooting at you at once AND THEY NEVER DIE and you die all the time .The story had potential but it was executed poorly espesially the characters !! The enviroments were kinda ok but still there were places like the train sequence that it is not easy to cover . Actually there are plenty of things that don't make sence in this game and are stupid ... here is why ua-cam.com/video/orug7Y-X3DQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Pp2PrrnfUug/v-deo.html Though it ain't that bad of a game and l kinda get why people like this game but l would not put this up from uncharted 4 and especially uncharted 3.
I love how we dislike on a game that is 13 whopping years old! 13! It's in a time of PS3, at a time of demolishing every other game out there on all consoles. Uncharted was very story directed, and did many things that no other game did like it. All in all games simply progress and we are at the PS5 era. But when I compare these games Uncharted 1,2,3,4 to Halo infinite, in many ways I find even the older Uncharted games FROM PS3 era to be better more detailed looking than Halo Infinite on a PS5 level hardware console. For example Naughty Dog's Last of Us II on PS4 completely and utterly destroys Halo. So it's interesting. From my perspective I am surprised Uncharted games look as great as they do for their respective release dates.
as far as those brute enemies go, they tank damage because you can't just shoot their arms, legs, or bodies. you're supposed to shoot off their helmets, which only takes a couple of bullets to the head, then you can finished them off with a headshot. its interesting that you even show a clip of one of their helmets getting shot off and didn't quite make that connection, considering you were headshotting most enemies in Drakes Fortune.
It's certainly still my favorite. I started a new playthrough a while back on Crushing difficulty, and it has been destroying me but it's been so much fun at the same time.
When I first played uncharted 2 i called it the most disappointing game of the 2009, it’s not a terrible game there are some good things i this game but overall I was so disappointed
I have a hard time choosing between uncharted 2 and 4 because I love them for very different reasons. I love uncharted 4 for it's more slower adventurous pace and mature storytelling. Uncharted 2 I love for being just a tightly wound replayable fun adventure that never gets old
I just got my hands on a PS4 and am playing through the series for the first time ever (played Uncharted 4 first on a friend's PS4 couple of years ago) Frankly, the first Uncharted hasn't aged well at all for me, I can see how it would've been amazing back when it came out but in the present day, it felt tedious to get through and I had to push myself through it rather than feeling compelled to continue like the best games do. Uncharted 2 on the other hand, has aged like the finest wine. I've spent hours in photo mode alone, the graphics, especially the art direction and the lighting are gorgeous even in 2022/23 and the train section had me so awe-struck I immediately came to UA-cam and found this video, currently at Tenzin's village and I can see this video has some spoilers so I'll return once I finish the game but it's already an all time classic in my eyes, but not the first one, no offense to those who enjoyed it when it came out and continue to enjoy replaying it today, just...don't think I'll ever wanna replay that again.
thats funny I've never played them either and I just did the same I've had the Nathan drake collection since it came out and never played it, I just beat the first 2 in like four days now I'm gonna play the third tomorrow. the first was fun but by the zombie creatures I was like ok let's get this over with and play the 2nd...the 2nd started out kinda slow but once it picked up I was all in.

Basically your review is 40 minutes whining about mechanics and things that could be better ¿?with a game that is more than 10 years old and that is still a total masterpiece in design, narrative, gameplay and story.
@@juancarlos23alva Would you rather it be 'yeah, it's good. The end.'
in the lazarevic boss fight if you shoot him a lot before shooting the resin one explosion will be enough to make go into the next "phase" making it less tedious
15:40 Just finished my first playthrough of Uncharted 2! I was able to beat Lazarevic with guns and grenades! Just cause I could never time the resin explosions correctly
13... years... later ........
"I'm sweatin' like a hooker in church" will always be the strangest out of context line for me, even in a game series like Uncharted. Great video!
Its not out of context. It was a brilliant metaphor for how hot the jungle was as well as how close to hell you'd feel you were as a hooker in church...
Because, um, wtf is she doing there? Lmao
@@__raindrops__ I mean, it is church so XD
Love how Nate and Sully’s next lines of:
“…you brought a hooker to church?”
