You laid this out really well Kaldini. Luke Stephen's soul-less Uncharted 4 video gets over a million views...let's hope this gets at least 1% of that!

This game is the Pirate of the Caribbean at worlds End
Of gaming… in terms of looking better than most things today

Naughty Dog is the best to ever do it

Oh my god I cant believe its been almost a decade. This was a mind blowing experience for my 16 year old brain back then. Graphics still look great somehow.

I still haven’t played it yet and plan too so I’ll have to save this video for later. With that being said, your channel has got to blow up soon with one of these videos. Especially if you upload more this year. You’ve got many high quality videos just waiting for the right community to find them.

Im honestly surprised you pumped out this video alongside DOTO in such a short time! Hopefully you won't disappear for a year now haha
Great video as always!!!

So funny you mention Sam appearing villainous when the original pitch and story for Uncharted 4 by Amy Hennig did in fact have Sam written as a villain! 😭

Great game. I miss Nathan Drake. One of my favorite video game protagonists of all time.

Side note: anyone else think Troy Baker playing Sam sounds a lot like Jason in the trailer for GTA VI? I know Troy Baker said it wasn't him but he wouldn't tell us it was him even if it was bc of NDAs. Somthin to think about.

this was really well put together and went in depth on stuff I didn't fully pay attention. as someone who got the game platinum, I didnt read any of the notes found through out the game so im glad you covered them ❤ despite some flaws, I really loved uncharted 4 and the ending makes me sad but happy it ends on a high note. I honestly hope they dont bring back uncharted and leave these characters be, idk if more spin offs will be a option in the future but who knows. I just dont want them to mess up what's already been laid out to rest

57:28 I feel like Sam comes across as unlikable because he is who Nate would be if he didn’t care about others. Which came first with Sully, then with Elena.

Sam only cared about himself, and had fun with Nate when it was convenient. He only had the treasure hunt.

Nate had all of the pieces, he just wasn’t putting them all together. He had found family, love, and something to be passionate about. He lost his love to pursue his passion (twice). Once he got that love back, he threw away his passion. By going through this adventure with Sam, he learned how to put it all together.

By the end, they had both grown as men.

Just ftr in Amy Hennig's original script for Uncharted 4, Sam was supposed to be the villain so your suspicions are correct, but it was changed quite quickly when Neil Druckmann took over.
