@@deviantrat6001 Actually, it's intended to be played on PS4, it's twice the FPS, higher definition textured. And you know... they remastered it for a reason.
It sounds cliche, but the Uncharted series got me through high school and my stressful years while earning my Bachelor's and Masters degrees. While each have their respective faults, the unique vibe and lore shine through.
Same dude. Been playing uncharted ever since freshmen year of high school and always revisit the series every couple of months. It’s such a great escape from life and transports me back to simpler times and makes me forget about college and stuff lol. Uncharted was def a coping mechanism for me although it sounds weird.
This review just needed to not spoil the franchise. He completely spoils two of the few things he could have. Our female lead (the far better of the two I have met) will be oddly popping up in the franchise with little reason, and he even goes on about she always done it at odd times. Giving away none of the treasure will ever really be that impressive was just a completely petty and stupid thing to say. I would have really appreciated experiencing both these things. The odd stupid stuff is part of what made it bearable to trudge through combat in the first two. I doubt I will be able to finish 2 and move forward.
I don't really understand your argument about jumping out of the plane. By the time they realise there's anti-aircraft firing at them, the plane is already on fire. How would they then turn around and go get reinforcements in a broken plane in the middle of *uncharted* territory? Their first instinct is to survive. Therefore jumping out the plane is the instinctive and most rational thing to do. From then on Nathan Drake's goals aren't about finding the treasure, it's finding Elena, and then finding a way off the island. This seems like a logical progression to me.
@@jackchambers2617 actually, Iam being serious. I was chilling on a beach and then cops started chasing me, I ran into a cave. I went under water because part of the cave was submerged. It was a foot away with massive jagged teeth. Smashed my head against sharp rocks then ate my head. Its one of my top 10 disturbing dreams.
I let out an audible "what the fuck" the first time I saw them, because who expects zombies in the middle of their Indiana Jones adventure? I mean I didn't
Drake kills hundreds of pirates WHO ARE TRYING TO KILL HIM. If you recall Drake doesn't care about the treasure after the plane crash. He's just trying to get off the island until he notices sully is still alive. Idk seems like he's trying to survive rather than being some psychopath.
This is a really bad argument, there are so many times in the game where Nathan could have taken a different route when seeing a place where filled with enemies, there is not even a stealth option which could have mediated this, no there is a reason why people always mention the so called "ludo narrative dissonance" where something feels off.
The only people crying about this are the big dramatic people that like to be drama. All those guys are shooting at me. Period. You think too much, it's not a good look.
@@franciscor390 killing hundreds of people has nothing to do with ludonarrative dissonance. It's a problem of the scale. The shooting is the key mechanic so a player is expected to shoot people throughout the game. Different games moderate this problem differently. Uncharted has a good characterization and some pacing issues. That's why the problem seems more apparent.
I played Uncharted when it was first released. I played all of them including legacy I did not play Golden Abyss that was for playstation vita. I love the franchise I never get bored replaying the games that I even bought the remaster trilogy for PS4.
Can't agree more. It felt like watching the Indiana Jones trilogy as a kid for the first time. Except this time the fourth one wasn't a major let down!
Same, only got round to playing them back to back for the first time this year and man, it was an experiencd. 4 and 2 were incredible. The fourth was perhaps one of the best experiences I've had.
I disagree with your "no replayability" stance. Well, for me personally at least. I love the Uncharted series, and as clunky as the first game is, I replay the whole series every now and then because I adore the characters and their interactions. That's just me though
Brandon Chad Borez that’s the beauty of the internet everyone have their own opinions. Unless it’s an RPG with multiple endings I’ll never replay a game
I remember first playing the demo on PS3 back in the day and being so amazed at how Drake’s shirt animated with his movements and especially how his running animation would adapt to his situation, when in a shoot out his stance would drastically change to be more alert and he would sprint automatically not just jog. Little things that we take for granted now but was just amazing to see and notice for the first time.
Not to mention he got wet in water then slowly dried. Each uncharted game really was at the forefront of gaming. U1 = character movements, U2 = set design, fire, water. U3 took each of those up to 11, and then U4 was basically we already know it all, lets make the best set designs possible.
just for the record, the "zombie" things were spanish conquistadors, not nazis. or at least the ones nate has to fight weren't, because the one on the projector was a nazi that turned into one of them.
I finished it tonight but Nate says they are the conquistadors but he has no hard evidence for it some of them could feasibly be the Nazis hey did all kinds of weird experiments.
@@josephrigley8974 but the spaniards were the first non-natives to come in contact with el dorado. i suppose some of the monsters were probably former nazis as evidenced by that old film reel.
@@evryfckinnameistaken I had a look ont he wiki and we are supposed to assume they bred and lived there the whole time its all kinda dumb but it was one of the more fun parts of the game for me.
Some of the songs are slightly different between the two versions, and I'm actually more partial to the PS3 version's soundtrack, so I usually play that one.
Luke with the Arkham games: “I’m playing on the hardest difficulty because it’s how the developers intended it” Luke, you really don’t want to play crushing or brutal difficulty in uncharted
thisismysuperawesomeusername I walked through crushing no probs really easy especially if you use the water room glitch which is possibly the toughest fight in the game.
Your critique of Drake's Fortune's writing is really misguided. You criticise the game for having all these cliche, pulpy elements when that is exactly the point of the game. It's an homage to Indiana Jones and those old pulpy adventure films that inspired it and it recreates that experience PERFECTLY. They proved they could do it. It would be like a spy game that seeks to recreate old James Bond films having a scene where the hero is left in an easily escapable trap by the villain who then assumes he died being criticised for being cliche. Like... Yeah. That's the point.
