Chris the great Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 im loving it so far, i think im on chapter 17. dont think ive played a game so well made in ages. currently, its my game of this console generation.
Caris Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I take back what I said yesterday about preferring Uncharted Drakes Fortune, going through it again now and it's amazing. Think I rushed it yesterday, didn't take it all in.
LegoMan1031 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Well once again my copy didn't arrive today. GAME sent me a e-mail saying it was dispatched on Tuesday as well...
Happenstance Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Id say this is gonna be hard to beat now for my game of the year, at the moment its up there for game of the generation.
MATtheHAT Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Charted! - Hard Trophy get. Now to run through on Crushing, and go treasure hunting, and do some more co-op, and get into multiplayer, and...... God this game is so good. It was a bit weird seeing Bungie in the end credits though.
Happenstance Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 What did you think of the final boss fight then?
MATtheHAT Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 It was OK. As good as any other boss fight I suppose. It did get annoying the first few attempts, he was just making me his bitch. But once I figured a 'route', he was a pushover. He's gonna be nails on crushing though *shudders*

MATtheHAT Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Luckily you'll prolly have unlimited ammo and slow-mo by then :grin: I have, but you can only use it for the difficulty setting you have already completed it on. Unfortunately.
flameboy Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I have got my copy only problem is I'm work till 5! But will be straight on with this when I get home...so what difficulty would people recommend to start on? considering I very well do a second playthrough...yet to on the first one for trophies actually.
ShavenWolf Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I'm getting this today as a leaving/promotion present from work! Waaaaaay!! Probably going to play it though on easy first myself, so I can plough through the story without the frustration of repeated deaths, before I read any spoilers and because my girlfriend really liked watching the first game. Then I'll probably go through again on hard.

Hard. Its not too bad, you can still absorb a bit of gunfire. Plus if you get really stuck you can just drop the difficulty down from the stage select screen.
LegoMan1031 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 It's finally arrived!!!!! Fucking royal mail. It was dispatched on tuesday 1st class for gods sake!!!!!
Hero-of-Time Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Hard. Its not too bad, you can still absorb a bit of gunfire. Plus if you get really stuck you can just drop the difficulty down from the stage select screen. Yeah thats what ive started it on and its been no trouble so far. I was on nightshift last night, finished at 6am and went straight to 24 hour ASDA to pick this up. I grabbed a McDonalds breakfast and then came back home and started playing and ive just stopped playing it now. Im well knackered
Caris Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Any tips on how to get the 50 stealth kills and also the Trophy for killing 10 people with melee attacks after softening then up with gunfire? Anyone?
Ganepark32 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Picked it up at about 12pm and played for about 2 hours or so. Up to Nepal, chapter 5 or something, so that may seem slow but I like to get a good look around the levels and have been trying to find the treasures. So my synopsis so far: looks great (bought a HDMI cable just for it although it only outputs in 720p and not 1080p), plays well (although some of the little niggles I was worried about are there), controls are alright but the camera controls suck if you touch that right stick for looking around. But yeh, probably the best thing that I've played on my PS3 since I got it. Playing it on normal as this is the first time I've played a third person shooter on the PS3 so want to get used to it on that difficulty before upping it. Might take a dip into the multiplayer this evening if I can be bothered but when I have this, Brutal Legend and Dead Space Extraction to play through on the 3 consoles, each really has to get its turn. If I increase the difficulty midway through playing the single player, do I get the trophy for playing on that increased difficulty or do you only get the trophy for the difficulty you started on instead of what you changed to?
Aimless Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Any tips on how to get the 50 stealth kills and also the Trophy for killing 10 people with melee attacks after softening then up with gunfire? Run up behind enemies and press Square to stealth kill; it won't work on the heavily armoured guys with face masks or minigun-toting basketball players. Dragging people off ledges — press Square when they're standing above you whilst hanging — and corner takedowns — press, you guessed it, Square when in cover and an enemy is patrolling near you — should count towards the Trophy as well. To soften enemies up just run towards them whilst tapping R1 to fire a few shots into them then follow the lead up with an iron first. If you do it right you'll knock them down in a single punch/kick rather getting into a two-way fight. The difficulty you're playing on will affect how many bullets enemies can take, so just try to get a feel for how much punishment you need to dish out before going in for the kill. If I increase the difficulty midway through playing the single player, do I get the trophy for playing on that increased difficulty or do you only get the trophy for the difficulty you started on instead of what you changed to? It keeps track of the highest difficulty upon which you've completed each Chapter, so if you did switch up midway through the game you would have to replay the earlier levels on that difficulty to unlock the appropriate completion Trophy. It says in the selection menu the difficulty at which you've finished a Chapter so you don't have to keep track yourself.
Chris the great Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 finnished it, loved it. cant imagine a more cinematic game. already excited for the 3rd instalment.

Anyone? Also, with the stealth kills. If you load up chapter 2 (the museum heist) there are a lot of stealth kills in there. Just get to a point where there is four or five people to stealth kill, then reload the checkpoint when the enemies have been stealthily despatched. Keep doing that until the trophy pops.

Same goes for weapon trophies. Reload checkpoint = WIN
S.C.G Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Picked up this beast today, gonna start playing it naow! ------------------------------------------------------ Third Chapter in, this game is excellent, loving it more than the original so far.
Domstercool Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I finished this last night. My god... This is one of the best games I have ever played. I'd say it's the best game this generation, with maybe only Mario Galaxy in the same area. Everything about it is full of polish and love. The animation is bloody fantastic, it has exceptional voice over work and the characters are so well portrayed that you get attached to them. ARRGGHH! It's just crazily good. The levels are fantastic and it manages to mix up elements better this time than the first game. Man there's so many "holy fucking awesome" moments. I just... Man Naughty Dog just made one hell of a game.
flameboy Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Well started it and love it! Only played about 40 mins but everything about it already is awesome but up a notch. The core gameplay is still there but with better graphics, better story telling and more besides. One thing that struck me about the first game which I said on here alot is how organic and real the world seems. You don't feel like you are jumping around a world that has been constructed simply for platforming game mechanics, you feel like you are in a fully breathing world with real buildings, environments and situations (in case of the opening climbing part of the game) that just happen to be in a video game. It's something naughty dog have really nailed and not sure how many other games if any have done it as well...
Hero-of-Time Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I've just finished it and all I can say is EPIC! Mario Galaxy? *shrugs shoulders* Call of Duty 4? meh. Halo 3? pfft. All of these games simply cannot touch Uncharted 2 in anyway, shape or form its simply that good. Everything has been polished to perfection and its set a standard that honestly I don't think many developers will be able to match let alone beat this. When playing this game I was completely drawn into the world of Drake. The music, which is one of the best soundtracks I have heard in a game, really sets the tone for each enviroment you are in. The graphics are simply second to none with everything looking stunning. The story and voice acting are amazing and the quailty of the work really helps you care for the characters. This is game making of the highest order. This is what I wanted from this generation of gaming, a game that can deliver on all fronts. You don't need no motion controls to immerse yourself in a game, you need a team of developers you care about their product and set themselves a high standard and then meet that standard and then some. Naughty Gods indeed! Im off to mop up my final kill trophies on the easiest difficulty and then I will start Crushing mode! Bring on the pain. Oh one last thing....Clowns LOL.
MATtheHAT Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Oh one last thing....Clowns LOL. I LOL'd at that as well. You in on some NE multiplayer tonight?