“Why not?”
implies this isn’t Sully using a figure of speech, but a personal anecdote. Makes you wonder what the hell that mustache gets up to between adventures.
She is a sinner for that reason she is sweating from anxiety and paranoid about being judged
I replay every single uncharted game every year usually around the summertime And they still hold up in my opinion uncharted 2 is still my favorite
Same.
Imo best series ever
Same. And you have excellent taste. U2 is incredible
Yeah same. However, I personally prefer 4 > 2
Jesus Christ then you need to start playing good games for a change.
I’ve seriously lost count how many times I’ve played uncharted 2. I loved this game and The multiplayer back in The day was my shit.
I think Uncharted 2's online was the best in the series. Especially the Co-op.
yooo boys i miss the multiplayer soo soo much. nothing was more satisfying than the sounds it made after getting a kill and stealth killing someone in multiplayer was so fucking dope.
soo sad they didn’t bring the MP back for the remasters :(

Hey Aqua just wanted to correct something about the "Boss fight" in the train. You only have to do enough damage to make his helmet fall off. When it does you have to melee him to finish the fight.
Yeah I was looking for this comment, just need to get his helmet off, not really even a boss fight
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
11:52 Okay I am so glad that this was mentioned because this has been a pet peeve for the longest time with the early uncharted games and some shooters with bullet spread.
You pretty much summed it up when you said: “So many times I would take unnecessary damage due to my recital being right on an enemy and it just going borderline around them.” lol

That game hooked me so hard because that (style? pacing?) of story telling was just really innovative for a video game.
amazing game. thx for great timing in le review. big childhood flashback that made me remember how i stole my personality from this game and, after not playing in in years, i still make jokes from it without realizing. le best game in the series and le best reviewer ever. 10/10 say hi to the family for me
15:30 This boss fight against Larzarvich actually kinda creeped me out cause he’s huge man!
I just started this game a few days ago and I’m already almost done. It’s such an incredible game haven’t had this much fun since I played Mafia 2
Uncharted 2 was such an underated game imo
I could not agree more
35:00 Shambala is never stated or implied to be underground, it is in an undiscovered valley. The entrance to it is underground. Still not a very good explanation, but an important distinction I guess.
26:15 That bunker part in Uncharted 1 creeped me out not gonna lie.
I've recently replayed the games for like the umpteenth time, video came in with perfect timing
Uncharted is my favorite game series not named Zelda. I know its identity is Action, but I kinda wish they would experiment with some role-playing elements and be a bit heavier on puzzles.
seriously! I was thinking it was gonna be an adventure puzzle game and it was more of a shooter adventure. I think that's because mid-late 2000s shooter games were what was dominating the market. but yeah if they cut out half the gun fights and replaced that with more puzzles and traversing it would be even greater.
Love this game but yeah that train level is absolutely astounding. Still hard to believe they made this in the early 2000s. I remember playing it for the first time and just being so into it and immersed. Uncharted 2 is really when the games started to feel like an epic journey that when you get to the end you feel exhausted and like you just did everything that Nate went through.
For the boss fight in the train sequence you can just shoot him, wait for him to rush you then punch him. If manage to dodge all his attacks and attacks in between you can beat the boss in like 30sec
I played all the uncharted games when they came out, I still can't believe uncharted 2 is 13 yrs old, I remember I always based my haircuts in highschool as Nathan's
I've been a gamer since the early eighties but the PS3 era might still be my favourite. Uncharted 2, Arkham Asylum, The Walking Dead (Telltale), Dead Space, The Last of Us, Modern Warfare, GTA V, Dirt 2, Puppeteer, Saboteur, Rayman Legends... the list is endless.
Man i dunno what u talking bout but every 3 months i replay all the games and uncharted 2 is still the best game, not only in this series but overall!
Uncharted 1-3 are literally the most played games I had on ps3 growing up and I plan on playing them again. I would wake up early in the morning to play them but Uncharted 4 is the only one I haven’t played yet. I heard it’s coming on pc soon so I can’t wait!!!
Uncharted doesn’t even have anything close to a progression system and I still find it super addicting man. Cause you can shoot different types of cool guns.
Nepal is one of my favorite game levels of all time!
