@TheBrandedSwordsman Yes, I've played through the first 3 Uncharted games via the PS4 remastered collection. Overall they're quite fun. Drake is alright, although he can be a bit smug at times. Sully is great, and any scene that he's in is automatically a good one.
Out of the 3 games, I'm going to take the unpopular opinion and say the first one is my favourite. I like how it's not as over the top as the others, and keeps things focused around one main island. Plus we get to see a lot of best girl Elena in it. And I think the supernatural elements are handled best in this game, as they're quite scary and challenging. In later games, the supernatural fights become far too frustrating.
I've got the 4th game somewhere from a previous sale, so I'm up for giving it a try at some point.
So I’m playing through Uncharted Drakes Fortune Remaster on PS4 at the moment and it’s been several years since I played the game originally on PS3. I’ve been enjoying it immensely until just this moment... Chapter 12. How did I not remember this absolutely atrocious upstream jet ski run with exploding barrels, sniping bad guys, and the most loosey-goosey awful steering controls ever devised? That was a very unfun experience. 😅 Hopefully that’s the last I see of that jet ski.

@TraCuz- Yeah, for me too. Although a lot of it comes back to my memory, but there are whole sections where I don’t really remember it — like the aforementioned jet ski section. I must have blocked it out of my memory. I’m actually at Chapter 17 now, making good progress, and I overall think the game is brilliant. The vocal performances are stupendous, and the visuals and flow of the game is so well done. The hordes of enemies that come at you is a little annoying at times, and there are a few little inconsistencies here and there, but it’s a great game. If it’s been since PS3 days since you played it then you should give the PS4 remaster a spin.
@Thrillho
Those Proving Ground challenges are fun, didn't quite manage gold in all of them yet. Thinking I will return to play hard mode at some point, but I tend to find a big break between playthroughs makes it a lot more enjoyable on the revisit.
@TheBrandedSwordsman Well, I just started the chapter and quit for the night, but up to this point the story is quite good. A typical Indiana Jones style artifact and treasure hunt. It’s nothing too complex, and there is definitely plenty of Hollywood style moments of pure convenience to move the plot along, so it doesn’t always make perfect sense, but it’s exciting all the same. For example, and this is only a minor spoiler, but I’ll spoiler tag it anyways - Nathan and Elena just made it through a complex maze of puzzles trying to get to the treasure, and they reach the end and find a decayed body, which is a skeleton.. with a beard (how is there hair and a beard on a skull with no skin?!) and Nate immediately knows the corpse’s identity and he immediately deduces the circumstances of his death. It’s all a little too convenient. Also when they find certain clues like maps or various devices, sometimes they are just laying out in the open... yeah right — like a map from the 1500’s would be laying out and that easily readable without some kind of special preservation done to it. But I look past all these over analyzation issues and enjoy it for what it is. I mean, what video game story doesn’t have a few plot holes?
But I think I’m pretty close to the end. The climactic encounter is about to occur and maybe I’ll finish it in the next day to two.
@Kidfried
Good luck with that queen, took me way more retries than I'd like to admit. Was the only part of the game I found even slightly frustrating. Hope you have better luck, or more skill, than I did.
@RogerRoger Well, once I discovered the trick that when you aim your gun with L2, the jet ski sort of freezes, at least mostly, and the current doesn’t carry you, it’s a mechanic I spammed to gradually crawl up stream, but even with that I was bumping into rocks and spinning out of control repeatedly. Thankfully it’s not a very long section. I didn’t mind the other jet ski parts, it was mostly just trying to fight the water current the whole time that made it a frustrating exercise.
Interestingly, I’ve just completed that zombie horde section and found it not too bad. The run-‘n’-gun method of shooting was most useful. But yes, that section does require a little deftness to running around to keep picking up ammo and not accidentally dodging down one of the holes, which I did once.
@Kidfried Good luck! I definitely had to play on easy for that final boss. And use a Rage Resurrection stone. Also had fully upgraded weapons, Runic attacks, and armor, I used the mist armor from Niflheim. All those final bosses are really fun!
@Sorteddan Lol, not to mention the copious amount of ammo and weaponry that’s just lying around everywhere you go. In the Uncharted Universe people just love to throw fully functional guns away and abandon them out in the open all the time. And live grenades. And somehow, despite the weapons all being there since the 1940’s, they seem to work perfectly. 😂
It all makes for a smashing fun game though! I wouldn’t change it!

@Th3solution The jetski bit in Uncharted just made me miss Wave Race. The GameCube Wave Race has better water physics than pretty much any game I’ve played since.
With the upcoming Ratchet & Clank game looking pretty impressive I thought I should try one out seeing as I have never played one. So last night I started the PS4 one that was free with Plus. A couple of hours in and I'm really enjoying it. It's already a visually pleasing game and way more cinematic than I was expecting. If it carries this standard to the end it looks like I'll be getting Rift Apart.
@RogerRoger Oh, for sure. Although I doubt I’ll become the type of gamer that replays his favorite games regularly, I am seeing some of the value in a replay. There is a unique nostalgia coupled with active enjoyment that doing this brings. Many parts of the game I have the thought “Oh yeah, I remember this part” and my mind is flooded with enjoyable memories of having played this game years ago with a friend. But then surprisingly I have sections where it feels like I’m seeing this all for the first time and experiencing something new (like the aforementioned jetski section). I think it helps that it’s a remaster too, because there are legitimately new things that weren’t there the first time, like smooth frame rate, upgraded graphics, etc. For example, I am mistaken or does Elena look different, like... better? I seem to recall she got a face makeover for UC3 or UC4 to look less awkwardly designed and I feel like this is the new Elena. She’s adorable, nonetheless.
And yes, one of the great aspects of the game is very forgiving checkpoints and respawns. Very playable and although a couple of firefights have been frustrating and mildly unfair on Hard difficulty, never did I feel a rage quit coming on. The most I’ve had to respawn I think is like 6 or 7 times and it’s so quick that you’re back in the action that it doesn’t feel so aggravating. You can pretty well memorize the enemy placement with ease and formulate a plan when you respawn. I think maybe I could have done Crushing, as I’m surprised how Hard hasn’t felt very bad. But I don’t know. Maybe I’ll get ambitious for UC2, but I doubt it

@BearsEatBeets Glad you like it! Yes, I think most people will really enjoy R&C if they give it a chance. I also had misplaced low expectations before I actually played it.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Still GOW3 and enjoying it. Previous 2 games were Journey and UC3, both great. Next 2 games on the plan are Witcher 3 and then Until Dawn. I'm guessing my backlog is going to keep me going into summer at least
@Kidfried Yay! Cheers for the victory!
Impressive that you did it without a Resurrection Stone too. Yeah the high cooldown ratings help to keep your more powerful Runic attacks ready to pummel her with. Congrats on the well earned platinum!
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution@TraCuz- Still playing Uncharted 4, onto Chapter 10 now and the vehicular gameplay is a nice change of pace. I just attached the winch to the 4x4 for the first time, surveying the ruins in some far-off country somewhere, I forget, anyway I am in Chapter 10 ,The Twelve Towers now, looking forward to some exhilarating UC4 gameplay! I quite enjoy the witty exchanges between Sully, Nathan and Sam in the car "Why did we rent a 4x4 with a winch?" (Translation to player: "You're gonna be using a winch soon!") Nice exposition. 😉
