I'm going down, follow if you want~~
Hello! I have a PS3! AND SO I AM USING IT. I went out and bought the first two Uncharted games because a couple people recommended them to me and because buying them together new cost less than if I'd bought the first one used, liked it, and gone back to buy the second one (also used). (... It wasn't much of a difference, but, hey. Whatever.) And also because they are made by Naughty Dog, and I know they've made some other stuff I've liked in the past, sooo. Good place to start, I suppose. (So basically that day was, AND THEN ND ATE MY WALLET, since I also preordered the Jak and Daxter Collection.)
... aka: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, chapters 1-5 (ie, ending at the start of chapter 6)
lalala waiting for the system to update blargh
Haha, woah, you can tell this was fairly early in the PS3's life. The people still look kinda awkward? (Ooooorrrr maybe Final Fantasy XIII spoiled me.) (… yeah, that- that's probably it, isn't it. oops.)
THEIR SUITS SAY "OTTSEL". EXCELLENT.
Oh god the camera is wrooooong why is the camera wrong. MENU. SAVE ME.
Okay, so inverted camera is go, but that hasn't made my aiming any better.
Nor my dodging, apparently. Mmm, delicious rocket to the face. Naughty Dog is very, very good at making games that see me dead within the first five minutes of playtime.
Ha! Made it that time! Though, was I supposed to destroy who-or-whatever had the rocket launcher, or just survive until backup arrived? Maybe UNNAMED BLONDE WOMAN killed 'em for me. Elena. Yeah, her. At least, I don't think they've said her name yet? (FFVII CROSSOVER? ELENA, DID SHIN-RA PUT YOU UP TO THIS? Wait, no, this wold surely be post-game. ... Explains why she's so good with a gun, anyway.)
God, that menu noise is loud. I should've adjusted that.
DAMN STRAIGHT SHE CAN HOLD HER OWN. She can hold her own better than I can! Whoo.
It is a sad testament to some of the games I've played that I am so appreciating how not-awkward the voice acting is.
GO, Elena, swim! YOU CAN STILL CATCH US. … Guys, really, we needed her. Now who's going to kill all the baddies?
Well, I can't speak for much else yet, but wow this is a really pretty game. LOOK AT THE PRETTY, PRETTY SCENERY EEEE.
JUNGLE. ???
Oh, good, a cutscene. That means I'm not actually lost yet.
Yeah, you'd know all about trying to find brides in brothels, wouldn't you, Sully. >_>;
Ha! Nice try, collapsing walls! I scaled COLOSSI (eventually), these ruins are nothing.
… Though I guess we'd better hope there's another exit to this cave.
… Some measly wooden cart is going to hold a stone door open? …. Yep.
Ah, now they agree with me about the backdoor!
You're not legitimately suggesting we start a bonfire in an enclosed space, are you?
YES, YOU ARE!
… whoops! That was a cliff!
…… aaand those things on the wall fall off, okay.
Hahaha I like how if you walk right to the edge of something, you'll just stand there on one foot, trying to keep your balance. It's okay to put the other foot down, you know!
Sully, "careful" is my middle name when it comes to massive death-pits. (As I am sure you are all well aware.)
… wait, no, no, that's backwards, "Careful" is never my middle name, especially when it comes to massive death-pits. That's right. Glad we cleared that up.
Really digging these skull-decorated chains.
WHY YOU MAKE ME GO IN WATER
NATE, MUST YOU THRASH SO? THE SHARKS WILL HEAR YOU
Silver Llama, all right!
Damn, though, if these are special treasures to find, I bet you anything I've already missed a few. Alas!
Also really digging all these conveniently placed barrels of blasting powder.
Hey, I bet you anything this walkway's going to collapse on me.
Oh, yep, there it goes.
And despite knowing it was coming, I still failed to save myself. XD Next time, don't be so ready to jump. XDD
… rather, next time be ready to jump, but not exactly when the beams start collapsing. Oy.
Sully, man, you're having such an easier time of this than I! Stop complaining!
No more gold statue. Boohoo. Aw, hey, though, it's okay! I've got a silver llama you can have! Surely that's worth something?
Oooor we can play it your way, Nate, fine, we'll follow the tracks. THIS CAN ONLY END BADLY, THOUGH, I WARN YOU NOW.
NO don't give him the journal! Now you've doomed us all, Nate, thanks.
Ugh, more water. I am just waiting for something to pop out of nowhere and eat me.
Hey-o, vine swinging! Woohooo!!
… yes, thank you, Sully, I think I'd already figured out that this is on hell of a drop.
Haha, that time I got the death-scream but landed safely in the water. (… last time I landed on the boat, and even though I was already halfway down the cliff, well… still a bit too high, apparently.)
A LOVELY CORPSE. What did he drop? Silver thingies? … Or, no, Spanish gold coins. Whatever.
More lovely corpses! This one's been clawed!
or ---? "or" what? OMINIOUS SILENCE!! THAT'S WHAT!
Ugh, Nate, you could move a little faster than this plodding walk.
And without setting off bombs, I mean. Surely it couldn't be that hard.
