Yes you can people. You have about 10 min to solve the puzzle then you have an option to skip it.

It never took me that long so I was not given the option to.

Yeah, I think I fucked around looking at the stars in UC3 one time, and eventually it said "press <something> to solve this puzzle."
Yeah. Getting owned by an Uncharted "puzzle" is a low moment.
But then, some people are saying they have to take "an hour" on some encounters on Hard in UC2 and UC3 (and then poo-poo the action gameplay of the series)... also not good.

Lol good luck with UC4! I knew what to do and still couldn't get it. Granted I'd been playing for 7 hours straight at that point (now 8).

Looks like a sharpening filter.
Hahah that's new to me. You can't actually skip them as soon as you reach them though. You still have to wait a bit it seems.
Were you playing on easy, btw? Does the game solve them for you on all difficulties?

Hard. It prompted me on hard so I am sure it does on easy and quicker too obviously. Yeah after you suck at it long enough the game has mercy lol.
Uncharted 3 having so many puzzles is part of the reason I'm finding it so hard to be bothered finishing it. The pacing is such a disaster, I can only play it in 30-45 minute chunks before I get hopelessly bored.
I still have a week to force myself through the last half of it, but I'm not enjoying it at all. The setpieces are cool, but the pacing between them is wack. I enjoyed the Young Nate stuff at the beginning, but as soon as that was over I lost interest in the story.
I liked Uncharted 1 and 2 considerably more, I've always thought people were over-exaggerating about Uncharted 3, but it is easily the weakest in the series, for me.

Then 4 might not bode well for you as it has more puzzle elements in the first half much like 3. Though maybe you will enjoy the pacing better.
I mean it wasn't the best in the series but it's not that bad. Maybe the series is just not for you?
Edit:
Just saw your edit:
You liked 1 more than 3? That's honestly very surprising.
The puzzles in 3 feel like a brick wall to a game that is already moving at a snail's pace. I don't like the story, I don't like the combat, I don't like the moments of downtime, and the puzzles become frustrating, because it feels like I'm waiting for the game to get good and it just isn't (until a fleeting setpiece comes along and disappears like the wind).
I'm really not worried about Uncharted 4, because as long as I'm enjoying everything else, the puzzles don't bother me too much, like they didn't in Uncharted 1/2.
I like Uncharted 1 considerably more than 3.
I finished 1 again in a single sitting when The Nathan Drake Collection came out last year and had a pretty good time.
The story is better, the combat is better, the setting/location is better (I like how you really get to know the island over the course of the game), and the puzzles aren't annoying.
The first word that comes to mind to describe Uncharted 3 is "incoherent", which is not something I would say about the first two games.

yeah, uncharted 1 did not age well at all. The nostalgia I had for it went away rather quickly after replaying the remastered version.
U3=U2>>>>>U1
U3=U2>>>>>U1
I hate Chloe, so the very fact that Uncharted 1 is mostly about Nate/Elena/Sully is a HUGE plus in my book.
I'm about more than half way done with 4 so far and this how I'd rate the games.
Story:
UC3 > UC2 > UDF > UC4 = UGA
Gameplay:
UC4 > UC3 > UDF = UC2 > UGA
Puzzles:
UC4 = UC3 > UGA > UC2 > UDF
Something is not clicking with me regarding the story that I can't put my finger on.

U4 having a worse story than all the previous games would be a HUGE MASSIVE con in my opinion. Hopefully is not the case, I'm pretty confident is not.
Edit: Wait... what? U1 = U2 in terms of gameplay!? that's impossible, empirically impossible.

Hope not. Imagine if people meltdown because of a 9. That's a new low
Replaying the Nathan Drake collection, the gunplay and cover mechanics, for me, was better in UDF, but the melee and climbing was better in UC2.

Ak don't you be playing with me. You know the story is better than df
I didn't notice a difference in cover mechanics and wasn't Uncharted 1's gunplay changed to match Uncharted 2's in the Remaster?

Getting a little frustrated where I am. I'm playing on Hard and might go down to Normal. I feel like on Normal I will be able to use the new mechanics, specifically the rope, whereas right now I'm basically in cover 24/7 waiting for my health to regen.
It's way different from past Uncharteds. It started off really strong but now it's slogging a little bit.

AK I can't trust your opinion when you say stuff like that.

pls leave this thread
Do it
If you feel you will enjoy it more, that is the way you should play.
Edit: double post damn it
Thats a very hipster opinion. lol Still an opinion I guess. Ranking U3 over U2 story wise is just... very weird.

One thing I haven't bothered to think about, but did ND keep sticky cover in UC4?
I'm not a fan of sticky cover, much prefer free cover alas TLoU.

Cover looks pretty sticky to me.
The amount of physics objects never fails to make my jaw drop.
It's a random guy on YT not a publication. 30 minutes long. Pretty sure you will see new shit though.It's still there for now..
The 30fps concession was worth it.

Here is my take after finishing:
Story:
UC4 > UC2 > UC3 = UDF
Gameplay:
UC4 > UC2> UC3 > UDF
Puzzles:
UC4 = UC3 > UC2 > UDF
Set peices:
UC4 > UC3 = UC2 > UDF
Story:
UC4 > UC2 > UC3 = UDF
Gameplay:
UC4 > UC2> UC3 > UDF
Puzzles:
UC4 = UC3 > UC2 > UDF
Set peices:
UC4 > UC3 = UC2 > UDF
I'm okay with this. If the story and gameplay are top, I won't mind the puzzles.
