Everything GREAT About Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception! (Aka "Set Piece: The Game") 

this game has some of my favorite nate and elena moments, genuinely. obviously thief's end as a whole takes the cake in that department, but i always just loved that little moment when nate stumbles back to elena's apartment and he looks at her ring and apologizes before falling asleep, with elana's"i know". such great, subtle voice acting communicating so much about their relationship and i never seen anyone giving it the respect it deserves

Yes finally, this was my first uncharted story so no matter how rough it was, it’s still my first

19:10 the game genre you’re thinking of is called a light gun game, because the gun you use has ir light that the screen can detect which registers where you shot. The GOAT of these games is the Time Crisis series. I believe Time Crisis 4 or 5 has a section or two where your shooting robot bugs like this.

The reason uncharted 3 is my favourite uncharted is: 1. The characters and their dialogue, especially the first half with Chloe and Cutter(my beloved which is one of my TOP uncharted characters ❤️) If only they had more time to focus more on the story and the characters it would be the best uncharted game. 2.The gameplay is par amazing with uncharted 4 3.The music in this game SLAPS THE MOST in this series!! 4. The multilayer WAS ONE OF DA BEST online games l have ever played 🔥🔥🔥.It had plenty of modes,maps,funny skins and emotes that were amazing and of course after 2 years they putted it F R E E !!! Also the split screen was pure fun playing with my brother. It is a crime that they didn't bring any of it on the remastered version and updating the game because uncharted 4 was not as fun as un3. 5. It had Victor god damn Sullivan !!! 🔥🚬 6. It had INSANE environments and graphics that were jaw dropping for the ps3❤🔥

As a kid I would play the chateau demo every time I went shopping with my dad, and that first play through is one of the most memorable gaming experiences of my life. I know 2 and 4 are the crowd favorites, but this game holds a VERY very special place in my heart. It made me a fan of the my favorite video game franchise of all time and the memories I have tied to it are untouchable

To answer your question about the spiders part, the arcade game in question was Time Crisis 4. There's section where you deal with bugs that move very similar to the spiders.

Still want uncharted 3 multiplayer remastered I'll keep preaching about it to day i die

I know this isn’t the most popular opinion but Uncharted 3 is my favorite! Love this channel! It’s so fn refreshing to have a channel devoted exclusively to positivity!

Finally, i have been waiting for this. I can't wait for uncharted 4

"Oh my god guys, is UC4 gonna make me cry?" Short answer, yes, long answer, incoherent sobbing

This was my first ever video game that I played through to completion. It has some flaws but it will always be remembered in my mind as the game that was my first if you will. It holds a special place in my heart.

Uncharted 3 was the first uncharted game i played and it got me hooked, it got me hooked good. Even though 4 is my favorite, this one just is special to me...I don't think i'm ready for the U4 video because i might just cry looking back at it...hell of a game!

Bit of a fun fact: Graham McTavish played Cutter as well as the main antagonist in Uncharted 2

Uncharted 3 is phenomenal, but 2 and 4 are better

I truly enjoy Uncharted 3’s story. My only issue is the Nathan/Elena breakup repetition. The fact that it keeps happening makes you wonder if it would be better off with them parting ways

Yeah I played and completed all the Uncharted games only a few years ago, and on my initial playthrough, I actually liked Uncharted 3 the most out of the first 3. Yes it has some plot conveniences, and I wish they had gone deeper with some of the characters, but the gameplay, set pieces and humor were all still top notch, and honestly that scene with Elena and Drake after he stumbles into her room after escaping abduction is one of my favorite moments in the entire series, and it has quite a bit of emotional depth, in no small part because of the performances. Despite its flaws, I still love this game!

This was my first ever uncharted game. And I did not finish it as a kid because my dumb kid brain got stuck on the globe puzzle

I am going through the Uncharted series right now and just finished Drake’s Deception. Glad to see the review when it’s so fresh on the mind!

Uncharted 3 I played when it came out, having given the first two a shot based purely off the hype generated by the trailers for 3. It's also worth noting there was a fun youtube series where Troy Baker and Nolan North (before Troy split the channel) played through each uncharted game (and the Last of Us Pt1) in their entirety with guest appearances from Amy Hennig, and the other cast members, it's well worth a watch!

