Happenstance Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Im sorry but this game is just stupidly beautiful, I know we saw a lot of it in videos but playing and looking over Nepal is brilliant.
Cookyman Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Update - half way through Chapter 5 and it just gets better and better. The action never lets up and the set pieces are incredible.
MATtheHAT Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Its a bit dissapointing..... JOKE....ITS INCREDIBLE!
Ganepark32 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I'd suspect the reason people are getting their copies today is because apparently the Uncharted 2/PS3 bundle hit the shelves today. At least that's what I've been told. Could be wrong but it would sort of explain why copies have been sent out slightly earlier than usual. I've not made my mind up on this. Reviews are great for it and it does look good but I'm getting the same feeling from this that I got from Gears of War before I took the plunge. It'll be something that'll undoubtedly grow on me should I get it though. Hmmm.... I do have a large pile of games that I'm trading in tomorrow to have credit for Brutal Legend and perhaps Borderlands so maybe I'll just pick this up along with a HDMI cable because it looks fantastic in HD from what I've seen.

Just buy the damn thing - you'll love it
Chuck Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Haha, Uncharted 2 has Twitter support. Did you not hear? There was a big debate. It was automatic and everytime a level was completed it posted stats on twitter. People were getting annoyed just when it was being reviewed, imagine everybody posting at the same time... So they turned it off, at least the automatic posts, I think.
Owen Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Its a bit dissapointing..... JOKE....ITS INCREDIBLE! I was just about to say....you must be mad! haha Stunning game, controls amazingly and is immense fun!
Aimless Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Reviews are great for it and it does look good but I'm getting the same feeling from this that I got from Gears of War before I took the plunge. What do you mean by this? As for lots of people — but not me, typically — getting their copies early, the game is actually out in mainland Europe today. The Royal Mail strikes also means that publishers are less likely to throw a hissy fit if retailers ship the game a day or two earlier than usual.
Ganepark32 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 ^ By that, I was meaning that there's something about the gameplay that's putting me off slightly, just as it was when I was contemplating GoW that things about the gameplay were putting me off of getting it. It's only a small point though and I'll probably be getting it anyway. I'll have in store credit and apart from Brutal Legend, there isn't anything else out in the immediate future that I want on the PS3 so I think it's a good buy.
Happenstance Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Im up to Chapter 10 at the moment I think, still loving every minute of it
dwarf Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Is this game going to be a 1 sitting affair because it's so good? I'll probably buy it next week.

I personally I think the combat in Uncharted 2 is a lot better than Gears, despite their ostensible similarities. Both are largely cover-based, but I far prefer the feel of controlling Nathan Drake over Marcus Fenix. With the latter it's more like I'm driving rather than controlling a bi-pedal person and the added freedoms of Uncharted — climbing scenery, shooting whilst hanging, sneaking up on dudes and breaking their necks, etcetera — leave me feeling that I always have options other than "cower behind this piece of cover until everything's dead". To me it's a bit like the difference between Halo and other first-person shooters, the real magic of Bungie's game being that you always have multiple means of attack — shoot, grenade, melee — instantly accessible at all times, allowing you to switch things up at a half-second's notice and take on the same situation's differently each time. Blah, blah, blah. I know that was rather tangential but I'm pretty much just sat here waiting for tomorrow at this point.
m_fergy Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Got the game today but wont be able to play till thur night stupid work !!! Sounds great tho from the comments iv read
Caris Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) I hate it when review say "It will take you 12 hours to play through for the average gamer" when infact it's much shorter. It really really annoys me. Edited October 14, 2009 by Caris

Caris Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Nah, but I would say it's about the same length as the original providing I don't encounter any super long chapters. I don't have a problem with it, I just have a problem with reviewers saying games are longer than they are.
dwarf Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Yeah but I wouldn't say you're an average gamer. Nice avatar btw.
Happenstance Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Its definately not 12 hours, im expecting to finish it around 8, im already on chapter 15
dwarf Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Anyone tell me how many more T: DM multiplayer maps there are? There were 4 in the beta I think, (Ice, Temple, Village and Plaza) other good ones?
Happenstance Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Are any of you playing on Hard difficulty? Im playing it through on Normal first
Chuck Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I've just finished Drake's Fortune on Hard and went straight to Among Thieves. Got $100,000 to spend in the store for doing that. Looks alot better so far.
Happenstance Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Up to chapter 24 now, think its time the PS3 got turned off for the day as its been running since about 12:30. Shouldnt take me long to finish tomorrow, although I did keep dying on a few bits in chapter 23 until I figured them out.
Caris Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Finished Uncharted 2, took me 9 hours 47 minutes on Easy. Defiantly longer than the first, I take back what I said before. Amazed by the game, the polish to everything is unbelievable. Although looking back it's weird, Uncharted 2's single player is better than Drakes Fortune in every single way but I think I preferred the originals for some reason. Don't get me wrong 2 is amazing in every way and possibly my GOTY but I think I just preferred the setting of a Island over what places you visit in Among Thieves. Anyways, co-op time!
Happenstance Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Just finished the game on normal, completed it in 9 hours 53 so longer than the 8 hours I predicted earlier in the thread. Loved nearly all of the game, my only complaint was the end boss battle It just felt repetetive, running around in circles shooting the resin Also did anyone catch the nod to the first game, in Napal I think when: You have to turn the power back on to get Chloe out of the elevator and you mention something about the power being off and there had better not be any undead zombies around the corner