I know right. It is like criticizing mission impossible for being "unrealistic" and "over the top", when that is exactly what they are going for. They do not take themselves seriously, and that is really important to understand while critiquing games and movies like this. If they are self aware about using cliches, criticizing them for using cliches seems kinda meaningless
This might make it easier Mature :Deals with deep themes that people have to be mature enough to understand Adult : gore and sex, you don't have to be mature to understand, it's an experience
How did not talk about how Nathan reacts when he realises Sir Francis Drake died alone without any treasure, it’s a poignant moment probs one the most memorable in this game
I think that moment is trumped when he realized the real reason Francis Drake was there. (to save the world basically.) So I think its a short lived moment.
I platinumed the game again on the remaster, and man has it aged, but I love how it became a foundation for Naughty Dog to build off of. Also, those new bonus trophies with that new Brutal mode and speedrun trial, what the hell?! Thank God I learned how to use tweaks in that mode because holy crap, I wanted to die! Anyway, I like it, but 2 was my first Uncharted.
@@ivostefanoff4946 Have to use the tweaks, even so, if you aren't careful, it won't make a difference, one shot, dead.... And I *NEVER* want to do it again lol
Most of those "zombies" are spaniards, atleast 1 German turned. Did you know that if you look at the forest in jungle parts or when you are in the monastery, you can see many different types of builts made by the descendants like bones. The game was trying to tell you this entire time that there was something weird happening on this island.
I'm one of the odd ducks who enjoyed part 3 the most. For whatever reason, the way everyone talks about and gushes over part 2, it was 3 that did thay for me. Maybe it was dying so many times during the tank attack on the village in part 2 that killed that game for me. But with 3 - getting to see the relationship with Sully start, the awesome chase scenes, the crazy cliffhanger moments - I feel like it built on 2 in every possible way.
I loved 3 the most until I played 4 but really because it was the first one that I played. I guess I'll have to replay the series to know where I stand on it now
I just played through all the uncharted games last year and it’s hard to believe that Drakes Fortune came out in 2007 this game looks incredible and gameplay really holds up on PS4 can’t wait for the rest of these critiques! Especially Uncharted 4 that game is a masterpiece.
I got to say. As someone who played this when it first came out, it was revolutionary for me atleast. The graphics were the best, the story amazing and the cover shooting was pretty common due to mass effect and gears of war.

Luke Stephens excited to watch this I just finished one and two I played four a while ago. I got them all for free this last month and I have been playing one a day.
Get reinforcments? What LOL the plane is literally about to come down. Jumping out of the plane was the only option they had...The only dumb thing Nate did was send Elena out by herself and he just sat there and he even said "What am I doing?!?!" Which made me laugh pretty hard lol
I almost agree with you about Uncharted 4. It's an amazing game, but when our much loved history buff/treasure hunters appallingly pronounce Mughal like "Muggle" I can feel my soul being ripped from my chest.
Canadish How exactly, the only thing that is similar to u2 is the opening of the game being late in the actual game, like in u2 with being in a derailed train
@@aashrithmadagiri6711 I think a major issue with 1 is that it's one story, very straight and narrow with little deviation. And so much relies on the curse and the descendants that if you don't like zombies in dark alleyways, the story kinda feels empty. Whilst uncharted 4 started small and became this epic that went from going to Scotland, to Madagascar, to a pirate colony and jungles.
Anyone who puts this game above a 6/10 is really kidding themselves. They are either letting later games effect their view of it, have a nostalgic attachment to it or are PS fans that just have a bias towards PS franchises. I would give it a 5/10 personally. Even for the time, it's nothing special outside of the graphics. Just finished it myself and I have to say, coming from TLOU+2, this game is absolute garbage, they have come a long way.
Genuinely shocked how few subscribers you have for the level of quality of the content you put out. Absolutely phenomenal work as usual Luke! Keen to see you cover the rest of the series!
Even if you're not a professional speedrunner, I think this game is most fun when you try to speed through as fast as you can and this game is just unintentionally hilarious and even more so when you play as fast as possible that's what I enjoy about it
Recently played through all of them in lockdown. The first one very much disappointed me, Among Thieves and A Thief's End very much pleasantly surprised me again. My favourite Uncharted part ever might be in Libertalia, especially finding the letters in the mansions and, in the end, the large 'dinner room'. Amazing.
ND was trying to appeal to Indiana Jones adventure lovers, young through old. Not the "mature" audiences specifically. The first game has massive similarities to Raiders of the Lost Ark. They also had a hard time grasping development for the PS3 which is why Uncharted 2 is so much better. Love the video btw.
5. Drake's Fortune (horrible game even at the time imo) 4. Uncharted 3 (awesome setpieces, average story with tons of plot holes) 3. Lost Legacy (Chloe and Nadine make a great team, great scenery, my favorite puzzles and locations in the series, highly underrated) 2. Uncharted 2 (no explanation needed) 1. Uncharted 4 (no explanation needed)
My problem with A Thieves End is that it didn't have enough of a variety of locations like in 2 and 3. The final act on the island is too long and takes up a large chunk of the game. Also, the women empowerment in the writing is a little too preachy. How does a woman beat up Nathan Drake (who has bested hundreds if not thousands of mercenaries) and his brother at the same time? Come on now.
*1.* 4- A Thief's End (best story, best locations, best characters, especially Rafe, And best gameplay along with Lost Legacy) *2.* 3- Drake's Deception (the same as 4 but slightly worse) *3.* Lost Legacy (most relaxing, enjoyable character development and 2nd best villan) *4.* 2- Among Thief's (good story and puzzles but very frustrating at times) *5.* Drake's Fortune (speaks for itself)
You are actually wrong, a notebook saved a soldiers life who was shot with a gun, he held it in his pocket on the left side of his chest, he would have died if the small notebook wasn't there. I cannot prove it but I saw it in a Yugoslav war museum in Croatia.
