"What really eats my ass" -GamingWins 2024

49:02 I love how they kept the Uncharted irony of "villains being undone by what they've sought after" but just slightly tweaked it. Before it was thanks to some borderline paranormal stuff, the virus in the coffin, the hallucinogen etc... Here it's straight forward. You want the treasure? Have the treasure. Crushed by the very gold he sought, beatiful.

8 years later and still the best game i have ever played.

The fact they the uncharted movie could have been like this just makes me mad we need a sequel and a GOOD one at that

Rafe was also voiced by the VA who'd later go on to voice Phillip Graves from the modern warfare reboot trilogy

THE JEEP! Talking details, one of my favorite subtle details in this game is purely that the jeep is a manual transmission and they animated Nate constantly shifting. I drove around for over an hour back in the day just watching that damn animation

I can’t believe that Sam is wearing the same shirt Nate did in Uncharted 3 when he meets Sully crazy detail

I bought this game with the ps4 in 2017. I played the game (and finished it) 24 times with the first 4 runs being me and my brother taking turns with the other watching and commentating and still having a blast. we ended up getting the plat trophy on our 25th time. And the last time we played it was new years eve of 2018. five years later and I found myself playing with my brother the whole uncharted series with each guy playing his two personal favorites. Yet we both couldnt but share uncharted 4 on new years eve because of the many memories we got from the game. From my opinion, 10/10 game.

Doing things legally definitely paid off for Nate and Elena, they became world famous explorers, are filthy rich and live on a fricking tropical island

I swear that when Nate was playing with the pong gun, one of the targets looked like Lazarevic, the villain from Uncharted 2. Maybe the other targets looked like villains or enemies from the previous games too but the Lazarevic one was the one I recognized and had a good chuckle at.

This game truly was way ahead of its time. It actually blends right in with most PS5 games today.

"What really eats my ass" caught me off guard I'm ngl

I got this with my PS4 bundle. Can’t believe it’s been 8 years. Fucking hell.

I hope they do an uncharted 5, where we play as Cassie. Nate's story is done, but There's a lot Cassie could do. maybe follow in the footsteps of one of her Dad's adventures and find something he didn't or something.

I will defend uncharted 3 until the day I die, but 4 still remains my favorite game of all time. One of the absolute greats.

It's worth noting that, when this game came was in development, copper was regularly in the news as a common target for theft, the price spiked, so brand new homes were being stripped in the dead of night, sometimes just hours after the electricians and plumbers had finished the job; multi-ton spools of cable (like those depicted) were being stolen off of industrial yards and factory sites... It's pretty akin to piracy on the high seas, and; I felt; was to punctuate the juxtaposition of his mundane life with his addiction to the thrill of treasure hunting... same thing, different stakes which they double down on with the pong gun later EDIT: right now, copper is nearly $10k a ton. presuming the whole cargo was copper spools like those, each worth around $800-1500, it could clear near $1 million+ total... that's not chump change...

"Damn you helldivers 2" sounds like UNDEMOCRATIC noises to me! Might have to inform the Democracy Officer

18:15 You actually can’t get that rope throw the first time. Still very funny though!

Has anyone noticed that the shirt Sam is wearing( in the flashback chapters when they were kids )is the same shirt Nate wears in uncharted 3 when he was a kid meeting sully.

"The Juicy world of Cheating on your wife but with your brother!" Me cause i forgot what video I clicked on and wasnt watching it actively: I BEG YOUR BIGGEST PARDON?!

You missed a Jim jones reference. Jim jones massacred them by spiking their drinks with cyanide. Avery did the same thing with the captains. Bringing their parallels closer together. In short terms… …You could say the pirates drank the kool-aid

whelp uncharted 4 gave me post game depression, and seeing the end of this amazing video series gave me post video depression. Thanks for the great content, can't wait to see what you put out next :)

Absolutely phenomenal game. Even to this day, the animations and motion capture, in conjunction with the superb acting from Nolan, Emily, Richard, Troy, etc, stun me to my core. Considering this was released 8 YEARS AGO and very few games have matched this level of detail and quality in that time, it's truly a technical masterpiece of a game. Plus that score from Henry Jackman...*chef's kiss*. Fun fact; Cassie was played by Kaitlyn Dever, who happens to be playing a certain character with a signature braid and a love of golf in The Last of Us season 2 👀

Still a banger. To this day. When they mentioned Nathan’s nick name back in the day I chuckled. They called me Nate the Great too when I was younger.

