Where's the best place to get
75 kills in a row and to get 200 kills with the Gau?

The part in chapter 23 were you cross a bridge (just after the building you're in gets half-destroyed by a dude with an RPG) has re-spawning enemies I think.
First one,AranhaHunter said:
the chapter where you carry Jeff
Second one,
either the chapter with the plaza or the village

Not sure about that. Pretty sureLiquid Helium said:
I killed them all before crossing the bridge during both my playthroughs
Okay, I'm pretty sure they do infinitely respawn. Unless 20-30 enemies piling out of a room is supposed to happen. When I rushed and got to where they were spawning from, that time I only fought about 8. So I said 'infinitely respawning' because usually when they aren't Nate or whomever he is with will comment like 'that's it' or something to that nature, and no matter how many I killed it didn't happen.
Actually that one doesn't.
says "I think that's all of them" and then you move forward. And on that part, it's only about 15 enemies excluding

Elena
snipers and RPG guy
Finished it on Crushing (and got my platinum) last night. Overall it's way easier than Crushing was on the first game (the segmented checkpoints in big firefights means there's nothing remotely as brutal as
from the first), but there were some parts that just royally pissed me off - the fights where QTEs are required (
and
) were terrible. The former took me probably an hour to do just because the timing of the QTE inputs are either off or ridiculously tight (I know exactly which button I need to press, and my reaction time isn't that bad), while the latter I ended up just cheesing by
.
the plane crash fight or the knee-deep water room fight
the boss on the train
the three guardians with Flynn
running around and climbing/jumping from the platforms instead of actually shooting them

Yup just beata train boss on Crushing and it took an hour. really cheap! at chapter 15 now. will finish tonight and tomorrow.
You're talking about the part right afterDMeisterJ said:
you get to the bottom floor of the tower where Elena told you to be subtle, right? As soon as you touch the bottom floor, part of the wall gets destroyed by a RPG missile, Elena joins you, and you have to kill people coming from a bridge with some dude sniping you and the RPG guy shooting missiles. Am I getting the part right? If yes, I'm pretty damn sure they're not infinitely respawning. They're just many.

I guess respawing enemies isn't so bad if you never notice it. I didn't on any of my playthroughs. The game makes it pretty easy to push forward past that invisible line, even on crushing. Unlike in Cod4 where it was very noticeable in a few spots.
In the part when you're
, I can understand why ND would put respawning enemies there. If you eliminate all the enemies in a spot, then you'll just get to stand there
and it will ruin the tension and suspense of the scene.

Joke post? @_@DevelopmentArrested said:
You don't have to have the right timing on those QTEs.gokieks said:
You can just mash square or triangle over and over when you know the inputs are coming up(when guardians tries to slam fist on you when your on ground, pound on triangle. When train dude grapples you, pound triangle. pound on square any other time basically)
First things first. This is my GOTY by far. Totally amazing all the way through.
There be spoilers.
But, just like the first one, I still don't get why there has to be a secret entrance triggered by several swithces, when the area you get to is in the open. You could just use a helicopter to get all the secret places
, without any ridlesolving.
If there is some sort of secret place, it has to be underground. It was the same in the first game. Drake spent all this time looking for clues and opening hidden doors. Which was totally useless because when you got there, the enemy was just using a helicopter to find it. None of the exploration is needed.
And the second problem, this is a problem very many games suffer from. When someone gets shoot in a video, it is critical, but when you play the game you can withstand several shoots. Like when you are transporting the videocam dude, atleast I was shoot again and again (and the cameraman dud aswell) but thats not a problem. Don't really know how they are going to fix this, but I still think it is a big problem for games.

