Were these games ever good? Or were people just dazzled by the impressive graphics for the time?

play them and form your own opinion
Average
I just replayed the original trilogy.
2>>1>>>>>>3
They are still good
They were good linear platformers. 4 has no soul because Hennig left
The shit? Theres no platforming.
Uncharted is unironically what passes as platformer for seventh gen gays. kek
Nah, 4 is fun as hell to play and has some great setpieces. The story was mildly disappointing for not having a supernatural twist with pirate skeletons, but it's forgivable.
4's story takes itself too seriously and loses some of its adventure-movie charm, plus the "oh by the way Nathan has a brother now" retcon was super jarring. That said, Rafe is probably the series' best villain.
4 had better gameplay and setpieces. It's genuinely amazing on hardest difficulty. All of them are good, but 1 is the worst because of clunkiness
Ucnharted set pieces are still amazing.
I played through them for the first time recently. Didn't care much for 1, but the rest were great. 2 was the best for me, with 3 being a close second. 4 started off good but after they went to the island, it got really uninteresting. Was waiting for a supernatural element that never happened. Didn't play through the Chloe DLC so I have no idea if it's good or not. Also Elena is shit and should have died at the end of 2
>Didn't play through the Chloe DLC so I have no idea if it's good or no
It's basically 4 but just better. It's ending set piece is also amazing.
How can a man not love Elena?
What the frick, anon.
Uncharted 2 is extremely impressive on a technical level. It's wizardry. The story is mediocre but Drake was very charming and Elena is peak wife fantasy.
>fighting final boss
>come at me you big ugly b***h!
Drake is based
They're okay but not masterpieces. 2 is better than 1.
No. The gunplay is fricking terrible, the climbing is basically just holding forward, and the big spectacle moments are ridiculous.
2 is the best one, 1 is dogshit and 3 is fine. 4 is pretty good but I unironically prefer the Chloe story that came out afterwards.
The internet is spying on me again. I just started playing 1 today.
Good to hear it only gets better from here.
3 is honestly a little bit worse than 1 for the contrivances in the story but I don't think you should expect any worse gameplay than 1.
Well, maybe some puzzles but I can't remember which puzzles are in what game. Anyone remember which game that light puzzle is in where you need to line up the shadows on the wall? I think that was in 3, hated that one.
For it's time, they were awesome.
They still hold up okay, the gameplay is really jank compared to modern games.
It turns out it was just the graphics. Try playing them today. They're the epitome of moviegame slop. The only people who still like them are the ones who have nostalgia of playing them when they were new.
It's campy and fun and there's no moron wokeshit until you get a glimpse of it in 4. Perfect part for the series to end because you just know that Druckmann would have raped any sequels after that.
Just played all of them for the first time a few years ago and you are unfathomably wrong.
Jaded piece of shit
Yup. I was never impressed by these games. If you played anything before these games, you will not be surprised. Just mediocrity and cutscenes until the credits roll. Typical overrated Sony exclusive that gen.
I just played them for the multiplayer.
2>4>3>1
I played the first & thought it was mediocre third person shooter adventure game, played the second & thought it had some cool set pieces to look at but was totally tedious & devoid of gameplay & as far as an actual game is concerned found it just as mediocre as the first, didn't play any after that.
They're fun TPS and enjoyable to speedrun. Overhated due to the Playstation brand and muh "movieslop" is such a buzzword considering that plenty of franchises (Resident Evil, MGS) have already been trending into the blockbuster cinema industry.
>plenty of franchises (Resident Evil, MGS) have already been trending into the blockbuster cinema industry.
MGS always had long cutscenes but that's a lot different than forcing you to press a button for an extended period of time for what's basically an unskippable cutscene which uncharted really helped pioneer.
Why would you ever skip a cutscene in a story game? I've never understood people like that.
because sometimes I dont want to watch 5 minutes of Nathan Drake apologizing to his wife for lying about a contrived moral scenario he learned to not do 3 games ago
You seem like the kind of gay who would watch a movie at 2x speed
You didn't really experience the game then.
