It took me exactly 12 hours to beat but I got almost every single treasure the first time through and like I said if your trying to get all the treasures and most of the achievements the first time you play look for at least 12+ hours.

Its it bad that im in Chap 8 and only have 11 treasures

I have been playing for a while now it seems. Only on chapter 8. It takes me a bit of time to get through a chapter - I end up marveling at everything in the level for days.

I will post all my new pics in just a sec. I got that picture you wanted too deepbrown
Sweet :)

I took a lot of pictures last night. Filtered through them and picked out some of the best ones. A few turned out kinda crappy but eh they still show off the games beauty.
I will keep these shots as spoiler free as possible. But keep in mind that these pictures were taken between Chapters 1 - 8

I'll repost these 1st 4 I took:

Yep...I really think it underestimates play time! Because I timed myself...the hours. It says 9hours....but I'm sure it was 12-14hours (ok I wasn't timing myself that well....but it was much more than 9 hours)

Doesn't include time spent when you dieing. It only records time when you cross a checkpoint. I spent about 12 hours playing through the game on Normal but my game clock was closer to about 8.5 - 9 hours.
 
Okay guys here is half the pics I promised unfortunately since I already started the game over on crushing I cant get some from the later levels just yet. I apologize for the bad quality on some of them my camera is absolute garbage but just so everyone knows aside from resizing I have not edited these in any way.

Enjoy.

If this game doesnt chug along to sell millions of copies its a absolute travesty and a testament that the majority of gamers have no idea whats good anymore.

HAHAHA Nice timing Chef you have to be taking those shots with a much better camera than I am using.

Oh thats about what i did! I was expecting to hear like 20hrs in with you! But i guess i just had larger blocks of time to play it...heh. Looking for the treasures takes a lot of time...i got 47 on the first play. I just need 3 more now going through crushing and 2 more medals.....ugh..i want them alllll.

Man no kidding I thought for sure it was going to take me a year if I had focused on the achievements it would have taken even longer.

So was I the only one cracking up when Sully was saying
to those guys holding him - "but she was only 4'11", we used to call her "the spinner" 'cause you could..." and then they interrupt him saying "yeah, you already told us that one :lol
How on Earth this game got just a T rating, when something like Socom gets M, is beyond me.

Nice job with the pics fellas!

If only the ps3 could do high res textures....

Are you being sarcastic? The PS3 has the best texturing of this gen by far. I had a chance to see this game being played down the hall and I have to say that it obliterates anything else right now. Maybe Killzone 2 or Alan's Wake will compare but it's the champ by a MILE until those games come out. Naughty Dog are gods and PS3 is a beast.

That was such a great line :lol

Or when Elena says:
"This is so disgusting!! ... I wish I had my camera"

Man, they really nailed the dialogue down - every single character in the game is so damn likable.

I like it because it was incidental chatter! I was like "YESSS!", but then I reminded Sully that there was only one way to go...lol *joke*

I'll connect the PS3 to my capture card tomorrow, grab some nice pics.

That fort is mutherfucking awesome. Seriously, this is probably the best game-experience I've had in a long ass time. Loove the dialogue.

Is that not what you were looking for Brown?
I climbed into the fortress and the wall right smack in your grill is this one. It looks amazing so I figured that was what you were referring to.

Another great use of the dialogue was as a grenade indicator. You knew that Nathan was going to get fragged because he started freaking out. "oh no oh no!"

It made the grenade indicator not even necessary. They get points for that.

Thats a excellent point I actually never thought about it but I never looked at the grenade indicator I always just listened for Drakes OH CRAP!

Uh oh... I finished easy first and unlocked everything I could except the difficulty medals. I know I shouldn't be able to but I was able to play hard with my weapon rewards working. Now I'm playing Crushing and I'm not able to use them!

Oh boy.

Well at least I can play as Elena!

So far I LOVE the car chase, ruins, and the fort.. The fort was so awesome.

Does it keep improving like this?

Damn damn damn, just made it to chapter 8, the Drowned City. What a game guys, this is what's it all about. I hope Naughty Dog is already working on a sequel and this sells amazingly. Everytime I think the visuals can't get better and then I say wow again. Jesus.

Game is pretty hard on hard, I already died many times, but it's the right difficulty and it doesn't feel cheap.

yeah those early Nate concepts were bad, but it's cool, you could see the concept art where it just "clicked" and that's what they went with.

Also the most amazing this about this game is you can walk right on top of every texture in the game and there is no loss of detail or blurring no matter how close you get.

it has the same crappy selection of weapons, the same "10 shots to kill" enemies


I've never played Tomb Raider, and I get that you are trying to draw comparisons.

That said, what weapons would you prefer? This game has a great real world selection of weapons that get much better as the game progresses. That comment makes me think you haven't finished the game. I also like the fact that you can unlock weapons for subsequent play-throughs.


It doesn't take ten shots to kill any enemy either.

I just got to that part too. Couldn't have said it better myself

The only thing that really bugs me so far is that sometimes you shoot a clearly visible body part of an enemy but the bullets don't hit. It's like there is some protocol that says "body needs to be visible this much or else no hit".

When you drop of the bridge with the jeep and get your first view of the Drowned City from the water....gasp.

It only takes one to the head. Or three in the torso it seems.

I'm playing through the game at a glacial pace. Chapter 11.

When did you get it? I got it yesterday and I'm in chapter 8 already :(

The use of dialogue as a gameplay aid is excellent in this game.

- Grenade nearby -> Drake says something like "Oh crap no!"
- You're out of ammo -> Enemies shout "He's out of ammo" (I thought this one was particularly great as that's something enemies would actually say in real life so that they know when to storm you, but in the game it also helps you know what to do)
- You being shot a bit too much and not doing much about it -> Elena yells at you "Drake, get down!"

etc, etc. Looks like that guy from their team who was saying he wants to make the game playable with your eyes closed, wasn't completely joking.

I felt the same way until later in the game where i would die 15 times on the same part :lol

I don't think Hard is actually that Hard compared to crushing. Hard is just right, Crushing is a true test, and one where you (me at least) will die 30 times in a row in the same part.
