My first Uncharted experience! ~ Part 1
Ойындар
Hello everyone! Welcome to my first-ever playthrough of the Uncharted Series. We are starting with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and making our way all the way to The Lost Legacy.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a 2007 action-adventure platform video game developed by Naughty Dog, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation 3. It is the first game in the Uncharted series. Combining action-adventure and platforming elements with a third-person perspective, the game charts the journey of protagonist Nathan Drake, supposed descendant of the explorer Sir Francis Drake, as he seeks the lost treasure of El Dorado, with the help of journalist Elena Fisher and mentor Victor Sullivan.

Same, but in my case it's my dad. this is the only game when my dad would watch me play. I miss him so much as well.
i managed to get both my grandparents into gaming through naughty dog games. my grandad fell in love with uncharted and was luckily enough to play uncharted 4 before he passed whilst my grandma cannot stop playing tlou.

Aye! I love that you have this memory with you mom! My mom's game was Spyro. We used to play it together all time. Thinking about getting her the Spyro Reignited Collection soon.
Your patreon made the right call! And so did you with the decision to start from the first game. One of the only game series that truly gets better with each game (okay maybe not Uncharted 3 but it’s debatable). You’ll definitely appreciate how far ND came in design and refinement of the games’ systems, and how many of them were incorporated into TLOU, and especially TLOU2. Enjoy the ride!
I remember the first time I played this game: back in 2009, towards the end of middle school and the beginning of summer, I was 14 and I was at a friend's house who owned a PS3, and as a big fan of action-adventure stories like Indiana Jones I remember being blown away by the graphics, the plot and the soundtrack of this game. It was just amazing.
I love all of your content Cynthetic. from the first day I subscribed to now, its been one hell of a journey!

Love all of these. To think I was just scrolling on twitter came across your reactions and boom months later still watching them
I’m so here for this! You’ll love it.
Sir Francis Drake was sort of a pirate. Queen Elizabeth I gave Francis Drake a letter of marque. It was a government license that authorized a private person, known as a privateer or corsair, to attack and capture vessels of a nation at war with the issuer. So the queen gave Drake permission to attack enemy merchant ships without the threat of punishment. It was a common practice at the time. During the war, Drake also raided Spanish ports and plundered cities along the South American coast. Drake's privateering led the Spanish to brand him a pirate, known to them as El Draque ("The Dragon" in old Spanish).
Here from Uncharted 2 finale, I always wanted to see how your playthrough began! 😆
I love the action and the dialogue in all these. It's watching my favorite movies. Experiencing this with you is awesome to listen to you and see your reaction. 🤩
This is already proving to be a really fun playthrough, and I'm glad to see that you appear to be enjoying the experience! Thank you for sharing your playthrough so! ^_^ Indeed, it's rare that I enjoy let's plays of this series of games--simply because, for some reason, they seldom hold my attention. But conversely, this playthough I'm definitely finding engaging! (Enough that I finished the video when I intended to watch only part!) ^_^ Anyway, I'm enthused to see more! ^_^
Finally! Was waiting for this one! 🎉
Well worth going back to the first game. The characters in this series are so endearing.
Definitely ready to watch your playthrough of this series.
One of my absolute favorite game series. I try to replay them all once a year or so
One of the best video game sagas I've ever played Uncharted 😊👌
So excited for this! Uncharted is my favorite franchise! Drakes fortune is a good story, but the controls suck. If you hate the controls for this game, just know there is a dramatic improvement by part 2.

My favorite franchise. I never in my life played a "Tomb Raider game until 2013 😂 . I'am watching all of these. I played "Uncharted 2 first before I played any of the others. Watching all advertisements from "Subway and marketing. These was the best games to me at the time. And play all these like a pro. Keeping my distance using automatics and I use pistols ever unless I had too. I mostly don't even get hit.
Can't wait to see you play these. The 2nd one is the best. The first one is just a tease :)
I played uncharted 2 before 1 and it blew me away one of the best games out there.
Great fun Cyn, thank you
This is my all-time favorite video game. It's my favorite Uncharted game too even with its flaws in today's age. This game is why I got a PS3 back in 2008 and I hope you enjoyed the series!

