Play Uncharted 2 or 3 first?

Ive played the first game and I own Uncharted 3. However that game seems to get a lot of hatred for its pacing issues and Uncharted 2 is a masterpiece for the reason that it is paced so well.

Will playing UC2 first ruin UC3 or should I play UC3 to save the best for later?

I personally enjoyed Uncharted 3 just as much as Uncharted 2. I would play them in sequential order....

I would play 2 before 3. The storyline does progress through the trilogy, and I do think it would be better to play them in order.

I've been thinking about dusting these off and playing through them all again. Maybe that'll be my farewell to the PS3 marathon just before the new console comes out.

Play them in order. I prefer Uncharted 3 over 2. Way more insane things occur in that game. Pacing seemed fine by me. 

Loved Uncharted 2, favorite out of the 3 but i would still say play them in order or itll kinda ruin the story abit by being all over the place.

I honestly prefered 2 to 3 I'd play them in order not that it really matters

play them in order.

Take a dump first. 

There are no pacing issues whatsoever with either games. It would be unwise to play Uncharted 3 before Uncharted 2.

both games are fantastic, so might as well play in sequential order!

I'm just about done with UC3 (near the end of The Brass City), In the Yeti part/ice caverns of UC2, and still have to buy UC1. So, it looks like I'll finish them in reverse order.

UC 3 is a fantastic game. Just as good, if not better than 2. But yes, you should absolutely play them 2 before 3 because of story and character development.

I already played part of UC1 at a friend's. The gameplay mechanics seem about the same. If there are some differences, I didn't notice because they were easy to adjust for. The looks doesn't matter. UC1 looks good enough to me. I think the original gameplay mechanics of UC3 gave me a harder time before it got patched to resemble that of UC2. 

Anyway, I like completeness and the series won't be complete without UC1.

The gunplay does not feel as good when it comes to rapid firing weapons.  The handgun weapons always felt more accurate in the first game.  There are no stealth take downs, and the melee combat is clunky.  The cinematic scenes have a good bit of texture pop in when they first load up.  The whole game takes place in a jungle.  The crushing difficulty is completely insane.  Every gunfight takes place in a square like area.  All the bad guys jump down to your playing field and there are not that many instances of bad guys on roof tops or anything like that.  Uncharted 1 was great for its time, and it has aged ok, but the sequels definitely improved everything about the original.

I already played part of Drake's Fortune and have had the chance to see the so-called "flaws." They're still not enough to turn me off which means I'm still buying it. :lol:

I may buy it used. But, I'm buying it.

It's kind of like buying the books, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. Reading the latter may not appeal to me like the other two books. But, I still wanted it for completion.

As far as the mechanics of UC1 goes the worst is the grenade mechanic, which is gimmicky and uses the SixxAxis for aiming. F*ck it's stupid.

(On that note has any game made since like 2007, aside from those made by thatgamecompany, actually used the SixxAxis?)

Play 3 first so that you'll appreciate 2 more.JustPlainLucas

No, just no. Play them in order. 3 was better than 2 until the ending IMO.

No one is saying don't buy it. Just play it first because the other 2 make it like crap in gameplay and visuals.

To echo what has been said by many, it would be worth your while to play them in order. UC2 and UC3 are two of the very best games from this generation, in my opinion.

you should play them in order....Michael9087
