DRAKE'S FORTUNE | AMONG THIEVES | DRAKE'S DECEPTION

GOLDEN ABYSS | A THIEF'S END | THE LOST LEGACY

Who else is a fan of the Uncharted games? What ones have you played? What was your favourite game/moment/character? Did you know that Nathan Drake's damage meter isn't actually his health, but his luck?

My favourite Uncharted game is Among Thieves, followed closely by A Thief's End. Drake's Deception was overall the worst game in the series out of the ones I've played, especially in regards to story.

Also, Sully is the best character in the series, no contest.

I own all 5 of the Nathan Drake games and I enjoyed all of them. The worst one is the Vita game. It felt like a glorified tech demo for the Vita where they shoehorned in gameplay features to show off the different features the Vita had. Tapping a wall to climb was dumb, and taking pictures of places is also dumb.

Drake’s partners in the game weren’t good either, and didn’t have good interactions. Dante was annoying, and that chick was boring. Sully doesn’t show up until the end of the game.

I've never played it before, but I wouldn't mind trying it out someday! Also, Nathan is a hottie! lol

It was my least favorite but I thought it was still a good game and gyro aiming was amazing. I wish PS4 games utilized gyro aiming. 

I got Drake’s Fortune in 2008 when I got my first PS3. I’ll always have a soft spot for that game despite it not aging well as a wave shooter but for 2008 it was ahead of its time and I think still has the best story.

[Grungie]

I never liked gyro aiming. Even when they added it to all the Zelda games, I turned it off.

Own all four main Uncharted games, played only 2-4 though. Still have not touched Drake's Fortune.

I didn't know it was his luck, but knew it wasn't exactly a health meter, because he doesn't have regenerative powers when getting "hit". Although that's more for bullets, what about for hand to hand? We do see him get bruises and cuts, and he keeps going despite them. Then again they could be injuries close to nothing, so doesn't hinder him.

Uncharted 2, best story. Uncharted 4 second best, Uncharted 3 third for me. Gameplay probably UC4, then about the same for the other two. Multiplayer UC3 best, haven't played much of the other two to tell (although UC4 more than UC2, since I don't remember anything, don't think I even did try multiplayer then to be honest).

Sully agreed best character. Do prefer playing as Nate, but if someone else is Nate in my team, then Sully. With UC4, like playing as Sam too, and also like his character. Nate and Sully best duo. All of Nate's circle fit well together though, they have great banter.

[Moonface]

I'm surprised to hear you never played Drake's Fortune EL! While compared to the others it feels dated control wise, it had some of the best atmosphere and mystery in the entire series. Plus it has one of the best villain characters in Eddy Raja and you would definitely love him.

With multi-player, I'd say Uncharted 4 is better than 3 for competitive as people aren't all using the exact same loadouts like they did in 3. Co-Op is a lot more varied, but it has a downside for anyone late joining because they won't have the same amount of money that others already in-game have got, so they can't buy any good items or perks to handle what are usually the later waves by the time they join. I've joined so many games where I struggled simply because I couldn't afford any decent gear.

Uncharted - Live Action Fan Film (2018)
So it seems that Uncharted movie is still trying to succeed, and Nathan Fillion has decided to make himself a choice for the role of Nathan Drake by literally playing the role in this fan made film.

---

I only watched a very short clip of this and it looked promising, so I'm looking forward to watching the entire thing later when Shira gets home.

[Mr EliteL]

Certainly was promising. Just finished watching, and surprised it exceeded my expectations. Thought I was going to cringe a lot. A neat look at what it would be like as part of a feature film (if it was, if only) and quite well written. Definitely well put together for a short film. Fillion is good for UC4 aged Nate, and am glad it is him who's doing the portrayal here. Nice. Kind of what I'd want to see, something that isn't just a retelling of one of the games, even though it kind of goes against what the characters were doing at the end of UC4 (before the epilogue chapter). I wasn't worrying about that anyway when watching. The main thing I'd complain about is Sully's lack of a red shirt. Or he could wear one later on. Anyway, yeah I know this is merely a fan film and if something were to come of this or if there'll be an Uncharted film (the supposed Tom Holland one or another), won't be this. But dang it, they did a good job, I want it to be.

Also, yeah I never did play Drake's Fortune. After UC2, I was thinking about it, but then UC3 came out. Then didn't bother, then got the collection for the PS4. Still haven't, and also need to finish Lost Legacy. So yeah, I got lots to do still.

[Metallix]

Just came to post the video. Lol It’s pretty great, they know their source material and Fillion nailed Drake’s mannerisms.

[Moonface]

Watched that movie a few nights ago and overall it was really good. However I didn't like Elena at all because her character in this doesn't really match how she is, especially after the events of Uncharted 2. I feel like everything she did is better suited to Chloe.

[Mr EliteL]

I didn't really pay attention much to Elena, but yeah I'd agree with you there. Suppose they went with her as they're the original trio, but Chloe would be more knowledgeable about items they're after and things that surround them/history.

[Moonface]

It would've been better had it been she was looking for footage for her show, like how she was in Uncharted 1 and 2. Here it feels like she's just in it for the treasure alone, which isn't something she has ever done.

[Mr EliteL]

Just a video about some stuff left in UC4 out of sight in a normal view I watched recently.

So, Uncharted 2 and 3's multiplayer servers on the PS3 are going to be shut down this September. Along with TLOU Factions.

So, so bummed to hear this. I spent so many hours playing the hell out of the multiplayer modes, especially for UC3. Might still be my most ever played mp game, if not it's definitely in second place. Pretty sure it's the first one I truly got addicted to for awhile there. I just kinda.. I dunno. They felt like they'd still be there forever, kinda foolish but hey. I'm definitely gonna miss them being there to play, I still go back every once in awhile when I get nostalgic.
