I'm a new breed of troll. The kind that keeps on playing a game I hate just to moan and bitch about it.ascii42 said:

Gamespot doesn't release their review until one month later.Yoboman said:
Just had an epic finish to a plunder match on ice cave. My team was getting owned badly so they all left the game except myself. I stuck around so I could get my cash and screw around. I decided to hang onto one of the ledges outside at the opposing teams spawn and just pistol kill people when they least expected it. I managed to get 1 guy while he was climbing one of the ladders. Then the last 4 guys came running back with the statue, I had a small window of opportunity to head shot 1 of the guys but I missed! Obviously this revealed myself and 3 of them ran towards me gunning at me, I don't know how on earth this happened, all these guys were rank 20-30 mind you, but I managed to grab all 3 of them and chuck them off the cliff :lol All you could hear was them laughing on their mics as they all fell off
Unfortunately I didn't get it saved to my HDD because the damn host left halfway through the game and for some reason the recording stopped at that point

Seeing Amir0x go absolutely ape-shit over this game is proving to be one of the most entertaining things in this thread.

First off, what I really like is the pacing and the fact that you get to travel to different locations. As you guys know, you were confined to the jungle in Uncharted 1 so being able to travel to cities, to the artic, etc really keeps things fresh. There's a level of excitement, a feeling of wanting to know what's around the next corner in terms of not just gameplay and setpieces but environments too and that's something I thought Uncharted was lacking. You get to venture beyond this jungle and that doesn't allow for just different environments but variations on the gameplay. The jungle, of course, has very different terrain than, say, a city. So in the city you get to climb lamp posts and jump across debilitated buildings and, especially in combat, this provides a very different take on the established gameplay mechanics as you progress through the game because suddenly you're in a new place completely unlike the one before it and so you have to kind of figure that out. You know, maybe what worked in the jungle won't work in the city and vice-versa. And as soon as you start to get tired of one locale, the game ships you off to another.
So far I've found the game to be very good at introducing new things. I know this is a bizarre comparison but it reminds me of Mario Galaxy because in Mario Galaxy, there's something new around every turn. You're never encountering the same situation twice and you get to experience a lot of new things. It's the same in Uncharted 2. There is a lot of variety. From stealth sections to chase sequences, you're not just shooting and then platforming, shooting and then platforming, etc. Or maybe you are and it's just so well disguised that I can't notice. Either way it's awesome. The action never lets up. Even from the beginning, you're shuttled into a harrowing experience and it just keeps ramping up from there with new obstacles and some truly exciting setpieces.
The combat has been noticeably improved too. Your enemies are smarter for one. I'm playing on normal and many times they've been trying to flank me while I'm in cover. You know, I'm standing behind my little brick fence or whatever and two or three at a time come bumbling over and I have to stand up to fend them off. Next thing I know, a guy out farther back is shooting me while I have my hands full. Even so, I'm finding I can still wing it. I'm only on normal of course so I imagine if you play on hard or crushing you're gonna have to plan out your steps but on normal there seems plenty of room for improvising (which I like). But yeah, AI is improved for sure. I do like the streamlined melee moves. You can come up from behind a guy and take him down with a single button without alerting his friends (think Batman: Arkham Asylum). I'm sure you've seen the videos where Nate is hanging from ledges and he pulls the guys down out of the window or something. It's all done with a single button and feels very, very good.
The graphics are insane. I think they're better than KZ2 actually. Character models are awesome. You can see all the little pores in the character's foreheads and the dirt on their faces. There's so much attention to detail as well as a lot of fancy shmancy graphic jahiggers. It looks really, really good because the world is so dynamic. Shrubbery waves around in the wind as do flags hanging from clotheslines. It just looks soooo good. Oh and yes, SP looks noticeably better than MP.
Oh and Chloe is hot.
I worked hard on these guys.

Naughty Dog selling out the self-respect of the game industry to attract more males to their audience. Those women have unrealistic features.

It has started. Youtube is going to be full of perverted uncharted cinema videos.

This was at request. I'm done with taking ass shots now.
On the contrary, I think Naughty Dog did a great job in not overtly-sexing up the female characters in the game. They have believable proportions and don't have DD sized breasts like the characters in DOA or Ninja Gaiden. Chloe has a mighty fine posterior though.Dax01 said:
