• 0:01
  Thank you for coming back from our replay reviews.
• 0:03
  My name is Leah. And my name is Kathy. We are
• 0:06
  two friends who are here to replay, review, and
• 0:08
  analyze your favorite video games. And since
• 0:11
  Kathy has never seen the games before, it helps
• 0:13
  me view them through her fresh eyes, almost like
• 0:15
  I'm discovering them again for the first time.
• 0:17
  We hope it will be a similar experience for you.
• 0:26
  I mean, what's left to say? Not much. Well, first
• 0:33
  of all, welcome to the Uncharted summary. We
• 0:36
  have some burning questions, but we couldn't
• 0:38
  find any answers. In fact, all I found for my
• 0:41
  burning question, which is who closed the artifact,
• 0:43
  all I found in my search is another question,
• 0:46
  which was who set the traps, which was a fair
• 0:50
  question. They used pieces of their plane to
• 0:54
  build it, so obviously it's someone new. yeah
• 0:56
  anyway another burning question maybe navarro
• 0:59
  because he seems to know about everything i feel
• 1:01
  like that's better speculation than my burning
• 1:05
  question which was who was inside the treasure
• 1:08
  like the statue and i couldn't find an answer
• 1:12
  i think it goes into another game because maybe
• 1:15
  i just wasn't using the right keywords so it's
• 1:17
  searching it it talked about game four and it
• 1:20
  was bouncing between different games anyways
• 1:22
  i just got too confused and i decided to not
• 1:26
  go too far into my research to not spoil things
• 1:28
  yeah our questions just led to more questions
• 1:33
  no answers and maybe they're not that big of
• 1:36
  a deal just a little bit of you know they didn't
• 1:38
  explain it should we continue on to topic two
• 1:42
  it's overall opinion about the game i think we
• 1:45
  kind of know mine pretty well at this point wasn't
• 1:50
  thrilled with the gameplay i like the story i
• 1:52
  have no issues with it Sure, they could have
• 1:54
  done things a little better here and there. But
• 1:56
  honestly, I liked it. So I get the benefit by
• 2:01
  not needing to play and focusing on just watching.
• 2:03
  And we did do a 400th episode where I did a jet
• 2:09
  ski thing. And I understand it's not really fun.
• 2:11
  It's very frustrating. But if you focus on just
• 2:13
  the storyline, I like how nostalgic it feels.
• 2:16
  It's like your typical early 2000s adventure
• 2:19
  movie, like Journey to the Earth. It's lighthearted.
• 2:22
  It's straightforward. I like the storyline. But
• 2:26
  I also don't know if this is a series that we
• 2:29
  want to continue going on for a podcast or just
• 2:32
  for in general playing this game. I have a feeling
• 2:35
  that the rest of the games are just going to
• 2:37
  be a repeat of this game just because of how
• 2:39
  straightforward the plot is. All I know is that
• 2:43
  the fourth one is pretty acclaimed. Okay. So
• 2:46
  I don't know. I was going to say something. Oh.
• 2:50
  When you were doing the jet ski section is when
• 2:54
  I learned you don't have to aim to shoot in that
• 2:56
  section. You were just blasting and hitting targets.
• 3:01
  I'm like, you're not even moving the joystick.
• 3:03
  That's because I struggled with aiming and driving
• 3:06
  and I just smashed all the buttons. I would have
• 3:10
  liked to know that game that I didn't have to
• 3:12
  actually aim to fire in that section. Well, I
• 3:17
  think that's kind of it. I mean, any other closing
• 3:19
  thoughts on this game for you? I kind of like
• 3:21
  how cutesy it kind of is without it being overly
• 3:24
  cute. It's comforting. It's comforting. I think
• 3:27
  that's what the word I'm looking for. It's a
• 3:28
  very comforting game and it's somewhat nostalgic.
• 3:31
  It has that vibe to it. All right. KFC? Yes.
• 3:37
  It's going to be very obvious and very easy,
• 3:40
  but I'll start with Steel Biscuits. There's a
• 3:43
  lot that could be thrown in there, but... I don't
• 3:46
  know if you want to take a stab at who I think
• 3:48
  my KFC is. Stale biscuit. I honestly weirdly
• 3:56
  want to say Sully. Oh, I could see that. For
• 4:00
  me, I chose Navarro just because we barely know
• 4:04
  anything about him. And last minute, he's like,
• 4:06
  haha, I'm your villain. He's just there in the
• 4:09
  background. He's just stale. I think this is
• 4:12
  what I have to disagree with you on. I was going
• 4:15
  to say it was between Eddie and Sully. I could
• 4:17
  see Eddie. Yeah, I see your logic. I wouldn't
• 4:21
  pick him just because he ends up being the villain,
• 4:25
  you know? Yeah, but Eddie seems to have more
• 4:28
  scenes than Roman or Navarro. Or more backstory,
• 4:32
  at least. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think
• 4:37
  they're all kind of... Stale. Yeah, I think they
• 4:39
  all have kind of a claim to that. I'm fine with
• 4:43
  that. Okay, well, moving on. Post -game KFC.
