I didn't like that it was almost impossible to see treasures in the first game. I hope they change that...TheExecutive said:

yeah, I still haven't got any trophies in UC for that reason.
although, in hindsight, I've probably played through it enough since the patch to have long since reacquired all the unlocks. Meh.

No, you already have crushing unlocked, so just start a new game on it. Then after when you have a new file you can delete the old one so that it doesn't confuse you (as you won't be getting any trophies if you load that other file)Yoboman said:That's fine, but that'll mean playing 2 times to get the Platinum
So I have to delete my save file??
That's very possible actually. But I like that there's no online trophies. They are usually just something completely impossible to get for me, and they don't quite go hand in hand with the description that the game is supposed to be like a 'comfort' movie.deepbrown said:

They also ruin the game. Multiplayer Trophies/Achievements are always a bad idea but the ones they added won't effect how people play, so it's cool.

They are very similar to the first game I think. Not exactly the most inventive of the bunch, but again - inventive trophies usually means that it's something very hard to get (I always think of PixelJunk Monsters as an example of this)rhino4evr said:
What I like the best is that the trophies here, just as in the first game, give you an encouragement to look for hidden treasures. Those were fun to find (and fun to ogle over too
There was blood and some of the cutscenes were a bit graphic with impaled pirates and several close-ups of headshots. It wasn't at an M level but it was definitely much more than I'm used to seeing in a T game. I think it definitely was on par with a PG-13 movie though. Violence has gotten a lot more graphic in those in the past few years.LaneDS said:

I'm not sure which Uncharted you were playing, but there is definitely blood when you shoot people. It would feel really weird if there wasn't. It wasn't an offensive amount though and I'm pretty sure it didn't splatter on surfaces. I would be very surprised if the game had gotten an M rating.

Though I am happy there aren't pages and pages of required trophies for UCD2 like there were for KZ2 I genuinely had a great time getting all the trophies for Killzone. Except the damn turret and air sentry ones damn them to hell!

I played through it last month twice on hard and crushing, and can't recall any blood. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am saying that if it's that hard to notice, it's not exactly anywhere close to gory. Even in cutscenes when they're supposed to show you something gory, like the U-boat captain or the guy stuck on the trap, it's pretty damn ungory. I don't recall blood there either.
The violence is definitely very tame by videogame standards was my point.

Have they started running TV spots for this yet? I'm hoping they'll be good.

I just got my copy and shit my pants in the process! It's been since MGS4 that I've been so excited for a game.

Almost worthless if you ask me. I tend to enjoy the online trophies that take some time but are not a pain. Like earn so much XP or Money in multiplayer. Something that could take a month or so but you know that in every game you are heading towards it.
Oh well, maybe with some multiplayer DLC in the future we will get more online trophies.

Don't rely on the cover mechanic too much. Do a lot of aiming and self positioning to keep yourself out of the line of fire. With the cover mechanic you expose too much of yourself and will die easily. Also, master the pistols, you'll probably get most of your kills with effective pistoling for the early parts of the game. Learning where enemies spawn is also hugely helpful for Crushing.
You might surprise yourself and get the 50 kills without dying on Crushing while doing the later sections of the game. Doesn't have to be pirates either. As for the other trophies, like Brutal Slugger or whatever, do those on easy. Five brutal combos in a row or the five melee finishers on Crushing would be plain awful.

Yeah, it's practically that. It's the kind of violence seen in Indy movies, with a select shocking scene or two. There is blood when you shoot at someone, but no pouring blood once they fall on the ground. Also, the comical nature of enemy animations, both regular and death animations, doesn't make the whole thing look very realistic in a scary way. You somewhat feel like you're playing a movie, not a real life, if it makes sense. The enemy deaths don't seem real, but more like acted, as in - they will just stand up and walk away when you move on to the next set piece kind of way.RoboPlato said:
I think T rating is appropriate, I've seen a lot more gory things when I was teen, that's for sure. On the other hand I cannot for the life of me understand why something like Halo warrants an M rating. There were no particularly scary or shocking scenes, and you shoot at colorful looking aliens, so not even human characters.
I don't agree with this. Blindfire with shotgun when you're in cover was highly effective on crushing.LaneDS said:

Don't expect online trophies down the line. Naughty Dog has said that it taints the online experience, and I don't see them changing that much. I think the medal system and stat tracking is a nice compromise. Doesn't force players interested in trophies to play multiplayer with folks that just want to play the multiplayer for what it is, and you don't see people changing their playstyles to get certain trophies either.

I've noticed that whenever I get a HS it's more of a fluke than anything else, no matter how good of a job I do with my aiming. Whatever, it's more of a reason to go ninja and just snap peoples necks over and over again.
Also, i haven't been able to check my stats in the last 3 days. The stats site seems to be borked atm. Hopefully it's not going to crap out when the game hits stores.
I had a lot of matchmaking problems with the first beta, but until yesterday this one has worked fast for me. I started to have problems yesterday afternoon, I'd be in matchmaking forever...occasionaly I'd find a few players, but it would just reset back to none. Maybe it has something to do with the public demo being out, the servers are way busier.
I've only seen this one on TV a couple of times: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX6JygrIrQABCD2 said:
