Gremlin in the Machine hereby requests that he be unbanned now that GameSpot has proven he was correct about Uncharted all along.
He further requests that the whiney Sony fantards who complained to the moderators about his prescient and sagacious opinions concerning Uncharted have their names permanently changed to"Fagballs."

Heh, which just means these are some arbitrary rules of playing "fair" since devs choose different compromises....which means ND is alright with being front and center on the console graphics front.

You have done well. I only have 36 items so far. The ones I have not on your list:
Silver Inca Vessel
Silver Spanish Goblet
I'll bet we're missing a Gold Skull somewhere, since there's a silver one.

lol gamespot pulled through.
I feel for the state of the game media. We need more journalist types, and less HS newspaper writers (for the text content not the scores). They need to do little things, like proof read, check facts, research whats good and bad, and other things. Are they even competing with other sites as far as quality content goes, or do hits provide all the support they need? Maybe if there were competition that didn't depend on tabloid like tactics and were funded by subscriptions with minimal ads (magazine/newspaper).

When I was importing one of my anime CDs, Neon Genesis Evangelion (Second Sountrack for those who wanted to know), I came across a song title that resonates quite well with the reception in regards to the PS3 and the press. Sony should add it to their advertising campaign. I think it would do wonders for the system...

How many can agree with that? :lol

I'd give it an 8 or an 8.5. BuddyC's really well-done review reads like an 8 or an 8.5. It's a very good score, and anyway, why are these site's opinions so damn important to you? Many of you are sad, sad little people who apparently don't have enough good games to play or something.

Good games should get the good sales that they deserve. Being a PS3 exclusive already puts it at a disadvantage due to userbase, the last thing it needs is misinformation spreading on the internet slowing it down even more. That's why people are upset. Uncharted doesn't have the pre-release hype that other games this holiday season. It needs good reviews to sell well, and a lot of people feel it's not getting the credit it deserves. Just the fact that there are is so much factually incorrect information in the reviews just proves that most of the media clearly isn't even giving the game a chance to impress them.dammitmattt said:

An 8 eh? Well i'm glad that gamespot held true to form. I'd say ditto to the 8.5 mass effect, but really i can't speak to it since i haven't beaten that game.
Once again a review that seems to have some real petty "negatives" for a great game. I'm sorry but this game deserves better scores. This isn't a good game, this is a great game that deserves nods for GOTM and to be talked about in the GOTY discussion. I don't think it should win mind you, but dammit its that good.
I've never been so out of sync with the review consensus as much as this. I just don't see glaring flaws with this game. And this isn't like most game reviews where people bitch about it before they've played it themselves. Because of the early release date, the people disagreeing have actually played the game before a lot of the reviews came out.
I see this game being the inverse of the typical highly anticipated game. You know the games that get tons of hype, and then the inflated reviews scores reflect it with high 9s. But over time the sentiment wanes. I have a feeling Uncharted won't win any big accolades but its word of mouth will sustain it as a game that is held in very high regard
Even great games has people who's played it and chimed in threads like these with "negative" impressions. But i really haven't seen them for this game. And on GAF i think that's saying something.

yes, it's not anywhere special.tanod said:
it is found in chapter V: The fortress.
STRANGE RELIC:
I'm not sure why yet, but this one is important (the game gives you 20 reward
points for finding it). This one can be found in the area where you first
encounter pirates in this chapter. After defeating the pirates, go up the
stairs and above the doorway you first entered this area from. You need to
jump to the roof of the broken stone house as shown in the picture. The Relic
can be found in the corner on the roof.

i really dont think uncharted has that much misinformation being spread about it....the majority of reviews have all been overwhelmingly positive save for a few attention-whore sites that lowballed the game just to create hits and controversyAwntawn said:
otherwise, gamers reaction to this game has been very positive. it now lies with sony to market this game at every available opportunity to achieve good sales this holiday

I am sitting at 43 treasures found. I am guessing I am missing some from the last few chapters as I was worried too much about getting killed.
One question though, when you do select level, it makes you choose a save game. For instance, my play though is Save 1. If I select it, will it erase what I have done on that save? I hope this makes sense, lol.

