      I feel where you’re coming from but I think that’s a bad way of phrasing it.
      Cause like by that logic forespoken is the start to an amazing series.
      I think a better way of putting it would be “in hindsight if uncharted 1 is the worst in the series then that’s a good series.”
      Or something like that.

      ​@@AnimatedTerrornaah. forspoken is shit. it was dead on arrival. uncharted 1 was great when it came out. it was praised a lot and it kept getting better which made the first one the worst in the franchise
      same with arkham games. asylum was very very well received when it came out but with more and more advances in the combat system and stealth mechanics in the future games, asylum became tough to go back to even though it's still a solid game.

      ​@Nottheguyyouthinkitis I played on the third highest difficulty setting, you over-aggressive, easily-offended moron. I've 100%'d both Nioh Games, Sekiro, and Sifu. Hard games are not the issue. The issue is that the first Uncharted game has combat controls that are in their infancy compared to what they'd become later. Enemies spawn in massive numbers, are pinpoint-accurate if you're out of cover, the weapons aren't well-balanced, the melee "extra ammo" kills are wonky to execute, and a good bit of the platforming is a trial-and-error chore. The game is clunky. It doesn't mean I didn't enjoy playing it, but it means it's far from a smooth experience.

    I found it enjoyable even after all these years. Even the gun play wasn't that bad for me personally. I even beat it on brutal, which I suggest not doing unless you love to spawn and die in one spot for an hour then maybe dead eye dick misses his shot giving you the chance to shoot him first. My biggest gripe is the melee combat and of course the jet ski parts. The zombies is the best part and in my opinion the best supernatural part in the entire series. UN2 guardians were cool but they didn't give me the feeling that the zombies did and the UN3 hallusionan was weak in my opinion. I am surprised you didn't mention how the MP40 has 35 rounds in the mag instead of 32.

    It’s actually a good game. At the time of its release I’d never experienced anything like it before. The vibrant colors and beautiful visuals were in complete opposition to what games looked like then. The characters were filled with such personality, and Drake voicing what the audience was thinking in scenes was very special. It was the kind of game you wished would gain the attention to further expand its world for a sequel. I often replay this game for the memories, and often consider this a major transition point in narrative games. It’s still special as a work of art, be it dated or not

I have never found myself having any problems with the shooting, that being said, the jet ski is… yep it’s bad, but generally I enjoy the gameplay. I’ve beaten Drake’s Fortune more times than any other Uncharted game due to its short length and nostalgia factor, even beating it on crushing. While Drake’s Fortune isn’t my fav Uncharted game, I still prefer it to Uncharted 3, a game which I don’t enjoy that much. I look forward to the rest of your Uncharted reviews!

    This entries combat does appear difficult but i retried it after a couple years and after running through this on crushing and a couple of speed-runs later you learn the quarks of it. For example run-and-gun has god tier levels of aim assist to the point where i found myself using it in tight space instead of melee (especially with the shotgun). Melee and bullets multiply damage so blasting 2 enemies from far away then running up and finishing em off with a punch works surprisingly well. You can stun enemies for a brief second with one shot and use that time to fight them then move to a new bit of cover. Dodge rolling works for every enemy type not just the laser ones.
    IDK Maybe I just do well inspite of the bad combat.

Being someone who only recently also got a PS5 and played through all mainline games for the first time, this videohelps broaden my perspective on the games. I'm interested to see how my blind playthroughs and first time experiences stack up to someone who's played them before and is now revisiting them.

    I absolutely love the Uncharted games, even now. They are my favourite games, and I think UC1 hold a strong place in my heart because it was the first game I ever played on console.

    I’m sorry to say this like this but did you write your scripts while watching Joseph Anderson’s video I decided to rewatch them and this feels criminal

    My first time playing the series was the PS4 remasters so I never got to enjoy the game when it first released and I can imagine at the time it would have been mind blowing. I just replayed it and found it so frustrating this time... I couldn’t count the amount of times I missed a ledge and jumped to my death, got killed because the cover controls were are so off, and accidentally rolled off a cliff. And I played on easy mode… My feeling is it’s a GREAT game that has not aged well. The jump in quality in Uncharted 2 is huge.

    Guys I think my game is glitched instead of the enemies saying “shoot to kill” they yell “Skyrim belongs to the Nords!” And run at me with a sword anyone know how to fix this?

    I completely forgot I played this game like 5 years ago and seeing you play it brought back my PTSD

    Played for the first time ever on ps plus, and boy was it tedious. The enemies have auto lock-on aim to hit you no matter what, the same generic gun battles over and over was exasperating and clonky mechanicshere and there😂. I finished the 1st game just to say i did it, but I couldn't play the other 2 in the trilogy. Playing on hard difficulty was just murder and too time consuming to progress and finish the game.

    This game was so good bro, the bunker sequence was scarier than a lot of horror games these days, I loved it
