Finished chapter 7.

HOLY SHIT at everything!

-So far more exploration and less shooting than U2 which I like.

-Like U2 it will be a while before your first shot. Awesome start though.

-I was stuck for half an hour in the third puzzle. That's a first for an Uncharted game! A hint button appeared after a while!

-Chapter 7 is a certain set-piece they've shown a lot. Playing through it is a million times better. I almost got up from my couch.

To sum up... HOLY SHIT!

edit: online pass doesn't work yet right? Europe here.

Finished chapter 8, pretty awesome.

I don't know that it looks radically better than 2 (so far) but no complaints. Locations have been cool (and varied!) so far.

Glad the thread is moving towards impressions instead of bitching about review scores.

Seems like nothing but positive impressions so far. Keep those spoilers secure!

It's almost as if that Eurogamer review isn't actually affecting people's own personal opinions all that much.

this thread never had review score complaints in it. its was merely the review thread and the other threads based off that one.

Does anyone know if
they rebalanced enemy health or hit boxes? Either they did or I'm becoming a better shot. Enemies are going down fast and I got my Headshot Master trophy on chapter 7.

Whelp, finally put my preorder in. Got the game plus the Piggyback guide (their FFXIII guide was really well done). And even though Amazon says they won't even ship until the 7th I have good faith in them getting me the game in a timely fashion, even with the free shipping, because they normally do (Good Guy Amazon, estimated delivery on the 28th, package comes in on the 23rd).

Am I the only one who sees a spoiler tag and can't help to start reading veeeery slowly with eyes half closed just to quit after the first word?

I know. Silly.

I believe the GameTrailers review stated that enemies in general took less bullets to kill this time.

Guys this is pretty OT.. But im buying a new TV for this game (and others but this will be the first i play on it) and was wondering; for gaming 60hz vs 120hz does it make THAT big a difference? Is it worth the extra 200-300 bucks?

Im looking at a 40-42" LCD btw.

So True. I wish I could record myself and my reactions while playing the game for the 1st time. It sucks waiting until Friday of the next week to get my preorder. One of the many downsides to living in a small island in the Caribbean.

No it doesn't. In fact, I think all games output at 60 hz anyway. The other thing is most LCD's that claim 120 hz or higher refresh rates achieve it through some crazy post-processing stuff that jacks up the input lag ridiculously. In other words, you'll be playing Uncharted 3 and wondering why the aiming feels so floaty and off. I went through the experience recently with a Samsung LED and it was so horrendous that I had to play with all of the nice effects turned off. Even then the input lag was still unbearable so I ended up buying a plasma. There are still nice LCD/LED TV's available for gaming though so don't take this anecdote as gospel.

My opinion though? Buy a Panasonic Plasma. I have a 50" G20 and it is the best gaming TV I've ever seen or used.

Why would you want to see this?

If you are OCD and they aren't lined up properly, it's going to bug the shit out of you. Best to assume they just are in your mind.

Madness will set in shortly.

I can do this but you won't like the results. I have the red box "cheapo" version of U1 and maybe U2.

I live in Dominican Republic so here they are affected of 2 things:

1.Expensive as hell.
2.Release dates? lol.

So I import/buy them from amazon but it takes a couple more days.

Nice to know we're neighbors.

Nice. Thanks for the input. I was always under the impression that plasma tv's suffered from terrible "burn in". But ill look into it though with that forum link.

Shopto almost always send games two days early so that'd be 31 for me. HOPEFULLY! The wait is KILLING me. :|

The amount of polish that goes into a Uncharted game is so fricken impressive. I am so used to playing games that are constantly riding a wave of excellence to average from moment to moment. Just like #2 the game never lets up. It keeps you so engaged that you never feel like setting the controller down.

Phew I got to calm down and savor this game.

haha I was talking about the impressions, but I wasn't too clear. I meant that I couldn't read anymore good impressions because it was making the wait unbearable.
