Cant get over how beautiful this game is, and now that i found out i can turn the hints off (makes the puzzles at least somewhat challenging now) this game is shaping up to be wow.

Maybe you can add this component to the $299 white PS3 rumor mill? White PS3 bundled with Uncharted for $299? :lol
Every iteration of that $299 rumor seems to add great stuff (that I doubt we'll see in reality).I would think Ratchet would be the best choice for a bundled game given its rating and universal appeal, but I think Uncharted is the best game on the PS3 (and my GOTY for 2007). Definitely a must buy game.

What exactly are the hints in this game? Can you give an example? Isn't it already a hint that you have to open the diary to see, well the hint for the solution of every puzzle. I had hints disabled in options, and it still pointed out that I have to use the diary every time a puzzle came along.FootNinja said:

I hope the next game is a little less linear and more open.
Also being able to use the journal all the time like Shemnue would be nice.

With hints on, it'll usually show you where you need to go if you linger too long in one area. For example, if you need to get up on a ledge where there's a door to the next area, it'll give you the L2 icon (or whatever button it was for hits) and holding down that button will zoom the camera to where you need to go. I don't think it actually has anything to do with the puzzles.
First stage was easy enough, second one was fine until I got to the pit with the ledges and spent the next half hour killing myself to hear Vic scream and cry about me dying :lol
How many # stages am I looking at here, and how does saving actually work in the game? Is it only at the stage ends or can I save at any time and it will get me close to where I was?

It's checkpoint based, there are several checkpoints through each chapter (21 chapthers btw). Just save and exit, you'll never be too far behind when you load.rhfb said:

Did you watch the Indiana Jones movies? I played the game expecting an Indiana Jones-like-movie-game experience and under that point of view even that made sense (the story seemed to build up in a way that would have left some big plot holes or a cliffhanger, but it did not and I was not disappointed by the ending... just that
they should have let Nathan kiss Elena!!!!

Just beat this game, and wow.. Orange box aside definitely my GOTY 07.
Graphics, Story, Gameplay, Presentation, even the achievs all added to an amazing experience and i did NOT think there was too much gun-play.
I enjoyed just about every gun-fight in this game, and the ending was just great.

I thought the gunplay was great, just the way the difficulty was tuned, they just nailed it. The jetski sections were alright but I liked the jeep section way more. There's still alot more they can do with Uncharted 2, now that they got the tech, characters, art and basic gameplay system nailed they can simply go nuts on the gameplay content and scenarios. I finished another playthrough last night, definitely my favorite game on the PS3 along with Resistance.

I'm replaying on Hard. I got to Sanctuary? in Ch. 13, and there's a 'mash Triangle to open the gate' thing. Except that every time it gets about 70% of the way up it bangs back down. I think I'm hitting it pretty fast, and I even set the controller down on the table and pounded Triangle as fast as I could, old-timey Nintendo style, and it still does it. It's in the same place every time, too, and I've never had a problem with those moments in the game before, hitting it much slower.
Glitch? Has anyone heard of this?
Edit: I even quit and re-started the game, but no help.

If that's the part I'm thinking of, you have to
get Elena in there to help
a wall with a bunch of explosive barrels in front of it
Edit, or wait, you're REPLAYING it? So you should already know that. Maybe you did find a glitch

Smacks forehead.
Not a spoiler, but I'm so embarassed. I had just turned on the 'next gen' filter, and the barrels were nearly invisible with that on. And I played it first in November, so I'd forgotten all about it.
Thanks.

I held off buying this game because of the demo. While visually impressive and admirably fluid, I was really turned off by how much it seemed like a third-person shooter. It seemed a waste of those lush environments to pin the player down with gunfire and force them to narrow focus to a reticle.
After all the praise, though, I went ahead and got it. I'm through Chapter 9, and the game is phenomenal. I still think the firefights tend to last too long--smaller engagements could have been adjusted for the same tension but less over-the-top murder simulation--but the whole package makes up for it. You get plenty of time to look over the environments, which are even more stunning than the demo indicated. What's more, the pacing is absolutely top-notch. Nothing in the game leaps out as novel or unique (which might account for the low sales given its pedigree), but everything is buffed to a high luster. It's like a lucid dream. I'm very happy I bought it.

Guys, I'm buying Uncharted today.
I've decided to keep my PS3, and what better way to convince myself.

just beat this game, what the hell were they thinking there at the end? the Aimbot aiming drove me mad. i actually liked the ending story,
game was great overall really liked the jumping platforming about.
nice little twist with the gold not being the goal but the disease inside, most likely was going to be sold to the highest bid to terrorist, never saw that coming at all.

Nice, I don't want this game to end too soon.Elbrain said:
Finished the game a couple of days ago. Great graphics, but textures sometimes take a couple of second to load (not sure if it's just my machine). Also, since my system is a Japanese one, no blood for me (no great loss).
The shooting didn't feel as satisfying as I hoped, but the gameplay was still fun. And the sound is amazing! Best use of my HDMI 7.1 sound system yet.

Uncharted is certainly a great game but at times it feels redundant when you're fighting wave after wave of pirates. When Nathan says "You've got to be kidding me" or "Where are these guys coming from," it's almost as if Naughty Dog recognized that the game leans perhaps a little too much on the combat mechanic.
I've been pretty lukewarm on Uncharted so far, but after giving it and every other game a rest for a couple months, I picked it up over the weekend. And I think I'm coming around.
I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed the jetski up the river sequence. Yeah, the shooting was lame, but the ride itself was beautiful and oddly calming.

I would have LOVED to have the jetski up the river be a simple race against the current or something. Trying to find a route up the rapids with some sort of time limit, or even just a tricky river to navigate with visual cues to follow or floating debris to avoid or risk capsizing and drowning, but mainly no enemies shooting you, no barrels floating down the river... that would have been great. As it is the 2 jetski sections were both pretty disappointing imo.
There was something extremely realistic about dying in that level though, the ragdoll slumps as you both hit the water all limp while Elena yells in pain, yikes. :lol