I feel like story wise 3 and 4 are more spectacular and feel more like a movie,but the gameplay on 2 was incredible. Fight sequences were actually fun (and i played at last difficulty) and built so well
The train level … a trend setter I think Awesome level… both times you do it😉👍🏻
UC2 and UC4 are my favs, love the series
These mechanics issues made me mad. I enjoy playing Tomb Raider but Uncharted 1 - 2 give me only frustrations because I struggle against the controls more than against the enemies
i love when he says a simple right hook will be your end hahah lol
I love these videos please work on Uncharted 3! It's my first time playing Uncharted.
How convenient that I just finished it days ago and loved it
Best game franchise ever
I've been waiting so long for this
lazaravich in crushing was rage-inducing
That part where you were shooting that pistol while hanging on the ledge seemed fine to me. Everytime you hit him some part of his body was inside the reticle and you only missed when none of the crosshair overlapped with his head.
“You’re going to miss this ass”-Chloe
Best part of the game.
Uncharted 2 have the best gameplay/levels desing in the franchise. One of the best i have ever seen in video games. However, Uncharted 4 have the best story
I downloaded The Nathen Drake collection when sony made them free as for the stay home initiative
12 explosions to kill Lazarevic? I don't remember that
When I watched your video on Uncharted 1 I was a little offended that the majority thought it was the worst in the series. As someone who’s been playing through all the games getting ready for the movie coming out in February, I’ve found that my favorite is tied between 1 & 2 with the worst in the series being 3 and 4 being great, but not as great as the first two.
Anyway I say all that to praise you on your skills to perfectly highlight the flaws as well as the things the games do well, with only a few moments I went “Nah, I don’t agree with you there chief.”
All in all, congrats on 100k and here’s to 100k even 1 milllion more, I’m definitely subscribing.
I also like UC1. It's the aiming that's really bad in the game, which is aggravated by the higher difficulty. But it's action packed and fun.
I recently binged the nathan drake collection getting all 3 platinums, I have to say out of the 3 the 2nd was the most glitchy with enemys jumping around, general gameplay was the weakest of the 3, I'd say the first was the best maybe the 3rd. I enjoyed the final boss fight from the 2nd one the most and the 2nd game had the best story out of the trilogy, also UC2 is leaps and bounds better graphically than UC1. I'd say I enjoyed the 2nd one the most but also binging the games you realize the story is more copy and pasted with slight tweaks. I was going to jump into UC4 and lost legacy but Im burned out from the franchise and probably revisit it in a few months.
Somebody told me UC2 was Game of the Year in 2009, honestly surprising when I dont think it really compares to Arkham Asylum and Assassins Creed II imo.
18:18 How do you unlock these things? :D
Not me being this early after just discovering this channel
it got game of the year in 2009 and is one of my favourite classic games and on PS3
The multiplayer Uncharted 2 is till today one of the best mp ever made yes the first Uncharted mp was the best and also my favourite Uncharted solo campaign !
The best game on the PS3 in my option and one of the greatest games I've ever played.
UC2 improved upon the first game in every way possible. Also upped it in terms set pieces too and still has one of the best levels ever: train level. An absolutely great game, the ending boss was kinda blah though.
For me, uncharted 4 is my favorite. But I can't deny that 2 is amazing
Still my favourite game of all time
I honestly liked 3 a bit more than 2, solely because I played multiplayer a lot and had a great time on it
Uncharted 2 is among the very few games I wish, If it was possible, I could delete from my memory, so I could play it for the first time again
I'm like that with the miniguns actually. I fucking hate picking them up and actively avoid doing so. I just don't enjoy moving that slow or the shot spread being that big.
Uncharted 2 is a really good game, but i personally doesn't like the boss fights and supernatural enemies, because they are a big difficulty spike and can be really tedious.
Wow I feel old now lol don't seem its been that long
See the graphics tho, character models hold up quite pretty well still........I must think Naughty Dog have had an hard time working with the cell processor
Uncharted 2 best opening to any game ever
With regards to the draza boss fight, best way to beat him find is just bum rush him with melee, it drags on but it worked for me
It was a special game, but the blue apes and the weak antagonist last boss fight put it down a couple of points for me. The first 3/4 of the game were amazing. And it has the best mp in the series.