>you beating the game doesn't count unless you force yourself to endure something you find extremely unpleasant & detrimental to your experience playing the game
You're moronic.
>I called the game shit after deliberately skipping half of it.
everybody pretty much universally agrees that 4 is second best after 2
it just has shitty contrived anti-man shit
whole frickin chapter of the game driving your wife around apologizing
Oh I agree that the driving sections and Nadine kicking the ass of 2 grown adult men are bullshit.
>audio is gameplay
Refer to my last reply.
I didn't want to hear raiden & rose crying over codec for 5 hours the first time I played MGS2 & I certainly don't want to listen on repeat playthroughs. I understand that some people find that exciting to listen to but not me.
Theyre the best the "movie game" format has to offer.
But they are not "good games" in the sense they dont have any real thoughtful design.
No more or less stagnant than other shooting games, but offered a more "movie-like" experience.
To that end it was "innovative". Certainly not the first movie game, but the most accessible and successful within the format.
Also easier for critics and reviewers to understand since theyre all butthurt failed writers.
The narrative focus is more easy for them to understand and write about so easier ratings.
2 is a masterpiece within that range.
1 is serviceable.
3 is bad.
4 is good again, but with clear woke progressive self-loathing.
1 is alright, it was great but aged a lot
2 is fantastic
3 is good (the plane and desert part is GOAT tho)
4 is slowly turning into Sony Cinematic Experience™, but when it's game, it's a great game and when it's movie, it's one hell of a movie
Lost Legacy is ass
Golden Abyss is surprisingly very good and proof that Vita could have been the greatest handheld ever if it had GAMES (as in non weeb VN ones)
How is Vita emulation coming along? I do want to try Golden Abyss one day.
Lost Legacy is not ass you stupid motherfricker
Explain to me how it is. It's literally just more uncharted 4 with one of the best villains in the series
I think they are good enough cover shooters and the characters are charming.
if you like moviegames they're peak. if you like real games they're low-mid
They are good. Only the first one has aged kind of poorly.
They're the best of the third person moviegame shooters that were so popular in seventh gen. Fun romps but I never understood why critics loved them so much when they didn't really do anything new. My confusion would later be amplified when Uncharted with Zombies came out and got even more praise.
2 was a legitimate 10/10 in 2009. The graphics, technology, writing, gunplay, pacing, performances, music, etc. The multiplayer was phenomenal.
I'd say it's still worth playing today it's still a well executed comfy 3rd person adventure shooter.
1 is a decent proof of concept, a little rough around the edges
3 is just 2 but without that electricty, that lighting in a bottle quality you get from something truly special
4 is over hated. The set pieces are amazing. The climbing, swinging, traversal, gunplay, level design and scenario design are all the best in the series by far. The writing is very good but lacks the charm of the PS3 games, and it drags on about 5 hours too long.
Lost Legacy is the best in the series and the only other one besides 2 I recommend playing. It has all the excellent design qualities of 4 but condensed into a tight package. Chloe is hot
Golden Abyss is not bad, better than 1 imo
Lost Legacy is dogshit from what I remember because it took that driving in Madagascar section from 4 that no one liked, and expanded it to take up a bigger section of the game.
Also Chloe and Nadine are shit at playing off of each other.
The driving parts are the best levels in those games...
Nah I hate that pseudo-open world shit. It does not belong in an Uncharted game.
honestly uncharted would do well with hubworld/metroidvania progression but that would actually be too gamey
taking surveys again?
Uncharted 2 is genuinely great and all other moviegames wish they could be 1/100th as good.
uc2 had the best mp, 3 ruined it and i didnt bother playing 4 at all
both
people like to shit on ND but they are the only AAA devs that actually release good looking, polished, unbroken games. unfortunately that means they no longer make games and have reached Valve Ep3 tier
UC2 was pretty buggy. t. got stuck inside terrain multiple times during my playthrough at launch