22:07 I'm curently rewatching this video and I hear Helldivers mentioned and my head almost started spinning and I needed like a minute of processing and pacing back and forth in my room, cut I could swear that this video came out like half a year ago and not 1 month ago.

As for the pirate arc ,its actually one of best action scenes in the game,I loved it ,I loved playing it,it made me feel like I am nathan drake , that's what the game is all about,at the end uncharted 3 is one of the best games for me ...ever

I had the Nathan Drake collection on my ps4. It included the first three games, and I loved them. I was very sad when the ps4 stoped working.

It’s interesting you say that you wanted Charlie to be around longer because that was actually the original intention but during development of the game Charlie’s actor Graham McTavish (who also played Zoran Lazarevic) was cast as one of the dwarfs in The Hobbit trilogy meaning he had to move to New Zealand for the year long production that’s why Charlie abruptly leaves the story

This was actually my first Uncharted game, I had played The Last of Us first and found out about the series afterwards. I still remember getting this game for my birthday and popping it into my PS3, being absolutely blown away by just how insane the set pieces are. Uncharted 2 and 4 are still my favorites overall but Uncharted 3 holds a place in my heart because it was the first one I played, y'know? Great video as always, and I can't wait to see you talk about Uncharted 4!

Awesome video! And the arcade game you were talking about is Time Crisis 4 with the shooting swarms of bugs!

Man, I was like 17 when I played it on release and the Sully death really got to me, I completely bought it and was absolutely PISSED and eager to jump down there like Drake to mow them down. Still wish they stuck with it tho, as you said, it would've been one hell of a way to end Drake's destructive dreams

I just played this game for the first time, it's great! Sometimes big and fun and superbly made is what you want.

Of the first three games I actually favor 3. I can't explain why. I just live for the accidental skydive. I also LOVE the opening quote. It just hits so right.

Man I LOVED this game! It was my first Uncharted, and my first PS3 game! Playing this convinced me to pick up the first two. Have loved every entry in this franchise.

Uncharted is my dad and I favorite game series, and we were listening to this, and he says he enjoyed the review!

All of the Uncharted games, Metal Gear Solid 3, Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Minecraft are some of my favorite video games of all time

FINALLY!!! I thought you'd NEVER get back on this series!

having this justas im going to play all Uncharteds for the 1st time, on my own is really great. Thank you GW man

You gotta make the uncharted 4 video! Ive been patiently waiting! 😂

He is so right about phone contracts. I'd love to see Charlie again some day.

Yaaaayyyyyyy I’ve been wanting him to hopefully finish the uncharted series

My fiancé and i love watching these when they come out, also i would recommend taking a look at banishers: ghosts of new eden! Gameplay a little boring but the STORY is just phenomenal

As much as I loved all the games 3 holds a special place in my heart. 3 is just so much fun and the main characters are also fun

did not even know this game had haters this is my favorite game ever

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE. I finaly got a pc so i could play uncharted 4

I absolutely love the uncharted games! I also love the Gears of War games! Can you please do Gears of War 2 eventually?!

Great review, if you liked these you’d probably like the Plague Tale games. Both are incredible.

I unfortunately got the trilogy when it was on the PS4. And got Uncharted 4 with the system. I honestly loved the series as a fun time and laugh from all the jokes quips and banter. I did take the time to find all the treasures hidden throughout the game on all 4 games. (Still having a hard time on Lost Legacy) But this series will always be there for some fun and laughs with a great story to listen to as you play.

19:10 Arcade game with gun and foot pedal? Do you mean the Time Crisis series? I think it was the first arcade shooter that actually started you in cover and pressing the foot pedal brought you out of cover so you could shoot enemies. Releasing the foot pedal let you hide/dodge attacks and also, reloaded your handgun ammo. Third game in the series introduced new weapons that you could swap between. The music in the game series is a banger though.

6:38 I can't tell if it's a bit or not, but like half of the pipes, drains and the literal golden letters young Drake climbs down are all yellow signs pointing the way to climb/go. This isn't a bad thing, but it's strange that it's such an "issue" now.

