I love how little Nathan looks kind of like Mikey Walsh from The Goonies, in fact a lot about UC4 reminds me about the Goonies which is why I love it so much

Well here have this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhZa2NFNyws. Nolan North is given a list of quotes to read in his Nathan Drake voice while Troy Baker is tasked with guessing whether each line was said by Nathan Drake or Drake the rapper. They really do seem to have a lot of fun together.

The interview between the two is also great
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu30xUy2ex0
Basically Troy and Nathan are the greatest :allears:

There are some cutscenes in there but nothing that wasn't in the commercials for the game

I love the reference to Last Crusade with the cut from smiling young Drake to getting punched in the face adult Drake

The only thing frustrating about this LP is going to be waiting for the first few chapters. The game starts out slow and its like a show that works better as a binge watch over waiting week after week.

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.

Wasn't Amy's original idea to make Sam judging by how he narrates the first teaser for UC4?

If that was supposed to be Sam's first incarnation then it seems he was originally going to be the villain? Or at least not a good guy at the start.

Yeah I meant to say that, but forgot to :downs:

But apparently the original incarnation of UC4 was supposed to be darker, which is kind of funny when you consider that the people who took charge and made it lighter were the same people who made The Last of Us

I got to say on the Volition stream of the Telltale Batman Game it was great for reaction to Sully's VA voicing Falcone Chip. That and the game looks great especially with the murderers row of Voice Acting talent they got for it; surprised Nolan North wasn't in it.

He'd also be the Nate too, since he knows history stuff.

But he'd probably talk to himself less when he figured things out.

I just hope if they do a Chole/Cutter DLC like I think they are doing they don't kill off Cutter in a contrived matter.

Nathan would probably be able to do pretty well in academia if it weren't for his kleptomania and the fact that he ends up destroying every ruin he finds.

I don't know why Elena is encouraging him to go off the straight and narrow, they seem to be alright financially. They could just go on another vacation instead.

I think Nate would get bored with academia when he has to deal with stick in the mud archaeologists who get mad when you want to find a lost civilization instead of looking at some peasant's trash pit. That poo poo didn't bring in the big bucks when museums first started, going to other countries' and taking their priceless treasures did!

Great voice acting in those games too

Also this episode justified why it would have been dumb to kill off Sully in UC3 :colbert:

Really the Uncharted games are like the Fast and Furious series; a lot of action set pieces and people being like a family.

I'm pretty sure he's not lying to her to avoid having the conversation. He's trying to keep her safe by not getting her involved, because he's the hero and that's what heroes do. Relatedly, heroics are stupid and tend to get him in all sorts of trouble, but that's far from new.

He is also putting a lot of unneeded stress on himself because he wants to prove Elena and himself that he can have leave that adventuring life behind him; despite the fact that Elena was perfectly fine with him doing the Malaysia job.

If anyone's struggling to place Nadine's voice actress, that's Laura Bailey, essentially the female counterpart to Troy (In that she's frigging' everywhere).

I'm not a huge fan of how Nadine's boss fight is handled, though that's simply because I detest the "Playable boss fight that the player has to lose," cliche. Surely Naughty Dog could have done a cutscene where Nate gets a lucky shot in and takes Nadine down, only for some goons to come in and for him to have to jump out the window. As it stands, it just felt to me like artificially making Nadine look more badass when she hasn't really earned those credentials.

This game has all the best SR4 Boss voice actors

Oh, and as for Indiana Jones references, "~~Belloq's~~ Rafe's staff is too long, they're digging in the wrong place."

There are a lot of Raiders references in this game; still my favorite is the Last Crusade reference from the beginning.

Also Sully loving over Rafe at the last second of bidding is probably my favorite Sully moment

While there was a break between updates I went back to reread the UC3 LP thread and its kind of funny in retrospect how people were worried how this game was going to be all depressing and serious when the news about the creative shake ups at ND started.

Thread got me unexected when the 120 something new messages weren't about the Laura Bailey voicing a black woman when Naugty Dog could have hired someone more fitting but Nadine being a scripted fight.

I guess since Drake has to end out the window by the end of it the player could just run away immeditaly when the fight began. Those guns could choke a grizzly

Well the story is that Nadine was originally a White South African, but they changed her to black and liked the look and since Laura was already doing mocap and VAing for it they decided to keep rolling with it.

That was more a case of greed than anything else.
He felt he didnt have enough, so a few merchant ships, a hit was called and bam you got one pirate dead at 38.

Its amazing how short Pirates' careers were, well not surprising given the times they lived.

My favorite Pirate story actually isn't during the Golden Age of Piracy, but rather Roman times when Cilician Pirates captured Julius Caesar

From Some Clickbait Article posted:

A 25 year old Julius Caesar was sailing the Aegean Sea when he was kidnapped by Sicilian pirates. The pirates who captured him initially asked for a ransom of 20 talents of silver (which is about 620 kg of silver or $600,000 by today�s silver prices). According to Plutarch, rather than send his associates off to gather the silver, he instead laughed at the pirates and demanded they ask for 50 (1550 kg of silver), as 20 talents of silver was too small of a ransom for himself.

The pirates, of course, agreed and Caesar sent some of his associates off to gather the silver, which took 38 days to accomplish. Now nearly alone with the pirates (only keeping two servants and one of his friends), rather than cower, he instead took the route of treating them as if they were his subordinates. He even went so far as to demand they not talk whenever he decided to take a nap or go to sleep for the night. He spent most of his time with them composing and reciting poetry, as well as writing speeches. He would then recite the works to the pirates. He also joined in with playing various games with the pirates and participating in their exercises, generally acting as if he wasn�t a prisoner, but rather, their leader. The pirates quickly grew to respect and like him and allowed him the freedom to more or less do as he pleased on their island and ships.

While he was friendly with them, he also didn�t appreciate being held captive. As such, he swore to them that he would hunt them down and have them crucified, once the ransom was paid. Despite the fact that at that time he was just acting as a private citizen, once he was free, he manage to quickly raise a small fleet which he took back to the island the pirates had held him at. Apparently they hadn�t taken his threats seriously, because they were still there when he arrived. He captured them and took back his 50 talents of silver, along with all their possessions.

He next delivered the pirates to the authorities at the prison at Pergamon and then traveled to meet the proconsul of Asia, Marcus Junius, to petition to have the pirates executed. The proconsul refused, wanting to sell the pirates as slaves and take the spoils for himself. Unhappy with this outcome, Caesar traveled back to Pergamon where the Sicilian pirates were being held and ordered that they be crucified under his own authority, which was subsequently done.

I am suddenly much less interested in the plot after that cutscene. Cliche brother betrayal, Sam gets shot again in a maybe-lethal way, and the possibility of a three-way tug of war is thrown out like old milk. I would actually be completely okay if ep20 was just Nate stealing a boat and going home to try to patch things up with Elena. Let Rafe comb that island for years for the treasure, let Sam be Schroedinger's brother again, just go home and be happy you're not dealing with this poo poo anymore.

Sam never really betrayed Nate, I can relate because if I was on a quest to find lost Pirate treasure I rather trick my younger brother into dropping everything to help me rather than work with the king of all douchebags who is directly responsible for making me stay 13 years in a shithole prison.