I wish people wouldn't throw ludonarrative dissonance around so much. It doesn't add to a critique when you don't understand what the term really means.
It’s just a pretentious way of saying something that it might not actually mean Elitists like saying that it means what it did with that dude that critiqued Bioshock, meaning that it will rarely ever mean the same thing again I think people should just not say it because it makes them sound like a pompous tool
I got hooked to the first game and how real the voice actors made it. It didn’t seem like they were reading off a script it sounded fluid and natural and in uncharted 2 I love that the characters actions and voices were in sync.
I tried playing Drake's Fortune and had to stop pretty early on because the FOV and camera angles were giving me some serious motion sickness that I usually only feel when trying to play 1st person POV games.
If you think Uncharted's story is not plausible or logical, give the Yakuza series a try. Now THAT is some amazingly ridiculous writing where character emotion rules over logic pretty much every time. Drake's Fortune tries really hard to justify it's wilder elements and make them plausible and I feel it succeeds a lot more than you give it credit for. (seriously, play Yakuza! It's wild, it's dumb and it's 100% brilliant)
I only just recently competed the first game four times in a row followed by the sequel. Such a classic game and is so much *fun!* It also helped me cope while my dog, Merlin was ill and then passed away soon after. 💕
The Uncharted series has been an absolute pleasure to play. I've been recording them for my channel, and now currently up to Uncharted 3. I've thoroughly loved and been lost in the world of Nathan Drake, and I only wish I'd discovered the game sooner. I would love to know if anyone has any recommendations for "similar" games to this, as I will be so sad to come to an end after I've finished uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy.
This video was fantastic and very funny! Perfect duration as well Luke. I think as much as I love the long style videos, shorter videos like these are a bit easier to take in for a new, growing audience.
Bearded Dragons can live up to 12 years, so i think around 9 or 10 he will be in his 60's in bearded dragon years. So you can expect Villentretenmerth to try and get Luke along on a treasure hunt then. It's pretty par for the course for pet bearded dragons to do so.
Best game experience ever - what else do we need in a game apart from having some fun, great story and great gameplay . Not sure what the critique trying to say ... confused as F*ck
6:28 LMFAOOOO yeah you did get me there. Everytime I wanna play through the series I watch videos over the first one. Force my self through the 2nd and thoroughly enjoy the 3rd and 4th one.
@20:15 hes complaining about how nathan jumped the plane like hes had a choice to turn around... the plane was on fire and going down and they were shot down before he even knew about the aa turrets
13:36 I don't think it was echoed directly on Nate and Sam. Sam was way more interested in money than Nate, of course. However, during the game Sam is portrayed as the pirate expert and he is really interested in the work of their mother. I think money is his big interested, but I think he is way more invested into history than Sully was in the first game.
I agree with most of what you said, and even though I was a little but hurt considering this was the first ps3 games I ever played, upon comparing them to the later entries it all stands up. However, I do feel like a lot of these clichés or grievances could be applied to any action game or movie -like you argued- but I kinda think that’s the point, uncharted was always, I feel, intended to be a satire or at least homage to Indiana Jones and tomb raider, over the top, but with loveable charactets to ground it. I always was able to suspend my disbelief and I don’t think it’s over-the-top-ness is a weakness.
22:11 Yk what’s funny…Sully wearing a different Hawaiian shirt implies that he bought a new one since he did not have access to his luggage after being captured. 😂I like to think he told Roman “Look I’ll help you find the treasure..but I ain’t gonna help while I’m sweating in this red shirt like a hooker in church”🤷♂️
Hey Luke, could you explain more on why you think the series has a case of ludonarrative dissonance? I think it’s pretty neutral in its ludonarrative. Drake kills people, yeah, but not unreasonably in a way that wouldn’t fit him. He’s a treasure hunter and is usually hunted by other groups, so it makes sense he’d get into gun fights so often. His killing sprees are in self defense. I think GTA would be a great example of ludonarrative dissonance, but not Uncharted. Is it the sheer amount of waves of soldiers he fights that causes dissonance for you?
I remember when this demo came out, it blew me away. I played the demo for months until I finally got the game for Christmas. The game definitely has its flaws but it was a lot of fun.
24:10 it was the most comically fun in ready player one where the villan had a fucking research department for finding an object yet they get out done by a few kids
Uncharted Drake’s Fortune is so good, I loved the island, Nate, Sully and Elena were all great characters, Eddy Raja was a really cool character, it was great to see him and Nate team up towards the end, the story was good, lots of fun action and exploration along with a great sense of mystery throughout the game, the Descendants, especially the Bunker section was really well done, great game still enjoy replaying it 👏👏👏👏
Talking about “all the Uncharted games”, pointing out that everyone forgets about Lost Legacy, but leaving our Golden Abyss? I know it’s not made by Naughty Dog, but it’s still a good game and part of the franchise.
As one of the 20 people that actually got a Vita it is really solid for what it is. Drake actually feels the most like a historian in that game than in the others and learning about the civilisation through the artefacts you find added more to the experience of the game. Underrated gem imo
I just replayed this game a few weeks ago due to the quarantine situation. I actually enjoyed replaying it. I replayed all of them except the 3rd one lost me and didn't care to do the 5th one.
I am not biased towards you because I’m not currently a follower, so, I can say this with utmost honesty: this “critique” is just lame. Why in the world are you criticizing a game made more than a decade ago, and putting it up to the standards of today’s industry? Like, fine, let me go ahead and criticize freaking Pac-Man, for not having more variety in enemies, and being so repetitive, because Skyrim has way more things going on. Come on.