Oh you chose a masterpiece series here! I can tell you now, if you don’t know anything about the other games, this series will become one of your fav series of all time. Each game gets better and better, this one admittedly has a lot of repetitive gun fights but they fix this in later games. The adventure, the humour, the relationships between these wonderful characters will truly fill a spot in your heart forever like it has mine. Thank you for gracing this series ❤️

Yeah, I was warned that gameplay might get repetitive after a while. Luckily I've had other games to focus on as well so it wasn't too bad. I actually ended up really enjoying the combat
I view Uncharted 1 as the "intro" or "beta" for the franchise. Like it's an introduction to Nate and the gang, and a preview for the rest of the series and why it was so groundbreaking in terms of blending video games with movies. Uncharted 1 has a lot of flaws, but it also showed tremendous potential. The second game is where the franchise REALLY takes off, and where the devs took what they started with, listened to the feedback they got, and then improved literally everything in every way, and added stuff never seen before in any video game. Still, U1 is a lot of cheesy, uncomplicated fun as long as you take it not too seriously and if you don't get bothered by the amount of gunfights :D
@Cynthetic

U1 is very campy! And I love campy.
The fact this came out in 2007. Man I feel old, even older with Tomb Raider coming out in 1996!
I can't wait to watch you play Uncharted 4, you'll love it. In my opinion, it's the best one
You're doing Spider-Man AND Uncharted playthroughs? I'm in! Got a bit of a backlog before actually watching this one, but I'm in!
The moment you went for the hardest difficulty I had to subscribe 😅, I usually just go with normal difficulty so this should be interesting
This is why you should start from the beginning of any series of a franchise so by the time you get to the end you wouldn't have any questions. For example it doesn't make any since whatsoever to play God Of War Ragnarok before you play God Of War for the first time I don't care what anybody say. In conclusion I'm happy to see you are about to embark on this wonderful journey even though you have already started with Uncharted 4. However I will not watch that particular video until I finish watching you play Uncharted 1 through 3. With that being said I'm ready to watch you enjoy this entire series and I hope you will love it as much as I did and always will.
Crash Bandicoot was my way into Naughty Dog as a developer back when I was but a lad in the late 90’s, but the Uncharted games are the ones that hold a special place in my heart. I didn’t have a PS3 when they came out (they were too expensive for a university student’s budget, so it as a one of excursion to Xbox for me), but when I got my PS4 I finally played them all and loved them. As it coincided with a very happy time in my life, the uncharted games have come to mean a lot to me. As you’ve enjoyed the Tomb Raider games I’m sure you’ll love these too. They share similar DNA, but are also unique.

That's so cool! I never played Crash on console, but I have vague memories of playing Crash on an arcade machine as a kid? I should really pick up the remastered collection sometime. Totally feel you on the college bit as well. So many modern classics came out while I was in university and I just didn't have time for it. I am really happy to hear how much you enjoyed Uncharted though! I've quickly come to love Nathan as much as I do Lara.
francis drake was an explorer that worked for queen elizabeth of england...he was SUPPPOSED to be one of many in charge of keeping secrets and bringing back great things to the british empire. however the Uncharted version implies he disobeyed those orders.
Finally being able to watch this series.
Just a heads up, this first game might be a little bit of a struggle to get through, just because it's the first game in the series and wasn't as refined as it's predecessors. Also, YES always start a series from the first game lol! You'll have so much more of a reward at the end of 4!
I've played uncharted since the PS3 days, such a good series
OMG I do the exact same thing with the difficulty in games. It doesn't matter what game I play, I always choose the hardest difficulty because it's more fun and entertaining. Do I rage and have a mental breakdown? Yes, I do. But I think that's the cool part of it tho😂😁😎 By the way, Uncharted is my favorite game series of all time, and the fact you played it on Crushing difficulty just makes me happy❤️ Not many KZread gamers play games on the hardest difficulty because they don't wanna handle it😂
I love these games. You mostly gotta have patience and not shoot from to for away. Basically becoming a pro at taking cover and shooting from behind objects and walls. I feel like a good "Call of Duty campaigns player would pick this quickly for someone who hasn't played these out there.

