And now I'm worried about how my dual radeon 6950s will deal with this. In general, if there is anything that could go wrong, it will. That and my slow hard drive tends to run into stutter issues with open worldish games.

The post that hurts the most. I'll take you out for a meal with Mr and Mrs Pain, order up some violent quiche.

The game is unequivocally better than UC3, which was a complete regression on all fronts. Dat aiming.
"Good" story, though? I thought it was effin' idiotic, but then again, I think that of 90% of video game stories. Devs just don't focus on that these days, nor should they, I guess. It is a game after all (Heavy Rain and LA Noire, I'm looking at you, you pieces of poo).

Apparently it's slightly blurrier than the PS3 version due to the anti-aliasing used, but that's based on YouTube comparison videos. I haven't played either, but people who have say they both look great.

If you can wait for digital foundry, that would be your best bet.
If they don't focus on making the story worthwhile they also shouldn't be shoving it down peoples' throats via cutscenes and scripted events. There's a place for both narrative- and mechanics-driven games, but you should have a good reason for taking away control from the player at any given time.
But I agree with you o_o UC2 is incredibly overrated and its campaign drags on and on and on like an irritating screaming child who refuses to stop screaming until he damn well feels like stopping.

TressFX was obviousley more optimized for Radeon users. They dont have very large performance hit [their GPU has more Direct Compute capabilities] and there are no bugs [flickering, ignoring shoulders].
I think that you will get bugflix for that flickering, but preformance hit will stay because nVidia cards did not focus this time much on DC.
With 20mbits you can download more than 6-7 gigs per hour if the server has that much bandwith.
No, but Gaben may cut your throat while you sleep.

My game is crashing every 30 feet. I'm installing the latest beta-driver, but it sounds like this is a common theme. My 680 should own this.
Arkham City was insane with its secrets... 2/7465468 Riddler Challenges complete.

Just settled into some quality time with Arkham City in the past week, and its now in my top 5 games of the generation. Fucking amazing, stellar game.
Going from Arkham to Moany McMurder-lass is going to be... interesting.
Youre fuckin nuts dude =P
I had my friend knock out all that augmented reality flying shit. Way too frustrating for the last two.
Played for a bit more than one hour. Gorgeous game and superb animations. The landscapes and atmosphere are great . Even though I knew the first hour I still enjoyed it a lot simply because Lara is a joy to control. I've only played Uncharted 3 and Uncharted 2's demo but so far the controls are a lot better in Tomb Raider. Simply jumping is fun. Being able to control your character mid-jump should be mandatory. Plus, while still early I can already see there's actual exploration here. Small hubs > Corridors.
And Im the same way and I know exactly why.
I played them back to back. 1 first and then 2.
By 2 I was kind of burned out which dampened my enjoyment out of it.
I played it again over the summer and I still felt the same way.
For me it's 1>3>2
Fuck, you guys are gonna kill me...

Er..what? The augmented flying was like flying a plane in Diddy Kong racing. Insanely easy. The entire plat was easy. The hardest time I had was lining up some of the ?'s for the detective mode picture. It sucked that they basically repeated the challenge maps twice. Pretty meh plat.
In comparison though, Tomb Raider looks like it will be even easier, just with some mp fun involved.
I didn't exactly play it back to back, about 6 months apart, but I had essentially the same reason. Why I purposely spaced out Infamous 2 and only played it this past week. And I thought that was shit compared to 1 as well lol. Also why I've purposely put off UC3 until now. Especially with that copy and paste trophy list. Same. fucking. game. If I got TR it'd be to fill the void of UC3.
We're about to witness a NeoGAF crucifixion.
I have little opinion about the Uncharted franchise, though. I beat 1 at release and thought it was pretty decent. Got bored of 2 halfway through, and wasn't even cognitively aware that a third game existed until long after it came out.
Just never really did anything for me.
Nooooooooooooo lol
There is one thing I like about Uncharted 2 above the others and it isnt a Chapter or weapon or enemy. It's a cutscene. The one where Drake and Elena are up in the mountains and Nate is totally ready to throw in the towel. It's a real "Fuck this, I'm going home" type of scene and the other two games never showed this side of him. Loved that part.

Is it just me or is Lara a fucking arsonist? Fire solves everything, EVERYTHING. Often she doesn't even know what she is doing "so... What now? Oh yeah, let me put even more fire under here to crash it all down so i can just on it!"
LMAO. Awesome! I know that feel.
Loving the game so far! Exploring is great, and I've been doing a lot of it. Jumping is well done and love that you can control your direction mid-air. Started using a 360 controller, but aiming/bow-murder started to become more common so I've switched to KB+M and I find it controls rather well that way.