40:30 Honestly, that was legitimately my favorite part of the game. Just one long exhale after everything to get a reset on everything going on Such a phenomenal game that understands pacing to a T

I just couldn't believe just how GOOD this game was/is. Gameplay (without the weight of having upgrade trees that all games have nowadays), graphics, story, drama and some of the most realistic personal relationships. And that's to say nothing about the polish of this game.

This game was the peak of my gaming experience and so far has not been surpassed. I never stopped smiling or gaping. Every time I replay it's as good as the first time.

The Madagascar chase may be one of the best gaming set pieces of all time, certainly one of my favorite gaming moments. Something about a moment so "cinematic" yet so hands on is, like you said, a masterclass.

Everytime I see the last shot of the book with kid Sam and Nate, the picture of U1 and Sic Parvis Magna I cry. Without fail. I love this franchise and I love these characters and I'm glad it's ended because 4 is a perfect send off to characters that all deserve happiness

"Cheating on your wife but with your brother" LMFAOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭

The only commentary I always enjoy and respect about games... he has videos on bad games and REALLY TRIES to bring a good light to them. I also love the comment about wanting to go outside after finishing the game. That effect is real

Love the video! One small detail though. The Jonestown massacre took place in Guyana which is a neighboring country to Brazil

I was playing this yesterday, and I can't believe how good the game still looks. It's drop-dead gorgeous.

My first time playing the chase sequence remains the best experience I've ever had in a game. When the motorbike slid to a halt on the docks and the chase music cut away I just put down my controller and applauded.

You have to play metal gear solid series or the mass effect series you would have so so much story to chew on and the characters are so good

I punched the air in vindication when you addressed the bs reactions to Nadine kicking ass. 👏🏻

Just want to add the not so small detail but still love that Nate and Elena named their daughter after Nate's mother, Cassandra. Would love to see you cover the Watch Dogs series or Sleeping Dogs

My favorite Uncharted game

I just binge played the Uncharted games last year. And while I did like all of them, Uncharted 4 was by far my favorite.

Guess who just bought the Uncharted Collection and the Uncharted 4 bundle with Lost Legacy? This guy. And I can't wait to dive in

My bro got me the trilogy on ps4 really cheap, and we've had 3's desert as the background for the longest time without even playing it, we had the first 2 from Gamefly of all places back on ps3 and at the time i was a kid and couldnt get past a certain part in drakes fortune and just never got through the full games till after on the trilogy. When i finished the third game, i HAD to get the final one, so i begged my bro, and he then got it for me. And well, it really was a beautiful journey. And watching this series, i realize how deep and emotional it all really is. Thank you

using water to lift the wood beam was a gamble, as Ships' Wood can be so impregnated with salt that it's barely (or not at all) buoyant anymore. But Nate's superpower is Luck!

Love the change of the dings for the win sounds being item collection from BOTW

I had kind of hoped back in the day that bit about Nadine vs Nate complaining was just some dumb piece someone wrote to start people raging. You know just some troll being an ass. Because yeah, it's obvious she was probably going to win. She's an actual mercenary and leader of a military crew. She's going to fight better than the guy who has mostly improvised his way through fights. Also, no clue who Jim Jones is. Never heard of him till this video. Seems kinda like a niche thing to read about.

I’ll guess that Sam must love golfing

18:00 I think the meaning behind Nate unzipping his jacket after Sam zipped it is simply from "little brother rebellious nature" after Sam kind of babied him the same way a mom would annoyingly tell her kid to eat their vegetables because "she knows what's best for them", making the kid want to eat them even less because their mom told them to.

The amount of effort that it took to make this video. Great work man! Brought back all the memories I had of this game. Thanks!

