Why We Need Another Uncharted Game

Let me be transparent, I had no idea what the headline would look like before coming up with it. ReallyIt is all about. Since, let’s be real, I don’t know what else to say. You may recall the blockbuster franchise of gaming that everybody loves, and which has had a film adaptation. These should be made more often. This is a true “no-duh” situation. I’m not the first person to say they liked *good thing* and want another *good thing*. Maybe I should say something sensational. OK, I’ll be honest: Uncharted was an industry-changing series and a unique experience that spoke to me strongly. We deserved more.

Uncharted may not appeal to everybody, but that’s fair. Some people view the series as lowbrow pop art. It doesn’t take too long to find critiques calling Uncharted underrated if you do a Google search. Naughty Dog’s blockbuster action movie has its flaws, but that is fair. Gunplay gets repetitive. It is a little bit easier to climb because everything in the area has been painted one color. This makes it easy for you to know where you are going. The narratives have more glamour than Hollywood films. 

After that, we’ll move on to Uncharted’s utter dominance. The Uncharted game is basically a popcorn movie in an interactive format. This is why Uncharted games are so well-received. It is not easy to make a game that appeals to many people and operates at a high standard. This makes the series even more appealing. Uncharted doesn’t have to be defended. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. You’ll be surprised at what I think. 

Uncharted’s characters are what I love most. Fans will love any game that has a great story. Really Love is an enticing cast. Look at Mass Effect or Red Dead Redemption or Eidos-Montréal’s recent Guardians of the Galaxy, and you’ll discover the same thing. These narratives can seem very basic and repetitive if they are broken down into an ordered series of events. But, these games have one thing in common. Each game has a lot of interesting and well-rounded characters. We fall in love first with characters in video games. 

Uncharted is home to some of the most memorable characters in business. Sully, the cigar-chomping rebel with an adventurous past who I just want to be my father is Sully. Chloe Frazer was the strong-eyed, steely-eyed heroine with flexible values who is so captivating that she deserves her award Own spinoff adventure. Sam Drake, however, is an unworkable character. Three games passed without Nate ever mentioning his brother; this character shouldn’t have been out of place. Sam, a manipulative, lying thief, is even more shocking. We love Sam.  

Two of Uncharted’s most important characters, Nate and Elena, have yet to be discussed. Our Video Gameogeaphy podcastIn this episode, we discuss our love for these two characters and how it has influenced us. Elena is an uncharted TV reporter who meets us at the start of Uncharted. She’s involved in one of Nate’s Indiana Jonesesque adventures. Her appearance was typical of a week-end romance. Her relationship with Nate changed as the series developed. The two got married … and then separated. They were pulled back together by something. 

Uncharted’s perspective on Nate and Elena is something I appreciate. Naughty Dog was not afraid to confront the problems of marriage, and to show what it means to be committed to someone else. The majority of gaming romance stories are over once the main characters have gotten together. Rarely do we get to witness what happens after the first love. It takes effort and sacrifice to build a lasting relationship. But the love doesn’t need to stop. Actually, long-term commitment is more rewarding and fulfilling than young passions. While long-term relationships can be difficult, they are also beautiful. 

My goal is not to sound like an elderly man waving his finger at the camera and asking, “When will your kids get married?” Every situation is unique. That’s why I love Uncharted. This series is full of farfetched stories that have real humanity. Although it is based upon the tropes of Indiana Jones, and other serials about adventure, the author has created its own version and managed to make something real out of them.

That’s why I want another Uncharted game … well that and they’re fun.
