Ok, so since Alcazar has no reason to want to stop us, I assume Rafe will be our main mercenary-hiring villain for this set. That said, I do wonder where Alcazar is gonna show up again, cause he seems like too much of a fun character to just leave on the sidelines waiting for his cut until the end of the game. Could potentially get a case of two groups of rich guys with tons of guns and hardware fighting it out while the tiny group of treasure hunters platforms amid the crossfire. And that's not even factoring the probably semi-supernatural faction joining the fight at the end.

My first thought when I saw Sam was "I can't believe Flynn's back." They have the same hair. Also, there is no creditor in the world as thorough at pursuing debtors than there are in Uncharted.

Ach, Nate's reaction to Sam's returning doesn't seem... sincere enough, even though the animations are great.

It's pretty dumb for Nate to lie to Elena like that, considering she's probably going to ring up Jamison in about five minutes to say "Congrats on the permits! This'll be a really good thing for Nate, he hides it but he needs to scratch that treasure-hunting itch." Then the jig is up about five seconds after that. Plus, he needs to warn her ASAP that there's a sociopathic drug lord who's probably looking to kidnap her as extra incentive - forewarned is forearmed. Still, this is already way more compelling than previous Uncharted games as a driving force for the plot. Don't get me wrong, previous UC games are also great, but "I want treasure real bad" doesn't hold a candle to "this sweet couple is about to go through the wringer probably more than ever before."

Not gonna lie, I love the game but I groaned real hard when he lied to her about where he's going because come on now, who here doesn't know exactly where that's going to lead already. (the answer is nobody, everybody knows where it's going)

Meanwhile, having actually watch said special, Alcazar discovers the Drake family connection and decides to pay a visit but is shot from behind at the last second by the game's true hero, Sully, who have been watching from the shadows all this time. Everyone lives happily ever after. Except Rafe who's stuck in Scotland.

Ometeotl posted:I know we're all having fun admiring all the details and nice touches and whatnot in this game, but "they reused an area from earlier and it didn't spontaneously morph into something else" isn't exactly one of them. It is when the areas are contiguous, laid out sensibly to the functions of the location, and navigated across two overlapping routes designed to different gameplay models at different parts of the game.

Unbeknownst to Nathan, Elena is actually having brunch with Jameson that very minute as they brainstorm ways to reawaken Nathan's lust for treasure.

Since Nate doesn't know he lives in a cover-based shooter with regenerating health and he's dealing with murderous psychopaths he might be concerned about, y'know, his wife's life or something edit: there's literally no way Elena wouldn't muscle her way into the operation if he told her what it's about

I think Elana would be better armed if warned that there may be psychopathic south american drug lords out for the blood of anyone connected to the Drake name. Like, she can take care of herself. If she is aware she needs to take care of herself.

I mean we all know Elena's going to be involved in this whole mess later on anyways, but again, Drake doesn't know he lives in a scripted piece of entertainment media edit: to be honest, i wouldn't notice either with the amount of detail in that house i'm living in, it's VERY convincing

Let's see… Elena has tracked down Nate in the middle of a jungle, twice; in a far-off Nepali village; on a random shore somewhere along the Arabian or Red Sea; and she has busted him out of a pacific island prison. She also knows how to keep up with trains and aeroplanes in a jeep. Everyone should just hire Elena instead — she's probably better at finding stuff than any of the Drakes are.

"Elena, I was trying to be retired, I really was; but my brother- who I thought died 15 years ago- just showed up at my job to tell me that he owes a crimelord 200 million dollars in gold." "(Please don't say you're going to the authorities, please don't say you're going to the authorities, please don't say you're going to the authorities.)" "So we're going to go hunt down Avery's treasure before some goon comes looking for Sam's organs." "Oh thank god."

When Nathan was inside and leaned against the door and Sam went all "Hey, hey! You're not gonna pass out on me, are you?" or whatever, at first I thought he had spotted the pretty obvious ring on Nate's left hand.
