Similar to how a lot of people complained that they disagreed with Joel's decision at the end of The Last of Us and wish they had been given a choice, it's a situation where the player isn't meant to be allowed to shape the narrative. Lack of player agency shouldn't be a complaint when you're not meant to have any agency over the story in the first place. You aren't forging your own story, you're playing out Nate's story. With this complaint, you have to remember that Uncharted isn't an RPG. I think you're just supposed to go with the flow and jump to the conclusion that she either is so smart that she sluethed her way there or that Sully played dad figure and filled her in, trying to help both her and Nate. My assumption was that Sully had something to do with it, even if he didn't admit it. Anyway, it's possible, but again, nothing is ever said. My husband and I use them all the time, mostly because we lose track of our phones in our house and use the app to make sure that it's in our house, first, and then play a tone so that we can find it. And I don't mean she put an app on his phone without his knowledge, I mean that they maybe both have "Find My Friends" or "Find My Phone" on their phones. Maybe he used his credit card or other bank card and she opened a statement that was sent to their home, thereby seeing he has been spending money in various locals other than where he said he was going to be.Īlso, depending on the phone and phone carrier, you can use certain apps to locate people. For instance, he's staying at a hotel, so he must be paying for that somehow. First, she is a journalist, so I assume she would be pretty creative on deducing ways in which to figure out his location. They never explain that, at least I don't recall them ever saying how she figured it out. For all the sense this makes, the bad guy may as well capture Drake, fully explain his evil plan, and then leave the room while Drake is tied to a machine designed to kill him several moments later.įor a game with otherwise excellent storytelling, these two moments really stood out to me. Instead of the bad guy capturing your brother and his phone, not only do they hack your phone, but they TELL you that they hacked your phone. I even got a trophy for taking a picture of Sully, because I didn't want to take pictures of the clues.
I figured that he would end up caught, the bad guys would get his phone, and they'd be able to see everything you were texting.īecause of this, I REALLY didn't want to take those pictures. You already know he's in danger if he's found, but inexplicably, your character then decides to text him pictures of clues, and the game even has the player him or herself take the pictures.
What did feel bad is later in the game when you're separated from your brother, and you call him to ask him about a puzzle. I felt this way a little bit when Drake first lied to Elena about his trip, but because I didn't have control over the character in that scene, it didn't feel too bad. Did I miss something here?Ģ) If I'm the game character, and if I'm playing as the protagonist, it can take me out of things when my character does things that I would not. Instead, there's no explanation, and it just felt kind of lazy compared the the rest of the storytelling. When she finds your hotel the first time, the writers could have explained it by saying she called Sully and demanded to know what was really going on, because she talked to the guy at your work, and now knows that you were lying. Later in the game, she does it again when she rescues you after a bad fall, but at least with that they included a basic "I just followed the sound of gunfire" type line that sort of explains how that happened.
Unless I missed something, she comes across as some sort of all-knowing super being here, and it really took me out of the story. There were just two parts in the game that bothered me.ġ) How in the world did Elena not only figure out that you were lying to her, but also figure out your exact geographical location? All this when you were on the run from people who not only knew you were in the area, but would have sent a literal army to kill you, if they could find your hotel. The story was good, the ending was good, and the epilogue was great.
