So is there anything replay-wise keeping this game from being a rental? I rented the original and blasted through it just fine. Ditto for Batman this year. I suck at keeping track of time, but 20 hours seems much longer than both of those were.

So people who loved Uncharted 2 have bad taste?
I'd be willing to get a tag which says "Loves bad games" if it links to the Uncharted 2 Official Thread, especially if it links to my post in the OP with the collection of GAF reactions. *Draws line in the sand*

Yeah probably, but still... hating on Uncharted 2? C'mon now :lol :lol
Edit: Reposting from earlier in this thread... PLEASE HELP!!!
iamcool388 said:NEED HELP!!!
This is the part right after the second time you play as Desmond... i.e. the first time you have woken up from the animus... <Heavy spoilers start here>He does the task of checking his skills and he has picked them up well from Ezio... then when he is going back upstairs... he is transported to Acre... as Altair.
I follow the guy I am supposed to follow till the corner tower... then I climb up the tower (he shuts the door) and get on a little platform with a door halfway up the tower. Just above that door is a ledge with a lantern hanging from it... am I supposed to climb that? I apparently cant climb on it... and dont see any other places where I can climb up.
How do I finish that part... please help!!

Jump on the ledge (either the one on the right or left) and face then jump up onto the post. It's tricky because you have to face in a direction without actually moving off of the ledge before jumping to the post
Holy shit though, this game is fucking awesome. So much more polished and fleshed out. I'm going to be getting EVERYTHING.
When I found my first "truth" I was like OMFG this is AWESOME, I didn't even know about that part of the story.

Dude, as a gamer who's into both franchises, you most likely HAVE to experience both - so while Uncharted 2 will go down as one of the best games of all time - maybe you'd be in the mood for the "Assassin's Creed universe" instead. So go for what you're in the mood for thematically, and then follow up with the other game

I'm in the mood for both, actually. I really want to play Uncharted 2 first, but I'm afraid it'll ruin my future gamingexperiences as it will set the quality-bar to unsurmountable heights.
Didn't really like the first one (rented it and could only play for a couple hours) but this one looks awesome. So my question is, will reading the plot summary on wiki be enough to give me full satisfaction of ACII? Or will I still feel like I'm out of the loop in regards to what is going on?

Costanza said:ughhh Amazon hasn't moved my copy into the shipping stage yet
edit: Yay, there it goes!
Gah. Amazon won't give me release date delivery as a shipping option, even though it says it's an option on the item page. =(
I really don't want to go to Best Buy...I have $20 credit from MW2 to spend here, people!

It's much cheaper on Amazon (discounts from previous games this Fall, no tax, don't have to spend time driving to the store, etc...)Solo said:
Im not saying Amazon is bad or anything - I use it all the time for books, Blurays, etc. Im just saying that for you guys dying to have New Game X on day one, rather than sitting there refreshing Amazon/checking your tracking every 5 minutes, its a hell of a lot easier to just head over to your local Best Buy/Futureshop/whatever and just pick it up.
I use Amazon for a ton of shit, including games, but not for big ones that I want right away.

Not sure if anyone can answer this since it hasn't technically released yet but maybe those with early copies or are very familiar with the game could answer:
Is it possible to get all achievements/trophies on one play through? Are there certain ones that have to be done at specific times (for example, getting most of those glitches in the cuscenes in the original or speaking to that girl every time).
Ultimately I would love to play through the game and then go back and get any achievements I missed. Hopefully this is possible on one playthrough and I won't have to start a new game.
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any replies.

I always do it the monday before release--has never failed until now. =[
Oh well, may just have to settle for Wednesday.
Solo said:
What, no way. I can (normally) go to Amazon on a Monday, spend the same or less than I would at a retail store (no tax, but $5 shipping), and have the game waiting for me when I get off work on Tuesday. It's amazing. Plus you get the incentives--which have netted me about $100 in savings this season.

Actually there is ONE achievement that is possible to miss that I know of. I can't garanty you 100% it's the only one but I think is.
************ WARNING -- REAL SPOILERS *****************
When you'll be at the flying machine mission, there's an achievement for kicking a military while you fly. If you don't do it in that mission, you will not be able to do it later.

I played the first game for about 20 minutes, and it didn't really grab me.
For some reason however, I think I'll be grabbing this tomorrow.
Sounds like they built a more fleshed-out game this time, which sounds great.
Anything to give me a break from the punishment of Demon's Souls.