Well considering that the sequel that came out only two years later still holds up, I don't think time is an excuse. I mean bioshock and halo 3 came out the same year, games that are still held to the same standard. Plus he said that there were reviews bashing the mechanics back then.
Well if he made a critique based on what he would've felt about the game 10 years ago it wouldn't make more sense? It's because we live in the present. If someone wants to try the game he would be better informed with the most recent review
I’ve played the first Uncharted 5 times now. Given that I played in 3 different languages in total but still, love the game, the old feeling of it. And maybe because I find that old stylish mechanics which feel so much like an arcade game (combined with a story, characters and one liners)
One thing that laughably bothered me with uncharted was the narrow escapes. I know theyre part of this type game/genre but they were laughably convenient and abundant. To this day when i see convenient narrow escapes i think of uncharted.
Played the shit out of the first three games when I was younger (especially Uncharted 2) and also enjoyed A Thief’s End. Would love to see you review all of them in separate videos !!!
The first time I played an uncharted game was when my Dad bought it at blockbuster when I was at shcool he bought UNCHARTED 2 and at the time I didn’t knew anything about uncharted I didn’t even knew that Uncharted existed at the time so when I arrived to my house my dad gave it to me and I saw the box cover and it looked cool I guess but when i played that game for the first time man I remember waking up at 2 AM on a Saturday just to play until the sun got up my eyes where al bloodshed and I lost the track of time , then Uncharted 3 boy was I exited when I saw that a friend of mine had it I ran to my local blockbuster and bought it ( had to pass all my exams first… thanks dad ) and man what a game , Uncharted 1 I knew it had to exist but I never paid attention to it but I got curious and bought it , now imagine playing 2 y 3 and then playing 1 for the first time after playing 2 y 3 … yep not a good experience but I liked the story and the nazi zombies scared the crap out of me… they still do and I liked the ending then with Uncharted 4 I was so exited I even put it on my Christmas list even tho the game wasn’t out yet I counted the days until it camed out finally after like 2 years same as 2 played it until I myself died or my mom got angry and told me to go to sleep and shut the console off now I’m 20 and still play uncharted thanks Noughty Dog for giving me a childhood to remember
A game that delivered a solid 6-7/10 experience. Delivered quirky characters each with their own brand of personality and certain charms. And had tons of potential which was realized in subsequent releases. The only downsides to me were the repetitive scenery and a very very specific nitpick on the Nathan drake collection where I wish you could watch the cutscenes in its original frame rate.
Fun fact, Uncharted 4 has a trophy called Ludonarrative Dissonance. Either way, I like Uncharted 1 as a nice character introduction. It establishes the main characters and their relationships well. It has aged well, but serves its purpose either way.
Just played it for the first time. Love the characters. The graphics for a game made in 2007 are simply stunning even in 2020. The treasure hunting aspect is amazing, the A.I is incredibly smart, and the first beginning chapters are absolutely perfect. Now...this game is freaking hard. Really hard. I started out playing normal, but halfway through the game I had to switch it to easy. EVEN on easy the game is flipping hard! They throw so much at you at once at so many times, you would think this game is a twitch shooter, but with clunky controls that infuriate you. You can tell the game was made to be very difficult, and test your skills.
sully mentioned that “he’s up to his eyeballs in debt” in chapter 2 which explains why he’s after the statue for money and when roman captures the two he tells nate that sullivan owes him a lot of money so yes there is an explanation to their past relationship, just a few details you missed
My biggest gripe with the Uncharted games has always been the shooting. The guns feel like they have zero weight and the enemies are massive bullet sponges. I found Uncharted 4 to be the worst for this. The amount of bullets I had to pump into people even on normal difficulty was ridiculous
themarine0316 you liking it doesn't mean it's a good game. I pushed myself to play it only because the controls are pretty clunky, but I do think it was an important game
One man subjects himself while another revels - agree to disagree. Nice videos though, thanks for making these and I can’t wait until all the parts are released
uncharted drake’s fortune is kinda clunky because Nathan would jump 20 feet but sometimes can’t jump 2 feet

Little things that we take for granted now but was just amazing to see and notice for the first time.
Not to mention he got wet in water then slowly dried. Each uncharted game really was at the forefront of gaming. U1 = character movements, U2 = set design, fire, water. U3 took each of those up to 11, and then U4 was basically we already know it all, lets make the best set designs possible.
Michael exactly I remember standing under the waterfall and just watching him get wet then dry lol
still looks great today in the remastered version. Extremely impressive for an '07 game.
just for the record, the "zombie" things were spanish conquistadors, not nazis. or at least the ones nate has to fight weren't, because the one on the projector was a nazi that turned into one of them.
I finished it tonight but Nate says they are the conquistadors but he has no hard evidence for it some of them could feasibly be the Nazis hey did all kinds of weird experiments.
@@josephrigley8974 but the spaniards were the first non-natives to come in contact with el dorado. i suppose some of the monsters were probably former nazis as evidenced by that old film reel.
@@evryfckinnameistaken I had a look ont he wiki and we are supposed to assume they bred and lived there the whole time its all kinda dumb but it was one of the more fun parts of the game for me.
@@josephrigley8974 they didn't breed lol I assume they just lived for ages idk. you gotta turn your brain off with uncharted.
@@evryfckinnameistaken thats what the wiki said I dont think any of the explanations made sense really.
Drake's Fortune isn't perfect, but it was important.
It isn't even good, it decent at best
You sir are %100 correct correct.
Simon48 yep I agree with you too sir
@@Simon-oy7kf It served its purpose. It introduced us to fun characters and laid the groundwork for future cinematic games.
