Hmm, it's weird. I thought both Uncharted games were easy even on crushing. The only kinda hard part on Drake's fortune was chapter 4 in the plane crash site. The rest was easy. What difficulty are you playing on?

Why is TheSonyKid so bad at Uncharted? :lol: Are you taking cover? Regaining health behind cover when dying? Going for headshots? The Uncharted games, I believe, are slightly notorious in being quite easy apart from a few levels which you can struggle with on Crushing.

I never really considered the Uncharted series to be that hard, sure it's a challenge on crushing mode, but only in a few areas. It's even considered to be an easy platinum.

I feel the same way. Not everybody who enjoys video games are good at them. I constantly struggled on easy(sad I know). But I feel like they should be just a little more forgiving on easy mode.

You can try keeping your back against a wall I guess. Then you've got your back covered.

Personally, I though both games were pretty easy. Just remember to take cover and you'll be fine.

Here's a tip. Stay under cover and never be in the open. The enemies will try to flank or grenade you, so make sure you can find cover either behind you or to your side.

I recall the normal difficulty being pretty much like normal difficulty in every other game. There were probably a few parts I had to repeat a few times, but for the most part I would either breeze through or die once. I'm not sure I believe that Crushing is "easy" though for an easy platinum. If you die a few times on Normal you would expect to die 100 times on Crushing.

I think he's talking about Drake's Fortune which on Hard mode was actually hard lol. And Crushing was constantly crushing you. But yeah UC2 wasn't that hard.

Maybe you should lower the difficulty. Also, if you dont use cover constantly, you WILL die. For some reason, some people think the cover system is optional.

As to the cover system, I will add the suggestion that you constantly move from cover point to cover point. If you simply camp out behind a rock, they WILL get you...

It ain't that hard 2 me. I played it on normal difficulty settings and completed in 2days. I'm sure hard and crushing would be a piece of cake for me as well :). If you find the game that hard then just play easy although its less rewarding when you complete it on that difficulty settings.

I think you just suck at games, Uncharted isn't hard at all. In the original Uncharted there was a few areas I had to try quite a few times but nothing too challenging and overall it was pretty easy.

I think its pretty easy, although some platforming elements and mildly clunky controls can result in a few cheap deaths

Uncharted 1's difficulty modes are somewhat unbalanced compared to Uncharted 2. Easy is easy as, and Normal if forgiving, but Hard and Crushing have some huge leaps in difficulty. Also, enemies take more shots to kill in Uncharted 1 than in 2. There's also a larger focus on arena fights, which pretty much demands trial and error. Even though you have your back covered a lot of the time, it doesn't take a lot for all enemy types to flank you quickly. The main rule is to play it Gears of War style and constantly duck, roll and cover. And remember where the tougher enemies spawn from so you can take them out before they become a hassle. In Uncharted 1 you can spam rolling to avoid enemy fire. ;)

Drakes Fortune was probably one of the most frustrating games i have ever played and I love demon souls and dark souls so im not afraid of challenge just a poorly executed one. almost every encounter I died at least twice and there were four or five that took me over 20 tries on normal. The church area in chapter 20 especially. There are so many enemies that if u miss a shot that shouldve killed someone it opens an opportunity for the three enemies that are just outside your field of view to charge and blow u to shit with a m71 at point blank. I try to retreat back a few pews and go to enter cover and because the controls are so clunky i end up taking cover on the opposite side as my enemy walks up and shoots me in the face. This game has a very bland story and the level design and atmosphere are nothing new so u think the game's focus would then fall on gameplay but gameplay is its worst aspect. Its almost as if Naughty Dog thought the story was so good they didnt need to fine tune the gameplay. And Aliens? wtf?

Yes, this is the only way to get through the game. I just didnt enjoy how the game forces you to spam roll all over the damn place.

hawk549

I find the Souls games to be pretty easy provided you know where to go and what strategy to use on what enemy, and I'm not a super-hero gamer or anything.

I'm currently playing through the Uncharted games again (almost done -- got 5 or so chapters to go on Uncharted 3), and it's really striking me how incredibly bad the controls are in these games. I'm pretty sure I'll trade them in when I'm done with this play-through because I don't think I'll ever play them again. The stories are great, but the cover system really sucks (almost always get stuck behind the wrong cover and then you're glued to it) and the platforming controls are terrible. When you want Drake to jump to another platform you've gotta mess with the stick for a minute to get the exact sweet spot where he actually leans towards where you want.

So im on to uncharted 2 now and I feel a lot more positive towards this one. The story has some depth and twists to it and the level design is amazing compared to Drakes Fortune. These 2 aspects help draw my attention away from the frustrating controls i.e. taking cover when i want to dodge, dodging when i want to take cover, and the way the camera angle makes platforming unnecessarily difficult. The enemy ai seems less likely to charge you like they have swords insteads of guns also. In the first one EVERY SINGLE enemy would just sprint to where u were hiding. Rediculous. I guess these improvements are why Among Thieves got GOTY.

Hmm, I had the same problem. Struggled through the first 2 on easy, admittedly. It wasn't until I played in beat the third one on both Normal then Crushing that I finally got the feel for the games. I'm not sure what my previous problem was, I just sucked at it I guess. I've since gone back and beat them all on Crushing, which was a pretty good challenge to me, but doable nonetheless. You have to use cover, yet you can't just sit there and let enemies swarm you, the latter part may have been one of my issues. After all my experience I can't say it's an easy or hard game, it's somewhere inbetween.

Coolyfett agrees Uncharted takes a little practice. Start a new game on hard mode just to practice, then play Uncharted on normal.

The biggest issue is aiming & having the right touch to do it. Also cover patience will effect how well you last. You cant just run out guns a blazing lol.