Not very spoilerific but mark it as a spoiler to avoid problems.
I do know that, but Lazarovich had access to a helicopter, and thats why I don't know why he needed Flynn to help him solve all these riddles, when he would have found it if he just took a tripp with his helicopter. (I know he needed Drake to help him find the city where shambalha was located. So they did the whole searing for the treasure a bit more logical this time.) But as soon as they got to the Nepalian city. They could just fly over it to locate the "hidden" city.
gokieks said:
It might depend on difficulty setting. Watching my son playing on Very Easy I've noticed he never has to do that Triangle-counter move. Enemies simply don't perform the counter. Going from Hard to Crushing myself, I've noticed I had to be more accurate in timing in order to successfully perform a counter. I though it was just me never noticing it before on Hard, but it might also be a Crushing thing.
yeah one thing that struck me as odd was...

Shangrila or whatever it was, was underground, yet it clearly had open sky.. also, which is the same in tomb raider, how the fuck did all these ancient mayans create such amazing technology all these years ago, especially burning fires in caverns that have been empty hundreds of years
Well, (HEAVY SPOILERS)Ristlager said:
Shambala/Shangri-La - despite looking like it's in the open - is not an actual city between the Himalayan mountains, so they couldn't find it by helicopter (or else it would have been found long ago). It's supposed to be isolated from the outside world. The only way to reach it is the one they took, under the withered tree.
It's supposed to be exactly that.BeeDog said:

One of the most common (and almost practical) beliefs is that we are not originally from this world. There are so many technologically "impossible" things that were designed or built and now hide away in museums, private collections, or sit out in the open baffling logical thinkers.... like the great pyramidspainey said:
In fact, the crystal skulls from Indy 4 (which are based on the real thing) are incredibly difficult to replicate even with today's equipment. The next best thing is crystal skull vodka, or whatnot...

About playing on crushing and playing on normal, I think both have their pros and cons.
I love the challenge of crushing (and it applies to other games like elite on KZ2). Every move counts, good cover spots are important, and getting the stealth right can save you a nightmare. You don't have a lot of time to look out from cover so you need very good aim and need to pop off guys in rapid succession. Doing that with the DE, Wes and sniper rifle is very satisfying. I enjoy the challenge and tension of only being allowed very few mistakes, and I actually like when I get to a tough part where I start to die a lot and say to myself: "shit, am I gonna be able to get past this?" And when I finally do, it's very rewarding.
But then, some people might find that tedious. You spend a lot of time just hiding behind one cover spot and the gameplay is very static. On normal, you have more freedom. You can jump out from cover and run around and have fun, stealth a guy, steel fist another one, blast the next guy with shotgun. The looser gameplay is less tense but it's fun in it's own way. Plus, in this game narrative flow is important, so dying a lot may hurt the immersion and take you out of the story a bit.

Thank you very much.TTP said:
1) chapter 4Liquid Helium said:
(after you get to the hut) on very easy, make combos with one gunshot and one fist (be quick, they must be chained). Be careful not to punch another guy that might be too close to the one you shot
(I think? the one where you reach the hotel) when Chloe's trapped inside the elevator and you must free her. You will eventually jump to another building and hang to a window. If you wait a bit, three soldiers will come out and look outside. A well-aimed grenade will kill all three at the same time. After you kill them, fall down to death. Rinse, repeat till you get the trophy.

Wow, I just beat it on normal, I am so sad that it's over. I liked the first Uncharted plenty and thought it was a bit underrated, but I never expected this sequel to be nearly as good as it is. This game sets a new standard in the industry, one that many games will try to achieve and fail in doing so. The best part is that the game is truly enjoyable, and there's so much more to do, more to see and I'm not even thinking about the multiplayer yet. 21/20

Urgh froze while restarting checkpoint while farming for SAS trophies.
oh and 200 GAU-19 kills is fucking lame.
You got to sass it!

To me hard is the sweet spot. Neither too easy nor too impossible, it gives you room to experiment but at the same time it's always challenging. Simply awesome.Amir0x said:

You're right I've actually only played through it on hard and crushing, but I did put it on easy a few times after I beat it to go back and get a few trophies. As fun as it is, I much prefer to have that tension of crushing and hard.
TTP said:
The timing definitely changes depending on the difficulty setting. I played it through on Hard the first time, and that fight only took me maybe 3 tries. Crushing took, as I mentioned earlier, the better part of an hour even, and I even knew going into it what I needed to do.