One Man Productions But looking at its now it is kinda clunky and pretty mediocre compared to other uncharted titles, it is a classic but not perfect.
I still remember first Time playing it. I was blown away for those graphics. Story etc... It was real love at first time
drake's fortune is best played on the nathan drake collection
What is different then the original
PS3 masterace 30fps
Some of the songs are slightly different between the two versions, and I'm actually more partial to the PS3 version's soundtrack, so I usually play that one.
@@colonelkernel2959 60fps
@@ryanschmidt3913 *usually?* How fucking much do you play it?
Luke with the Arkham games: “I’m playing on the hardest difficulty because it’s how the developers intended it”
Luke, you really don’t want to play crushing or brutal difficulty in uncharted
PopCultureWorld I tried crushing and it was honestly fucking painful. 2 shots to die every time. Did it on hard but I’m gonna play normal for the rest
@@thisismysuperawesomeusername Two shots? That sounds more like Brutal Difficulty.
thisismysuperawesomeusername I walked through crushing no probs really easy especially if you use the water room glitch which is possibly the toughest fight in the game.
Hunter Wolff-Schollmeyer most of the time, 1 shot on brutal
Crushing isn't all that bad, at least on the ps4 versions.
Your critique of Drake's Fortune's writing is really misguided.
You criticise the game for having all these cliche, pulpy elements when that is exactly the point of the game.
It's an homage to Indiana Jones and those old pulpy adventure films that inspired it and it recreates that experience PERFECTLY.
They proved they could do it.
It would be like a spy game that seeks to recreate old James Bond films having a scene where the hero is left in an easily escapable trap by the villain who then assumes he died being criticised for being cliche.
Like... Yeah. That's the point.
You know that you can make a homage to something without taking every bit of cliche from it, right?
You could if you made a game. They didn't.
I know right. It is like criticizing mission impossible for being "unrealistic" and "over the top", when that is exactly what they are going for. They do not take themselves seriously, and that is really important to understand while critiquing games and movies like this. If they are self aware about using cliches, criticizing them for using cliches seems kinda meaningless
his critiscisms were right tho. This game sucks
yes, thank you
This might make it easier
Mature :Deals with deep themes that people have to be mature enough to understand
Adult : gore and sex, you don't have to be mature to understand, it's an experience
How did not talk about how Nathan reacts when he realises Sir Francis Drake died alone without any treasure, it’s a poignant moment probs one the most memorable in this game
I think that moment is trumped when he realized the real reason Francis Drake was there. (to save the world basically.) So I think its a short lived moment.
All these years later, my kids and I still laugh about the "zombies". Trope or not, it was scary, hilarious, and fun.
I platinumed the game again on the remaster, and man has it aged, but I love how it became a foundation for Naughty Dog to build off of. Also, those new bonus trophies with that new Brutal mode and speedrun trial, what the hell?! Thank God I learned how to use tweaks in that mode because holy crap, I wanted to die! Anyway, I like it, but 2 was my first Uncharted.
MATE! You... platinumed it? How? You beat it on BRUTAL! HELL!
@@ivostefanoff4946 Have to use the tweaks, even so, if you aren't careful, it won't make a difference, one shot, dead.... And I *NEVER* want to do it again lol
Most of those "zombies" are spaniards, atleast 1 German turned. Did you know that if you look at the forest in jungle parts or when you are in the monastery, you can see many different types of builts made by the descendants like bones. The game was trying to tell you this entire time that there was something weird happening on this island.
I'm one of the odd ducks who enjoyed part 3 the most. For whatever reason, the way everyone talks about and gushes over part 2, it was 3 that did thay for me. Maybe it was dying so many times during the tank attack on the village in part 2 that killed that game for me. But with 3 - getting to see the relationship with Sully start, the awesome chase scenes, the crazy cliffhanger moments - I feel like it built on 2 in every possible way.
I loved 3 the most until I played 4 but really because it was the first one that I played. I guess I'll have to replay the series to know where I stand on it now
Who said we were ignoring The Lost Legacy?? Look at the reviews, the game was just as good as the others one.
I just played through all the uncharted games last year and it’s hard to believe that Drakes Fortune came out in 2007 this game looks incredible and gameplay really holds up on PS4 can’t wait for the rest of these critiques! Especially Uncharted 4 that game is a masterpiece.
I got to say. As someone who played this when it first came out, it was revolutionary for me atleast. The graphics were the best, the story amazing and the cover shooting was pretty common due to mass effect and gears of war.

Luke Stephens excited to watch this I just finished one and two I played four a while ago. I got them all for free this last month and I have been playing one a day.
Why not cover Uncharted: Golden Abyss?
NCR Ranger the ps vita game how people would watch that.
@@dylanoronde I mean yes you would have to record it with a camera, but it is still part of this series.
@@dylanoronde One a day😮😮😮 so your entire day consists of gaming basically
Get reinforcments? What LOL the plane is literally about to come down. Jumping out of the plane was the only option they had...The only dumb thing Nate did was send Elena out by herself and he just sat there and he even said "What am I doing?!?!" Which made me laugh pretty hard lol
It doesn’t matter if the gun play is repetitive if it’s super fun (which it is).
This guy also doesn’t give the writing enough credit
i was litchrally scrolling through your channel last night trying to find a critique on uncharted and now it’s here. thank you for all you do!
Drake’s fortune is decent. Uncharted 4 is a mastahpiece tho
I almost agree with you about Uncharted 4. It's an amazing game, but when our much loved history buff/treasure hunters appallingly pronounce Mughal like "Muggle" I can feel my soul being ripped from my chest.