• 4:47
  I think you know who it is. It has to be Nathan,
• 4:51
  right? What? What about Yelena? Oh, I thought
• 4:55
  we were on KS. Oh, no, KFC. Then, yeah, I would
• 4:59
  have said Yelena. I don't know if it's my mouth
• 5:01
  or your ears. Always. So, yeah, it is Yelena.
• 5:07
  She's smart, she's witty, she's not annoying,
• 5:10
  which is apparently very difficult for female
• 5:12
  game characters. So she wins post -game KFC.
• 5:16
  Even just one of the most realistic characters,
• 5:18
  period, that we've seen. Besides the battery
• 5:22
  thing. Yeah, come on. What was that? Moving on.
• 5:27
  Post -game KS, Kentucky Scorcher. There really
• 5:31
  is no one to pick besides Nate, so... Yep, it's
• 5:35
  Nate. I mean, the shoulder holster really sold
• 5:38
  it. Sorry, I was just reading your notes. What?
• 5:44
  I was, like, reading exactly what you just said
• 5:46
  out loud. It was funny. Okay, well, what you
• 5:50
  said back in April is, of course, first row,
• 5:54
  middle dude. That's Nathan. It's the hair, the
• 5:57
  rolled up long sleeves, and the shoulder holsters
• 5:59
  that does it for me. Oh, it's word for word.
• 6:02
  However, if I was into the bad boy type of dude,
• 6:05
  it would maybe be first row third guy. That's
• 6:07
  Navarro. But for my blind kiss, it's definitely
• 6:10
  first row middle guy, Nathan. And then, of course,
• 6:13
  you have to put your reference in there. Especially
• 6:15
  since he reminds me of Tom Hiddleston in Kong
• 6:18
  Skull Island. It's just honestly any white male
• 6:21
  wearing a shoulder holster. I don't see it. It's
• 6:26
  just the t -shirt. Exactly. I don't know why.
• 6:30
  They don't even look the same. Anyways. Yeah,
• 6:35
  I mean, I agree with you on all counts. Except
• 6:38
  Stale Biscuit, which we got into already. So
• 6:40
  I have nothing to add. Okay. There's three stats.
• 6:45
  I'll tell you. Two of them, the game tracked
• 6:47
  for me. One of them, I tracked myself. Stats?
• 6:51
  I think it's people killed. Or, like, headshots.
• 6:55
  Which one? Just kidding! Both of them! Really?
• 7:00
  It tracked it separately? Yeah. Oh, nice. Stat
• 7:03
  one was total enemies killed. Do you want to
• 7:06
  guess? 286. No. Higher? Yeah. Could it be like
• 7:14
  800? I'll do 860. 1 ,000. What? 115 enemies killed.
• 7:22
  God, Leah. We've been complaining about the number
• 7:25
  of people on this island, and I think we were
• 7:26
  right. Yeah. How's there so many people? Well,
• 7:30
  knowing how many people I killed, do you want
• 7:32
  to guess how many headshots total? So of that
• 7:35
  1 ,000 -something, I have confidence in you,
• 7:39
  so probably more than half. I don't know, 600?
• 7:43
  No. 800 -something? No. Okay, then you're probably
• 7:48
  doing bad. 200 -something, then. 425. Oh. Hey,
• 7:54
  you should be happy that I have such faith in
• 7:57
  you for getting headshots. Yeah, I think you
• 8:00
  forgot about the first half of the game. How
• 8:03
  bad I started out. That is kind of true. I remember
• 8:06
  by part three, you were just going all the headshots.
• 8:10
  Well, I started to not care. When you don't care,
• 8:12
  you do a lot better. That is true. Okay, do you
• 8:16
  want to guess what my stat was that I tracked?
• 8:21
  You're not going to get it. Something verbal,
• 8:24
  or is it an action? It's just counting a thing,
• 8:29
  but it's not something we've done before. It's
• 8:31
  unique to this game. Ooh. How many boats? No.
• 8:40
  Let me think. Hint. Give me a hint. I don't know
• 8:46
  how to guess. I mean, you're not going to guess
• 8:48
  it. Okay. I'll just give you a good hint. Enemy.
• 8:50
  How many enemies were, like, bald? I don't know.
• 8:54
  Close. Yellow bandana eyepatch man. What is that?
• 9:00
  I'll show you. He was everywhere. This is him.
• 9:06
  Well, it has to be enough for you to notice.
• 9:09
  I'd say 82. No. 42. I'll give you a hint. When
• 9:17
  I was counting them up, I discovered there were
• 9:20
  zero of him in the final two parts of the game.
• 9:23
  Okay. I'd say 24. 21. That's close. I hate that
• 9:30
  guy. Not to be confused with Blue Bandana Eyepatch
• 9:34
  Man or Yellow Headband Man. What? All these NPCs
• 9:39
  getting just copy and pasted. Well. That's a
• 9:44
  wrap for this game. It has charm. I won't be
• 9:50
  playing it again though. Scary Christmas next
