History YMMV / Uncharted

** The finale on [[spoiler: Navarro's cargo ship. The enemies are behind indestructible cover while the cover you are given is not. They're at a range where then can kill you almost immediately. You are not given any grenades. And through it all, Navarro himself is invincible and popping shots off at you with a one-hit kill rapid-fire shotgun.]]

** Also, Nathan Drake is the only actual treasure hunter in the series. The primary plot of ''both'' games is the bad guys following Drake around while he figures out the puzzles and then [[MacGuffinDeliveryService swooping in with guns and stealing the prizes]]. Everyone else is just an uneducated thug who steals what the American works hard for.

** [[spoiler: Sully's "death"]] in Uncharted 3. Mostly because of the facial espressions and abrubtness of it.

* {{Waggle}}: The first game forces you to control the throwing distance of the grenades with the SIXAXIS function of the controller...making placing grenades quite awkward. Luckily, this was made optional in the sequel.

** In Uncharted 3, players are treated two [[spoiler: MindScrews and spiders, thousands upon thousands of killer spiders]]

* {{Waggle}}: The first game forces you to control the throwing distance of the grenades with the SIXAXIS function of the controller...making placing grenades quite awkward. Luckily, this was made optional in the sequel.
* For a real life CrowningMomentOfAwesome, who does Sony get to advertise the game in Japan? [[IndianaJones Harrison Ford]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[http://bitmob.com/articles/nathan-drake-is-the-most-sadistic-protagonist-ever Nathan Drake is the Most Sadistic Protagonist Ever]]
* BrokenBase: Virtually everyone agrees the games are solid, but many also argue that they are [[SoOkayItsAverage overrated]] and that other games have executed its style of gameplay better.

* UnfortunateImplications: All the {{Mooks}} in ''both'' games are ethnic minorities. Somewhat appropriate, as they're [[GangOfHats Gangs Of Hats]] -- Eddy Raja's [[RuthlessModernPiratates Indonesian]] {{pirates}} and Lazaravich's [[PrivateMilitaryContractors private army]] of Serbians. Even in the first game, [[spoiler:the BigBad was apparently the white and British Roman, but is killed later by his [[TheDragon Dragon]], Atoq Nevarro.]] In the second game, Drake's partners -- who are British and Australian -- [[spoiler: both betray him at least once, but at least the latter's just pretending]], and [[spoiler:[[ThoseWackyNazis Schafer was a Nazi]] who [[PragmaticVillainy balked at turning his countrymen into Guardians]]]] .

* UnfortunateImplications: All the {{Mooks}} in ''both'' games are ethnic minorities.

* SpiritualLicensee: There are no objections to saying that this is the best ''IndianaJones'' game ever.

* CompleteMonster: Zoran Lazarevic, the BigBad of ''Among Thieves''. To illustrate this point, when Drake attempts a PutDownYourGunAndStepAway on Lazarevic by taking one of his men hostage, Lazarevic laughs and shoots the hostage in the head after starting a speech in which he declares that AdolfHitler, JosefStalin, GenghisKhan and Pol Pot were "all great men." Yeah, he's that kind of guy.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[ChipCheezum General Ironicus]] kept insisting during Chip Cheezum's LetsPlay of ''Drake's Fortune'' that Nate was going to England (due to the map coordinates UK2642 found in Chapter 3). It becomes much funnier when it was revealed that the primary anatgonist/{{Mook}}s in ''Uncharted 3'' are British.

** Occasionally, the eyes look incredibly creepy.
* UnfortunateImplications: All the {{Mooks}} in ''both'' games are ethnic minorities. Somewhat appropriate, as they're [[GangOfHats Gangs Of Hats]] -- Eddy Raja's [[ADisgraceToBlackbeard Indonesian]] {{pirates}} and Lazaravich's [[PrivateMilitaryContractors private army]] of Serbians.
** ''Slightly'' averted in the first game -- EvilBrit Gabriel Roman [[spoiler:is easily dispatched by his NotSoHarmless [[TheDragon Dragon]], Atoq Navarro, who was the only guy who knew about TheVirus. [[CompleteMonster And wanted to sell it as a biological weapon.]]]] Hey, I did say ''slightly''. In the second game, Drake's partners -- who are British and Australian -- [[spoiler: both betray him at least once, but at least the latter's just pretending]], and [[spoiler:[[ThoseWackyNazis Schafer was a Nazi]] who [[PragmaticVillainy balked at turning his countrymen into Guardians]]]] .

* ChaoticGood: A lot of the cast, Nathan Drake of course being the prime example of the alignment.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Many times in ''Among Thieves'', but the shining star is [[spoiler:when Elena asks Nate how scared he was that she was going to die on a scale of one to ten.]] And Nate's [[SandInMyEyes denial that he cried]].
** '''¡SKELZOR!'''
** "How the hell am I supposed to take out a h[[LastSecondWordSwap ELL]][[GatlingGood oooooo!]]"
*** Earlier in the same level, as Nate is trying to avoid being massacred by an honest-to-god fully-armed Hind D, he comes across some weapons.
---> '''Nate''': Oh, great, ammo. '''''[[SarcasmMode THAT'LL HELP!]]'''''
*** And then immediately after, as Mooks come to attack him.
---> '''Nate''': ''Can't you assholes see the '''helicopter'''? I HAVE ENOUGH [[PrecisionFStrike SHIT]] TO DEAL WITH!''
** "Do you have a plan to go with that grenade?"
** [[spoiler: Nate's hand puppet show after getting put in jail in the second game.]]
** "There's a guy above you, there's a guy above you!" * Drake tosses guard off roof* "There's a guy below you, there's a guy below you!"
** Nate griping about anything and everything while [[spoiler:climbing up the train]] in Chapter 15.
** As an addendum to the first bit, Drake reveals in said scene what he uses as a "ten" baseline on the Fright Scale:
--->'''Drake, in a completely serious voice''': "[[MonsterClown Clowns]]".
