Uncharted 2: One of the BEST Game Sequels EVER Made

You forgot to mention quite possibly the best line in gaming. Where Nate is climbing on the outside of the museum at the start and Flynn goes “there’s a guy above you, there’s a guy above you!” And after pulling the guy off the ledge to the large drop below he goes “there’s a guy below you, there’s a guy below you!”

I feel like a lot of Nate’s insane survivability can be summed up as “Built Different”

They actually had trouble programming that Train, because how these moving vehicle sequences usually work is that they make the background move while the vehicle stays in place so that it doesn't mess with all the AI tracking, Inverse Kinematics, etc. But the game director at the time really wanted that fuckin train to actually move through an environment and so they brute forced that train into submission until it worked. 😂

that ending scene was so cute and they actually kinda talked like real people, it's great

You’re too late Bricky, I’ve already made up my mind

The devs "explained" how Nate can survived those shot by saying he was lucky. The screen graying is not his health but his luck meaning the soldiers have stormtrooper aim until the screen goes gray enough.

7:25 "She is a genuine treat to have on screen" Shows a scene with Chloes buttocks on the screen Well played Bricky, well played.

32:06 And yet Nathan says one of the best lines in the game with Tenzin’s help. Tenzin is trying to throw a rope up to a very difficult area and Nathan goes “Good luck pal that’s almost imposs… oh you did it” when Tenzin nails it mid sentence.

I've been replaying the uncharted series once every couple of years and 2 is definitely one of the best parts. The first one is kind of a slog but its so gratifying getting to Uncharted 2 and seeing literally the game that you loved become better in every single way. Honestly, best way to appreciate the game is to play it right after the first one to see how much better its gotten

Fun fact the last boss fight can be cheezed by making him run through the burning amber nate shot in the cutscene. You trigger it by being opposite of Laz when you shoot the amber and gets him into his inrage cutscene. Man will litterally run at you screaming trying to mellee yo ass but instead he just dies in the fire.

25:45 Those are called pre-rendered and in-engine cutscenes, respectively, and their names say exactly what they are.

I’d call Uncharted 2 my favourite of the entire series. I binged the whole series after your Uncharted 1 video and man I just found myself constantly impressed with how fun Uncharted 2 was. The villains were fun, the set pieces were cool, the final boss was miles better than 1’s, and the combat is so massively improved. To sum up: Tenzin best husbando, and all my homies hate Harry.

I remember playing this god damn. The first mission was so dope for a starting mission. But the story was absolutely a fun one and I was glued in even as a younger kid! Gosh I can't believe how old I got lmao.

Honestly Bricky your journey from Warframe to now has been an amazing journey to be on, your weight loss journey is an amazing change, your work ethic and content are fantastic. You done good bro

uncharted 2 just has a special feel to it i remember playing it with one off my friends and we never got bored lol we played for 12 hours and finished easily one off the best times i ever had

My sister bought Uncharted 2 for me from a flea market. I didn't know anything about it back then, only games for PS3 I had was Tekken 6 and GTA IV. That was probably the best present I've gotten as I played the shit out of Uncharted 2, just kept replaying it dozens of times. It's honestly a masterpiece, almost perfectly paced for it's entire lenght and the set pieces are so good, Uncharted 3 and 4 copied the convoy chase from 2. I must've replayed just the "Desperate Times" chapter like 50 times just due to that climax of you fighting IN A COLLAPSING BUILDING. I also really miss the skins you could apply... Doughnut Drake is, as I'm concerned, as canon as the normal.

If I were to change something minor about the story, I’d change Nate’s motivation for going down to the tree of life. I would make it clear that Elena’s injuries are bad, fatal even. And the tree sap could heal her. This way Nate has both a personal motivation to stop Lazarevich as well as the whole “be a hero, save the world” thing.

I think Claudia Black is helped a lot by her own experience in actual film and TV. It's one thing to voice a character from behind a screen, it's another entirely to both look and act the part. I can think of a couple scenes in Stargate and Farscape where she had to act this way so her believability makes a lot of sense.

I'm about 14 minutes in. and there's one thing I wanted to note about the bullets and enemies not playing fair: When the game teaches you about shooting "blindfire" out of cover, your bullets ALSO magnetize to enemies as long as its in the reticle. Its not 100% accurate, but depending on the weapon it will happen. So the mechanic of the enemies doing it to you, is also attached to nathan. I think its just the way to fix the "Run and Gun" stuff they touted a lot back then. -Edit Just got to the blindfire part. Yeah, that's accurate. Just beat the game on Crushing myself a few years ago XD

"I don't think they can take 4 or 5 shots of 105" Had me dieing. I replayed it 20 times and shared just for that
