Finally unbaned and back to the metal bar handjob thread 
Completed Uncharted on Crushing the other day, wow it was bloody tough. Got around about 800ish points so far and 46 or something treasures.
I've got to say i was severly dissapointed when I unlocked Elena. She's MASSIVE Ah well I'll have to stick with Eddy and Naughty Dog Drake :/
I'll take some pics to show the monstrosity in the morning.

Hi There.
Could Someone Kindly tell me how to access the crushing difficulty setting in this game?
I finished it on Hard a while ago but when i started a new game there appeared to be no option to set the game on crushing.

Hey man unfortunately I dont think you can remap any of the buttons but hang in with the game you will get used to it.
Perhaps I shouldn't have said "flips." I know that there are exaggerated physics, but what I'm talking about is the instant a shot connects, the body basically inverts right away without any real transition, it's just suddenly upside down.Marconelly said:Exaggerated death animations like those flips were put intentionally in the game as part of it's pulp roots, much like tons of others exaggerated enemy animations that were complete cheese but looked awesome (like running sliding into the cover on their knees etc). I know I didn't ignore those, but I rather enjoyed them, and so did many others
Keeps happening too. :lol

What difficulty were you playing on? ~9 hours seemed fairly good for something that has a lot of replayability in it.IJoel said:
I hated the Sixaxis for aiming until Uncharted - they've got it set up just right in my opinion. (well, it's taking a little getting used to with my new DS3, as the sticks are quite a bit tighter)
I reckon I'm going to have to play through the game a 3rd time - I just get caught up in the action and forget to go treasure hunting. :lol (playing on Crushing, about 1/2-2/3 through now)

Woah, Rolf the Ranting Ranter Mohr listened to BGB shout?
Thanks, but unfortuantly it was just a lot of work and I don't think we were too happy with the outcome. Opened our eyes to how devs like Insomniac can do all the stuff necessary for an hour or so podcast, and make a freaking game!
Thanks again, maybe one day
Help me GAF, I'm stuck at the start of Chapter 15 "On The Trail Of The Treasure".
The start of the chapter, you jump up and across on a ledge and then onto a vine where you are supposed to wall run and then jump to the far ledge.
My problem is the ledge in trying to get to, is very far away. The distance from ledge I want to get to is 3 times the distance of vine to first ledge.
I've tried all vine holding lengths but always jump way short.

No it doesn't. I spot tearing whenever it happens and while it happens on a regular basis it doesn't happen all the time. They need to fix it for the sequel though.

You shouldn't jump on to that vine at all. From where you would normally jump onto that vine shimmy around the corner a bit and jump to the other side.

Ah, pity... I learned that I'm an initialism.
Amazing game. Just finished it this morning before work. I am really impressed with how everything gels together so well.
The gameplay is near flawless. Rarely will I play a game from start to finish with no complaints. Honestly, the only thing I hated was the controller motion you had to do to get those monsters off of you, but it didn't take much away since you barely had to do it.
I'd have to say this and Dead Rising are tied for best games of this gen so far, with Blue Dragon at a close second.

Damn it, I still need about 16 or so treasures, so I guess I'll need a guide. :/Synless said:
BTW does anyone know what those poles with flags and skulls on them are? I can't explain what the look like to well, but I've spotted a few of them in the game and Drake looks at one when you press L2 in the 3rd chapter I think. Once I get my camera I'll take a picture to show you what I'm on about.
Look what I found

I'm off to play it in Crushing and see if I can find the remaining 11 treasures, although I have no idea where they'll be cause I've looked pretty much everywhere already.

