I am not liking Uncharted 1? The shooting is 100% not great and the lack of ammo is frustrating. Enemies seem to just pop out at random, and they're not highlighted well against the backdrops.

I will say I'm usually used to KB/M shooting, bit this feels particularly crappy and I don't think there's even aim assist.

Not sure if I should just skip to 2

imo the first game's back half is not nearly as strong as the beginning and if you're not vibing with it it's okay to move onto 2. Uncharted 1 wraps up in a nice little self-contained bow so you're not missing any plot threads. However I will say that the games bank very hard (emotionally at least) on you having played through them, especially as the series gets closer to the end, so you may want to stick with it just for the characterization if that's your thing.

I did not like uncharted 1, and have yet to start 2 because of it. I would say skip and get onto what people call the good ones!

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. UC1 feels very prototype-y with a lot of just moving to 1 box after the other with some climbing splashed in.

I'll get it another hour tomorrow to see if it takes me, if not I'll watch a summary on YouTube and skip to 2.

Sorry bout your spine VG. Thankfully we both live in countries where medical expenses aren't gonna bankrupt us :v:
Heard today a test for the Corona Virus costs Americans like close to $4k USD. Wasn't sure if its bullshit, but it def sounds like a country without a healthcare system.

Having 6 teeth out, including all my wisdom teeth, cost around $1.5k USD, and I think I get like $500 - $750 of that back and I don't have private health insurance.

Thank you! I am sure it will be fine and fixed soon enough. It is actually a relief to know what the problem is. I thought maybe I was sleeping incorrectly, or there was potentially something more nefarious! Knowing that a couple of my verts are trying to escape makes things easier to solve :)

Please be excited.



Uncharted 1 was cool at the time but I can't imagine it's held up well. It's missing a lot of the grobetrotting magic the rest of the series has too because it's all set in one location.

2 and 4 are brilliant games. The Lost Legacy's really good too. 3's probably the low point but still worth playing through.

I haven't been particularly enjoying it, and I really need an 'escapism' level game while I'm recovering so I can 100% focus on something else.

Hell I might reprioritise my backlog and play Horizon Zero Dawn or Witcher 3

There's unreadable garbage and there's being a misogynist because you're a pathetic little loser... I don't mind the dumb arguments about stuff like Star Wars or Marvel movies but this kinda poo poo is just a little bit more concerning.

All the licensed music is gone it's like watching those cursed Daria reruns where they had to pull the music because the terms of the license agreement was that they could use any song as long as my kept the video in rotation.

Skip UC1 if you aren't feeling it. Even at the time it came out people were like "oh yeah, the back half is bad". UC2 is much better and 3 is, uh, maybe just skip straight to 4 after you play 2 so you don't burn out on them.

Yep. Basically the crazy freedom of the internet (allowing for things like troll farms or mentally ill people with way too much time on their hands to have a lot more sway in shaping online discourse than they should) combined with the crazy freedom in America wrt the First Amendment is a perfect storm that's overwhelmingly likely to completely destroy democracy in the US.

If you do skip UC1, at least watch the speedrun of it from one of the previous GDQs. I forget which GDQ it showed up at but I remember a bunch of people were like "oh great, a speedrun of UC1, that's gonna be totally fun and exciting :rolleyes:" and then the guy starts walking through walls and launching himself into the sky

True.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
Everyone saying 1 doesn’t hold up is crazy to me but I’m the crazy one I guess. I liked that there’s a little platforming and the mixes of combat and it felt very tightly designed.

I’m playing Uncharted 4 now and honestly I think it’s the worst one I’ve played. They added in a billion collectables compared to the first 3, made some chapters with big open world segments (I hate open world stuff) with vehicles that drive like hot garbage, and I’m tired of everytime I get into a fight where the enemy spots me I never have a safe zone where the first 3 games always seemed to have a clear indication of where guys would spawn from and if you noticed them coming you had decent safe zones. Uncharted 4 took all the worst aspects of modern game design and slapped them together in a super bad way.

It looks amazing, sure. One of best looking games out there. I’d play first one over 4 any day.
