Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End (dunkview)

00:00:00.030do you know that I video game donkey the

00:00:02.879smartest man in the entire world who has

00:00:05.580never once been wrong do you know that

00:00:08.550even I am wrong sometimes when I first

00:00:11.309reviewed Last of Us I was underwhelmed

00:00:13.650by the lack of crazy-ass set pieces and

00:00:16.289pretty much wrote the story off of some

00:00:18.480generic zombie [ __ ] but when I

00:00:20.880revisited the game a couple years later

00:00:22.949I completely turned around I thought it

00:00:24.960was incredible on my second playthrough

00:00:27.000I could really appreciate how consistent

00:00:29.490and honestly these characters were

00:00:31.500written it tried it out those short

00:00:33.480bursts of wildering perfection for a

00:00:36.329more consistent complete experience it

00:00:39.270also in its wisdom completely ditched

00:00:42.239the climbing mechanic from uncharted

00:00:43.920don't get me wrong these are all good

00:00:46.680games but the climbing is so goddamn

00:00:49.440boring what should be a minor feature is

00:00:51.899actually a prominent chunk of each game

00:00:54.480it's a cutscene of a dude climbing it

00:00:57.000doesn't really feel like you're playing

00:00:58.710when you get to these parts there's no

00:01:00.629margin for error

00:01:01.770there's no way you can really lose

00:01:03.359Uncharted 4 does however make a big

00:01:06.270breakthrough with the addition of the

00:01:08.130crap I'm not getting put a goddamn

00:01:15.119but even with the awesome sliding and

00:01:17.969hook mechanics uncharted force still

00:01:20.219feels like a fake platform there's even

00:01:22.979a moment where dude bust out a ps1 and

00:01:25.229starts playing a Crash Bandicoot a game

00:01:27.570from 1996 that understood this better

00:01:29.970you have to jump at the right time you

00:01:31.979have to land on stuff it's actually hard

00:01:34.590as [ __ ] because it's a 3d platformer

00:01:36.810that you play with a d-pad what the [ __ ]

00:01:39.299what really sucks is when that feeling

00:01:41.610of inconsequence starts to take ahold of

00:01:44.369the story for the first two thirds of

00:01:46.259the game I was completely drawn in

00:01:48.479nathan drake is descending down this

00:01:50.520tunnel of bad decision-making largely

00:01:52.979influenced by a shady older brother he

00:01:55.619recklessly puts his life and his

00:01:57.599marriage in danger as the game takes its

00:02:00.000time setting all the pieces and building

00:02:02.459this ominous vibe under the surface

00:02:04.530until you reach that point where you

00:02:06.119think it's going to erupt and

00:02:07.349everything's gonna go to hell instead

00:02:09.709everything starts resolving itself by

00:02:12.329magic I feel like I missed a couple

00:02:14.400chapters in there one second everything

00:02:16.650is [ __ ]

00:02:17.579then Boop oh never mind us I mean I'm

00:02:20.549not against happy endings but you have

00:02:22.140to earn that [ __ ] you can't have your

00:02:24.030main guy be a complete [ __ ] that

00:02:26.340everyone who loves him and then Hey look

00:02:28.319at that everything works out you're a

00:02:29.819millionaire you beat the game what the

00:02:31.680[ __ ] kind of message is that they're

00:02:33.900already working on some DLC chapters

00:02:36.150that will probably explain that charming

00:02:38.370gap in the middle but as of now what the

00:02:41.430[ __ ]

00:02:42.209story aside Naughty Dog is once again

00:02:45.060raised the bar for graphics and

00:02:47.040animation this game looks incredible

00:02:49.980they've also dramatically improved upon

00:02:52.350the shooting in combat crushing

00:02:54.480difficulty is available right off the

00:02:56.340bat instead of having to unlock it I do

00:02:58.410suggest you play it on the hardest

00:03:00.180difficulty where you'll have to go in

00:03:02.100and out of stealth to defeat enemies bad

00:03:04.739guys can now lose track of you mid

00:03:07.109firefight which gives uncharted for

00:03:09.150these unique hide-and-seek styles there

00:03:11.660[ __ ]

00:03:17.390this might not be the system southern

00:03:20.150tricks are hyping it up to be but it's

00:03:22.220definitely a must-have title for ps4

00:03:24.620owners the stories initial promise of a

00:03:27.530Messier more adult take on uncharted

00:03:29.540doesn't quite deliver but the gunplay

00:03:32.330the adventure and the atmosphere are all

00:03:34.940there I give uncharted a strong three

00:03:37.490out of five

00:03:38.270but the upcoming DLC chapters could

00:03:40.730probably kick this up to a four for me

00:03:44.440depending on how much they let you use

00:03:46.550the grapple hook