Uncharted 4 had good gameplay and good set pieces but the script is muddled. Feels like 2 scripts/ideas slammed together most of the time.
Canadish How exactly, the only thing that is similar to u2 is the opening of the game being late in the actual game, like in u2 with being in a derailed train
Canadish that’s because it is two scripts and ideas slashed together. To me, the story was amazing and didn’t feel odd tho.
@@aashrithmadagiri6711 I think a major issue with 1 is that it's one story, very straight and narrow with little deviation. And so much relies on the curse and the descendants that if you don't like zombies in dark alleyways, the story kinda feels empty.
Whilst uncharted 4 started small and became this epic that went from going to Scotland, to Madagascar, to a pirate colony and jungles.
Drake's fortune is my least favourite game in the series, although it's still a solid 8/10.
@Randy White 7/10
5/10
Yah, it has aged but for a game from 2007 it’s pretty freakin good, so it deserves an 8/10.
Anyone who puts this game above a 6/10 is really kidding themselves. They are either letting later games effect their view of it, have a nostalgic attachment to it or are PS fans that just have a bias towards PS franchises. I would give it a 5/10 personally. Even for the time, it's nothing special outside of the graphics. Just finished it myself and I have to say, coming from TLOU+2, this game is absolute garbage, they have come a long way.
Genuinely shocked how few subscribers you have for the level of quality of the content you put out. Absolutely phenomenal work as usual Luke! Keen to see you cover the rest of the series!
God that first chase sequence I died so many times rolling off that stupid cliff
I replayed it 2 weeks ago. It's still one of my favourite games and in my opinion holds up just fine
1:21 I would be interested in a Golden Abyss ultimate critique if you owned a vita and played it. It deserves more recognition in my opinion.
I remember the Golden Abyss. It was a good game and makes me nostalgic.
Even if you're not a professional speedrunner, I think this game is most fun when you try to speed through as fast as you can and this game is just unintentionally hilarious and even more so when you play as fast as possible that's what I enjoy about it
Man, as weird and mediocre this game is, I’ll always love it with all of my heart
3:12 I'll be calling him Borch Three Jackdaws.
honestly some of my favorite moments are when nate is alone struggling with some grand obstacle
Recently played through all of them in lockdown. The first one very much disappointed me, Among Thieves and A Thief's End very much pleasantly surprised me again. My favourite Uncharted part ever might be in Libertalia, especially finding the letters in the mansions and, in the end, the large 'dinner room'. Amazing.
Okay making the transition from PS2 to PS3 was pretty awesome. Uncharted 1 doesn't hold up today, but back in 2007 or 2008 it was Pretty awesome
ND was trying to appeal to Indiana Jones adventure lovers, young through old. Not the "mature" audiences specifically. The first game has massive similarities to Raiders of the Lost Ark. They also had a hard time grasping development for the PS3 which is why Uncharted 2 is so much better. Love the video btw.
How does everyone rank the series? I go:
1. A Thief’s End
2. Among Thieves
3. Drake’s Deception
4. The Lost Legacy
5. Drake’s Fortune
5. Drake's Fortune (horrible game even at the time imo)
4. Uncharted 3 (awesome setpieces, average story with tons of plot holes)
3. Lost Legacy (Chloe and Nadine make a great team, great scenery, my favorite puzzles and locations in the series, highly underrated)
2. Uncharted 2 (no explanation needed)
1. Uncharted 4 (no explanation needed)
My problem with A Thieves End is that it didn't have enough of a variety of locations like in 2 and 3. The final act on the island is too long and takes up a large chunk of the game. Also, the women empowerment in the writing is a little too preachy. How does a woman beat up Nathan Drake (who has bested hundreds if not thousands of mercenaries) and his brother at the same time? Come on now.
*1.* 4- A Thief's End (best story, best locations, best characters, especially Rafe, And best gameplay along with Lost Legacy)
*2.* 3- Drake's Deception (the same as 4 but slightly worse)
*3.* Lost Legacy (most relaxing, enjoyable character development and 2nd best villan)
*4.* 2- Among Thief's (good story and puzzles but very frustrating at times)
*5.* Drake's Fortune (speaks for itself)
MagmaAscending I completely agree with this ranking. Absolutely loved Rafe in Uncharted 4 and the pirate history. Also the environment was amazing.
Dwayne Johnson at least in 4 it isn't as bad as the last of us 2
You are actually wrong, a notebook saved a soldiers life who was shot with a gun, he held it in his pocket on the left side of his chest, he would have died if the small notebook wasn't there. I cannot prove it but I saw it in a Yugoslav war museum in Croatia.
I wish people wouldn't throw ludonarrative dissonance around so much.
It doesn't add to a critique when you don't understand what the term really means.
It’s just a pretentious way of saying something that it might not actually mean
Elitists like saying that it means what it did with that dude that critiqued Bioshock, meaning that it will rarely ever mean the same thing again
I think people should just not say it because it makes them sound like a pompous tool
I got hooked to the first game and how real the voice actors made it. It didn’t seem like they were reading off a script it sounded fluid and natural and in uncharted 2 I love that the characters actions and voices were in sync.
Uncharted 2 is the best uncharted game and I love the charm of the first one.
Uncharted 2 sucked imo
I tried playing Drake's Fortune and had to stop pretty early on because the FOV and camera angles were giving me some serious motion sickness that I usually only feel when trying to play 1st person POV games.
I'm doing the same thing. The jump from 1 to 2 is amazing. Uncharted 2 is a masterpiece.
If you think Uncharted's story is not plausible or logical, give the Yakuza series a try.
Now THAT is some amazingly ridiculous writing where character emotion rules over logic pretty much every time.
Drake's Fortune tries really hard to justify it's wilder elements and make them plausible and I feel it succeeds a lot more than you give it credit for.
