Today’s game is Uncharted 4. I was playing this again, partly because I was tinkering with Proton. But I also had really wanted to finish it (for like the 4th time). It got me thinking though. This is like one of the earliest games I equate to do these screenshots. The other ones I think would be Fallout New Vegas and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. Honestly they’ve kind of cemented themself as some nostalgic games for me because of that. At least, if you can even be nostalgic for something 2 years ago.

Anyways. I was doing the car driving segment in Madagascar. I like this segment because it’s a nice change of pace from all the climbing and jumping and fighting. Instead you’re doing climbing and jumping in a car, and momentarily getting out to fight.

During the car chase I got this amusing bug I’d never seen before when I crashed into a cart. I guess the 4x4 didn’t like that because it flung itself backwards into the sky. It was funny to see. Eventually though it wasn’t coming down. So I had to restart the chase.

Anyways. You know another thing I like about this game? The journal. I’m not really a fan of quest menus. They’re cool and I don’t think they make a game bad. But I adore diegetic design like this where you get your bearings through a journal. This game honestly inspired me to start journaling myself. I even bought a little inkless printer to print out my own photos for big events and stuff.

I made it through the caves before stopping. It’s always a little saddening seeing how fast this game goes. Next I’ll do Lost Legacy. But I will be sad to see Nathan Drake go again. Chloe is cool but no one will ever compare to Nathan for me.
