Uncharted games are super fun. I got the trophies for beating all three on "crushing" or whatever way back when but I heard they added a mode even harder than that and I don't know if I have it in me.
Also I've played Uncharted 2 like 4 times, it's one of the few games I've replayed.

The re-everything they've done on UC1 looks amazing, but once I heard that they'd gone back and actually fixed the shooting in UC3, that pushed the Drake collection up to must buy (at some point) for me.

I have not played 1 in years, but it feels fantastic and I'm having a ton of fun, even playing on Crushing
Also if I recall correctly a lot of the UC3 fixes were patched in within a year of that game coming out
That was such a weird thing, cause nobody could really articulate what was wrong with it, not even Naughty Dog
They just kinda had to fumble around until it was suddenly better

The most important change is actually apparent right out of the gate - a reduction in input latency. When Uncharted 3 first launched, users complained of sluggish aiming in comparison to its prequels. Of the three games, Uncharted 3 suffers from the highest input latency by quite a wide margin. In response to these complaints, Naughty Dog attempted to rectify the situation by implementing an alternate aiming mode in the first patch. Yet, even with this change in place, the game just didn't feel quite right.
In the move to PlayStation 4, Bluepoint is given the opportunity to finally put this issue to rest - and we feel it has succeeded: Drake's Deception now offers quick, responsive controls that are a pleasure to use. It's easier than ever to pull off accurate shots and there is never a sense that camera movement is weighed down by unwanted latency. Quite frankly, no game in this collection needed this tweak more than Uncharted 3, and the results here are excellent.

I only played 3 when it came out, and the change in gunplay frustrated me so much which is why I placed it below 1
I'd probably rank it higher after playing the updated version

I love the banter in these games. In fact, the banter is one of the chief reasons why, as much as I like Tomb Raider 2013, I like the Uncharted games far more for the character interactions.
I am having a helluva time going through Uncharted 1.
It just seems so rough! Uncharted 2 did every single thing (except for less Elena) better and having played it going back is so tough.
Also, shit damn, am I glad Naughty Dog learned what motherfucking checkpoints were between games. Christ, some of these bits are still so goddamn annoying.

I was waffling debating buying this at launch but with the Witcher 3 expansion and Fallout on the horizon, I figure I can wait a few months

My main issue with 3 was that it felt like they thought of these awesome setpieces (and DAMN were they awesome!) and then built the story around them.
And anyway the story felt kind of crap compared to the first two as a result, even though I thought the gameplay was top notch.
To be fair, that's how all of the Uncharted games have been made (as well as most story-based games in general), which makes it pretty remarkable that the stories in the first two were as good as they were.
This is what sold me on a PS4. Bought it that Friday. Still getting through UC1, normal difficulty. I'm not a masochist, and I love the puzzle solving 1000% more than the shooting parts anyway. Especially later on when those armored fucks come out. What's funny is that the first four games this system is going to have are all Naughty Dog games. The three Uncharteds, and I plan on picking up The Last of Us once I get through them.
Brutal most definitely lives up to its name. Seems like it takes about 2 shots to get killed, and I haven't been able to pull off a Steel Fist combo yet. It seems to just, not work.

I started The Last of Us in August and didn't get very far because I'm terrible at it. I think I died in every encounter. Then I started (and finished) Until Dawn and haven't gone back to Last of Us yet.
Whenever I do I'm gonna have to change the difficulty

UC4 makes me want a PS4, but I think I can wait. It's been ages since I played the Uncharted games, and elements of 3 left a bad taste in my mouth after the masterpiece and multiplayer dominatining that was Uncharted 2 for me. Maybe in the future when I have a PS4 I'll get it and this collection.
At any rate, these games and The Last of Us have cemented Naughty Dog as a studio I can get behind, even with their minor quirks and multiplayer hiccups, and I really hope I can get into that stuff again someday.
If anyone values their sanity, don't try brutal difficulty. I'm on chapter 4 and I quit. Thank god it's not part of the list for the platinum trophy. Still, I feel like I need to burn my house down to rid the world of it's evil.
About half way through the first one and I'm beginning to remember how much the gun fighting kinda sucks. On top of there just being way too many dudes. After the first hundred guys you kill, these guys should have been screw that noise. I've just about killed all the pirate guys, and now the laser sight guys come and annoy the crap out of me. Always way too many bad guys in these games.

Lol, you all are talking about brutal and crushing and I'm over here thinking about going to easy just to get past these stupid monsters in the bunker. My absolute least favorite part is this bunker, lol.
i never understood why people hate the water room. such a great challenge - it's like, if you hate this, why play the game at all? strategic combat bliss
Probably because most people don't play it enough to know the spawn points or where they need to be at a certain point during the encounter. Like when the guys come out from behind you. If you don't know that's going to happen, you're dead trying to figure out where the hell those guys came from. It can be frustrating to repeat encounters.
I always found the courtyard outside of the church and library far more irritating than the flooded room. Even more so since you have to fight through the area twice.

eh, i guess. and i have played a hell of a lot of drake's fortune. but if you're going to go as far as glitching out the game to avoid a couple of enemy spawns, it's kind of beyond just not knowing where those spawns are
anyway. it's true that the better you know the game the more rewarding it is. such as the two locations where you can actually use stealth!
last few vids from uncharted in case anyone's interested. part of the last chapter on crushing, and a couple of areas in brutal. i don't have the time or patience to beat the whole game on brutal but it's interesting to skip through and try out some of the cool areas. i may try the last courtyard / church encounter

Also I've played Uncharted 2 like 4 times, it's one of the few games I've replayed.
But one thing I learned about these games that I am finally putting into action playing them again via the collection
is the combat is WAY more fun when you actually take advantage of the mobility
Just run around blindfiring at dudes and punching them
It's a fairly unique way to play it that you can't really get out of most cover-based shooters
1) Uncharted 2
2) Tomb Raider 2013
3) Uncharted 1
4) Uncharted 3

That's why the water looks amazing in the cruise ship pirate level in this game about a secret city in the desert.

Definitely gonna buy it before UC4 though

But it was my birthday this past weekend and someone handed me a $50 Best Buy card and I went "well..." and now I have it

The bug for making the baddies spawn in the water room still exists in the remastered game!

Which doesn't work as well in, say, Last of Us, cause there's overarching stuff in that game like resources you pick up and stuff you build
In Uncharted you are either alive or dead and that's about it
I think I've done the same thing every time I've tried to play through it since it was originally released.

You're so close to the end!
This is the exact checkpoint where I gave up on Brutal.
do you need to play through on crushing to unlock brutal?
