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.

It was mindblowing.

​@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.

[@DefMM123]

I love the Uncharted series each installment got better in some way!

[@leonpaelinck]

No U2 will always remain the best one

[@NvrchFotia]

I love how the MP40's and ammo you find that have been around seawater for like 62 years work just fine.

[@arcfighterx2586]

We need a prequel with sir Francis drake that ends with a difficult section of him having to wipe out his crew and have it end with a cliff hanger where he accepts the duty of protecting the cursed treasure.

[@johnoneil9188]

I love the Uncharted games, actually played them before I touched anything Tomb Raider but the weird thing I got to say too is that I played them backwards for most of the series. I got 3 first and then played 2 and one after I loved 3. It was interesting seeing the game regress but still understanding how it started out and while 1 is maybe not that awesome today I got a huge weak spot for 2. That damn train, man.

[@dom655]

woah, i played them backwards too! i didn’t think there was someone else who did that

[@fuhyfelax8218]

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?

[@moondodger5952]

The more I stare at the facial animations, the more I see Crash Bandicoot’s DNA in this game.

[@xmifblackstone1274]

Why is no one talking about the fact that Sir Francis Drake still had his hair despite being dead for hundreds of years and being a skeleton🧍‍♂️

[@mariosoares5431]

OMG I haven't played this game in over two years, and I played the first 4 by order mind you, and I STILL instantly remembered that Jet Ski section you showed. Truly traumatic

[@steelbear2063]

I remember laughing my ass off at Drake saying "this time *I'll* drive" to Elena. Like bro she was driving full speed while near a legion of cliffs in a jungle and under the machine gun fire from multiple foes, and she did great. And the motivation and courage of characters in Uncharted 1 just flips constantly honestly

[@dulizardglasses3170]

If you compare this game with Number 4, they are so different. Like Nate goes from curses and zombies to just regular treasure hunting with basic people.

[@coltonwilkie241]

Thank God. The curses and paranormal stuff was always bad.

[@mitchellgeringer4533]

i LOVE that you used Crash Twinsanity music for this video, what a throwback

[@SquallSZ]

I started the series in 2020 and I still wasn't chocked by Uncharted 1. It was a very nice ride.

[@babelr1]

I'm excited to see your vids on the whole series. 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.

[@antennahead4978]

I have played Uncharted 2 and 3 DOZENS of times and have memorized the games front to back. Some of my favorite games from my childhood. I have played Uncharted 1 once. Never again.

[@rageproductions2908]

Great video man, when my friend and I played Uncharted 1 the part where Elena punches you for us it glitched out and it made her punch rubber band back and forth like she was doing a mega wind up, it was funny as hell, we joked about it and referenced it throughout the whole game and if I'm being honest it was pretty much the only funny thing that got us through the game.

[@killerclone2177]

i found this man back when he explained all space marine chapters.. and i have loved this man ever since he is one funny man

[@NoobLeviathon]

Its a crime that you still haven't made a Deep Rock Galactic video

[@gewishworm4724]

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.

[@Pluvillion]

I literally just finished UC1 yesterday. It’s a clunky mess especially with gunfights. I’m now playing UC2 and BOY IS IT MILES BETTER.

[@therizzler0609]

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

[@7Beltane]

When you had to shoot a single enemy almost 10 times just to kill them. And with a freaking rifle. Good times.

[@tigerbytegames]

And so you're always calculating whether it's better to have a pistol with 100 bullets or a Magnum with 8 bullets lolol good times ...

[@samuelproctor7591]

Great video. Interesting take. I love the Uncharted series and I'm definitely in the minority but the first one is my favourite. I personally feel the sense of mystery and history was bigger here.

[@toastedtoastontoast]

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.

[@lonecypher8172]

I 100% agree. I have a lot of Nostalgia for Uncharted 1 cause I played it back in 2009/2010 when I was very young. But after playing the sequels when the collection came out, playing Uncharted 1 again feels so bad

[@hafurg]

Don't forget to note that Gabriel Roman is voiced by Simon Templeman, a huge veteran in the industry that voice Raziel in the Legacy of Kain (Soul Reaver) series. A series that was directed and designed by Amy Hennig, who also directed the uncharted series. Nice video! I played this game first hand this past year (got a lot of homework to do, yeah) and I agree with you: the shooting parts suck 70% of the time. They didn't really invest that much in polishing those mechanics as in face expression (that is, still today, brutal)

[@squeethemog213]

This series was one of my autistic brother's fixations for years and sadly I never got to enjoy the series. However, I can enjoy your thoughts on the series instead cause damn your content is wonderful :D

[@mr.bluesky8554]

Bricky: you are pure evil Uncharted 1: I am necessary!

