That’s a different genre, a different suspension of disbelief and a different expectation. Nathan Drake having never mentioned his brother in 5 games is still more believable than a really half-assed story where the Nazis got to the moon and set up a colony up there. As human beings consuming a work, we give writers leeway until their credibility falls away. writers need leeway to suspend disbelief. You can criticise them in the sense that it’s not ideal or that those ideas are poorly implemented (like you suggest) but if that’s not the case then you’re treading on the whole point of storytelling: i.e. Even regarding the fact that it introduces unknown familial characters out of the blue. It makes a good case for the conception of this specific reality. Uncharted 4 does not implement a poor mythology of reality+half-truths. I think it’s vacuous to criticise a work for sticking to its genre staples and doing it well. I hate that functionality!Īnyway, the additional info was along these lines: Unfortunately, I hit backspace to delete a typo and it F******* deleted the post. Ugh, sorry, I tried to edit this a second time to tidy up the quote tags (I hate switching between different sites with different tag styles)…. Well enough to attract the attention and adulation of thousands of people… That’s the genre and I think it works really well. The fantastical aspects work as an anchor to which the mundane is explored. IMO, Naughty Dog have stuck to the genre staples throughout Uncharted 1, 2, the Golden Abyss and 4… so I think it’s a bit disingenuous to criticise a work for sticking to what it aims to achieve. We’re talking about a certain type of escapism, power fantasy and character development that is genre appropriate.
I don’t think you can complain about half-assed conspiracy theories and tidbits of historical (mis)information in this particular genre given that it’s built on Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, The Da Vinci Code and Big Trouble in Little China et al.
I won’t delve into it too much because those philosophies are huge spoilers and the game only just came out but let’s just say that the themes of the past are pertinent to Nate’s inner turmoil it’s good writing – full stop. In the same way that Campster says the mechanics of the game are designed to highlight and enhance the characterisation of the roles in the game, so too does the story. Secondly, the plot is both nonsensical but thematically and genre savvy. There are so many options and so many ways of opening up the game and gameplay to hardcore and more casual players that it is just insane (aka unheard of (-)hyperbole) that more AAA games do not provide what is essentially a basic level of choice and interaction for their consumers. In the same way that The Last Of Us was a seminal piece in triple A development, I feel that Uncharted 4 is another seminal piece in gaming for multiple reasons.įirst off is accessibility.