Time Crisis! That's the one I remember best

YES UNCHARTED GAMING WINS IS BACK

I played all 4 when they came out and 1, 2, and 3 have been beaten multiple times. The stories might not be the best but they're still fun for me anyways and I've actually gotten some inspiration for D&D ideas from these games

The multiplayer was something else. Some matches started with a team defending a plane taking off while the other team was on cars or both teams on two different trains

Will you take a look at Spec Ops: The Line in the future, as well?

God I adore uncharted, started with 4 and have since played lost legacy and 1 and 2 as part of the drake collection, haven’t gotten round to 3 yet but quite excited

Charlie Cutter is a great character in this game and the series overall. Would love to see him return in a future game with Chloe, Nadine and Sam maybe.

Finally more Uncharted! Can't wait for you to get to 4 because 4 is one of my favorite games ever

We get an Uncharted video per year. Can't wait for 2026 to finally get my Lost Legacy review ❤❤

19:13 time crisis was and still is the best thing to ever hit the arcades

Uncharted 1 will always be my favorite minus those jet ski parts but all of the games have been solid fun action adventure titles and I'm glad to see them still getting love to this day

Yeah I don’t care what the others say, but uncharted 3 is the second best story in the whole series, uncharted 4 got good gameplay no doubts but it doesn’t beat uncharted 1 story.

Im the 1k like it was so satisfying seeing the numbers changed

I love this game

19:15 the game i believe you were thinking of is Time Crisis

Been waiting for this video for a while

I was SHOOK in 2011 when "Sully" got shot.

Why does Man Drake need treasure? Is he greedy?

Love your content 😊😊😊❤❤

8:03 10/10 Sully impression

17:09 That was so mean! 😂. The technique is called a rubbing for those of you who want to know.

Very underrated The game is amazing despite not being 100% finished btw Imagine if it was finished it would have been on par with Uncharted 2 Its weird but all the uncharted games are way better than i remember and i loved them even before

I played the main 4 uncharted games over the holidays 2 years ago. And it's some of the best games I've ever played. I legit texted my roommate "I wanna be in between Elena and Chloe rn" once I completed Uncharted 3. My ranking: Uncharted 4 Uncharted 2 Uncharted 1 Uncharted 3 I haven't played Lost Legacy.

Idk, I grew up with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft, so I enjoyed the story of this series all the way through (I played them much later in life, same boat as you, GW). It's not Shakespeare, but it keeps you wondering, "What happens now?" My only peeves are the final boss fights (never been a fan of gimmick battles, and the checkpoints don't help if you mess up) and low replay value. Playing Drake's Fortune through to A Theif's End feels like watching a complete film series back-to-back. It's a great time, but you'll be exhausted by the end of it.

I was convinced Marlowe was played by Helen Mirren

Hot take: U3 isn't better than U2, but it definitely isn't worse. U3 expands on things that were (in my opinion) lacking in U2 like the story (say what you want, but Yugoslavian soviet-style merc massacring the Tibetian villages, Na*i Annenerbe zoldiers and immortal mutants are not as original as it may seem, and definitely not better than "Indiana Jones meets Oceans eleven" story about lost medieval city). Also character developments and interactions are amazing. So it's all about a personal preferences, and not some objective flaws (as U2 had them too). Overall, the whole series is a one big masterpiece and master class in storyrelling.

I remember Uncharted 3 being my first Uncharted game, both to play and to beat when I was younger, and it continues to be my favourite. Should I have been playing it at 5 or 6 years old? No, but damn this game was too good to stop little me from playing it all the way through.

My overall opinion on the Uncharted games is that 1 hasn't aged well, 2 is a really solid adventure, 3 is the perfect playable dumb action movie with character exploration (this game is likely my second favorite and easily the most replayable for me), and 4 is the perfect sendoff to the franchise with easily the best story and best overall game. I do think 4 is really hard to replay though, as the opening is fairly long with minimal action. Lost Legacy has its fun moments, but it can feel really awkward at points.

Hey gaming wins, I was wondering if you can do everything great about Sleeping Dogs? I feel like it's hugely underrated.

*mentions old arcade game with the plastic gun and petal* Dude, that's Time Crisis.

While Uncharted 3 definitely isn’t the best in the series, it is my favorite purely because of nostalgia. Probably the game I’ve sunk the most hours into and replayed the most

*Finally* In the words of the great Stephen A. Smith, “this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for”

19:10 I think you're referring to Time Crisis.

