A lot of the stuff that seems to make people gush about this game does nothing for me, but the bit with the car sliding off the cliff and becoming something you platform on and stuff for a little while is very drat cool.

Goddammit Sam. Never split the party. Especially never split the party so that someone the main character cares about goes off alone. If Sam doesn't end up captured or pinned down or in some other trouble I will be very surprised and very glad, because gently caress tropes.

Sam basically said "Don't worry, I'll be fine" which absolutely sealed his fate. If a character says "don't worry, I'll be fine" when they go off on their own, they 100% will not be fine and you better be worried.

The "muff pistol" is called that because it was a little lady's pistol meant to be hidden in her muff, her furry hand warmer.

Probably comes down to the people slated to make it. Suppose Obsidian could be a candidate, but they might gravitate more towards entomology games from what I hear.

I wonder what the artist who spent hours designing and sketching out that tower on a cliff felt about Drake just drawing it up in a second.

I like how you guys keep coming up with theories about how Alcázar is going to find Sam after the get the treasure as if he's not a Satan just loving with some mortal for kicks. They'll find Avery's treasure and it'll be filled up with gold like the Cave of Wonders and Alcázar will slowly rise up from a pile of jewels and chalices like he's standing on an elevator.

I figure whatever's there in place of the treasure ('cause it sure as Hell ain't gonna be treasure) was known to Alcazar because he's a descendant of some of the pirates, and he wanted the Drake boys to rediscover it so he could protect it like they did.

Nah, there's totally got to be a treasure, just so Drake can have a "I finally got what I was searching for, and only now do I realize it isn't what I really wanted / want anymore" moment. Maybe the treasure gets taken by Alcazar or Rafe or crumbles into the volcano, but it's got to at least be there for a bit.

Wait, how did that coin get so worn down anyways? Its been sitting in a pirate candy dish for the last few centuries. Also, what if the coins all just have different symbols because they're actually just commemorative coins struck to celebrate the joining of different pirates?

Just check the other side of the coin. They're gonna be minted with the same orientation, and that volcano can only go one way up. E: looking at the end of video 9, my reasoning says that the treasure tower is the one with scales. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Nov 3, 2016 |

I just checked some various coins I have, some have the reverse "tails" side oriented the same way as the "heads" and some are oriented the other way. Canadian and Euro coins are both sides "up" but US, Costa Rican, and Mexican coinage the tails side all faces "down". So which was did the pirates use?

I know that in the end the treasure is probably going to be some kind of pirate death star or something, but I still can't believe this whole thing is supposed to be about generic pirate treasure of gold and jewels (never mind the fact that not all loot would be nonperishables, spices were real big in this part of the world). I can't figure out exactly how, but I feel like there's got to be a way to make a fortune off of all these priceless ruins they're demolishing in the hunt for base metals. Or maybe they could just rob a bank.

Unless this is all a practical joke and he just wants Sam to live in fear the rest of his life.

The real treasure was all the exotic animals the pyrates collected over their careers. The paradise they spoke of was a pet paradise.

And they either declined or never returned, either or.

If they took the wallets, jewelry, and mobile phones off all the people they'd killed, they'd probably have the 400 million by now - and then some.

The reason Alcázar knows/thinks the treasure is real is because Drake probably has a bit of infamy in the underworld, what with 3 other games worth of shiny objects (and mercenary kills) under his belt buckle. He's routinely able to find all kinds of mythological cities and treasures that by all rights, shouldn't exist. When Alcázar figured out Sam was Nathan's brother, he realized the crazy bullshit story he was spouting about pirate gold was almost certainly an actual thing.

Sam is actually Alcazar, the real Sam died during the prison escape he plans on killing Nate as soon as they find the treasure.

I just want to say that I am constantly impressed by Chip's ability to aim on a controller. Uncharted 4 was pretty miserable for me to play on the normal difficulty because I can't hit poo poo, aiming with sticks after being so accustomed to mouse/keyboard sucks.

I think I actually prefer to do it manually... but then I've been playing 3rd-person shooters on console since the inception of the concept.

it's not that hard to aim with a controller. it's just that if you aren't used to it, you'll struggle with the controls. I have the opposite problem where I started playing pc games a lot later than console stuff and I've always been worse at that then using a controller to do the same stuff

As console garbage who doesn't do a lot of gaming on the PC, I'm perfectly fine with playing shooters with a controller, but I understand that people playing PC games for years are far better at shooting than me.