The final boss fight of Unch 2 is still the best final boss fight of any Uncharted game though.
I got a question, how does Drake not have the will to kill one of the most evil men ever put on the planet, but has the will to kill hundreds of random mercenary thugs?
I don't think he lacks the will. Lazarevich wanted Drake to kill him, so as one last "fuck you", he didn't give him the satisfaction and left him to die by the hands of others.
Are you serious? He was already beaten. He wasn’t even armed
This one and the 4th one are my favorite
I hope you'll make a review on Uncharted 4
I had something close to 30hours just on the online multiplayer of this game
played this game at target
What do you mean every gun has its own unique type of bullets? That has always been the case...
Yeah, I don’t know what he’s talking about either. I also HARD disagree Lazarevic made any kind of point when he said “you’re no different from me”
8:38 Yeah but the AK uses 7.62 and the M4 5.56
Out of the Trilogy this is the easiest to get into and flows the best. Uncharted 3 made me lose interest in that desert stage and the level design is more confusing.
It's only these bullshit puzzles. Setpieces were amazing
@@nicoffee777 the set pieces is what made me get that game
Yeah the pacing for 3 kinda felt off, the puzzles were ????? and for the title alone I actually expected a DARKER story than what I got. But I appreciated what it did for the exposition and relationship of the characters
Gameplay wise, I love how I was able to stand a chance against enemies with shields, bulky armor, and throw back grenades. I wish grenade throwback actually returned in 4..
“Sully, kick her out and shut the door we’re safer in here” is one of my favorite lines in the entire series.
What I find funny is that Nate would prefer to stay in the cell than lock Chloe in the cell.
Oh no, its alright. Look, I even have my own bucket! Last cell I was in, the 8 of us had to share
@@Smiley0.1 yeah, that's the whole joke...
@@MrGister9999 I never realized it was a joke, I just thought Nate would say something like "Sully, toss her in her shut the door and let's get outta here quickly."
Uncharted is that one franchise that I’ll never stop replaying over and over again!
No game will ever look as good to me as uncharted 2 did the first time I played it, up till then I had only ever had Nintendo games, but in 2010 my dad got me the PS3 uncharted 2 bundle and he hooked it up to his huge HD flat screen and when that first image popped up of Nathan's bloodied face sitting in the derailed train my jaw was on the fucking floor man
That’s so fucking awesome yo I’m 2010 I was still trying to clear my list of ps2 games
I had a similar experience with GTA 4. Up until then I had only played Gamecube and Wii, and seeing the grandness of Liberty City in HD was mindblowing.
Uncharted 2 on HD TV's back in the day was jaw dropping indeed. Never seen something as good and I was obsessed
The Uncharted games especially Uncharted 2 highlight how great linear games can be. When I see the majority of new games nowadays are open world, it makes be believe the current industry has not a clue about what makes a great game and wrongfully think open world is all we want to play now.
Uncharted franchise is, not a game. It's just not. Anyone who says it's a game, are nongamers, people who don't enjoy gaming but enjoy watching movies or tv shows. Calling uncharted a game is an insult to gaming. Naughty dog has hurt gaming in a way that it's still suffering to this day and will continue to suffer.
Linear games can be fun, resident evil, metal gear solid, prince of persia, etc...are all linear games, but they are good games bcos they had proper gameplay, uncharted does not have proper gameplay, it's either fake platforming or bland gears of war. And that's pretty much it as far as gameplay goes. The rest is just cutscenes.
I will never forgive naughty dog for what they did to gaming.
With the level of polish that open world games are reaching now (Horizon, GoT, etc) a linear game a la Uncharted would need to be seriously amazing, technically and in storytelling. Like TLOU 2.
@@waveplay3978 You make it sound like making an amazing linear game technically and storytelling is impossible. One does come along occasionally still and they are selling extremely well. Just naming one recent example, Guardians of the Galaxy. And I am sure there are some you have enjoyed. Then, there have been some open world games that are just meh or too big for their own good.
