10 Things An Xbox Player Learned Playing Uncharted For The First Time

9. The Dialogue Is Top-Notch

If there's anything indisputable about Uncharted, it's that Naughty Dog's writers know how to script convincing characters. This is in spite of Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves and Drake's Deception all deal with the stupendous and supernatural, so keeping these characters grounded and, above all else, believable is no small task. None of them sound generic in the slightest - a fact owed to the fantastic and comedic repartee the series' leads have onscreen.

The banterous dialogue shared between Nate and Sully is always a constant source of entertainment throughout the trilogy, but Drake's romance with Elena in particular is masterfully handled. Video games have a tendency to manufacture clichéd, often synthetic relationships in their storylines, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that Nathan Drake and Elena Fischer posses chemistry in spades. Naughty Dog depict a conceivable if not flawed relationship over the course of their three games, and when the two finally get their happy ending, it's an incredibly rewarding moment.

Nolan North, Richard MacGonagle and Emily Rose are all equally fantastic in their respective roles too, and with their talents at the helm of the series, its long time following instantly becomes understandable.