OH NO. THIS MAN HAS AN ACCENT. HE MUST BE EEEEEVIL.
DRAMA! EXPLOSIONS AND DRAMA!!
Oh, I was supposed to be running away, there. Haaaa. dead dead dead
That time I ran off the cliff rather than face anyone down!
HI ELENA. Stalking me like a proper TURK?
NO. NO, LEAVE HER WITH THE GUN. GOD DAMN IT, NATE.
Ah, she brought two. Well, that's all right, then, I guess. Just so long as I'm not the only one shooting. @_@
TEMPLE ESCAAAAPE.
And now a million guys in the jungle aaaugh! PUNCH THEM. STOP TRYING TO SHOOT AND JUST HIT THEM TO DEATH yes that went much better.
Oh, hey! A Jeep!
And a plane!
Aaaand anti-aircraft missiles!
PARACHUTE FAILURE AAAAAAA
… the amount of time this man spends in the water, you'd think at least some of the dirt on his shirt would've washed off.
Aaaugh a million people with guns aaaaaaugh.
I ran out of ammo the first time. THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT. Come on out, guys. I can crouch behind these trees aaaall day. Yeah, that's it.
NOW! FLYING KICK-A-POW! (Which was not what I was going to say, but which I remembered halfway through typing and so is what came out. Thank you, Sokka.)
AND NOW BACK TO THE TREES! Where we wait for our next victim to get within killing range. Oh, yes. I can be very patient when it suits me.
Sadly, though, that method won't work in this next area, where there is no tree line, and sniping from the wall only gets you so far.
… BANZAAAAAI
"Maaan," groused Jecca, having completely forgetten about the R3 button. "I really wish they'd thought to include a way to quickly turn the camera around."
WHAT. THAT WAS NOT FAIR! The handholds behind the waterfall collapsed and even though I was right in front of a big rock, he still went over the edge. LOSER. GET BACK UP HERE. I ACCEPT NO EXCUSES.
These are my own fault, though, hahaha. I really have no idea where I'm supposed to be going, here…
Oh. Off the bridge towards the death. NATURALLY.
DAMN IT SELF, STOP BEING SO JUMP HAPPY, IT JUST KEEPS GETTING YOU KILLED IN THESE SCENE EVENTS. Ha! And then almost again! Thank goodness one of us has rock-grabbing reflexes.
OH SURE SHOOT AT ME NOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ASSHOLES.
Oh, well, at least his flailing and screaming as he plummets over the edge to his death AGAIN is entertaining.
…. Ooooh, there's a barrel on the truck. Okay. That… yeah, no wonder I couldn't figure out what next. Derp.
Gargh. I leapt from the rock to the log just fine, but then I spotted something shining and had to go get it, and now I can't get the log again. How embarrassing.
I see…. CRASH STUFF! Ouch. But, hey! MIRACLE MAP. Whoooo. \o/
UGH. MORE OF YOU? FUCKING HELL I AM SICK OF PLAYING NICE. GET OVER HERE.
… I like how shooting from a distance is "playing nice." RAAAAA MELEE
Actually, that went surprisingly well.
AAAA UNEXPECTED QUICKTIME EVENT
How many chapters are in this game? I am already up to 5.
Man, this is really turning into a hell of a day, huh, Nate. (YES I KNOW IT'S BEEN MORE THAN A DAY GAME-TIME)
aaaaaa crumbling wall shit I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHY DID I STILL FALL
though aside from that, this was going well until after the second winder and around the corner. WHY WILL YOU NOT GRAB THE LEDGE, NATE? Whyyyy.
Do you really just like falling that much? CAREFUL, I MIGHT MISTAKE YOU FOR JAK.
… Your picking up a Precursor Orb just now doesn't help, by the way. XDD
Also, I've really not been mentioning how PRETTY the scenery here is aaaaa so pretty
Christ not MORE OF YOU aaaaaargh. HEY! BOZOS! Just 'cause I'm "surrounded" doesn't mean any of you are actually hitting me, did'ja notice?
… wait, you didn't seriously expect her to still be hanging in that parachute, did you? She managed to track you two imbeciles out into the jungle, I am pretty sure she knows how to wiggle out of a backpack.
She's being awesome, obviously. And she seems to be having better luck NOT running into every single enemy in the area than you.
Nate, does impersonating a guard (especially one that speaks a different language) ever work? AND SO NOW MORE FIGHTING.
So I guess this is the sewer level, then? …That turret is really annoying. Grar.
Aaaaugh water room!
Oh, no, ever mind, it's shallow. FULL OF ENEMIES. But shallow.
AAAA BUT THIS ROOM ISN'T SHALLOW AAAAUGH I AM GOING TO DIE abdhsjflkg
GOD, this totally irrational fear of video game water is DUMB.
AND NOW WE'VE MADE IT DEEPER!
FABULOUS.
.... *whew* made it!
Aaand chapter 6?
Meh, that's enough for tonight.
Oh shit rocket: 1
GRAVITY: 16
Evil Accent Man's Evil Minions: 4
JUNGLE BADDIES: 10