@@therandomguy2441 Wdym by "what they did to gaming"? If you mean how they popularized that genre among developers and gamers, its just you having an unpopular opinion. For that to happen, there would need to be active demand for that type of game, which there definitely is as proven by this comment. If its just to this series in general, it's not for you considering thats whats its mainly been about since the first game
@@muggerpugger3231 i mean, fake gameplay, walkey talkey sections, long ass cutscenes, lackluster gameplay in the name of cinematic set pieces....
That's what I mean by "what they did to gaming".
Linear storydriven game genre has always been popular. They didn't popularize the genre, they popularized the poor gameplay that is now plaguing all linear games and even open world games to a certain extent.
Tomb raider is the best example of this.
I haven't had a playstation since I was a kid, but I remember playing Uncharted 2 for the first time, and I loved it so much. I never played the first one, and I for some reason didn't think it was all that popular, so imagine my shock when I see a fucken subway commercial for the third game, like days after I beat the second one.
They did heavily advertise UC3. I remember vividly seeing it on TV and UA-cam nonstop.
The first uncharted was popular. Uncharted 2 would not have been the blockbuter it was, if the first game had done poorly.
That said, Among Thieves was a masterclass, in interactive storytelling, that withdrew all the fluff from Uc1(like the motion controls), and doubled down on everything the first game did well.
my dad was part of the first wave of consumers for a PS3 so we got the fat model when it was like 700 bucks, mainly so my dad could have a blu-ray player for his mancave when those were MORE expensive than a console with one inside. since my parents are divorced, i only got to play games on it on the weekend until eventually, he bought another slim model bundled with Uncharted 2. He kept the slim model for himself, and gave me the fat one and Uncharted 2 along with other games he wasn't interested in. i loved that machine and game until the day it died.
@@WeencieRants that was also right at the time Sony changed their PS3 advertising, going with that Kevin Butler guy and comedic scripts. Basically, that era of advertising is responsible for the PS3 eventually outselling the X360.
I really miss Uncharted 2’s multiplayer. The gunplay was probably the best for it next to 4. A lot of good memories out of this one.
The simplistic yet diverse nature of only having 3 ar’s was absolutely brilliant. The fal and ak47 had their respective advantages and weaknesses while the m4 remained a bit of a catchall as the top tier but making it only available thru ground loot was perfectly balanced. Hit boxes were phenomenal and the cover system/blindfire metas reminiscent of gears was amazing. All in all a superb multiplayer experience that could have easily been competitive.
@@nicjuls7382 haaaaaard agree.
@@nicjuls7382 you’ve just nailed what i loved about uncharted 2s multiplayer, it felt so good to play
16:47 I will admit this boss fight took me a couple of years to complete I just replayed the campaign over and over
edit: I'm not gonna cap I know for a fact I was easy mode I'm trash at video games I know but I beat Thiefs end on hard
I had a similar experience.
on my first hard play through the boss battle kicked my ass more than any other game I've ever played lol
Oof on crushing was scary, I never had any trouble with the game (aside from the train part) and never beaten the game until 2021 because I was stuck on the village and was trying to blow up the tank.
On hard difficulty I finished the boss fight first time. It was the few chapters beforehand that made me want to throw my controller at the wall.
I love this game so much. Although I prefer 4, this is such a remarkably solid and infinitely repayable experience I can’t help but love it. What an insane glow up (in more ways than one) from this game to the first. Cant wait to watch the video!
I’ll never forget being an 8 year old kid opening up my PlayStation 3 on Christmas with this game with it. The feeling of experiencing the set pieces for the first time being completely immersed in the world is something I’ll never let go of. 4 is definitely the best, but 2 will forever hold that special place in my heart
4 is garbage
@@Bolter024 In your opinion
@@Bolter024 >4 is garbage
>doesn't elaborate

@@catcraze8673 😎😎
The second will forever have the best setpieces in the entire franchise.
