[PS3] Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

[Maynard]

Given that you need to go from Point A to Point B, any game could be thought of as such if it gives a player a gun and an objective.

Even a game like GTA (3 through IV), with all it's "sandbox" features eventually becomes one because you are forced to go to Point B if you wish to continue with the story.

yeah but my understanding is there is a real genre called rail shooters. I never played one that i can recall, but was curious if this fell into that genre.

btw, you cant post that video twice in 2 days.....thats fail my friend

i enjoyed uncharted's mp way more then mw2. slower pace, firefights that could last more than 3 seconds. platforming is just as important as shooting. one thing it lacks is the depth of mw2 with all the customization possible

i havnt tried the MP yet. i am looking forward to getting owned though. MW2 MP has the depth, but the game is seriously flawed in many places online with its gameplay. The only reason i play is because of my friends that play. hell, i am thinking of getting mass effect to give me something new to play

UC2 would fall under such a category in that the way the designers of the game made the maps you play through.

Yes, you can look everywhere under the sun for hidden treasures but once you wade through the thousands of mercenaries pitted against you, there isn't much else to do but run towards the end of the level.

And as for the video, I'm going to post it as much as I want as long as you insist on trolling.

Uncharted is not a on-rails shooter, those are 1st person agmes where you literally dont do nothing but aim. But I guess the way you look at Uncharted 2 is the way I look at MGS4. Everyone seems to love the game to death, and whiel I enjoyed it, didnt think it was some great masterpiece.

Based on my sig you can tell i cant wait for ME2

Time Crisis, House of The Dead, Resident Evil Chronicles, Dead Space: Extraction. All=Rail Shooter.

A rail shooter is a game where you don't control your movements AT ALL. You may be able to control the camera a bit but that's it. The game moves for you and you just aim and shoot.

How can you be like 40 fucking years old and game as long as you have and not know what a rail shooter is?

 

[Twigg4075]

god forbid anyone has a different opinion then the all mighty twigg. If you arent bashing someone for their opinion your bashing M$ for charging you

I bash poor deciions and bullshit corporate moves. Sony makes plenty of mistakes. It just so happens that MS makes more.

btw twigg, i wonder if the folks at naughty dog would rather be on the metacritic list or this list....

I'm sure there is no doubt that ND would rather make millions. But this argument is about whether Uncharted is a great game, not how many copies it sells. Which brings me to another thing. I love how when anyone ever talks about any game or someone bashes Call of Shitty 6, you respond with "Well, it sold 3 billion copies so all of those people can't be wrong." Sales don't mean shit. I was one of those people that bought the game and I think it's mediocre. The only reason I would ever care about sales is hoping a good game sells well so that developer can continue to thrive and make a sequel or another great game.

It's no wonder you love MS so much. Money is all that matters to you. I'd rather play a great game than one that sole a gabillion copies. No matter what console it's on.

how am i trolling dude? i didnt start with the negative comments about twigg until he came in with his bashing of my opinion. I have gone out of my way to be repectful of peoples opinions on this game because i know how many people love it. All i have said is the game was disappointing thus far

see twiggs comment below as an example

How can you be like 40 fucking years old and game as long as you have and not know what a rail shooter is?

sorry i dont play a variety of games like you do. I also dont fully grasp the concept of a Turn based RPG.....is that an issue for you as well?

 

[Maynard]

It's no wonder you love MS so much. Money is all that matters to you. I'd rather play a great game than one that sole a gabillion copies. No matter what console it's on.

actually, its all that matters to you. I am willing to pay for services and content along with the price of a game if its worthy. You on the other hand bitch and complain about any form of financial gain a company hopes to achieve.

you should move to a socialist society where everything is spoon fed to you and you have no choices.

game would of been perfect with more sully

game would of been perfect with more sully

And yet, I agree... needs more Sully.

Yet another reason why I got UC1... as a consolation, there's always beating the game and buying the Sully skin for use in Single Player playthroughs.

He doesn't show on in-game movies and most of the time, you'll still hear Drake's voice, but it's still technically Sullivan.

 

[Twigg4075]

It's like Needs More Cowbell!

Sully is the fucking man. I like playing as him in co-op though.

 

[Maynard]

is sully the old guy who u meet after u get betrayed by that other guy. i forget the names

 

[Buzzman]

Wait a 2nd, what do you mean you can have a sully skin if you beat Uncharted 1?

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm not sure. You might be able to. Jay can answer that. I know he was telling me last night you can buy a Tenzin one.

I was referring to the co-op story type mode.

 

[JayDizzle]

Wait a 2nd, what do you mean you can have a sully skin if you beat Uncharted 1?

After some research, I've come up with an answer:

You unlock things by way of "medal points." Player skins, weapons, etc.

If you boot up a game save or even a new game, you'll see a menu option for "Rewards" once you pause it.

From there, under "Costume Select - Heroes" there will be an option to unlock a Victor Sullivan skin for use; but like all things in these games, you have to earn it first.

To answer your question, I would say that if you beat Uncharted 1, you should be able to go back through the game again with all the points you've earned and unlock Sully then.

The reward system is different seeing as the game works through a monetary system as opposed to medal points.

You earn money through doing anything essentially.

As for getting the Sully skin then, you have to earn $5000 to get it.

It should be under the Bonuses option in the main menu and from there, under the Store option.

Sully will be one of the Single Player Skins to buy.

TL;DR: You get Sully for points in the first game and through $5000 in the second game.

If you're talking about after you

 

pull the heist in the second game

,

then yeah, that's Sully.

btw what happens to the guy who betrays you in UC2. I comepletey forget right now.

 

[Buzzman]

wow thanks for showing me that shit, Had no clue there was all this extra shit. WOW

 

[JayDizzle]

btw what happens to the guy who betrays you in UC2. I comepletey forget right now.

 

Flynn (the guy who betrays you) ends up getting shot in the stomach by Lazarevic in an ironic twist as he shot you in the stomach after you passed the Train Level in game.

He basically "jump scares" the player after they reach Shambala (finally), telling them that Lazarevic betrayed him as well.

Afterward, Flynn pulls out a grenade to stop the player from progressing, critically wounding Elena and exploding in a heap of alluded-to gore

Other than that, Flynn lived happily ever after. :applause:

I've heard a rumor from Griswald that Naughty Dog is going to reset some shit online... nothing to worry about unless you covet your "Ranked Game" number.

Recently, we’ve been monitoring an issue in the “Ranked” playlist where players are seeing their playlist-specific skill rank being reset to level 1 throughout the course of play. In order to resolve this issue, we’ll be resetting the skill ranks for all players within the “Ranked” playlist on Friday, January 15, 2009 at 12:00 PM PST (what time is that in my city?). We will also be letting everyone know through an update of the multiplayer Message of the Day at that time.

Now don’t panic! We’re NOT resetting your overall progress or any other part of your accumulated stats. Your skill rank ONLY exists in the Ranked playlist and it is the number displayed between your level and your PSN ID – your level and the cash you’ve accumulated to date won’t change at all.

After the skill rank reset, all players should start seeing their skill rank increase (or decrease) normally.

We’ll be keeping an eye on things to make sure all is working as expected. In the meantime, we’re still working on addressing some other issues and, of course, working on DLC – which you’ll hear more about soon.

TL;DR - There's a bug that's resetting all the Ranked Game ratings back to one.

To counter-act this, Naughty Dog is just going to rest all the Ranked Game ratings back to 1 while they sort this shit out.

Other than that, nothing to worry about.
