I like that the first credits image after they reveal Sully's new plane is a crashed plane.

So glad to see the end of Uncharted 3. One thing I have to ask, have you and Snark recorded the multiplayer matches yet? Also I kinda hope next LP you bring back the retsupuraes, since I didn't notice until now the last video you put up on the channel was all the way back in September.

Great LP as always guys, thanks. This series has the best throwaway art.  (I'm guessing it's also part of a MP map?)

Does anyone know where that music was for the chase scene at the start of the Proto-Buddha vid? Both of the chases that is before and after the TRIP of the century that is cuz that was just making me fly like nothing else with my ear. Seriously that was some gorgeous music at work there for the start of it. That was an amazing goddamn video, I did not expect the game to step it up a notch in that direction but man am I glad it did. That was a fan-loving-tastic LP guys. Thank you so much for bringing me the pleasure of the Uncharted series  god that last loving bit was truly tremendous.SO, I remember you guys had another LP in mind of a certain LEGEND as it were? When's that coming up?

smenj posted:Another part where this happened that really disappointed me personally was the scene where Marlowe accuses Drake of changing his name, perhaps not being a Drake at all. Would've been a great direction to go in, and would've fit the game's subtitle much better. Alas, nothing much came of it in the end. Maybe in Uncharted 4... "Nothing much came of it in the end" is the glaring weakness of Uncharted 3. Cutter, Talbot, Drake's fake past, the ship graveyard. All stuff that ended abruptly or didn't pay off later. Still, I liked Uncharted 3 and will likely buy Uncharted 4. Although with the subtitle "A Thief's End", I wonder if they're planning on killing Drake off. I don't think I'd like that.

Meh, kind of a lame ending. Whatever, everyone's happy except for the woman who drowns in sand and that douchebag. This is now the second Uncharted game where the bad guy's second in command becomes the final boss. It looks better than the other final bosses, reminds me a lot of the Vita one--which itself was a lengthy QTE, so this one looks a lot more fun. If it was so drat easy to blow up the whole city why the gently caress didn't the ancient people just do that in the first place? What the gently caress were those spiders, were they just...a hitherto unexplained and undiscovered species of FRENCH murder spiders, or did Francis Drake have spider armies that he bred in secret or Meh. Your next LP, Chip, is going to be wonderful, I can't wait.

So will Wonderful 101 be running at the same time as the uncharted 3 multiplayer stuff, or are you finishing the multiplayer first?

What you guys said about the setpieces and presentation of the game, and how that makes up for the prevalence of shootmans as the majority of the gameplay, kinda got me thinking. This really is the most movie-like game I've seen. It doesn't try to be a movie like Heavy Rain et al, but its reliance on and competence at presenting really excellent setpieces makes it hit the same notes as a good movie. The game feels like a collection of scenes, both from level to level and also within levels, and all the scenes are really well put together and flow from one to the next really nicely. It's a game that really feels like it had a director behind it, if games want to be more like movies, I think this is the way to go, or at least the best one I've seen.

I think you're supposed to assume that that stuff is in fact the same as the stuff in the ruins. What you aren't supposed to do is think about how that works (because it doesn't).

Maybe there's actually a jinn inside the bottle with utility unrelated to the fact that the water it's submerged in becomes hallucinogenic?

I figured they wanted the jar because it produces a stronger hallucinogenic. Talbot nails Drake with a mainline dose of their current formula, and all it does is make Drake stumble away through crowds of people for a while. He drinks a sample of the real deal though, and it ends up being far more potent. Who knows why they want it, but it's definitely stronger than what they already have. I think it seems like natural badguy protocol to secure the more powerful stuff.

I'm imagining that they had like, a little bit of the hallucinogen that they used to make their darts. Finding Iram of the Pillars was about tracking down the source of the drug so they could use it to control anyone they wanted with a nigh-unlimited source of fear juice.

On the one hand, Sully not being dead sort of wrecked with the dramatic throughline of the game. On the other hand, SULLY SHOULD NEVER EVER DIE.

You know, i kinda felt like it was more of a twist that Sully survived, considering the constant and obvious foreshadowing of his death. I played pretty much everything past meeting Elena in this game waiting for Sully to die, and was more surprised that he was alive rather than dead.

