drahkon Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) Probably gonna buy this today, although I have SOOOOO MANY other games to finish...but after finishing Drake's Fortune - which I think is one of the best games I have ever played - I just need some more Uncharted. Edit: Great game. Haven't finished it yet (I'm at 62% or so). Seems to me that I have missed an awful lot of treasures...I only have 22 at the moment. But in this playthrough I actually can't be arsed to care about treasures. Online is also hugely fun. It's a shame that most players have a high level and I'm still at the bottom Edited November 19, 2009 by drahkon
MATtheHAT Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Free DLC this weekend, including a new Multiplayer Map amongst other things. http://www.destructoid.com/uncharted-2-gets-free-dlc-update-this-friday-156130.phtml
ReZourceman Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Awesome. My favourite online game. Ever?
dwarf Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Sorry, but what was so special about that video?
ReZourceman Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Sorry, but what was so special about that video? It shows the new map.
dwarf Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I know, but it doesn't even look good. Multiplayer is overrated.
Daft Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I'd hardly say it's overrated. I haven't seen that many people rate it.
dwarf Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I thought it's been pretty unanimous, well, at least there haven't been any negative comments about it.
MATtheHAT Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 The Multiplayer is fun, especially if you're playing with friends. I had some of the best Multiplayer nights ever playing with a party full of forum members. Although it does just tend to become a rush for the same weapon spawns, similar to Gears of War. With the person holding the Grenade Launcher or whatever being the one who usually ends up winning. It would have been better if it used custom load-outs or classes. Still, definitely gonna check out the new map. And Donut Drake FTW!
dwarf Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Is there a donut Lazaroveic? He already is a dohnut. And so are you
Happenstance Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 My god its a miracle, I finally finished a co-op mission without being disconnected
Cookyman Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 My god its a miracle, I finally finished a co-op mission without being disconnected Hurrah - party time : peace::p:D:laughing:
flameboy Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Hurrah - party time : peace::p:D:laughing: lol indeed...
spirited away Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Right, So I got this today and the update seems to be taking forever - like it's been 15 minutes and it's only on about 15%. This isn't normal, right?
spirited away Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Nope! What's your ID? Add me, Shadow-Point. Will do. This is painful, I just want to play!
Caris Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Probs the servers overloaded on Christmas day, everyone will be doing the same as you!
spirited away Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Right, so played the first 7 or 8 chapters of this and it truly is stunning. Daft seemed to laud it as the new benchmark of the medium (correct me if that's BS), and I can definitely see why. The voice-acting, lip syching, jaw-dropping cutscenes, incredible employment of lighting and camera angles define a really immersive experience. Gameplay-wise, does it tail-off, or is it this good throughout?
Caris Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 It's good all the way through, actually it gets better.

dwarf Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Well I think a few were of the opinion that the gunplay wore off a bit at the end but it's the same throughout so it's not as if it gets worse. Just don't get your hopes up for an epic boss.

The voice-acting, lip syching, jaw-dropping cutscenes, incredible employment of lighting and camera angles define a really immersive experience. Gameplay-wise, does it tail-off, or is it this good throughout? No, you're dead on. However the game isn't perfect and gameplay wise I would say it lulled three quarters through (I think I stopped playing it for a couple weeks - I do have a short attention span), but then picks up for the end...before an awful last boss as dwarf said. I actually didn't pick up on half the things I loved until my second play through. You'll probably notice just how brilliant it is when you play another game. It made Assassin's Creed II look and feel like crap.
tapedeck Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I agree about the game tailing off 3/4 into it. Primarily that was down to the mechanics becoming a tad repetitive before the final credits rolled. But if any single-player DLC was to be released I'd be there in a heartbeat. Speaks volumes in my opinion. It's a balance, if you go for less gunplay and more puzzles you essentially end up with Tomb Raider. I think the action elements of Uncharted are what makes this game stand up as the 'blockbuster' it aims to be. As with any epic - the journey is just as fun as the destination.