Thank you! Newer games are absolute more adaptable then older games. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on Lethal right now and it's honestly really fun. Older games though?

LET’S GOOOO. The greatest cinematic video games of all time. These games are what started the modern trend of making games feel more like movies. Uncharted 1 is the most dated by far, but once you get to Uncharted 2 just buckle in.

When she chose Crushing difficulty I was shaking my head. I guess there are some people that choose the hardest difficulty the first time they play a game, but that's not me. Chapter 4 will be the real test. If you can make it through that chapter (especially the Blue Room) on Crushing you can probably get through the rest of the game. Can't wait to see if she succeeds or if she decides to reduce the difficulty level.

The second I saw you were to play the greatest franchise ever period I subscribed. So don’t let me down! Guess what ? You won’t! My advice to you is to not stray to far away from companions to get dialogue.

Additional people that suggest to play uncharted 4 AS A STAND ALONE will never make any Christmas card list in fact I would disown them as they are not fans of the game and don’t care for backstory and character development. Next time you come to me for advice🙃
One of my favorite franchises, on a side note, Nathan & Elena were married long before part 4
oh uncharted!! i was SO hoping you would play this series after tomb raider! uncharted 4 is very very good but it's way better with knowledge of the other games
This would make a great book series
lol I always appreciate Cynthetic's anti-platforming stance. I generally found Uncharted's platforming to be OK, although as Cynthetic says, it does show some age. The other thing that kinda shows its age is not being able to run over ammo to pick it up. You have to press a button, which feels kinda cumbersome these days. I never played the original Uncharted, so don't know how it compares to the remaster version from the Nathan Drake Collection, but by and large it's hard to complain at how the game plays. A bit of age ain't the worst thing in the world.
Yay, a new Uncharted playthrough to follow 😁 If you keep playing on crushing, I wish you luck, I struggle in some parts of these games, on normal! But then again, I bet you're a better player than me 🤭 And I hope you'll play Lost Legacy when you're done with the first four. Sure, while you certainly can play Uncharted 4 as a stand alone game, I wouldn't recommend anyone to do so, since you miss so much lore, and you miss out on the three awesome games that came before it. Especially the first game has aged quite a bit, but it's still worth playing. When I grew up, I played both Tomb Raider and Uncharted, and I can't say I enjoy one more than the other, both franchises are very good in their own ways. Even though I liked the TR reboots as games, I didn't really care for the direction they took Lara, maybe they should have renamed her, and the games, to make a whole new franchise, because she doesn't really feel like Lara Croft the Tomb Raider anymore. And don't think I don't see you there on the shelf, uncle Urdnot Wrex 😆 And as a big fan of the Uncharted games, I got about 10 minutes into the movie before I turned it off.
I absolutely love this franchise.!! I can't wait for more videos.! 🫡🫡🫡🫡
Since you already know about Sam, Nate's older brother, he wasn't thought of as a character until the fourth game. There's a canon reason for why he wasn't mentioned, but I can't reveal it just yet. Also, did you happen to recognize Elena's voice? She's voiced by the same actress who voiced Lady Sif in Ragnarok, Emily Rose.
The Unchartered games are fantastic!

UNCHARTED! My fave game series. All started with me buying a PS3 late 2008 cos LittleBigPlanet looked awesome fun (and it was) and my PS3 came with three games. GTAIV (which I didn't care for other than some online shenanigans), Assassins Creed (was ok but didn't click) and this game I never heard of called Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. Which ended up being a hugely enjoyable adventure and had me anticipating Uncharted 2 and then 3 and then 4 and Lost Legacy. Each one an amazing journey with great action fun stories and genuinely likable and well acted characters to grow super attached too. Also Uncharted 4 / Lost Legacy originally came out in 2016/17 and yet are still among the absolute most beautiful games on the market. And I mean the PS4 originals, not just the PS5 remasters. :O While the first Uncharted is a lil less ambitious and a lil more janky than the later games it is still a hugely enjoyable time. Hope you have fun with these! I sure as heck did and so did many other people. :D
