    Just beat crushing a few hours ago, and it took around 13 hours total. Four of those hours were towards Chapter 8 and 9. The enemy shootouts where you sometimes had to kill 15 guys with zero checkpoints and the jet ski sections got me killed the most. I also hate the shootout in the church during Chapter 20; way to many snipers and grenade launchers.

      I beat this on Brutal and, in retrospect, it was a mistake too. High difficulties seriously detract from the intended game experience of Uncharted. All you can do on Brutal is sit behind a cover and try to shoot everyone in the head. Each encounter takes 3-20 attempts. When I beat the final boss, I felt more annoyed than anything.

    I love how cover shooters have you pop completely out of cover to shoot someone, exposing yourself to every single enemy. I often just stand a bit behind the cover and aim around the right corner, but it’s often an exploit since enemies can’t see your character while your reticle has no problem tickling them.

    I just beat this on crushing. It had been a while since I wanted to throw my controller, so that was nostalgic.
    Now I'm here to validate my suffering.
    Before I actually make it through the video, I MUST vent:
    Holy fuck, those powerful pistols make me want to slap someone. One hit kills on a ranged weapon with enemies that aim more accurately than a pro... it's literally worse than rockets and grenade launchers.
    Some spots are so ridiculously unfair (like "here, have some instant kill enemies while you're running up these stairs with no cover") that I ended up memorizing trigger points for enemies just so I can run back and hide in a corner by the door that just closed and locked behind me without anyone's interaction or consent.
    And on top of all of that, the controls become so much jankier when every motion actually matters. Like when I first played the series, I was like "okay, these controls are simple enough so I don't have to overthink." But now I'm like "for the love of God, turn O into three other buttons, please. PLEASE."
    AND STOP GODDAMN STICKING TO WALLS THAT DON'T PROTECT YOU, I'M LITERALLY TRYING TO DODGE BUT YOU WON'T LET ME.
    AND STOP GODDAMN GRABBING THAT DUDE THAT RAN UP TO YOU, I'M LITERALLY JUST TRYING TO DODGE. (more relevant to future titles, but a very valid complaint, tbh.)
    Ok, I'm good. :)
    Edit: I do want to seriously emphasize how badly they messed up with cover in this game versus the future Uncharted titles. One reason is that I've died from enemies shooting me while we're on opposite sides of cover (which one could argue is fair because we can shoot enemies under cover, BUT we can't go prone and they can so...), but also, there are specific formations that are angled so you aren't actually protected, particularly at the beginning of chapter 11 "Trapped."

    I played Uncharted 1-4 all on crushing and I honestly didn't have as many issues playing through 1-3 on Crushing as I was mostly aiming for headshots and the entire experience was honestly a blast for me, however, Uncharted 4's crushing was the worst in my opinion and that is due to severe balancing issues that were never quite ironed out such as certain weapons not being available on Crushing as well as the general lack of ammo which was extremely frustrating.

    not to mention, the original ps3 version doesn't have the grenade quick throw with L2 and you have to aim it, and that's not even where the problems end! You have to move the controller up and down to increase distance of the grenades and you leave yourself even more exposed so enemies have more time to kill you.

    In all my years of gaming have never fully broken a controller or mouse. Until last week playing Uncharted one. On NORMAL mode.
    The ps3 controller probably had some dust in the d-pad causing it glitch and randomly select weapons, especially grenades.
    After dying over and over and over and then the random weapon select glitch reset the entire battle just before the checkpoint.
    I tapped the controller against the ground in an attempt to maybe dislodge the dust. The handle snapped!... somewhere deep inside me from a dark valley I didn't know existed came forth a beast. I slammed the controller to the floor, bits of plastic darting across the tile. The beast liked. I slammed it again and again, getting out of my chair and pursuing the largest chunks with a vengeance. Happy was the beast. Down to the circuit board I crushed my foe and ripped the battery right out.
    The beast, satisfied, retired from the field of battle.
    Goodbye red controller. Your replacement is in the mail as is the third game, cant wait to finish the series.

    I know I'm a year late at this but the "problem" with the grenade throwing in NDC was that in the original PS3 version, using grenades was bound to the Down DPAD button as a separate weapon where you had to aim it manually too like a gun. So in the NDC somehow mapped it to the L1 button but still mechanically worked like the PS3 version where you were never in cover in the first place if you use a grenade.
    TL;DR UC1 PS3 version you were never in cover using grenades.