Bout damn time Deep I have been waiting forever for that.
I just finished the game for the first time, I absolutely LOVED it. I have to admit when I first started I didn't enjoy the gunplay at all, but I think David Jaffe said it well in his video diary - once I mastered it, I got hooked with the shooting and cover mechanics.
It's been said about a million times already, but this game deserves to sell SO much more. I'm almost tempted to go out and buy another copy just to support ND. Also, did anyone else notice when watching the Behind the Scenes clip for the Jailbreak motion capture, the actress who plays Elena, says "You're not going to find the Ark of the Covenant in there", instead of the final line in the game where she says "El Dorado" instead?
Wonder if they put that in the actors script's just so they would leak anything about the game before the release.
Also sorry, if this has been asked before, but can someone explain the Handjob part of the thread title? I don't get

I thought the models looked the same, I argued with a friend of mine that they used the same models throughout the whole game, he disagree's.......now he can eat shit because I was right!!!deepbrown said:Look what I found

I finally finished the game last night so I can now voice my opinions.
It is, by far, the best exclusive PS3 game available. Totally fantastic and enjoyable from beginning to end. Highly recommended to Triple owners.
Positives -
+ Great graphics
+ Fantastic music
+ Great VO work
+ Fantastic writing (for a game)
+ Good gameplay mechanics (shooting, platforming)
+ Great control
+ Perfect length for a game of this type, IMO
+ In most cases, does not "punish" the player too severely for failure. I very rarely, if ever, had to play long sections over because I died or fell. I know opinions differ on this but I hate repetition
+ Great "Achievements" and unlockables.
Negatives -
- Enemies sometimes take way too many shots to kill
- Enemies sometimes dance around like they have ants in their pants when getting shot. It looks ridiculous
- Hit detection is rarely but occasionally wonky (i.e. "I KNOW I hit that guy in the head")
- Sometimes, in the quest for finding the treasures, there are places it looks like you can jump to and explore, but unfortunately there are invisible walls there, and therefore Nate doesn't do a full jump when you hit the button, and you die and have to restart from the last checkpoint.
- Could really do without the Sixaxis controls in this game (Balancing, shaking off certain enemies). I didn't see a way to turn them off. Should be a requirement on all PS3 games.
-
All in all, I loved it, but I don't see myself going through it a second time as I have a huge backlog on other systems. I might trade it in for a secondhand Warhawk, though. Would it be okay to buy a second-hand Disc version of Warhawk or is it keyed or something?

Enjoyed fighting the enemies til I got to the "Attack of the Killer Gollums" sections. This is Uncharted's equivalent to Halo's "flood" if you will. A new type of enemy that's simply not as fun to fight as the regular, more intelligent enemies.

This whole thing is really a spoiler for those that haven't played the game, so read at your own risk.
I guess I could see how some people might not like that, but I enjoyed it for the wrench that it threw into the way that you played the game. You basically had to forget about how to play the first part and run for your life as you're gunning. I died quite a few times against the monsters. My main complaint in this area was just that it was so dark it got pretty hard to see the next wheel to turn or figure out where to go. Also, I hated the pits in that one room that as you're running away from the monsters that if you weren't watching where you were going you'd die and have to restart that part. Had to do that probably 3-4 times at least.

Well the treasures are saved in the order you get them (from bottom to top) in the game, so it should be pretty easy since they're numbered and named on that page.Synless said:

In a game about cover and precision shooting, I did not like the transition to high tension, "they're rushing you! Run!!" gameplay. Plus, I feel that the third person camera and controls are not conducive to this. It's just like Gears in the way it falls apart at real close range. The gollums would run up at me and I'd try to go into aim mode and they'd run around and I couldn't follow them fast enough or the aim mode would be looking in the wrong direction, etc. Then the smeagols would jump on you and sometimes, even though I'd shake the shit out of that controller they'd kill me. One hit deaths like this are cheap. I could've done without the whole thing, but I didn't hate it and it didn't ruin the game or anything. I never tried punching them, does that work?

You shouldn't be using aim mode when they're up close, just fire from the hip, it works wonders. Infact I think they improve the auto aim
for the monsters
I think they did that on purpose so you would feel and play like
you were in real trouble and afraid.
Regarding precision shooting and shooting from the hip.
Like most people the first time I played through the game I was aiming and shooting everything. Only toward the end of the game did I realise that running and gunning was equally effective in certain situations. The second time I played through I utilized the hip shooting mechanic a whole lot more and it made some fights not only easier but more action-packed and quick. Besides, how else do you think I got the Steel Fist rewards?
The game is made so bloodly well that there are two separate shooting mechanics that are both highly polished and fun.
Can't say enough about this game. I'll definately go through the game a third time on Crushing.