I was thanked in the credits!!!  (I drew the rad 90s kid Drake picture.)My feelings on Uncharted 3 are that it was SUPER loving RAD and looked really fun to play and had amazing set pieces. It also mixed it up a lot so that it wasn't just Drake going from location to location shooting guys, rinse and repeat. And of course, the characters sparkled. I wish Cutter had stayed in, but whatcha gonna do? Uncharted 2 was excellent in a more cinematic sense, but 3 screws with your head in a way that only video games can. I really admire that. The pacing was wonky, but a game doesn't need perfect pacing to be great. Uncharted 3 more than made up for pacing stumbles with what it did amazingly well. Looking forward to Uncharted 4 and C&I's inevitable LP of it.

I agree, the game hints and Sully dying for most of the game, with Elena saying stuff like "He'd do anything for you, and you're being reckless and getting in over your head". Plus if Sully did die from Drake's adventuring it would kind of kill the series, as Drake wouldn't be all excited to hunt for treasure after it led to the death of his father figure.

Quiet Python posted:"Nothing much came of it in the end" is the glaring weakness of Uncharted 3. Cutter, Talbot, Drake's fake past, the ship graveyard. All stuff that ended abruptly or didn't pay off later. Uncharted 4 trailer-based speculation: I think the thief in question is going to be from the past, simply because of the calligraphy and the ink splatters. I don't think they'd do that to imply Nate dying. As far as UC3 goes, it is definitely on the whole weaker than UC2, while also feeling way too similar. Somebody pointed out the "starting with a flashback, then going into an extreme temperature and passing out, being saved by a native" thing, but I also hated how the Drake/Elena relationship drama was essentially EXACTLY the same as UC2. It just kind of felt like the writers wanted more relationship drama but didn't want to involve a new female character so they just reset things back to a similar situation as UC2 to hit the same kind of "awww they really do like each other" note. Maybe that's just me though. Excellent LP, as usual Chip and Ironicus, and maybe I should find time to watch the stuff you've done besides Uncharted and a few of the MGS games.

Sully dying would definitely be better for the story, but would anyone really want to play an Uncharted 4 without him? I felt the ending comes on a little too quickly in this one pacing wise, but honestly, I think a part of that may be because the trophy notification for beating that guy and completing (I forgot his name suddenly) comes up really quickly afterwards. I'm glad Wonderful 101 is next up. I love me some Hideki Kamiya but I can't afford a Wii U, and I definitely won't be buying a Bone for Scalebound.

It would be unforgivable because Sully dying would mean no more Sully and there is no situation that is not improved by Sully.

But he did die, and in a perfectly plausible way. It's not thematic timing's fault that Drake had just finished drinking the most powerful hallucinogenic known to man.

It's a bit of a shame that Uncharted 3's big theme was 'you shouldn't be dragging this old man to these anymore, he will die'. Then at the end Drake thinks Sully really did die, and presumably learns his lesson that it's not worth the risk... ...Then the uncharted 4 trailer is him asking Sully to come on another one!

The game seemed to write itself into a corner. It heavily implied Sully would die, and the story kinda needed him to die to prove a point to Drake. But nothing can kill Victor Sullivan. Ever. It just kinda leaves the ending hollow, even with the awesome looking escape. Still more entertaining than the majority of action games available, though. Great LP, as usual. Thanks. Can't wait for Wonderful 101.

I still can't decide which is more stupid - the twist in this game, or the Vita one. Then again the Vita game is worse in every possible way, and also interrupts gameplay every 15 seconds to show you the neat card you just unlocked! (the cards are used in a separate card game you'll never play anyway). All of the characters are also completely insufferable, except Sully, who singlehandedly made me put in the effort to actually finish the thing. Also, the two bosses are fought in instant-death QTE sequences that feel like they NEVER END. So out of four Uncharted games I only enjoyed two. I'm still kind of curious about UC4, but it's not going to be a day 1 purchase.

I still enjoy the series enough to look forward to a new one, even if the luster has worn off a little. As mentioned in the video, though, the departure of some of the writing staff is worrisome.

I sorta knew something was up when the mysterious djinn-soldier hybrid things started popping up. Either that or Naughty Dog forgot all about pacing and proper storytelling and just threw in some magical fireball-hurling teleporters without any real mention of where the gently caress they came from, which would really help the general opinion that the game's overall pacing is sort of borked. I dunno what to think of the 'twist' being that there was nothing supernatural, as it would have been cool to see how they'd interpret a djinn. Not like they haven't already had magical zombie dust in a sarcophagus and blue ooze turning people into even more blue roid apes. I just realized, all three games have involved people ingesting some sort of spooky substance.

I will give the Vita game this - you can aim by moving the Vita around which works perfectly and feels really intuitive. Makes sniping a cakewalk. Too bad most of the game is spent rubbing the screen to brush off dirt or similar braindead activities. Hopefully UC4 won't misuse the new PS4 gimmicks too much.
