10 Popular Video Games You're Playing Wrong

5. Uncharted - Turn The Difficulty Down

Taking inspiration from the likes of Indiana Jones, Nathan Drake's globe-trotting adventures have been full of the high-flying spectacles you'd expect to see in the best action movies, but the series' spectacular combat has always been hindered by its difficulty.

Because, while you can jump out of cover, bring your thunderous fist down on a guy, grab his weapon in mid air and shoot someone behind you in one swift motion, there's a good chance you'll be riddled with bullets along the way.

Although there are occasions where you can pull off these exhilarating stunts, they never feel as smooth as they should, because even on normal difficulty, Naughty Dog force to you play Uncharted games like regular cover-shooters.

Consequently, being out in the open is pretty much a death sentence, which makes a lot of the cool mechanics included in the series, like the way you can shoot while bunnyhopping around ledges, effectively useless.

You can certainly still have fun on higher difficulties (it's not impossible, just annoying), but if you want to be the balls-to-the-wall action hero seen in the trailers i.e. the Nathan Drake as he's shown in the cutscenes, it's best to knock it down to easy.
