I don't want no J&D game, I want Uncharted 2.
I 2nd that. I was saying to myself "I DON'T WANT Jak and Daxter next gen!" I want another Uncharted or a new series from these guys. I do love the buddy AI. No need to babysit them. It's funny because there were scenes that we thought were cut scenes and wonder why Drake wasn't moving and we're like OH! and started moving him. It happened several times. Kept getting fooled lol.
Just beat it earlier today, this game is full of so much WIN. <3 <3 <3 ND
I would be replaying it on Hard and then later on Crushing, but I already set Ratchet aside in anticipation for Uncharted for so long already, so it's time for me to give Lombax and Robot a go!
P.S. I did find one ledge that causes Drake to freeze in one place after jumping onto it (I promptly just restarted from a checkpoint), and while I was raising one of the gates, it showed a white blank in place of the scenery for 1 or 2 seconds before that area's graphics loaded in. lol
Hey it may not be perfect, but it's definitely a diamond in the rough for me. =)
EDIT: Screw metaphors, one of the best gaming experiences I've had in a LONG time. XD

I just did this myself (I installed a larger hard drive and needed to xfer all my games) -- all your profile and preference stuff is stored in the PS3 firmware itself. If you use the System Settings / Backup Utilities it'll back up all your movies, music, downloaded games, and saved games to a USB drive, memory stick, whatever.
But first, did you try simply starting the game on the chapter before the lockup? That seemed to work for some people.
You could also post on the official Sony boards... might reach them easier than YouTube.

Beat the game on normal. It was fantastic. Only found 35 treasures though.

I finally found a copy of the game at Best Buy (in Brampton) today. It was $69.99, $10 more than at Future Shop, but I picked it up anyway (will price match later).
I've just gotten past the
and ran into
. I know I'm not very far into the game, but:
1. HOLY SHEEETS, MY EYES BLEED FROM THE PUNCHES TO THE FACE WOWSOMENESS.
2. The lighting is superb - shadows everywhere. YEAH!
3. AWESOME sound. So far, I'm not experiencing the volume problem I have in R&C. Very atmospheric.
4. The story rocks - excellently written (the little I've experienced).
5. The
was the first wow moment for me. Sweet vista, nice waterfall, and climbing around was fun.
The game is seriously impressive.

Theres so much variety in the texture work throughout the game. Every area has a completely different feel and mood to it as a result. The specularity and shading is awesome.. marble reflects a bit, wet stone glints, the water in between the tiles, and on and on. They didnt miss anything.

yes the texture work is UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE....and this coming from someone who goes back and forth between console and PC games quite alot
....I also think that all of them are hand drawn and none of them are scanned....yes?

I've made it to chapter 17 and I'm absolutely in love with this game. L-O-V-E. Definitely one of my favorites of the year.

Yeah, I mentioned this lat night/early morning. The DTS track is sooooooo good, and rocks so hard, that after the Jeep and 1st Jetski missions, (which I played through at 3AM,) I was really worried about my subwoofer keeping up all my neighbors. Those grenade launcher shots THUMP!

I just saw the commercial for the game, it is pretty awesome, but there is only like 3 seconds of ingame stuff.
I just got it at Future Shop. The salesperson thought that it was still gonna be released on the 19th, so he checked with a supervisor. He came back and said it was bumped up to today and just gave me the game.
I have to say this after playing chapter 4, and I make no exaggeration here: this is probably the best game I've played since God of War 2. Holy shit. Looks great. Plays great. And it has a sense of desperation in it once you get into the combat.
And the SIXAXIS + grenade throwing was a good touch. Non-gimmicky and actually makes sense. Is there a invert vertical option for the SIXAXIS though? I always end up turning the controller the wrong way. :lol
In fact, this game is so good that I'm going to cancel my CoD4 + AC bundle from Best Buy! I'll be too busy with this game!

What did everyone think of the twist?

What did you think of the monsters. At first I almost had a heart attack...but they overdid it by making them continue to come too often and the effect quickly wore off.
Also, the final boss fight was CRAZY HARD (when it's just one v. one). I died like 35 - 40 times in a row (in about 10 minutes)

I'm still not happy with the frame rate, but I'm having a lot more fun than with the final version than I thought I would based on the demo. The Medals definitely have something to do with it, but so does the pacing of the first few levels, which eases you into the firefights. Something about achievements (or fake achievements in this case) is just extremely appealing to me on some level that I don't fully understand.
Also, Naughty Dog has done a very good job with the story and the characters. I'm not looking for high fiction here, and they've done a good job of balancing the serious with the fun, like a good Indiana Jones movie.
I can't wait to finish it up tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll jump right back on Hard to finish up the medals as soon as I finish the game.
Quick question - what are the large breakable jars scattered throughout the levels?

Anyone have advice on how to get the steel fist medal? God it's hard.
Easy: You shoot them once and one punch doesn't kill them. You shoot them twice, they die.
Medium: You shoot them twice and one punch doesn't kill them. You shoot them three times, they die.
Hard: You shoot them three times and one punch doesn't kill them. You shoot them four times, they die.
How the hell are you supposed to do this 5 times in a row?
And also, do running jump kicks/jump-punches count as one punch?
