Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – Part 2-4

Let’s enjoy this moment where our favorite treasure-hunting trio are united once more because once it’s over it’s back to the worst aspects of Uncharted 3.

As we move into this next section, it’s important to remember that back when Uncharted 3 was in development, Naughty Dog still had the design ethos that the story existed primarily as a way of bridging gameplay segments and setpieces together. The tale itself, while important to the presentation, was largely an afterthought. Despite this, the first two Uncharted games managed to create two well-written storylines that came together in the end, even if both of them had some flaws along the way.

Here, in Uncharted 3, those flaws will become more pronounced and obvious, more than they have already. The Talbot chase scene we’ll open with next time is just the start.