[@indiscreetbeat]

Uncharted 1 is the first game I ever remember playing, I’ve gone on to play every Uncharted about 5+ times

[@processing4426]

I think most of these problems stem from the fact that you don't enjoy the game's combat system. I personally enjoyed it and maybe that's why I actually liked the 1st entry more than the 3rd one. That being said game II and IV are much better.

[@patrickbatman141]

Agreed. Uncharted 3 is the worse game in the series imo and people think I'm insane when I say that. I just find it so forgettable and a step down from Uncharted 2. If I was to rank the main entries it'd be 1.Among Thieves 2.A Thief's End 3.Drakes Fortune 4.Drakes Deception

[@madcowboy5700]

its funny that was exactly my thought after finishing that game, I had played the rest first so it was clear this was just a meh thing that needed to happen so we can get the actual good games

[@DynamicDurge]

Your comment on how anyone can play this game is spot on which isn't totally bad if the game is still a bunch of fun to play. My sister and I loved this game when we were growing up and she didn't play video games at all

[@jeffreydean5112]

I still love it. I can't hate on the origin of one of the best characters and series to ever be on a video game.

[@-Raylight]

Guess for 2007 it's so good, especially when you're a child 😂 Kinda sad that we probably will never get game like Uncharted ever again. Especially seeing Naughty Dog like this nowadays

[@borakthrash]

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

[@jaysony8587]

Yikes calling him out huh

[@morpyporpy9770]

Also can we talk about how when Nate finds Frances body, he drops the ring, which is rlly funny considering the plot of the 3rd game cause it’s like the most important thing ever lol

[@MullerFan28]

Elena picked it up for him at the end and then he's reminded of the expedition

[@r2d2rxr]

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

[@Crumbster]

I have always been the weirdo guy that hold my controller with a claw grip. I've never had problems with uncharted 1 when it comes to moving and shooting at the same time, though I do agree it does feel clunky. But, I got used to it pretty quickly personally.

[@I_Am_Wasabi_Man]

[@John-996]

When You play RE4 as much as i do you can play anything.

[@crazycat690]

I did remember both the names of Roman and Navarro, quite liked them as villains myself despite them being on the shallow end (granted, Roman's first name eluded me) though Eddie was clearly the best villain in the first game. Shame that he (most likely) died to never return. Not really enough villains of that archetype anymore.

[@erdervv]

Something i just noticed while watching your video is that eddy brings up his men dying multiple times and when one is grabbed by the cannibal his reaction is wuite intense. Yes, the dialog is there for foreshadowing, but i think that he also cares quite a lot for his crew.

[@RapidFireRetro]

I remember when I tried to play this game when the PS3 was new. Couldn't get more than an hour or two into it. Then I played Uncharted 2 on a whim later and I was instantly hooked. The first game needs a full remake tbh.

[@noklle2844]

Curious about the clunky gunplay issue, cause the only real clunk I experienced was getting in and out of cover

[@sunsetman22]

something something skill issue

[@lordsquirrel9835]

I play the Uncharted series at least once a year because they are my all-time favorite games by miles. Of course you can't beat the first time experience of a good story game but every time i play them i get blown away because it speaks to me in a way i can't really describe. But i see your and other peoples point. For me It's like having an old protection dog, for other people he might seem weak now but i still see the beast in him like he was in his prime

[@txma.]

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

[@Dogyphil]

Bricky's shirt pattern was actually my sleeper agent trigger. Just got back from stealing back the El Dorado and am currently scared for my life

[@matbear7206]

As a man who recently replayed the all the Uncharted games in like a Month, I feel all of your pain, and I'm so sorry that you also had to experience them. But, on the brightside, atleast now other's know the pain too. Not to mention how great the video itself was. Oh, and as a word of advise for the next two Uncharted games, don't Stealth. Just don't. You can try, and it might go well for you sometimes, but once you try doing it in the Second and Third games, you'll see what my foreshadowning means.

[@steelbear2063]

Have to disagree, in the 2nd game stealth matters, I've had several sections where going stealth saved me from fighting waves of reinforcements. Uncharted 3 tho - yeah just go crazy

[@xpenguinkingx2453]

Blood for the blood god. That is all. 👹

[@ZodiacBoi42]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt this way

[@sr.lontra]

I love your reviews, bricky I love the variety. Amazing stuff Tis a good day

[@kat309]

Literally just finished this game for the first time yesterday and felt this exact same way. I was confused because people love this series but figured things might get better in the next one (hopefully) But as for the jet skis… I didn’t know we could shoot the barrels! Or anything! Took me forever smh