  • @CiccioImberlicchio
    @CiccioImberlicchio ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I did beat Uncharted 1 on the crushing difficulty as well and one thing I realized is that you need to get accustomed to the cover mechanic, abuse the shoot behind cover and the walk and shoot without aiming mechanic I wouldn't use those much in the previous difficulties and I would just always aim with L2 trying to get headshots but on crushing you just must learn to use those and adapt quickly, especially if the enemies tries to flank you.
    It makes you play the game in a way you never played before, you must be extremely patient and let the enemy come to you so you can shoot them blindly from behind the cover because you can't expose yourself too much or you'll die.
    You also need to use weapons like the shotgun efficiently with the run and shoot mechanic since it's able to one shot enemies

    Good video, mate! Crushing difficulty is generally broken in Uncharted games. You see... The gameplay in Uncharted is designed to be fast-paced and punctuated by daring improvised feats. You're not supposed to play these games like typical cover shooters. You're supposed to run around the arenas, engage enemies in spontaneous melee combat, flank them, jump on top of them etc. You're meant to be a bada$$ action hero who relies on improvisation and agility. Devs even said multiple times that the games are designed in a way to "encourage players to change position often". Once you're camping for too long, enemies will start throwing grenades at you to MAKE YOU reposition. Crushing diffuculty completely ruins this gameplay philosophy. It's no longer possible to get close to enemies to engage in melee combat, you can't improvise and you can't run around the arena. The enemies are so precise and deadly, you basically have to camp behind covers at all times and pop out for a split second to hit a headshot. Crushing difficulty sucks all the fun from Uncharted gameplay and turns it into an insufferable and more importantly BORING experience.

    I didn't have any problem with this game. I've done it twice actually. My one tip for anyone trying to do this is on the blue room just backtrack until you get to the turret and use it to shoot in the direction of the blue room. When you come back the enemies will spawn in and ignore you while they jump down into the hole and then it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

The terrible enemy placement, loose gunplay and shoddy cover system (which i spent half the playthrough trying to wrangle the system) did not give me a first good impressions of this series. Thankfully i chose hard from Uncharted 2 onwards amd i enjoyed it alot more. Plus that game fixed almost all the issues with the first game. It was awesome.

    the hardest is a broken difficulty, because it was added in the remaster- by blue point, and the game is not designed around that. Crushing on the other hand, is perfectly doable and is designed to work fine, i've done it in all 3 uncharted games.

    I beat this game on Crushing two time. How I beat it is work smarter, not harder mindset. All the enemies have patterns to their shooting and reloading, use the blind hip when enemies get too close to you if possible, use grenades to take down multiple enemies at once or take down a annoying enemy that is killing you a lot in a encounter, dodge a lot, and more importantly have a lot of patience. The only thing I find BS is once you get to the later chapters where you fighting military instead of Pirates, they will flank you a lot and have grenades launcher enemies as normal enemies and those enemies ONE SHOT you if you not careful enough, Witt the military enemies, you targeted the annoying enemies first, Sniper, Grenades Launcher, then deal the ones that are flanking and getting to close, and of they get too close, try and dodge out of cover to another closer cover. The supernatural enemies is easy to deal with, which is just hip fire and run and dodge if they get too close. The final chapter is the most difficult one out of the rest but you completely it once you play smart and have patience. Patience in Crushing is the most crucial and important thing to have in this difficulty mode. Oh by the way, if your screen is gray, IMMEDIATELY go back into your cover and wait to regenerate your health. That is also very useful and important to not dying a lot. And later in the chapters, when enemies flask a lot, try you best to immediately go to a cover far from the enemy when you gray. It not worth continuing shooting when you on gray screen. It best to retreat into cover and wait to health to come back. You can also use enemies that get closer or flanking to your advantage, since they get closer, hip fire from cover make it easier to finish them faster and you won’t have to endanger yourself. Sorry if I edit this multiple time. But these are the stuff I learn from playing Crushing. Must have patience and keep calm.

  • @matthewmatteomatheus6483
    @matthewmatteomatheus6483 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You can cheese crushing difficulty by exploiting the aiming system. The aiming doesn't take into account the player model and position of the gun, so whatever you're aming at, the shot will land on the crosshair, the bullet will go through the wall. This means that you can use walls without using the cover system, just normal aiming; the AI will struggle to hit you because you're almost completely covered. This made the crushing difficulty run much easier on the PS3.
    EDIT : Comment was written at the start of the video. I noticed you started using said exploit, without it everyone would have lost their sanity huh

    Most sequences were doable after a few tries, but my controller suffered from my rage on certain fights… as well as my finger after I hit the controller too hard (hurt it pretty bad)😅
    My tip for anybody is to always find cover, and if there’s none, run back to where you previously were and fight from a distance. Take your time, and don’t rush or else you’ll inevitably die. If you play using a TV screen (like me) then sit as close to it as possible, makes aiming easier. Always be wise about weapons and ammunition, this WILL contribute to your success in beating crushing.