Sounds like you have a corrupt file on you save data. You could back up your files and reformat the hard drive. That might help. I feel for ya, this game is so damn fun and you can't even play it.

What misinformation is floating around that would hurt the sales? The number of melee combos? That's such a small part of the game that it doesn't even matter.
People here are just upset because they feel that their opinions are not being justified by the mainstream gaming press, which is ridiculous because 8s and 8.9s are great scores. These reviewers are impressed. I was impressed. Almost everyone in this thread is impressed.
Uncharted's sales aren't going to be impacted by half a point in a few reviews. What is hurtng the sales is Sony's complete inability to build any kind of mainstream buzz or hype for either of the big PS3 titles this fall. The two best-selling PS3 games this fall are going to be Guitar Hero 3 and Call of Duty 4, two games that Sony is not even pushing.

If GH or RB outsell Uncharted on the PS3 there are serious problems with PS3 gamers taste.
Judging from the anecdotal sell out reports (which never happens for PS3 games), the demand for the game is high or GS and other stores chronically and severely under-ordered the game, especially since this is the biggest shopping week of the year. I'm guessing it's the latter.
PS3 has jack shit for space in retail stores. I don't think they have a snowball's chance in hell of doing any catching up whatsoever in NA for the holiday season. Sony could get gamers, media, developers, and the general buying public all behind them but if they don't have retail space, none of that matters.

Why? Guitar Hero and Rock Band are phenomenal games with much broader appeal than Uncharted. I never said Rock Band will outsell Uncharted this fall, but I would bet that Guitar Hero does, and COD4 should most certainly outsell everything on the PS3.

PS3 has more retail shelf space per sales dollar than 360 or Wii.

CoD4 outselling it is fine, it's a great game and lived up to the hype that I doubted back when eveyone was going crazy for it at E3. But GH? No, just no.

Guitar Hero is one of the biggest gaming franchises around this side of Mario, Madden, Halo, and Grand Theft Auto. Uncharted is a new IP.

Again, it's not about the review scores. The comments made therein those reviews are supposed to inform gamers: truth is a necessity. Of course, opinions are nice to hear, but they are designed to complement the objective based points. There will always be people who are not interested in even the most popular games, so opinions should not overide what is made to be an informative guide to the audience. What is even sadder in my opinion is the fact that some do not even care about poor journalism. Something could be done to stop it, but, alas, indifference takes its toll.
By the way, after the last comment you made, you just lost all credibility you may have had left with me, which was already considerably low. Matter of fact, I find it ironic how you decided to comment on poor people like me who care for reviews (yeah, right) and then decide to throw your own review out there: at least three times as well. On top of that, earlier, you gave a few impressions, said you were not finished yet with the game, and slapped on a score of a B+. So I take it you finished the game now. I don't know what made you think that a B+ was an 80-85. By all acounts a B+ is around an 87-89. Did you not like the ending? I haven't played the game myself, but I'm having a hard time believing that you even tried to remain unbiased throughout the duration of the game. Maybe, I'm just misreading what you meant, but, if that is the case, then you need to work on your communication skills.
2007 has been a great year for games; I'm still catching up from 2006. There are many games to play, and fortunately I am biased to no system. I enjoy many offerings from each system. But right now, I'm planning on digging into some Resistance: Fall of Man to check out the level designs in multiplayer. Yes, by myself, I find them so fascinating. I can't put any major amount of playtime in the single player campaign, yet, as I have still to beat Half-Life 2's campaign. I can only play two to three games at a time or else I get too distracted and won't get back to one of the games I'm playing. A good portion of the games I'm playing now, though, have to be finished by Christmas, so I can donate my whole time to Uncharted.

I never said it wasn't popular just that it'd call into question PS3 gamers taste if it does outsell Uncharted.

You have finished the game so you can access any part of the game through chapter select, but using save 1 will overwrite that save in terms of progress if you just want to play it through again, that said you can switch difficulty at anytime.
For Crushing it's a little different, let's say I finished hard and I want to play on Crushing, I would have to start a new game, and when I select on a save, I would use a new save and carry over the treasures and medals when the game asks me.
