We’re close now to finding the next clue we need from the ruins, and once we do we’ll have a new destination in mind. And with it, we’ll reunite with another old friend, one who has been with us since the first adventure.
That was really rough combat sequence to go through before making it to Yemen. I’ve played this game multiple times, and I don’t remember having this much of an issue with it before, nor do I remember the vast number of grenades flying at me the way we experienced just now. And all of this just to witness the evil Brits perform some highly convoluted stage magic to make themselves seem like unstoppable badasses.
At least we got to see Elena again, and I like the direction they took with her and Nate’s relationship for this game. It’s pretty normal for people who went through traumatic experiences together to quickly bond over that, but realize once the threat has passed and said experience is over, that there was shockingly little else to hold that relationship together. While that seems to be the case here, there’s a lot that’s left unsaid and implied between them that adds to their dynamic for its absence.
For all the faults of Uncharted 3’s writing, and there are many, this is one of the strongest aspects of it. There’s good character work going on in these scenes that deserves to be shouted out.