15:17 Not this being how I finally noticed that the setpieces are built around the four elements! 😂

This makes me SUUUPER excited for the Uncharted 4 video. 3 is good in many ways but has its faults like the rest of them

Recommendation if you wanna use it, the dead rising series And the witcher 3 plus expansions

I love Uncharted 3 more now because it reminds me of Dune

I’m waiting for everything great about Mafia Definitive Edition

"Doesn't this remind you of the arcade game with the plastic gun and the petal?" You mean Time Crisis? Great game. And you must mean TC 4 with the Terror Bites.

is it time crisis or house of the dead you are thinking of when you are talking about the swarm in the video?

*UNCHARTED IS PEAK*

I first played Uncharted a few months ago. My sister got me the Nathan Drake collection for Christmas and I smashed all 3 games out pretty quickly. If I were to rate them I’d say 2, 1 and 3. I was in a PlayStation party while playing and I’d always say to my friend “WHEN DOES ELENA COME IN” I love her sm 😂. And I nicknamed uncharted 3 “walking simulator” obviously not as bad as death stranding, but still. I can’t wait to play 4!

Uncharted 3 is my entrance in the series, I know people say "Your first game is your favorite" and I understand. But Uncharted 3 was bottlenecked by TLOU, they made two teams to make U3 and TLOU and in the end people say the TLOU team was the best cuz of the good story, graphics, gameplay etc... ( It also won a GOTY so...). I’m not saying I hate TLOU, it’s actually a close second favourite game of mine. But people just say U3 was bad cuz of the story, some people said it was underdeveloped (no shit) cuz TLOU team had some devs from Uncharted 2 who couldn't wait to work on the next Uncharted but guess what Neil Druckmann had some other Ideas. Look at the behind the scenes footage on the ps3 version (@Playstation and @PSGlitchers have them uploaded on his channel) where the developers talk what they did to make the game look good or etc, they actually put so much work in this one. If you watch them all, you can see a good amount of devs from U2 aren't in the U3 BTS videos. That shows how many devs were pushed to work on U3. They did research on the Atlantis of the Sand, Lawrence of Arabia's death and more research than they did before on the other games. Also the Soundtrack is at it's peak in all games (Greg Edmonson outdid himself). Even Nolan North, Richard McGonagle played it (on the formerly known Retro Replay channel, now called Couch Soup), and said that U3 was their favorite because there was more Sully but also because they enjoyed making it. And Richard McGonagle even hated making U4 cuz Amy Hennig was fired and Neil had to work on it. But people nowadays say Uncharted 2 or 4 or even Lost Legacy is their favorite, because you either entered the franchise too late (Because of the Legacy of Thieves collection) or you follow the trend with other people. I'm not saying Uncharted 2/4/LL was bad, I'm saying that they're overrated (maybe LL not). But you calling it a joke is not cool. People don‘t appreciate it because of the story or some other reason. But the Multiplayer was the reason I bought the game, my friend said it was a crazy good Multiplayer and I bought it no questions asked. I don’t remember if I played the Story or the Multiplayer, but I loved the story and the father and son relationship with Sully and Nate. But people saying it’s the worst in the franchise is not true. Uncharted 3 won some awards and (like I said) people loved its gameplay, multiplayer, etc…

Yooooo speaking of games that feel like movies, what would a guy have to do to get a wins video for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided? 👀 Only an hour into the story and holy fuck

Can you do a video on days gone please? Would love to hear your opinion

9:12 Seeing great things? From a smaller Nathan Drake Almost like its greatness from small beginnings-HEYYO😂😂😂

How the hell is this story lackluster, pulling out all those real references making a story out of it and Linking it to something happend 20 yrs ago and also showing how sully came into his life ,I can't think of a better story for an adventure action game like this,It just feels out and out as an action movie ,that too a great one

wish the multiplayer was on for the ps4 version

U4 is gonna make you cry

YES FINALLY

I beg of you please do a videonon MGSV

Even a bad Uncharted game is still better than most games 😂

Finalllyyyyyy

22:08 that one has aged...poorly

To me uncharted is a lot like chucky in the video-game world it’s campy stupid and very entertaining