Yes! In this game the setpieces are almost always combined with actual gameplay. In U4 almost every setpiece is just a short cutscene, which loses its effect rather quickly. Especially on repeat playthroughs
I bought the game came back at home , put that game in my ps3 .. did the single story mode first and after that i jumped into multiplayer and i played i dotn know how many games but holy shit i was having fun
i had the pleasure to play through all 4 of the games, especially the first three one after another back in 2011.
and let me tell you, the best one in the series is definitely Uncharted 2, it had the most interesting story and personally its my favorite.
the first game was really nice, it had its many flaws which in some cases made it insanely difficult but in general for an early PS3 game it was pretty good.
and the 3rd game felt way too easy, the story just felt like a copy-paste of Uncharted 2 just with more filler chapters for no real reason honestly.
as for the 4th game, it honestly was on-par as the 2nd game for the most part, though the ending was actually pretty surprising (i didn't think they would fast-forward time in the ending THAT much but i'm not going to spoil it for you if you didn't play it yet).
i didn't really play the spin-off games (The Lost Legacy and Golden abyss), from what i know Golden Abyss is extremely generic and kind of dull but filled to the brim with the Vita's gimmicky controls for no reason, but The Lost Legacy is actually a pretty decent background story game for Chloe.
i do have both of them, but the only one i'd probably play someday would be The Lost Legacy, Golden Abyss sounds does not sound exciting enough for me for me to take my Vita out of its drawer again lol
Golden abyss was actually pretty good. The face touch controls were great. The rear touch controls, not so much. The coolest part was doing rubbings and stuff, where you were basically creating Nate's iconic notepad.
Other than that, it's a fairly standard Uncharted game. Would be great, if they did a remastered PS4/5 version of it(Like Ubisoft did For the Assassin's Creed Vita title)
I love how you start off during the middle of the story and then go back and then come back to that same point and relive it. It gives the game a nice touch.
"F*ck you guys, thank you!" Ah, I never felt so apreciated in my life.
Great video but don't blackout with all the work you're getting.
Thank you Amy Hennig for this masterpiece. It shows the power of linear story-driven games. Even though it's linear, it's so enjoyable that you can replay it over and over again. Ironically most open world that in theory are made to be replayed have 0 replayability because the vast world feels hollow and with less focus on the story they are not as memorable (Witcher 3 is the exception).
It's the perfect mix of action, story, set pieces, characters and pacing. I don't know if Uncharted 2 is the best game ever, but it couldn't be done any better.
12:13 idk my guy, watching you play I can tell, at least from my perspective oc, that we played the game entirely differently. What I like about Uncharted is the verticality and mobility of the gameplay during fight pieces, in my opinion, that's what sets it apart from other TPS, you are constantly moving, shooting from the hip, grabbing other weapons, ambushing/punching enemies, using stealth jumping/climbing to the higher ground, etc, etc. I, at least, am constantly moving from cover to open areas and so on, I rarely use the aim button unless is an sniper rifle or something like that
So it's gears of war. It's literally gears of war. I dont see why I would pick uncharted to play gears of war. I would much rather get gears of war.
Like, what's the GAMEPLAY? Fake platforming and gears of war. That's all that I have noticed in uncharted franchise. I played uncharted 2 and 4, and I didn't enjoy either of them.
@@therandomguy2441 that's cute. You out are here trying to say gears of War is better than uncharted. That's laughable
@@Mbolf24 that's, true tho. Yes, gears of war is infact better than uncharted. It's laughable to say uncharted is a game. Uncharted series is an insult to gaming. Naughty dog has hurt gaming in a way that it still suffers even to this day and I will never forgive naughty dog for what it did to gaming.
@@Mbolf24 just think for a sec, what gameplay does uncharted have? Like i said, fake platforming and gears of war. Except that gears of war does cover shooting a lot better. Obviously i dont want fake platforming, and If i want cover based shooting i would get gears of war. So why would I buy uncharted?
Gears of war is literally better than uncharted, and that's saying something.
The music alone makes this game one of the best games of all time. Every time I load the game up and the uncharted theme kicks in the nostalgia just rushes over me like a wave. Such a beautiful game and beautiful journey. I used to replay the demo over and over before finally getting the game for Christmas. Absolute masterpiece imo even if the gameplay is a bit old school by todays standards.