Uncharted 4 8 years old, and the graphics are still a milestone in gaming. Uncharted is my favorite gaming series of all time, and Uncharted 4 is my favorite game of all time. I've been playing Uncharted since i was young. So it's so nostalgic for me.

21:26 the issue with that statement is that she gets herself beaten up by nameless soldier in uncharted lost legacy

I just finished this game like 2 days ago. And this game is way bigger than I thought. Happy u made this vid 😁

Love the channel videos. Keep up the awesome work :)

Thank you so much for doing this game

Absolutely love this game and was heavily awaiting your take on it!

Crazy that I just started playing the game again and I see he posts this. Let’s gooooo

36:59 - 37:03 That falling reference had me laughing

Learned a lot of lessons through this video, thanks man!

on the topic of crunch that you got onto near the end of the video, its never going anywhere but thats ok, every industry has stressful points of higher workloads, I work retail and I would say crunch in the gaming industry is like working black Friday, Christmas eve, or Superbowl sunday if your american (which yes Superbowl Sunday is just as packed as black Friday) but crunch becomes a problem when it goes from occasional maybe a couple times a year to months on months of crunch, when crunch time becomes the normal time thats when it becomes a problem

I'm currently doing a series on my channel about the greatest set piece moments of all time and the uncharted series had so many to choose from. I'm a grown man who still cries at the end of this game and not ashamed to admit it.

I adore this game, it’s the reason I want to be an archaeologist and got me through a tough time. One of the best games ever made

Fun fact: one of the leader pirate paintings is a Monkey island Easter egg (The blond bearded guy with the burnt painting who's symbol is a monkey is Guybrush threepwood legal reasons he's just named guy wood )

It was a pleasent surprise going back to this game after watching this video, cause I played it REALLY young so I never picked up on the symbolic stuff involving Sam and how he affected Nate; looking at it through the lense of a man obsessed with having it all and being stuck between his family and his obsession is a compelling story that keeps my focus. I felt for Elena through the game, while understanding where nearly everyone in this game came from; they're all realistic people stuck in a put upon situation that makes it hard to really say anyone here isn't well-written. This game really is a good one.

Man… I remember just before this came out in 2016, I bought the Nathan Drake collection and played through all 1-3 uncharted games back to back before I played 4. A couple of years later in 2018 I played through it again, and then once more when I got my ps4 pro during covid in 2020. I just can’t stay away from this game. It came out in 2016 but it still looks, feels and plays the best out of most games, even from 2020 onwards. I got a Ps5 last year, and I literally just redownloaded this game for the 4th time a couple of weeks ago. This time I am going for the platinum. I completed it on crushing a few days ago and now I’m picking up all of the other trophies. I’ve almost got it lol. This game is a masterpiece. Only TLOU2, Ghost of Tsushima, RDR2, Spiderman and God of War comes close in terms of visuals, story, setting and gameplay in recent years. Every other game developer needs to step up their game, literally.

You deserve wayyy more subscribers than you have, sir. Keep up the good work because we will keep watching.

this game came out right as i was in the middle of my high school exams, i didnt want to fail and be forced to redo that year, being stuck in a place i dreaded SO MUCH, but i also just HAD to play this game as much as possible. so i did, i never actually studied bc that so damn hard, but i managed to pass the exams (barely, and mostly thanks to my high grade in english haha) i wouldnt have studied even if i waited to play the game untill i was done with my exams anyway so it didnt matter really all it did was make a nerve wrecking period actually survivable by distracting me from it all. (if only my history exam was about pirates, but noooo it was about the dutch golden age instead bleh)

7:04 On this section, you play a Nathan before any of the games have taken place (As he has to explain all the stories to Sam), and so you can make the argument that Nate has simply never really killed before or at least isn't desensitized yet

FINALLY! When you started this series over two years ago, I was just ITCHING for you to cover this game! Hands down, one of the top ten best video games I've ever played, and it's tied with Horizon: Zero Dawn as my favorite PlayStation 4 game. Think you'll do Lost Legacy next?

I’ve been waiting for this video

This series was my first game next generation game (going from ps2 to 4. I got the drake collection.) I feel in love with this series. Hard. I think it's the humor mixed with the intense moments that makes me love them all.

