Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

[SethMode]

I should seriously look into that. I order a TON of stuff from Amazon.

Giant Bomb's review is glowing...

5/5 stars

Dude, it's the best 90 bucks spent a year. I've had it for like 6 years now and couldn't imagine not having it. The ludicrous price for express without it more than justifies it, especially with the overnight shipping cost with Prime. I'm doing that so that I don't get Uncharted till Thursday, giving me some QT with Brutal Legend.

fortune hunter edition of this game is selling for as high as $3000 on Ebay...

[CrimsonGhost56]

got dat uncharted :D .ill be on most of the day

[Maynard]

this game is only 10hrs long....dam thats short for 60 bucks. I guess if you plan on playing it over or playing MP it would be worth it. but with MW2 coming, their MP will own all

[Maynard]

i didnt play it.....i just was quoting a review. And why u gotta get butt hurt cause i say its not worth 60 bucks to me? i even said that if you plan to play it more then once or play MP it would be...but not for me personally

[SethMode]

Can I not state MY opinion without being "butt hurt" ?

Not to maynard, depending on his mood.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is saying that the single player is worth $60 alone. Add on the competitive multiplayer that is being raved about, the co-op mode which is COMPLETELY different than the single player AND a horde-type mode, If that isn't worth $60 I don't know what the fuck is.

Shit, if this were Halo M$ would've charged $60 without the co-op modes and multiplayer, and then charged extra for DLC down the road, just because this is a flagship title. Oh wait, that's what they basically did with Halo:ODST...and L4D. But I digress.

I picked this up today at TRU along with Brutal Legend and MUA2 (which I plan to return later for Borderlands maybe? I might keep it.) I'll just return the Amazon copy to TRU whenever it comes in. They sent me an e-mail early this morning saying it shipped.

Just wait for the special edition of MUA2 if you really need to play the game... it's worth a rental if you just play through just the story (Pro-Reg and Anti-Reg if you got the time).

Borderlands though... may be worth it if you plan on doing multiplayer for a while.

But for real though, FUCK both those games if you plan on keeping UC2. Seriously.

Two things I've noticed after booting up this fine little game [DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE GAME or IF YOU WANT TO FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT YOURSELF]:

 

The first treasure you should get is to the right after you climb up the train, watch the cut-scene and get up from the ground.

The tree should be in front of you so head right and search for a glowing icon in the snow.

It's the "Wrathful Deity Statue" it's worth $15,000 to boot since it should be your "First Treasure." and your first Trophy.

DO NOT forget it because once you go past a certain point, you can't go back and get it.

AND

 

LOL at the "Beast Mode" medal.

MORE:

 

The second treasure is around the oil slick when you first make your way through the rest of the train wreckage.

It's closest to the dead guy in the camo with the gun.

This is the "Saraswati Statue"

 

For the third treasure, you should see a hand above you once you shoot out your first lock.

Don't be alarmed.

Just turn around and shoot the glowing icon on the dead camo guy #2 and collect your prize.

This is the "Tibetan Snuff Bottle."

MORE Hidden Treasure Spoilers:

 

The fourth treasure is in the car you jump to after you survive the previous car's rolling/explosion accident and watch the second cut-scene.

It's behind the hatch you crawl up in, past the faulty light.

It's named the "Ghau Amulet Thogchag."

 

The fifth treasure (the one that gives you the "Beginner Fortune Hunter" medal and $5,000), is located just around the manhole you climb out of after scouting your way through the sewer.

Check to your top left as you walk around and you should find the treasure's glimmering icon sitting on a box.

It's called the "Byzantine Gold Coin."

The gameplay is much smoother than the first one imo. Its not just go into a big open area for a shootout, move up, shoot some more, etc. anymore, everything is very cinematic

[Point Blank]

Can't wait to read some impressions.

I think you misunderstood. I am keeping Uncharted 2 without question. I pre-ordered it from Amazon but I didn't feel like waiting for them to ship it so I picked it up today. When the Amazon copy comes in I'll return it to TRU for a different game. As for MUA2 and Borderlands, that's a different story.

I am a little pissed that the Amazon version was supposed to come with some treasure map. Apparently it's a download code. They shipped the game so why the fuck didn't they send me an e-mail with the download code?

Twigg man, you ever taken a pic of your game collection?

I've noticed you have to lead your bullets a little bit, they don't immediately hit people when you pull the trigger.