(seriously, play Yakuza! It's wild, it's dumb and it's 100% brilliant)
I only just recently competed the first game four times in a row followed by the sequel. Such a classic game and is so much *fun!* It also helped me cope while my dog, Merlin was ill and then passed away soon after. 💕
The Uncharted series has been an absolute pleasure to play. I've been recording them for my channel, and now currently up to Uncharted 3. I've thoroughly loved and been lost in the world of Nathan Drake, and I only wish I'd discovered the game sooner.
I would love to know if anyone has any recommendations for "similar" games to this, as I will be so sad to come to an end after I've finished uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy.
Only Tomb Raider comes to mind.
This video was fantastic and very funny! Perfect duration as well Luke. I think as much as I love the long style videos, shorter videos like these are a bit easier to take in for a new, growing audience.
love these videos, can’t wait for the rest of the uncharted ones
Will we ever see Villentretenmerth turn into an old dude trying to get you along on some treasure hunt? At what time does he do that usually?
Bearded Dragons can live up to 12 years, so i think around 9 or 10 he will be in his 60's in bearded dragon years. So you can expect Villentretenmerth to try and get Luke along on a treasure hunt then. It's pretty par for the course for pet bearded dragons to do so.
I've played it almost 20 times and will play it again soon.
Is it crazy to anyone else that in a video about the 1st game but he mentions things from the 4TH GAME several times??
Best game experience ever - what else do we need in a game apart from having some fun, great story and great gameplay . Not sure what the critique trying to say ... confused as F*ck
Agreed. People find it hard to see the best in.. anything.
I really have to disagree on Lost Legacy- I really loved that title. Especially the semi-open world level
I used to play uncharted 3 a lot when I was real young. Now I understand it's worth.
6:28 LMFAOOOO yeah you did get me there. Everytime I wanna play through the series I watch videos over the first one. Force my self through the 2nd and thoroughly enjoy the 3rd and 4th one.
@20:15 hes complaining about how nathan jumped the plane like hes had a choice to turn around... the plane was on fire and going down and they were shot down before he even knew about the aa turrets
People on ND games : LuOP2!
Luke : "hey do you know Uncharted Drake's Fortune?"
13:36 I don't think it was echoed directly on Nate and Sam. Sam was way more interested in money than Nate, of course. However, during the game Sam is portrayed as the pirate expert and he is really interested in the work of their mother. I think money is his big interested, but I think he is way more invested into history than Sully was in the first game.
I agree with most of what you said, and even though I was a little but hurt considering this was the first ps3 games I ever played, upon comparing them to the later entries it all stands up. However, I do feel like a lot of these clichés or grievances could be applied to any action game or movie -like you argued- but I kinda think that’s the point, uncharted was always, I feel, intended to be a satire or at least homage to Indiana Jones and tomb raider, over the top, but with loveable charactets to ground it. I always was able to suspend my disbelief and I don’t think it’s over-the-top-ness is a weakness.
Rewatching so I can refresh for the movie coming out! Xx
22:11 Yk what’s funny…Sully wearing a different Hawaiian shirt implies that he bought a new one since he did not have access to his luggage after being captured. 😂I like to think he told Roman “Look I’ll help you find the treasure..but I ain’t gonna help while I’m sweating in this red shirt like a hooker in church”🤷♂️
Hey Luke, could you explain more on why you think the series has a case of ludonarrative dissonance? I think it’s pretty neutral in its ludonarrative. Drake kills people, yeah, but not unreasonably in a way that wouldn’t fit him. He’s a treasure hunter and is usually hunted by other groups, so it makes sense he’d get into gun fights so often. His killing sprees are in self defense. I think GTA would be a great example of ludonarrative dissonance, but not Uncharted. Is it the sheer amount of waves of soldiers he fights that causes dissonance for you?
kinda weird to compare a 2007 game to 2020 standards imo
I remember when this demo came out, it blew me away. I played the demo for months until I finally got the game for Christmas. The game definitely has its flaws but it was a lot of fun.
Same I don't really think this guy gets how good game critique works.
Everytime I hear the uncharted theme, I get chills. I grew up with this franchise and it probably means more to me than any other form of media.
It's not a form of media lol
Aw glad you got a new bearded dragon. Looking forward to knowing V.
Literally finished this game for the first time the day you released this...
24:10 it was the most comically fun in ready player one where the villan had a fucking research department for finding an object yet they get out done by a few kids
Uncharted Drake’s Fortune is so good, I loved the island, Nate, Sully and Elena were all great characters, Eddy Raja was a really cool character, it was great to see him and Nate team up towards the end, the story was good, lots of fun action and exploration along with a great sense of mystery throughout the game, the Descendants, especially the Bunker section was really well done, great game still enjoy replaying it 👏👏👏👏
Talking about “all the Uncharted games”, pointing out that everyone forgets about Lost Legacy, but leaving our Golden Abyss? I know it’s not made by Naughty Dog, but it’s still a good game and part of the franchise.
As one of the 20 people that actually got a Vita it is really solid for what it is. Drake actually feels the most like a historian in that game than in the others and learning about the civilisation through the artefacts you find added more to the experience of the game.
Underrated gem imo
Literally played and beat it for the first time yesterday. Definitely not a fantastic game, but really enjoyed my time with it.
I just replayed this game a few weeks ago due to the quarantine situation. I actually enjoyed replaying it. I replayed all of them except the 3rd one lost me and didn't care to do the 5th one.