This game was my childhood and really my first introduction into single player adventure games aside from ratchet and clank:a crack in time I remember being so in awe with the opening sequence,also that multiplayer is underrated
The multiplayer was awesome! But Sadly the multiplayer is gone forever
Again, you have continued to entertain me, so It is me who say thank you, 😊
I think the underlining them of Uncharted 2 is the morality of thievery. It's why it's called Among Thieves, its short for "honor among thieves." Nathan, Chloe, Finn, and Lazarevic all inhabit their own spot on the spectrum of ethics when it comes to the profession of treasure hunting and thievery. It's why there are so many jabs at Nate during the game about him being the good guy. It's why Lazarevic brings up Nathan's kill count at the end. Because no matter how honorable Nathan claims to be, he's still part of a lifestyle that brings alot of bloodshed and greed. It's about about dubious nature of trying to be the good guy in a lifestyle that doesn't support it.
I left a comment on the first Uncharted video in which I mentioned how I only recently played the franchise for the first time. After finishing Uncharted 1 I could totally see the bright future ahead. I could see the flaws in the execution of the first game and I remember saying to myself "There's definitely something here. I feel like more polished action sequences and a greater focus on great set pieces would make the formula of the first game shine brighter." Uncharted 2 DELIVERED. I genuinely feel like there's a huge jump in almost every single aspect when it comes to Among Thieves. The visual presentations is similar when it comes to pure graphics but the actual presentation and visual style is just overall better. Uncharted 1 had a lot of unpolish looking buildings that felt like giant blocks of cement with climbable divots put into them. Uncharted 2 on the other hand puts a lot of effort into making each area feel unique and visually striking. The buildings in Nepal (I think that's the city lol) all legitimately feel real and are so fun to climb around and fight in. The simple improvement of the melee system is basic but it does a great job at making those encounters more fun to play. The action set pieces are GREAT and there's so many of them. Genuinely still some of the most memorable in the story. The incredible train sequence, the exciting helicopter fight in the city that this video does such a great job describing, the yeti fight. They're all great and very memorable! The first game had a few things like this but they were farther apart and some of them sucked, like the jet ski segments.
Honestly, this video does a great job at detailing some of the complaints I would have with this game. As well as some of the things that make it so great. However, there are some things I disagree with. For example I agree that the puzzles in this game are similarly simple and just follow what your notebook says kind of things from the first game. The whole franchise has that problem in general. I do think though that even if they're not very challenging the puzzles in this game manage to be A LOT more memorable than those of the first game and that's solely because of scope. In the first game you'd enter a room and move around some statues or press some switches. In this game you climb around a giant statue and move it around. Fundamentally they're the same kind of puzzles but they just feel grander.
Lastly another thing I don't entirely agree with is the story. Don't get me wrong, I think the videos idea that the story retraces a lot of threads from the first game and how the story falls apart if you start picking at it are true. I just feel like it doesn't really matter. Who cares if the story falls apart if you start picking at it, you can do that to some of the most influential and iconic movies of all time. As long as they serve their purpose and feel believable to the gameplay I think its fine. Another thing is just that I feel like the story in Uncharted 2 is just told way better. The beats are all punchier and cleaner. The cutscenes move fast and tell you exactly what you need to know in a more effective fashion then the first game did. Starting the story from half way in and jumping back is a bit of a cliché trope but it works REALLY well for Uncharted. Since a big point of the franchise is trying to get the player to feel like their playing a movie I feel. I just genuinely think the story is told in such a well paced and well directed fashion. That's why I feel like it surpasses the first game.
Also I agree that the final boss kinda bad but I think it should be given some credit since it's the only final boss in an Uncharted game that feels like a boss. With like an actual mechanic and gameplay and not a mini game or just a shoot out.
Excellent video though, I can't wait to see what your thoughts on Uncharted 3 are.
Each Uncharted game is timeless. I will replay them for many years to come. Just a perfect series of games.
I got TND collection and 4 for like 8 quid each last year, I was very late to the party.
1, 2 and 3 i enjoyed well enough but I didn't find them that special, i fucking hated the random insane spikes in difficulty like fighting the demon things in 3 and the super awkward boss fights like at the end of 1.
4 however, wow. What a game, probably the best and prettiest game I've ever played with the exception of really new stuff like Ghosts of Tsushima
Can’t wait for your uncharted 4 review. Probably one of my fav games of all time. Excellent video Aqua!!!!