Love how you immediately go back to tew’s corpse during the sword fight to see if maybe you can use the sword too, i did the same thing

This video has rekindled my love for this game

11:56 Fun fact: The painting Nathan stares at as he is zoning out is actually concept art for the game also you forgot to count Nathan's "yo mama" joke at the beginning as a win :(

remember playing this game on my ps4 years ago, keep in mind this was my first uncharted and first game of this style, and ket me tell you…this is one of the BEST games ive ever played. so god damn good

Thank you for putting a soft sound for the win counter, the others ones on repeat for hours can get to my head

I was just watching a gameplay of Thiefs End and I thought to my self, "this game would make a great GamingWins video." Now there it is. 😂😂

Cant believe rev Jim Jones was brought up in a game about a treasure hunting fiend who battles hard-ons between nearly dying & his on/off girlfriend.

4:12 Nate's comment right there is exactly what Sully said to both of them at the end of the 1st Uncharted.

I've been waiting for this video 🙏

Love your content ❤❤❤❤

I really love how their chemistry bounce off each other, sometimes too much banter and forced comedy would be exhausting in other games, but not for Uncharted.

Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End is one of the best games Ive ever played. I didnt fully apprreciate it when if first came out, I was 26. Still in my head wrapped up in my past, which like Nate wasn't the cleaneset. But then I got married, then this game opened my eyes. Elina and Nates relationship... hits me so hard. Mirrors my own with my spouse. Ive messed up a lot in our relationship. NO I never found a lost city and shit... but yeah that same idea of not being honest and lying to protect yourself. Each time I play it to reminds me of how to try and fix things and not give up. To talk and be honest eith the one you love the most.

Ending to Nate saga always makes me tear up. Perfect send off to a perfect character

100% agree with "too much tech, not enough games" trend

Many years later and its still in of Best looking Games to day.

Great freaking video bud.

Heck yeah, I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about this game. This came out of nowhere for me, so it’s a great surprise

I've just remembered that Emily Rose's character on Haven was also partnered to a Nathan. Wow, she's said Nathan a whole lot.

I replay this series about once a year!

I remember playing this for the first time back in 2017. I had just turned thirteen and my parents had finally started letting me get more "mature" video games (they had a thing about killing actual people in video games) and this was one of my first. I knew of the series by reputation, but this was my entry into it and while some of the references went over my head, I still enjoyed it a lot. I remember spending hours replaying the Madagascar chase over and over because it was just so much fun. This video was really good, but I'm curious - Do you plan to do a video on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy as well? Again, just out of curiosity since you didn't mention it. It's fine if you don't, I just think that game in general is fairly under-appreciated due to it being a spin-off.

something to note: Nate wasn’t actually in his 40s during UC4, he was only 37 i think, just 2-3 years after UC3 surprisingly

I LOOOOVEEED this game and am so glad to see you go over it. (Also PLEASE do a breakdown on Metal Gear Solid🙏🙏

This was the first video game I’ve ever very played when I first got a ps4 on Christmas Eve 2016

Should add one more win: the license plate on the jeep (VN373), when you look at it upside down spells Elena

I really need you to do kotor so badly, it'd be perfect for your channel

One of my first PS4 games. Played like 5 times till now. And it is still my favorite ending among all the games I ever played😢I enjoy happy endings….

Please do Lost Legacy, I absolutely love Chloe as a character and to her and Nadine team up was amazing.

I like the part at 30:32 so much. The game wanted you to feel like nate. You genuinely had a blast almost getting killed and you completely forgot elena

This game is so good, thanks for a great analysis of it! Next, I'd love to see you do InFamous. Doing Second Son first allows you to enjoy similar graphical fidelity to this game and it was a kinda new beginning (that went nowhere unfortunately) for the franchise.

“What really eats my ass” and “ damn you Helldivers 2” in the same vid is crazy 😅 PLEASE do the metal gear solid series! You will LOVE hideo Kojima storytelling

I also love the TINY detail that young Sam wore THEE Naughty Dog colors/shirt