I am not biased towards you because I’m not currently a follower, so, I can say this with utmost honesty: this “critique” is just lame. Why in the world are you criticizing a game made more than a decade ago, and putting it up to the standards of today’s industry? Like, fine, let me go ahead and criticize freaking Pac-Man, for not having more variety in enemies, and being so repetitive, because Skyrim has way more things going on. Come on.
Well considering that the sequel that came out only two years later still holds up, I don't think time is an excuse. I mean bioshock and halo 3 came out the same year, games that are still held to the same standard. Plus he said that there were reviews bashing the mechanics back then.
Well if he made a critique based on what he would've felt about the game 10 years ago it wouldn't make more sense? It's because we live in the present. If someone wants to try the game he would be better informed with the most recent review
I’ve played the first Uncharted 5 times now. Given that I played in 3 different languages in total but still, love the game, the old feeling of it. And maybe because I find that old stylish mechanics which feel so much like an arcade game (combined with a story, characters and one liners)
One thing that laughably bothered me with uncharted was the narrow escapes. I know theyre part of this type game/genre but they were laughably convenient and abundant.
To this day when i see convenient narrow escapes i think of uncharted.
That's the whole point of the game though? It's supposed to be campy and ridiculous like Indiana Jones.
Played the shit out of the first three games when I was younger (especially Uncharted 2) and also enjoyed A Thief’s End. Would love to see you review all of them in separate videos !!!
Why does he take it so serious it wasn’t ment to make sense and I can name millions of games and movies with these flaws
Blah blah blah. It’s still a boring mess of a game.
LOVE THIS VIDEO can't wait to watch every video.
i got all the games for free on the playstation store and i’m playing all of them now. this vid couldn’t have come at a better time.
same here. I thought: "well that's convenient"
The first time I played an uncharted game was when my Dad bought it at blockbuster when I was at shcool he bought UNCHARTED 2 and at the time I didn’t knew anything about uncharted I didn’t even knew that Uncharted existed at the time so when I arrived to my house my dad gave it to me and I saw the box cover and it looked cool I guess but when i played that game for the first time man I remember waking up at 2 AM on a Saturday just to play until the sun got up my eyes where al bloodshed and I lost the track of time , then Uncharted 3 boy was I exited when I saw that a friend of mine had it I ran to my local blockbuster and bought it ( had to pass all my exams first… thanks dad ) and man what a game , Uncharted 1 I knew it had to exist but I never paid attention to it but I got curious and bought it , now imagine playing 2 y 3 and then playing 1 for the first time after playing 2 y 3 … yep not a good experience but I liked the story and the nazi zombies scared the crap out of me… they still do and I liked the ending then with Uncharted 4 I was so exited I even put it on my Christmas list even tho the game wasn’t out yet I counted the days until it camed out finally after like 2 years same as 2 played it until I myself died or my mom got angry and told me to go to sleep and shut the console off now I’m 20 and still play uncharted thanks Noughty Dog for giving me a childhood to remember
Damn... shots fired at Greg Miller...
A game that delivered a solid 6-7/10 experience. Delivered quirky characters each with their own brand of personality and certain charms. And had tons of potential which was realized in subsequent releases. The only downsides to me were the repetitive scenery and a very very specific nitpick on the Nathan drake collection where I wish you could watch the cutscenes in its original frame rate.
Fun fact, Uncharted 4 has a trophy called Ludonarrative Dissonance. Either way, I like Uncharted 1 as a nice character introduction. It establishes the main characters and their relationships well. It has aged well, but serves its purpose either way.
Just played it for the first time. Love the characters. The graphics for a game made in 2007 are simply stunning even in 2020. The treasure hunting aspect is amazing, the A.I is incredibly smart, and the first beginning chapters are absolutely perfect.
Now...this game is freaking hard. Really hard. I started out playing normal, but halfway through the game I had to switch it to easy. EVEN on easy the game is flipping hard! They throw so much at you at once at so many times, you would think this game is a twitch shooter, but with clunky controls that infuriate you. You can tell the game was made to be very difficult, and test your skills.
Freaking hard? Is it a joke?
sully mentioned that “he’s up to his eyeballs in debt” in chapter 2 which explains why he’s after the statue for money and when roman captures the two he tells nate that sullivan owes him a lot of money so yes there is an explanation to their past relationship, just a few details you missed
when i first saw the zombies, i was like "zombies!" lmfao
I’ve played Uncharted 1 at least twice I can recall since buying the remaster collection. It ain’t bad if you’re drunk!
My biggest gripe with the Uncharted games has always been the shooting. The guns feel like they have zero weight and the enemies are massive bullet sponges.
I found Uncharted 4 to be the worst for this. The amount of bullets I had to pump into people even on normal difficulty was ridiculous
Headshots are one hit kills..especially on harder difficulty
Uncharted 4 should have had one shot kills in the bonus menu. At least you can run infinite ammo and get the grenade launcher or the reolver.
Yea I disagree about skipping drakes fortune or saying there’s No “replay value” I finished drakes fortune over 6 times
themarine0316 you liking it doesn't mean it's a good game.
I pushed myself to play it only because the controls are pretty clunky, but I do think it was an important game
Dave Carter just like you not liking it doesn’t make it a bad game, it’s called an opinion & I gave mine.
@@davecarterNV5 dude try playing it on harder difficulty
Yes! Let’s look at all of the uncharted games!
Really really glad this series critique is happening
One man subjects himself while another revels - agree to disagree. Nice videos though, thanks for making these and I can’t wait until all the parts are released
Great game , amazing series.
Loved the review. Love the channel.
Almost nobody holds the same opinion lmao but this is by far my favorite Uncharted
When will the uncharted 3 critique come
Will you analyse Golden Abyss, too? I suggest you do
It’s the assumed general public’s consensus on Lost Legacy based on personal bitterness towards it fa meee
