I'm guessing "The Riches of Paradise" will turn out to be a fungus that controls peoples' brains.

Come to think of it, Uncharted 1 had the same sort of twist early on with Sully dying and Drake having to leave him behind.

It's about right that the best of Uncharted! intro scene has basically no Uncharted 3. but it barely has any Sully so it's bad.

I guess Drake never mentioned his brother for the first three games because he got killed in a Panamanian prison, huh. A fun fact about this game is that the camera mode gives you loads of options for removing specific types of NPCs, like playable characters, allies, enemies etc, and it can actually spoil stuff like if someone's going to die, or stab you in the back, or be your friend later, depending on what class of NPC the camera puts them in.

Oddly enough Drake and Sully had their personalities kinda switched. Drake was the cautious one willing to back out while Sully was this person who kept getting into risky debts.

MrWillsauce posted:I'm predicting that Sam is going to show up later and show Drake a bullet-riddled dictionary that he kept on his back It wasn't even necessarily a Deadly bullet wound - considering Babyface Nate here, there's a very good chance that this chapter takes place chronologically before UC1, so Sam's just going to heal over the passage of time. It would explain why Drake never talks about his brother - he feels guilty about Sam's 'death' - and it's also a form of storytelling they haven't exactly done before, so it keeps it interesting.

Red Bones posted:I guess Drake never mentioned his brother for the first three games because he got killed in a Panamanian prison, huh. Or that, in the third game, Drake didn't tell Sully about his brother because he knew his brother would die in the future. The inclusion, and then sudden death of Sam, is not a good idea and makes little sense within the context of the series.

There is no reason for Sam to be Nates brother instead of a really good friend he grew up with other than trying to "top" your last story (and really ruining a lot of the previous ones because now there's scenes that simply don't make any sense). I understand why stuff like that would make a writer upset.

MrWillsauce posted:I'm predicting that Sam is going to show up later and show Drake a bullet-riddled dictionary that he kept on his back He was coughing up blood almost immediately and his shirt was more than a bit soaked with red in the glimpse of it you see during the fall. Maybe caught the bottom of his lung or something. If this weren't a videogame, I would peg Sam as pretty goddamn dead, either from the fall making things even worse, blood loss, or just plain drowning in his own vital fluids. But since it is a videogame, I'm sure they rushed him to the prison hospital immediately, where they had a former star surgeon on call who stitched up his insides before any serious damage could be done. After all, he was just an accomplice to the warden's murder not ten minutes ago, so you can't just let him die as a means of revenge...right?

The cutscene could be unreliable narrator style and Nate remembers Sam getting shot up a lot worse then he actually did! Not like Nate was thinking clearly afterwards. Like he only got a grazing shot to the side or the shoulder or something and the blood from his mouth was just from getting punched at some point. But Nate playing it back in his mind over the years has embellished it. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Aug 13, 2016 |

I despise when things do the thing they did with Sam here, in all honesty. Not the being shot thing, the "incredibly important family member who suddenly exists" thing. It's never smart, well written or interesting. It always comes across as something they decided well after the fact, which is probably because that's always the case. There's not much reason why you couldn't have had Sam be a family friend or acquaintance of some import.

Yeah it does seem a bit forced. "Guy I grew up at an orphanage with until he ran away, jerk was like a brother to me and he left me!" would work just as well.

is there some reason Sam's existence doesn't make sense other than goons not liking it? like he's not my favourite character in the series, but having your brother get shot in a prison and presumably die as far as you know seems like a perfectly reasonable excuse to have not mentioned him at all after it happened, so I can't think of a scene in the first three games that it "ruins"

DatonKallandor posted:Plus the young drake sequences in 3. don't those happen after he leaves the orphanage? we don't really know much about what happens in between then and when they meet up later, and there's no real reason to think they had to be together all that time. the grappling hook thing is minor at best, too, since there are plenty of times either it'd make no sense for him to have brought one or he ends up having to leave all his equipment behind anyway (see everything after the plane crash in 1, for example)

It's especially egregious because the last game had a short section dealing with Nate when he was young (I want to say maybe 13 or 14), and he looked to be living alone and probably on the streets. Sam also looks to be taking the role usually played by Sully, i.e. older, mentor-type figure who helps Nate out in his adventures. The players know Sully, because he's been in every game so far. Though Sam might be more accepted if Sully had gotten killed off in the last game, which I'm 95% sure was the initial plan, but I guess that didn't go over well with testers or something.

It doesn't "ruin" anything outside of the one line in Drake's Fortune about being in a Panamanian jail (which now seems incredibly callous), but it does feel like an obvious rear end-pull.

Could had a line in the last game when Marlowe was reading off Nate's history (which has several things mentioned in this game) about a deceased brother.

Popping in to say, just caught up on the previous 3 LPs and I am so excited for this! Going back to watch those 3 (binge watch in a VERY short amount of time) was a great decision. If anyone hasn't, do it now. Keep up the good work gents!

It does not make sense within the timeline of the game, and events we the player actually saw. I have not played this game, but from what I gather I am going to wind up enjoying the further misadventures of Sam and Drake, and I like the way they work together and play off of one another, but that doesn't mean I can't also go "hey wait a minute, that doesn't add up."
