#The reason I call Rafe and Nadine antagonists instead of villains is because in all honesty neither of them are evil

[infriga]

I actually managed to beat Uncharted 4 on crushing, and I only had to use auto-aim for 2 sections! One was during the Shoreline ambush in chapter 18, and the other was during first fight in chapter 20, those fights are just so hard even on lower difficulties and I made poor choices when conserving ammo prior to those fights so I was very low on ammo for both of them. Even then I still died a lot with auto aim lol. I had managed to get the ps5 upgraded version of uncharted 4 due to a friend being willing to get it for me, so I hadn't unlocked the bonuses yet, meaning I couldn't use that to get more guns and ammo (I might go back to try and beat them with more ammo at some point). Still, even with those two little cheat moments, I feel like it basically counts lol. I wasn't sure I'd manage, since I'm not usually someone who plays games on harder difficulties than normal, but I've gotten a lot better at playing games in recent years so I've been playing more games on harder difficulties than I used to.

Also, Rafe and Nadine are easily the best antagonists in the series. I mean, the villains in the first 3 games aren't all that deep or memorable to begin with, especially in the first game (with the exception of dear Eddy Raja may he rest in pieces lol), but the 4th game antagonists also just have a lot of moments and character quirks that not only make them more memorable, but also make them feel more like distinct characters who have their own desires and lives that exist outside of Nathan's circle of influence, and outside of the main plot in general. Plus for once this wasn't a case of bad guys fucking with supernatural forces beyond their comprehension and threatening the safety of the world, forcing Nate to have to intervene to save everyone. It was just some rich guy who wanted to find a treasure to prove his own worth outside of his inherited wealth. Nathan was only forced to get involved because his brother was a big fat dingus.
