Hi all! This is my first blog post on N4G. I’m not the usual blog poster or internet article-writer wannabe that floods forums and blogs alike with nonsense and foul mouth. But this time... its different!! ;)
If you read the title you know what I’m gonna talk about, and for those you didn’t read the title, this is about the review on Uncharted 2 from Gametrailers. I still can’t believe what I saw in that review! I feel they focused more on telling its predecessor and successor flaws than highlighting its strong points. But still, this is not the subject I’m here to rant about. I’m here to rant about the SPOILERS that review showed!
If you didn’t watch the review or don’t want to have the game’s plot (Bruce Willis "6th Sense" and Beyonce Knowles "Obsessed") ruined for you, please STOP READING IMEDIATLY!!!
First, from the review we learned that a friend of Nathan’s asks him for company in search for a treasure of some kind. Also, Helena makes a comeback with her cameraman. And a love triangle is bound to happen with a new female character that belongs to a faction in the game.
That’s what we learn from the first minutes in the review. All things are set up to be served as a good plot full of twists and turns! And then... the last minutes of the review spoils everything I listed above...
Nathan’s friend betrays him and kills Helena’s cameraman. The new female character betrays her faction in order to save Nathan in a tight situation. Proving that whatever situation you see her plotting against Nathan will be dissolved by her turning to the good guys later in the game. There’s also an enemy that will prove to be the final villain in the game. I don’t know its name but Gametrailers surely highlighted him by putting him in the sociopath field and such. Other than that, Gametrailers review showed a lot of footage where Nathan is in difficult situations and how he comes out of them. These might have been showed with no problems at all if they only cut the parts where the characters escape them. There was really no point is showing them besides ruining the story for anxious fans waiting for the game’s release. I hate to play a game knowing that some guy is gonna kill some other guy later in the plot. I know its part of story and sometimes it might be obvious where its going to lead to but please… don’t ruin that for me! I wanna be surprised! I wanna say: "Wow! Never saw that coming!" or when it’s obvious: "I saw that miles away!" But still, let it be my thoughts! Let it be my experience! Don’t ruin it for me, ok?!
If you ever saw the 6th sense and knew the guy was dead from the beginning, wouldn’t it ruin the movie?! Sure it would! Recently, I saw Beyonce Knowles "Obsessed" and the trailer actually gives away the finaly! HOLY ****!!! She dies in the end?! I could have saw that coming miles away but the trailer gave it away so easily that I was just watching the movie with no enjoyment at all... It kills the experience entirely.
I’m sure the game still holds some plot surprises and that Gametrailers didn’t gave away all of them but still its inadmissible!!! I love Gametrailers as a one-stop-sees-all videogame-related-videos but they crossed the line here. They gave away so many key points in the game that could of enhanced the players experience while playing it. It’s a shame really! I don’t wanna sound like a fanboy but I’m actually beginning to thinks that Gametrailers is biased towards the PS3. After the GRID incident I though to never see something likes this again for the PS3. Guess I was wrong...
PS: Sorry about the typos.
See ya all.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
biase come on if they put a 7 are you telling me that you wouldnt buy the game. they gave the game a 9.3 out of 10 which is really high.
if you think they are biase than dont watch just boycott it
Why would I want to read a blog with typos of the video review of Uncharted, from gametrailers??
Well that's as far as I got...
Yeah Gametrailers has to really learn how to not add spoilers to their review videos.
You're very right. They shouldn't be spoiling the story line in a review. It's supposed to be an opinion of the game, not a story reveal.
It's also unfortunate that the first 5 commenters didn't even read what you said. Especially that first guy whose comment is laughably off the mark.
