videogamesplus.ca .. doubt he'll get it until tuesday (i hope not !!)WinFonda said:
I am constantly floored at how awesome this game looks. The detail is ridiculous. The shooting/grappling/climbing physics and controls leave a lot to be desired, but they're more than serviceable.
The action sequences are just unbelievable. Every few minutes, I literally pause to look around and remind myself how much better this game looks than anything we had five years ago. It's staggering.
It's too bad so much of the dialogue is Hollywood ham crap. There are some great edgy lines here and there, but so much snoozefest garbage too. More than tolerable however; it really feels like taking part in a Hollywood blockbuster more than anything.
How was Uncharted 1 when it came to linearity and replay value?
I know I sound like I'm complaining. I'm really quite happy; this shit is amazing, and is so visually intense that it evens itself out for all its shortcomings.

I remember people said that all the time about Uncharted 1 but I wasn't very impressed. Maybe it's because I had read a year's worth of hype by the time I saw the game. Uncharted 1 is definitely one of the better looking games out there, but it never blew me away or anything.
I am really hoping that Uncharted 2 really is that much prettier than Uncharted 1 because after hearing constantly about it, my expectations are somewhat elevated. I haven't been blown away by graphics in a long time, and I really miss that feeling.

Man, just looking at thread makes me wish I lost in the LA tournament. I want to play this game so bad.
Magnus said:
It was basically the same game no matter what you did, but it had a lot of replay value. As you play it on the harder difficulties, your tactics are forced to change and it feels like a new experience. There are also treasures to collect, and trophies. I beat the game three times, and that's not strange. Easily squeeze ~25 hours out of the game since Crushing is so... crushing.
This one promises to be much the same, but with the addition of co-op and multiplayer, it's obviously got something more, and as it's a longer game each playthrough will be longer.

UGH. The more collectibles there are, the less motivation there is to get them legitimately instead of looking up a map online. Especially in a linear game where missing one requires you to replay an entire level.
Does it at least indicate which chapters are still missing treasures?

I just finished playing some coop with a friend of mine. He's a big COD guy and is reluctant to play any other game (maybe except Madden). I kept trying to convince him to play the first Uncharted but he was all about the multi. Well today I managed to get him to install the Uncharted 2 demo and he really enjoyed it, so much he made it sound like he was going to purchase it. We first started off with the Coop mode, and he got a kick out of the cover system and climbing. His words were "wow, I can get used to this. Is the entire game like this?!" I had to break the news to him ("This is just a small taste my friend"). We then played the treasure coop mode, and he was excited about the prospect of playing that mode with other people online. We then met up with another friend of mine to play some deathmatch, and I know he had a lot of fun scaling the glaciers and rope ladders in the ice level. I know I've convinced one person to pick up the retail copy, and that's only after he played the demo for two hours! Some people, like my friend, are so afraid to try out new games. Among my friends, they think all they need are two games like COD and Madden, but they don't know what they're missing out on.

Hey, add me aswell. You'll find my PSN name in my profile.
I don't care about K/D-ratio at all, so we could hook up a custom game, and we'll run around (I'll play as good as possible) and let you try to catch me until it's stuck in your spine.
I am quite a slippery bastard, so it can be interesting.
Don't have a mic though. =/
just finished chapter 11 before bed tonight.. game is utterly amazing, graphics are unreal
with the orchestrated cinematic soundtrack thrown in along with the great writing and witty banter

Okay, I've got a question for you GAF (and for those lucky bastards who have the game already)
I just finished a playthrough of the original UC (as a warmup for UC2 and to verify it working correctly with FW 3.01; worked flawlessly after I deleted my saves and data and started fresh) on Hard. I was surprised just how well I breezed through the game with little trouble.
I'm going to assume the difficulty's about the same right? (Easy, Normal, Hard, with Crushing unlocked after Hard completion) So should my first playthrough be on Hard, or do you think that would sour my first experience with the game?

Wario mentioned a few days ago that if you could handle Hard in UC1 then Hard in UC2 shouldn't be an issue.
I'm probably going to play through on Hard mode to start with.

Well, it's not perfect perfect. GD vindicated.
Anyway, was wondering if this game has worldwide servers and that I can play with the Japanese game/console with any friends in Europe? I know this is not 2007 and stupid region locked servers, but want to make sure.
I have a JPN console and had no trouble playing the beta with friends in the UK, so I don't think there should be any issues.dofry said:Well, it's not perfect perfect. GD vindicated.

One bug I noticed was if you keep killing enemies and they drop on each other...the pile up can cause problems - like all the bodies explode into the air spontaneously loldofry said:Well, it's not perfect perfect. GD vindicated.

hmm... good point :loldeepbrown said:No do Normal, then Hard, then Crushing. That way you get three play throughs
I'll probably end up playing it more than three times anyway, to be honest
