Is there any good anecdotal evidence for sales of this game, or did it bomb?

Saleswise, no news means bad news. Y'know, it's all about singing when a game sells like hot cakes and being discrete when it bombs. In the case of Uncharted, I'm a bit disappointed but it tends to mean that it didn't make fair.
But who knows...maybe I'm just pulling shit out of my ass.....

Well, I'm in the middle of Chapter 15 and the game is a solid experience...one of the most fun games I've played this year. The enemies
If anyone spoils this for me, I will hate you.
sorry for rambling but I'm at work and am pretty darn busy today
I tentatively rate the game: 1 out of 1 stars
got a much needed difficulty increase, which makes the combat so much more enjoyable...
I also *spoiler* saw a set of non-human looking footprints and am now delving through a series of caves that are lit only by my flashlight...the area is giving me a strong Thief 1 vibe and am expecting non-human or undead enemies to enemies to pop up at any minute

I have to make a choice today before I go to lunch. I'm either getting Uncharted or Mass Effect. I've already gotten Halo 3, Mario Galaxy, Assasin's Creed and the Orange Box.
So, I'm close to completing the Holiday '07 AAA Collection. Which do I get today? I must choose!!! (I'll get the other as a holiday gift.)

The music is so so good its probably the best I have heard out of the MGS series.

You're on a Uncharted Official Thread. So, Uncharted, duh! :lol
Seriously, Uncharted is the most fun experience I've had with a game all year...addictive, too. The cover-shoot-platformy gameplay is great and consistent throughout the whole duration of the game (so there's never a dull moment), the characters ooze charm and personality and the visuals and music/sound effects are the best I've seen/heard all year (Galaxy's awe-inspiring musical score notwithstanding). For this action/adventure fan, it doesn't get better than this.
I've seen and played Mass Effect and it's great: awesome sci-fi feel coupled with nicely-done dialogue and voice acting (resulting in beautiful cut-scenes), hair-raising synth and orchestral music and good-looking visuals marred by huge amouns of slowdown and pop-up (thx to Unreal 3).
Either way you choose, you'll end up with WIN in your house.

Yeah for the winter months I strongly recommend Uncharted to keep you warm and then a nice helping of Mass Effect.
So I got the game on friday...me and my wife played for 5hrs on friday then probably another 4 or 5 on saturday and we beat it on normal. Going thru it on hard right now and I almost have all the artifacts. So freaking amazing.
END GAME SPOILER! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT BEAT THE GAME!
Must have Uncharted 2 next please ND!

I love the way they did the cursed Spaniards! That crap is freaking scary when they lunge at you and run at you like the Decent creatures....I loved it! Navarro at the end was kinda easy to me though.

I know I have repeated this so many times throughout this thread but this game is so fantastic.
I have not had so much pure fun playing a game in so long I seriously have the dumbest grin on my face the whole time I am playing.

The buildup to that was nicely understated - they didn't make a big deal out of it, little clues just started to accumulate[CFD] El Capitan said:

I really dug the short sequence where you run away from Cursed Spaniards, firing blindly over your shoulder. Neat idea, should have played it out a little longer for a little extra tension.
I also liked that the Cursed Spaniards generally required more shoot-from-the-hip combat tactics, changing things up a bit.

Totally.
Did you jump in the water at the part where they are taking El Dorado away in the helicopter? The cursed spaniard is all "Shhh come with me!" and pulls you under the water! haha i laughed cause it looked funny. Wish we could get a gif of that and not be completely spoiler.
Some place named "Loading Reality" gave it a 9.5

"Im going to touch upon the graphics and sound, now. The graphics are the best I have ever seen for any console. When I was on top of a cliff, I decided to see how the forest looked. I was just simply amazed at how realistic it looked. The music for this game is just fantastic. When I started the game, instead of diving right into it, I just put down my controller and listened to the opening theme its that good. The voice acting, as well, is some of the best I have ever heard.
Well, I should probably discuss the gameplay. The game plays like an adventure with a cover and shoot mechanic taken straight from Gears of War. Uncharted follows the platforming-style of Tomb Raider, except it is much more fun and you dont die on every jump. Unless youve lived under a rock for the past year, you should be able to recognize the shooting aspect of Uncharted is stunning. Like Gears of Wars before it, its complete with an improved cover system, which isnt bad at all. The game is a lot more fun because of it, and Im glad it is there. The AI is intelligent; enemies dont stand around like morons, letting you shoot them; and they will attempt to flank you if you arent paying attention. The puzzles will make you think and it feels rewarding when you finally get them.
Storywise, Uncharted is much like something that you would experience in a movie. The characters personalities make it seems that if they actually existed and that you could have a real conversation with them. When Drake makes a joke, it adds something the situation and always seems very appropriate."

Answer this with as little detail as possible and using spoiler marking, please. This game doesn't have a cliffhanger or "open" ending, does it?

Chapter 14:
After ringing the two bells in the church inside the monastery, go down the ladder and take out the M4 wielding merc. Before grabbing his gun, there is a stone coffin to your left. Circle around the back and you should find it

Next gen filter seems great :lol
Obviously, they're making a bit of fun of UE3 engine where everyone likes to over-abuse that HDR glow.

I have played the game 20+ hrs and it just never gets old. Its been a really long time since a game has done this to me. I just can't put it down. I have COD4 sitting here (already beat SP) and I don't want to play it. This game is just magnificent!!!