So i just recently replayed all of the games on brutal difficulty in anticipation for the movie (which bombed) but I remeber the final boss fight all too well 16:30 I was raging at how to defeat angry russian man, until i learned that if you hit a sap pod and stunned him you could unload a rifle magazine in his face and the entire boss fight ends in like 7 minutes
For me uncharted 2 was not very good and it was very frustrating.Last summer l tried playing it on crushing just to get the trophies for the ps3 and my god it was a nightmare!! This game was so hard even on normal or maybe easy if you are not that flexible because in every fight there are 30 + enemies shooting at you at once AND THEY NEVER DIE and you die all the time .The story had potential but it was executed poorly espesially the characters !! The enviroments were kinda ok but still there were places like the train sequence that it is not easy to cover . Actually there are plenty of things that don't make sence in this game and are stupid ... here is why ua-cam.com/video/orug7Y-X3DQ/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/Pp2PrrnfUug/v-deo.html
Though it ain't that bad of a game and l kinda get why people like this game but l would not put this up from uncharted 4 and especially uncharted 3.
I love how we dislike on a game that is 13 whopping years old! 13! It's in a time of PS3, at a time of demolishing every other game out there on all consoles. Uncharted was very story directed, and did many things that no other game did like it. All in all games simply progress and we are at the PS5 era. But when I compare these games Uncharted 1,2,3,4 to Halo infinite, in many ways I find even the older Uncharted games FROM PS3 era to be better more detailed looking than Halo Infinite on a PS5 level hardware console. For example Naughty Dog's Last of Us II on PS4 completely and utterly destroys Halo. So it's interesting. From my perspective I am surprised Uncharted games look as great as they do for their respective release dates.
Well, Reach is better than Infinite. So there's that.
as far as those brute enemies go, they tank damage because you can't just shoot their arms, legs, or bodies. you're supposed to shoot off their helmets, which only takes a couple of bullets to the head, then you can finished them off with a headshot. its interesting that you even show a clip of one of their helmets getting shot off and didn't quite make that connection, considering you were headshotting most enemies in Drakes Fortune.
Uncharted will always hold a special place in my heart, one of the most iconic and influential video game series for sure
It's certainly still my favorite. I started a new playthrough a while back on Crushing difficulty, and it has been destroying me but it's been so much fun at the same time.
When I first played uncharted 2 i called it the most disappointing game of the 2009, it’s not a terrible game there are some good things i this game but overall I was so disappointed
Uncharted 2 just has that unique vibe that the others can’t match. Great vid Aqua 🤙
I have a hard time choosing between uncharted 2 and 4 because I love them for very different reasons. I love uncharted 4 for it's more slower adventurous pace and mature storytelling. Uncharted 2 I love for being just a tightly wound replayable fun adventure that never gets old
That's EXACTLY how I feel
Uncharted 2 was my first game on ps3. I was 15 and really liked it. I think it's still great after so many years.
I just got my hands on a PS4 and am playing through the series for the first time ever (played Uncharted 4 first on a friend's PS4 couple of years ago)
Frankly, the first Uncharted hasn't aged well at all for me, I can see how it would've been amazing back when it came out but in the present day, it felt tedious to get through and I had to push myself through it rather than feeling compelled to continue like the best games do.
Uncharted 2 on the other hand, has aged like the finest wine. I've spent hours in photo mode alone, the graphics, especially the art direction and the lighting are gorgeous even in 2022/23 and the train section had me so awe-struck I immediately came to UA-cam and found this video, currently at Tenzin's village and I can see this video has some spoilers so I'll return once I finish the game but it's already an all time classic in my eyes, but not the first one, no offense to those who enjoyed it when it came out and continue to enjoy replaying it today, just...don't think I'll ever wanna replay that again.
thats funny I've never played them either and I just did the same I've had the Nathan drake collection since it came out and never played it, I just beat the first 2 in like four days now I'm gonna play the third tomorrow. the first was fun but by the zombie creatures I was like ok let's get this over with and play the 2nd...the 2nd started out kinda slow but once it picked up I was all in.
