Yeah, that's understandable. People take away different things from these games, and I think that's what makes video games so fascinating to me, and largely what pushed me into a career in this industry! The interactive aspect of video games adds something to the experience that films and television aren't able to do.
As for Drake, it's been a while since I played UC3, but I definitely loved it, and enjoyed what they did with his arc in that game, but I also enjoyed what they did with his arc in 4. It didn't feel like a negation of that arc in 3, but a follow through of where that arc would take him a few more years down the line, after he had settled into the life it was implied he was embarking on with Elena at the end of 3.
I'm either case, the Uncharted series has been one of the most consistently excellent series of the past decade or so, so I'm always excited for more entries in the series.
