[PS3] Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

[SethMode]

Quit bitchin man. You played it again yes, did I think it was annoying when it started, yes, but they only made you do only a fraction of the climbing and getting through the wreckage.

The difference the second time around was that you had to fight off the hordes of Roided up bady guys. I think it was pretty seamless, and brought you back to where you started, otherwise I would have been pretty annoyed if all of it was a dream/flashback sequence upto that point of the story.

Alright, first of all, don't call me out for bitching, as during WS time we should blindly be supporting each other in all of our endeavors.

Secondly, I really am not bitching. Like I said before, it didn't bother me, I just was confused by it. It was only like 2 minutes, I just don't see the logic behind it, especially since they only made you do a fraction of it. That's all.

Ok got your point.

Could they get away with making an Uncharted 3 just like the first 2?

it will get stale sooner or later....

Ratchet and Clank managed to do basically the same thing what? 7 times?

Still, I agree with you. However, this game isn't revolutionary in any facet, merely just does what others have done, and makes sure it does it well. The story and pacing is what had me. So if they can duplicate that, I imagine that it'll stay fresh for me.

i would think its going to be similar. if its not broke why fix it. just look at other successful games that have multiple titles, games like metal gear solid or halo. all of the games in the series are similar to each other but the developers are able to add new stuff and tweak the game to keep it fresh, and still fun to play. im sure ND can do the same. if you look at uncharted 2 its almost exactly like the original, outside of the addition of multiplayer, but they were able to take the weak points from the first game and polish the hell out of them and also add some new features.

Uncharted is the summer blockbuster of video games -- maybe not in sales, but just in the way it's set up. It doesn't do anything groundbreaking, and the story is merely serviceable, but it looks pretty and it's incredibly fun.

Will the series eventually get stale? Possibly, but people still flock to see James Bond movies even after four decades of movies. At it's core, each movie in the series is essentially the same, but each and every one does find a way to up the ante a little and make it refreshing.

so is the feeling still that this is a 9 or 10 overall? did it take you guys around 10-15 hrs to finish? i ask cause i want to rent it and make sure its short enough that i dont need to buy it. I wont play thru a 2nd time

i was turned off by the first game so wanted to make sure this was better then the first

took me about 12 hours to finish. its just like the first, except a lot more polished as far as gunplay and CQC go. id say its worth buying and holding on to but if you just want to rent it you should be able to bang it out in a couple days. it is almost better to play it in bigger clips since it is like a movie and the flow of the game is a lot better than if you stopped, played a couple chapters, stopped, waited a day or two then started again.

if you didn't like the first one they there is no reason why you would like this one.

The single player comaign is just bigger, better graphics, better story and more action. The gunplay is better....but overall it is very similar to uncharted 1.

You can beat the game in 2 days if you want.

I disagree. I thought the first one was over hyped. I got about halfway through it, got bored, and stopped playing.

The second one is 1000x better, so even if you didn't like the original UC, everyone should at least rent it.

The only complaint I have about the first game is that the game loves to throw about a million dudes at you and then calls it a "challenge."

Granted, a good portion of the gameplay is about taking out about a million dudes and then moving to the next set piece; but when the CPU doesn't give you a breather, it sucks.

UC2 fixed this by centering that same experience around the atmosphere of an action movie where those millions of dudes take a bullet and go down... and you are given a break afterward.

As for the rental comment, I would add that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune could still beat some of the garbage cranked out during the years since it's came out.

I liked the 2nd one much, much better than the first one

So did I...and I loved the first one.

I don't think I'll ever forget the first time you come into that clearing (in Uncharted 1) and see the German U-boat. The camera pans out and the lighting is remarkable.

I didn't think any game could look better than the first game. I was wrong.

I do. :bum:

Now that I figured out it was Double Dollar days (until Monday people, get on that shit) and I needed to be on that, banging out some levels.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

I do. :bum:

i never see you playing MP :shifty: . just hop into my party if you see me on

and during this weekend if you play on the heroes side your automatically skelzor and the "dead explorer" (some zombie looking dude) on the villains side. might as well enjoy playing as skelzor since it would take forever to get to level 60 (apparently once you get to level 50 you need a million points + to rank up)

Skelzor is one bad dude... those glowing eyes are crazy.

I sent you an e-vite.

Crimson... uh... Please Pity Poor Bauer.

His ass was sick and he needed the levels.:bum:

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

[JayDizzle]

Tonight was funnier than all hell... sad part was, what I was laughing at turned out to be an actual conversation between a father and his kid.

Thought that shit was ripped from a kids movie. :bunny:

For real though, best games I had in a while since I took a hiatus.

EDIT: GG Crimson and Bauer. Get well soon Jack.
